No I was not arguing that Özil would have made any difference to that outcome. I was just arguing that possession by itself does not equate to control.You seem to be arguing in favour of Kash2's argument that "no wonder liverpool get tonked 7-2 and city get smashed by leciester. Theres no one in the middle controlling the game." In another words that City wouldn't get smashed by Leicester if they had a player like Özil in the middle. Which is something I find extremely hard to agree with.
In my opinion Özil is a proxy commander, as in He does his best work through others and he needs the right midfielders around him to influence games. By himself he can’t control or dictate a midfield or a flow of game. However with the right player (Cazorla, Alonso, Khedira, Modric) he can feed off them find the spaces and keep possession rotating then picking up the ball to make that good pass. He requires movement around him to be at his most effective (something Arsenal is not as most of our players stand up and watch the play).
