Our Mids wouldn't have been able to cope with a fully firing Bayern without having guys like Özil/Alexis.
crazy to even imagine AFC without Özil/Alexis. We're not even a top-half team without these two.

We look much better without a passenger in midfield.

Actually, even if the stars align along with a functional midfield Özil is still below par. Germany NT is the biggest example of this. They have the likes of Kroos, Khedira, Gundogan, Schweinsteiger(before) etc and yet he struggles to make his mark on the big stage. Hell, Boateng, Hummels, Howedes and Kroos et all bypass the "best playmaker in the world" with their quality passes straight to the runners forwards. There is no need for him to participate when Cbs and midfielders at the back can just do the playmaking.
If Özil was the best playmaker in the world Real Madrid wouldn't get rid of him and he would be at a top club instead of at Arsenal where the fans are divided about his actual influence. Its because he is limited and not good enough for the highest level.

Compelling case was made in favour of the anti-Özil brigade last night, at least in the first half. I still think Özil, at his best, is world class. But more and more I'm convinced we don't have the personnel to accommodate his talents.
Reaching absurdist levels now...
Arsenal ace Mesut Özil has scooped the prestigious Germany Footballer of the Year award for the fifth time in his career.
The award is voted for by fans, who collectively determine the man they believe has been the country's finest performing footballer over 12 months.
The 28-year-old claimed 54.5 per cent of the 316,850 votes to win the award, while Real Madrid’s Toni Kroos came in second place with 33.9 per cent.

@krackpot But do explain how what I've said is absurd.
he's also the most capped active player in the squad.
must be the manager who is stupid, then.
you don't like him. fine.. but how can you argue against someone who has >80 caps for Germany (of all teams)?

Why so serieuse?
Özil took part in training long enough to pass on the virus to Welbeck.

Yeah, don't rate the manager at all. And he constantly called up Podolski and Mertesacker. They shouldn't have been in the late years with all the talent coming through.

Of course I can. What sort of logic is that? How many caps does Podolski have? He was a nothing player at basically every high level bar Bundesliga midtable.

It's called 'convenient logic'. Used when it suits. See Per and his 3.6 million caps for the same team.
you two should make a cult. I'll design you a logo.

I will say that Sanchez had a bit of a ****ter last season and this year he's had his best season in an Arsenal shirt.
Let's not behave like Real Madrid fans and turn on our obviously very talented players as soon as they start under-performing. Özil might need to sit on the bench for a bit but let's not pretend he isn't class.

Özil is undoubted class in the right team and with the right players around him. but unless he is surrounded by superstars he is average at best.
He does not suit our game and has always slowed down our play. Last night for 54 min we saw that it was possible to control and dictate the midfield with that formation we played. Which also game more licesne to the wide players to get forward, sadly when Özil plays you sacrifice that control of the midfield.
He is a luxury that we can't afford right now and needs sold in the summer with the money used to strengthen where we need it more.
Özil suits our game just fine. what he doesn't suit are mediocre players.
The control and dication you saw was basically down to Bayern keeping a high line, and Ox/Xhaka finding the runs of Theo.
Our system is not even about Özil anymore, if you care to observe. he's not been in our team for three games, and we still lost.
