Mesut Özil: 2019/20 Performances

[kash2]

Sounds like a load of BS an Özil acolyte would come up with. Why was Rudiger and Boateng not dropped from the squad, eh?

Özil was the one that played the racism card. Players like Gundogan amd Mustafi have all started for Germany without any problem. And when these players had bad performances, it was criticized, but for some reason Özil plays bad but people are not allowed to criticize him.

Some of his acolytes like you have gone round saying the fall out of that 2018 world cup affected Özil's performance when we both know that's not true.

Some were even saying that the mugging affected him. Meanwhile, nobody mentions Kolasinac who was facing the real threat.

Face it, your master is a princess. The sooner he leaves, the better for the club.

It's not about being a minority.. it's about not keeping in your lane as a good minority... accepting the soft bigotry and trying to fit in... let's leave strawmen out.

He played well in the world cup. He played well leading up to covid shutdown.

People forget that muslims too are allowed to be right wing or kooky in their politics.

TBF, this is xenophobia. But still just as bad.

My question is was Özil the Only none-native German in that team?

There were quite a few of them and they were criticized for their performance. Gundogan came back from the world cup and was killing it for city. Meanwhile Özil came back and that same post-world cup criticism was used as an excuse for Özil not performing.

He was the only one who didn't bow down and gave it back

What are you talking about?

Even during his best years for us (2013-2016), he was massively inconsistent. People like @Jury having saying it for years that Özil is overrated. He was not integral to our FA cup win. Stop trying to be revisionist.

Özil has always been a been a player that disappeared when we needed him the most.

In, 2015-16, he had 17 assist in the first half of the season and disappeared in the second half of the season.

Özil didn't do **** in our 18-19 Europa league run.

Don‘t care what @Jury or you had to say about his supposed inconsistency, professionals like Wenger/Löw/Mourinho loved having a player like Özil. Never mind super stars like Ronaldo/Ramos.

As for the 15/16 he was fantastic throughout the whole season. Assists dried up because Giroud being Giroud couldn‘t keep up. Remember he went how many games without scoring? Or was that also Özil‘s fault?

We won our first trophy in years within Özil‘s first year here. The likes of Cazorla/Ramsey were already here before that and couldn‘t win, Alexis hadn‘t still arrived either. It happened because Özil‘s presence helped raise the level of the whole team. I‘ll never forget that Özil’s arrival meant we could go for the likes of Alexis Sanchez, he raised the whole club really.

As for that EL run, are you kidding me? There wouldn‘t even be a run if not for Özil. Emery left Özil out against BATE in the first and we lost quite embarrassingly and then brought him back for the second game and surprise we destroyed them with Özil starting. Then his performance against Napoli at home? Valencia home and away? Don‘t be ungrateful dude.

So why is that now an excuse for his bad performance?
Gundogan came back from the WC and was still killing it for city meanwhile, 2 years on people are still using that world cup criticism as an excuse for Özil's bad performances.

He's done accept it. He hasn't Been the same player since 2017. No other club in the world would have given Özil that wage but we did. Fair play to him. He took us to the cleaners.

Edit: Don't even get me started on his social Media campaign/propaganda. Anytime we lose, he runs to twitter to post cryptic messages. But when we win he's quiet. Why?

Hopefully we get this cancer and his loyal band of followers out of the club

Stop talking to the voices in your head. The last few times he has played, he played well.
He also played well in the world cup.

Watch football

He was poor in the World cup, as was the whole German team.

They all were criticized for it. Özil probably received more criticism because of his body language. He was throwing his arms up in the air when things didn't go his way.

Özil was criticized because of his photo with Erdogan, it had nothing to do with football. He was Germany‘s best attacking player really, look up the chances created, led the whole team.

He was borderline average in the World cup that's why he was criticized.

Looool we’re gonna whitewash the racism now GG bro GG

The only goal we scored from open play was from an own goal. The other two goals were from corner kicks.
I don't get why people keep saying we won that game because of Özil.

Özil was his usual self in that game; Simple without threatening.

Let's not engage in revisionism. He wasn't integral to our Europa league run. Guys like Laca, Auba and Koscielny were more important to our run.

what has racism got to do with Özil being poor for such a long time?

Reckon this thread should be locked again.

Even your boy Emery raved about Özil in that BATE game lmao.


You close your eyes all you want but Özil was excellent during that run, and the whole second half of that season really with great performances against Man Utd, Chelsea in between.

Was he the only Footballler who snapped a photo with Erdogan. IIRC Gundogan was in that photo. Both of them received a media backlash but Gundogan didn't sulk. He carried on with his business.

Cant tell if you’re serious with this. Some shocking posting either way as usual.

Gündogan apologized for the photo, Özil didn‘t. That‘s all it came to unfortunately. You can argue many things about Erdogan and Özil‘s connection with him, but ultimately that fueled the hatred/criticism he received. In purely football terms he was the best attacking player Germany had in the World Cup and one of the top performers overall.

. In purely football terms he was the best attacking player Germany had in the World Cup and one of the top performers overall.

No he wasn't. Reus was far better

 

[Sanchez11]

Did he tweet after the game?

 

[Ash10]

The amount of revisionism in this thread is beyond belief. I've never been an Özil 'hater' per say but to bring up some media backlash from two frickin years ago to defend him is just pure fanboyism. Others moved on & are doing what they're supposed to do & here he is totally unmotivated. I was one of those people that wanted Özil back in the team during that Emery fiasco. But when he came back it has obvious that fans dropped their standards for him so much that okay performances got hailed as great performances. Even before his good performances got labelled to be great but that was acceptable I suppose. Özil's always been a player with world class ability who'd rarely justify his own ability. His fanboys just don't want to look at facts

 

[MikeVinna]

He’s always said he’ll see out his contract. Who wouldn’t?

If he’s staying anyway we may as well use him. If even in a limited way coming from the bench or playing the cups. Guess we’ll find out when/if he’s declared fit soon..

 

[kraphtous]

No he wasn't. Reus was far better

I disagree but even if that is true, you can see why Özil would feel slighted to be criticized so much for being the second best attacking player and one of the top performers right? It didn‘t have to do anything with football.
