Mesut Özil: Time to Move Ön?

[Jury]

Not as painful as reading the exact same anti-Özil posts from you two years later

This whole forum is practically 'anti-Özil' now. You need to get with it lad.

 

[Kingslayer]

Nope.

'Is' is also valid as well.

Germany head coach Joachim Low told Sport Bild that Neuer is his first choice goalkeeper'.

Either the reporter was trying to discredit Özil as a player who's past his prime or Joachim Low really thought so. Of course, the reporter could be living in the past, just like all Liverpool and Manutd fans.

For cryin out loud...

Look at Low's actual quote. He talks about Mesut's qualities in the present tense. There's nothing wrong with how the reporter phrased it.

..... which in your world, translates to:

Felt it was too rigid back then and it was more 4-1-4-1 than a fluid 4-3-3, while Wilshere-Ramsey just didn't work as they were getting into each others way. It'd be a pity if it permanently put Wenger off the idea of ever trying again.

Lucas Alexis Özil
Ramsey Ox
Xhaka

I feel out of our current options this would work best as that front three all are capable of interchanging quite well.

You have to wonder when other AM's come to the premiership, such as Silva you are mentioned, why are they all fit into a system that suits their clubs rather than giving them a free role like we have Özil. It's particularly perplexing as I don't feel we've got the two players behind him right for some time.

No we're not

I don't like the system we use with him as 10 atm but he's still a great player. I'm sure we can make him work in some way.

More than anti Özil, the forum is actively pro midtable

Sack Wenger, build around Wilshere and Xhaka, get Szcz back, sell half of the squad and expect Kroenke to pump money, etc..

 

[yybecause]

I want him deeper on the pitch, and I want us to stick to 433 no AM.
We should upgrade on Lb and get a physical one. We need that to balance our defense but it would also help out midfield balance. If we could find a lefty Sagna it would be brilliant.
Havent seen much of Mendy but he strikes me as potential solution.

Özil is not a great defender, but he does have a great feeling for the game. You want ur playmakers to be in the middle of everything, and surely he would be much more involved as CM rather than a 2nd striker.
I am not going to get dragged into discussion if he can play there or not, but let me just say he did start as CM and was terrific, plus, surely it can only be better then having him isolated up front. Once again I'll bring Pirlo up. He never was a great defender, but he had great feeling for a game and where to position himself. You could barely see him struggle as a DM cause he was always 2 steps ahead of everything.

In my opinion Özil staying at Arsenal wouldn't be loyalty, I think he's just comfortable in the best city in the world getting paid to not push himself.
Sanchez on the other hand seriously wants to win things and play for a top team.
I've said this many times, I dont think Wenger gets the best out of Özil because he is too relaxed and doesnt push him.
I personally would be happy for Özil to leave if we kept a happy Sanchez

You can't mix past and present tense. You could write that, but you'd be wrong. You'd get marks taken off a GSCE English exam writing like that ffs.

Thanks. Just realized my mistake.

Özil still sucks and is past his peak anyway. His younger years were probably his best years. Now he is just going through the motions.

the reporter or Low himself got his tenses mixed up, but it is still correct English.

Notice the article used 'was'

Not really your fault for the incorrect tense in the original article.I never won any elocution contests, but I will try this for you:

Red is Past
Blue is Present

Meanwhile, Germany head coach Joachim Low told Sport Bild that Özil was "one of the best players in the No. 10 position in the world."

"His passes, his touch of the ball are unique," Low said. "He plays his passes directly into the running path of his teammates, exactly where they have to go. That's Mesut's big strength, and Cristiano Ronaldo profited from it at Real.

"Sure, his performances are patchy sometimes. But he does things, which not everyone sees at first glance. Even when he is not at his best, he usually has the best running performances at the highest intensity. He covers a lot of ground, and a few don't realise it.

"Mesut can make the difference."

Meanwhile, Germany head coach Joachim Low told Sport Bild that Özil was "one of the best players in the No. 10 position in the world."

The first sentence is in past tense, so the usage is correct for that sentence. As the reporter had already used a past tense in the sentence, he cannot use present tense.

And that concludes the English lesson for today.

From sexy to sh*t to English lessons.

It used to be Giroud, but now it's Özil.

 

[Kingslayer]

Only @Parvez-Drupesh should be giving English lessons on this forum, tbf.

Noute wrong with building around these pair. Two quality players.

On a forum one does not speak, but type.

 

[InvertedFootballer]

Arsène's latest statement about thinking Özil and Alexis will stay pretty much confirms Özil imo

Guy has been clear about how nice is it to work with Wenger, be it for the freedom Wenger gives him and his evolution as a footballer or because he's allowed to get away with being **** for a while.
