Buying Ozil was a mistake

Hahahahahahhaahahahahahahahahahah you cunt

Yeah, he scored from 3 yards out, the goal was gaping but he shot at Neur. The credit for that goal should go to Bellerin, not Ozil.

This even further proves you desperation.

Apart from the goal Ozil was wearing his invisibility cloak s usual.

Alarmingly Sanchez was very poor. Wenger says he's jaded, so I hope he's rested the next game.

Eh no, Neuer was practically in god mode yesterday, even Messi would have shot "at" him.

Make up your mind. Now you're saying credit should go to the one who created the chance in the first place, not the finisher. Well, that's what Özil does day in and day out: creates chances.

Alarmingly Sanchez was very poor.

He had two poor decisions in a game full of hundreds of them. Would hardly call that "very poor". Bayern were pressing and flooding the midfield, and Sanchez mistakenly passed into the centre of the pitch twice, but other than that he was great as always.

This thread proves you're a cunt mate

I have such a good reply to this thread's title.... I'm really really tempted to say it

Ozil today went to NUMBER 1 in the all time Premier League rankings for assists per game. Not bad for a mistake, heh?

Truth is he has been fantastic since day 1, building on a stunning debut and just continuing to play the same for over 2 seasons now. Now that the uneducated English football media (and fans) are waking up to what real talent is there are some trying to make out that he has somehow changed. In fact, he has not. He has always been brilliant for Arsenal.

Where are these stats? Thought he was brilliant today, even defensively. A couple of dodgy passes, but then everyone had a few of those, even Nacho.

Quite amazing for a mistake and a player 'knicking a living' as the media tells us. Goes to show that you should never listent to the biased media or you may end up making a fool of yourself on forums, like the OP has done here :)

Having the highest games-per-assist rate in Premier League history is a mind-blowing stat, considering that Mesut Özil has very little control of whether or not a key pass or chance created turns into an assist or not - that is up to the goalscorer. And it is especially mind-blowing because of the fact that Arsenal haven't been the highest scoring team for a long time, and haven't had a so-called "world class striker" since Henry.

So he is now the most prolific assister in Premier League history, despite playing in a team with half the resources of Man City and Chelsea, despite having no efficient strikers around him, and despite apparently being a £42.4m flop.

Perhaps it's time to lock this thread seeing as it's not only factually incorrect but now also clinically insane to call Mesut Özil anything other than the best #10 playmaker in the world..

Missed out a certain Robin van Persie in the 'so called World Class striker'

That's a joke, right? ;)

I miss him

I wish he wasn't a cunt

He was so so good

Well he's shit now.

But imagine if giroud managed to not fluff one in every 5 sitter mesut has created for him.

Well he's shit now.

He was shit for a vast majority of his career. He had two very good season in a 20-year long campaign. Would hardly call that world class.

Our team setup made him look better than he was. But since this thread is not about that snake..lets enjoy having Ozil at Arsenal...

Sorry but I'm not having this revisionist view. van Persie was a genius and carried our worst teams under Wenger to the top four. He is a massive cunt but his technique was up there with some of the best Arsenal have ever had. Isn't he relatively high up in our highest goalscorers too?

Van Persie was alright, but let's not pretend he carried anyone, except for that final season before moving to Man Utd.

Before that he was similar to Giroud. Good squad player at 0.41 goals per game before that final season. Giroud's Arsenal record is currently 0.43 goals per game, so he's even slightly above Van Persie in that respect. For comparison, Henry's number is 0.61 goals per game.

Then keep in mind that before that final season he only averaged about 22 apperances in the Premier League every season. Rest of the fixtures were spent in the injury room.

So no, I definitely do not agree Van Persie carried anyone.

RvP was world class in terms of talent in my view but he never consistently reached the world class level because of injuries. He never really got a long run of games until the last couple of years, at which time he proved himself. Over the course of his whole career at Arsenal he can only really go down as average to good. Certainly not a great.

As for Ozil I think the statement that only the insane would now criticize him is about right, though I would add that its also a case that those maintaining a position that he is anything but world class and a huge success are doing it because they are so embarrassed and can't bring themselves to admit their foolishness. Its the same with pundits like Neville, Henry and Scholes. NOW they say he is great and are trying to make out he has completely changed his game - when in fact he has not. They have just been educated a bit more by watching him.
