Damn I miss him
(Mirror)Mertesacker quotes about him. Very very interesting:
And Mertesacker says there are steps that Özil can take to recifty the problem.
He said: “I hope Mesut can get fit. Unai requires a certain fitness level. Unai is fair to everyone. You need to deliver a certain fitness level – then you are available to play. Unai tries to get through to him. He talks to him. He says: ‘You need to train to a certain level every day – I need you to be fit – otherwise you are not going to play.’
“That’s what I’ve seen. He puts him in the squad but then leaves him on the bench. If he trains to the level that’s required, he can play.
“Personally, I’m in favour of that. When Mesut is fit, he is one of our best players. He needs to be in there. We need to build the team around him and make him stronger.”
However, Mertesacker admits that he is at a loss as to how to motivate the 30-year-old.
He added: “It’s his personality, he doesn’t take it personally.
“I don’t know what the trigger is. I had my go. I’ve tried very hard to be close, to stay away from him...sometimes I’ve given him a shout, sometimes not. He was okay with everything.
“It’s about Mesut himself.
“He can deliver for us. I gave him the feeling I trusted him on the pitch. I knew in pressure situations, I could give him the ball.
“He has talent. Now it’s up to others to unlock it.”

Really??? Why isn't it up to him to unlock it?
he's a WC Winner. He's already unlocked it.
He's not been able to keep doing it for Arsenal, which is probably what Mertesacker means

So Özil's not fit, not working hard enough in training, and is difficult to motivate.
Lovely stuff.
Lovely stuff.

Would probably kill me inside too if I was one of the best attackers in football and would have to only practice defense.

So why is he playing today ?
Maybe
You're wrong, no?
I can only think of Ronaldinho who would walk into this squad in a situation you've described

Let‘s hope Mertesacker doesn‘t have the same mentality towards talented attackers as Emery does or our attacking talents are doomed.
The one highlight of the match.

Not at all surprised to see Özil’s performance is being massively overrated on here.
He had a decent (if rusty) first half, with a fantastic pass for our second goal, but was anonymous throughout the second as the team struggled to get a single attack going. Was far too slow to second balls as well. We actually looked more likely to score when Nelson replaced him, and Nelson dropped a clanger of a performance.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not criticising Mesut. It was a promising performance that makes me want to see more of him. But let’s not pretend it was anything complete or special. That pass was a great reminder of what he is capable of, but over 90 minutes he can do far, far, better.
