Mesut Özil: He came, he saw, he conquered

[blaze_of_glory]

All these players taking turns carrying us. It's like they're working together or something.

He would be out of this world for Barca or Bayern.

I was thinking "Messi, Ozzil" while watching Barca earlier.

Özil touches against Zagreb:

His passing numbers are most impressive of the lot, though. An overall success rate of 88.2 per cent from 68 passes is exceptional for a player who spends so much time in attacking areas. Yet that is where Özil shines most – his passing success was even higher in the opposition half (90.4 per cent) even though he never just looks for the simple ball. He created twice as many chances (four) as any other Arsenal player on the night.

Özil has either scored or set up 11 of Arsenal’s last 19 goals in all competitions; a quite incredible statistic in a team filled with such talent. They reach a crucial stage of a season in which they should be challenging for the title with Mesut Özil to thank that they are still in with a very good chance of doing so. And in Europe, if Arsenal are to make it out of Group F their German wizard will have been the man to rescue them.

He's so ****ing good. It is outrageous.

Could've had four goals tonight. Arsène has been encouraging him to shoot more often and become more clinical. Imagine him with a goal threat, would be a Balon d'or candidate. His control, touches, passing, vision is just out of this world. What a player.

Honestly don't even care if he isn't much of a goal threat, which he is from time to time. Let him focus on the brilliance he is now.

 

[Bould14]

He's finally having the year we wanted him to have when we bought him. Just makes everything click, and can dissect teams apart.

 

[Bagels]

Brilliant player, watching him gives me hope for the world.

The dude is on fire. Long may it continue. As good as he is, he needs his midfield partners to ensure that he gets enough of the ball to do what he does best.

He does need to be a much greater goal threat, so glad he scored tonight.

 

[SA Gunner]

Pity he didnt do this again.

 

[logic DC]

didn't watch the game would you guys say this was his best performance in a European tie?

Not sure tbh. He made quite a statement against Napoli in his 1st CL game.

 

[celestis]

nope.

 

[Nyctophobia]

Other than being top, top player, he's comes off as such a nice person; someone people really can look up to.

And deservedly so I think. 30 minutes into the game I was wondering how the hell he was everywhere at once..

By the end of the game I realized it's simple - he's Mesut ****ing Özil

he is out of this world here.

Özil touches against Zagreb:

could he be the solution to the Middle East crisis - he's Muslim!
