Mesut Özil: 2019/20 Performances

[GDeep™]

Decline started when that car crash of a manager, Bumnai was appointed. That’s not up for debate.

Only thing clockwork in here is you and your gang of cronies having your daily Özil cry.

Not daily mate if the thread gets bumped il comment, it is a forum after all. You seem to blame the club for the problematic players, why is that?

He only posts on his social media when we lose now Thats the state of things... He obviously prefers that environment because he thinks it makes him more relevant. Even his fans have turned on him. It’s all negative stuff now on his Twitter.

Guendouzi is a kid who should be controlled by the dressing room. Kids don’t mouth off if there are leaders running the team, like Dixon said.

On Özil though, the manager says Özil has had no behaviour or discipline issues, this is purely a football matter. These are the managers words.

Crying about crying has to be worse though, lad?

He was poor in Wenger’s last two years too. How many times did we hear about Özil having a “illness”?

 

[Jury]

It’s like, we all think he’s done here, and we all think he needs to go... Some are saying it and others are preferring to seethe about those saying what they agree with...

You’ve just described a gutless thief. Who else has that excuse? This is exactly what pisses people off in this thread. Can’t blame him? ****ing hell...

You can get pissed all you want. It doesn’t change the fact that the current team has zero footballing intelligence between them. Poor vision and poor passing ability.

Playing in such a team for a player of Özil’s ability must be draining to say the least.

Im not going to get into the politics being played behind the scenes. I don’t like to speculate, but the team as a whole shares the blame for the drop in performance we are seeing from Özil.

Think the last two Wenger seasons he played 75-80 games and hit 35 or so goals and assists, that’s nearly 1 every other game.

That’s a huge amount of games played and ab excellent return.

In his last season with Wenger he also went quickest to 50 assists in the PL.

Come on now, blaming the team is a bit of a stretch. We have gotten worse, but he has as well.

Though discussing his performances is pretty redundant at the moment as long as he's not even playing.

 

[sdotzdot]

It’s 2020 and with no where to hide people are still finding ways to blame others for a man failing at his job, **** me.

 

[Trilly]

Or Coquelin.. Don't forget Theo either.

Remember when he cried because people were criticising Walcott too much, and proceeded to leave the forum with the message "I'll miss a few posters", only to come back a couple of weeks later or so. :rofl:

This one made me laugh out loud. Gotta love man like @Jury

He’s like the uncle that you miss because you remember him being funny at family gatherings but then he comes to visit for a few days and you realise that he’s annoying and you could probably take him in a fight, so you almost choke him out because he tried to talk to you like you was some little kid and your mum has to break it up.

You eventually kind of mend the relationship, even have the odd laugh here and there but the tension will always be there because he knows you made a fool out of him.

100%, but also hard to argue that what's happening now isn't on Özil. He seemed back and playing well after Arteta came in but now something has happened again and it's the same story all over. I think he's stopped caring at this point tbh, but luckily we're for the first time showing we can actually be dangerous without him so hopefully we can move him on.

People in here trying to rewrite the past as if he wasn't excellent for us for five seasons though, shameful stuff.

12 goals and 17 assists in 59 league games. That’s not special, especially considering he goes totally missing in the big games.

Already posted, but so much ignorance in this forum, I'm reposting.

Article I wrote about Özil & Germany in the wake of the world cup: http://dailycannon.com/2018/07/mesut-Özil-2/

Some of it is quite shocking. He totally was the scapegoat, and a lot of it was clearly racially motivated, though he didn't always help himself.

Sadly it appears this part of my conclusion came to pass:
"The fear is that he could continue to find the situation distracting or that it impacts on his longer-term career motivation"

Since then, there's been a lot more phoning it in.

Whoever said he was they same player 5 years ago is talking rubbish, as 5 years ago he was the best creator in the division, with the 2nd best EPL assists total ever, and it was only the complete failure of the forward players to convert the chances he was creating in the second half of the season that stopped him smashing the record. Same bullshit with Germany, where all the Bayern old boys and racist pricks were slagging him off saying he'd been pony for years, despite being one their best players in the 2 years before 2018, and despite producing at an Elite level 2015-2017.

I can't help wondering if there is another story here, because Wenger, Low, Arteta and even Emery have been reluctant to slag him off even when he's missing 15 games or more a season.

Yes there's the back injury that's been affecting him since 17/18, but I wonder if there is another issue that has kept rendering him simultaneously unavailable but protected by his coaches.

Of course, now, its best for all concerned if he finds his way to Fenerbace in the summer, even if we have to pay off 1/2 his remaining contract
