Not arguing with you my friend. I'm retired.No one care about his stats. He can be invisible for 90 mins helping the team for nothing and then making an assist. That will count as a stats.
He is being criticised for not helping the team. You can have someone like Cazorla/fabregas in the team, even if they score no goals/make no assist. They will stilll be a better player because they makes their team plays better. He helps the team build up and progress the ball up the pitch.
Özil’s presence is a tactical liability and hurt the team in the build up phase, which cuts out chances bringing the ball to the final third.
I just had to come out of retirement and quickly smash Jury for calling Özil's best season a freak one.
