Not exempt from criticism but at this stage if someone is blaming Özil for our current problems they are nuts. He has been by far our best player all season and is the only one who constantly shows up. If we want scapegoat anyone its 1.) Walcott, he is completely useless, offers nothing, just stands around offside all game walking around. 2.) Ramsey, can't make a simple pass, constantly out of position, can't hang on to the ball, he is fine if on the right or partnered with a defensive and technically strong player (pre geriatric Arteta) but when he needs to hold on to the ball, ping some passes, or be somewhat disciplined he is absolutely piss poor. I have been saying it since Ramsey's purple patch a couple years ago, when Ramsey is not scoring and covering up for his short comings he can be a liability. 3.) Wenger, besides the lack of adequate signings/squad depth that has killed us the last two years, he was clueless with his lineup and subs and out coached by LvG. Walcott should be a late sub when the game opens up and legs are tired, Giroud should have started, esp against Blind and Carrick. Coq should have stayed on instead of Elneny, we were just getting some momentum. Welbeck should have stayed on, him and Özil were the only two worth a damn today. But yeah, Özil sucks and doesn't show up in big games... Rolls eyesHaha so Özil is now exempt from criticism now?
We was playing against some kids today but how dare we analyse some things that are wrong with this team? Özil cannot be relied upon when we need him to take the game and get at defenders, Alexis usually does that but he's been horrible. A goal and an assist is great but it can't mask the general problems. For the record he's one of the last players i'd sell but we have to build a team around him somewhat if it's going to work.
