He was occasionally a liability for us, but more often than not, he made the team tick.In the interest of completeness it should be pointed out that his post match player rating for this final game and the one before that (Europa loss) were extremely poor.
He was brilliant a few games prior against Newcastle.
This is what you get, the occasional brilliant game followed by phases of mediocrity. Not what we need now, plus he will be completely and utterly demotivated.

You don't just leave out a good player out of the team without having another option or plan.
you ignoring all the stats around you?In recent years the team didn't tick even if he was playing. Just look at what happened last season, Emery would still be our manager right now if we ticked thanks of Özil. Özil is about as good a player right now as Xhaka, and leaving Özil out is like leaving Xhaka out.
if ESR keeps improving I will stop calling for Özil as we have a #10 in the team then.
yup, could have breathed easy two seasons ago. but we decided to teach Özil a lesson by cutting off our nose.Club can breathe easy for now then.
Can this cancer just feck off. This little digs and snide comments is getting pathetic.
Jesus, you're not well.Can this cancer just feck off. This little digs and snide comments is getting pathetic.

I remember the good old days when certain man moaning about the word ‘cancer’ were calling our longest serving manager and absolute legend ‘senile’ and it was coolNo offence but there's a clear bias as to how people get treated on this thread, dependant on what views they have, maybe it's just due to people reporting stuff, I don't know.
Calling someone a cancer or cancerous isn't terrible in that context. It's been used by pundits on TV and in the media forever. There are articles online by legitimate sports outlets rank 'The most cancerous players in the dressing room.' etc Anyone can look them up. If English isn't someone's first language I can see why It would look bad, but it's not.
Trusted Members are allowed to tell me to F off and erroneously label me a Xenophobe because I don't like a £350k a week footballer who's been in semi retirement for 3 years, but Oxeki using a phrase like that is worthy of sanction. Doesn't make sense.
Not even getting started on the fact that political stuff isn't allowed on here, fair enough. Yet this thread was running on the Chinese conspiracy theory in the summer and statements Özil made, which were in themselves inherently political in nature.
There is a level of whining, intolerance of other peoples opinions and pandering in this thread that you don't get in the Xhaka or Bellerin threads and those players have got absolutely battered and called every name under the sun.
Maybe there should be an Özil appreciation thread where Mesut's hardcore supporters can congregate where they don't have to deal with divergent opinions?
The double standard is staggering. Mustafi has been called worse but apparently when it comes to Özil, speech police comes out in full force.No offence but there's a clear bias as to how people get treated on this thread, dependant on what views they have, maybe it's just due to people reporting stuff, I don't know.

I know people think it's tone policing or whatever but surely we can discuss Özil without resorting to that? I remember when people used to call Wenger that and it always rubbed me the wrong way, no matter what people think of players/coaches they still represent Arsenal.No offence but there's a clear bias as to how people get treated on this thread, dependant on what views they have, maybe it's just due to people reporting stuff, I don't know.

I haven't seen that, do you have a link?Trusted Members are allowed to tell me to F off and erroneously label me a Xenophobe because I don't like a £350k a week footballer who's been in semi retirement for 3 years, but Oxeki using a phrase like that is worthy of sanction. Doesn't make sense.
Tbf the Xhaka has taken many casualties in terms of bannings. Bellerin I'm not as sure of, other than Mitch's posts which most take in good humour I haven't this level of vitriol towards him. People regularly attack Özil on a personal level, we even had someone say that it would've been better for the club if he had been killed by the guys that attacked him and Kolasinac.There is a level of whining, intolerance of other peoples opinions and pandering in this thread that you don't get in the Xhaka or Bellerin threads and those players have got absolutely battered and called every name under the sun.
