Ozil

Yes and Man Utd never won anything with Beckham, Giggs, Nevilles etc. when they were kids.

What Özil needs is a couple more months on the shelf to teach him not to pick and choose whichever matches he feels fit enough to play in.

Watch us play like cowards on Monday. Negative and turgid with the like Torreira playing as the creative MF.

Will probably end the game with max 3-4 shots on goal

Great to hear Ozil plans on seeing out his 350K a week contract to train at Arsenal til 2021

We should hire bodybuilders to train players like Ozil at the training ground. Obviously they are working too much on condtioninig and too less on strenght. Just look at Adama. He is unstoppable.

So you'd rather look weak and punkass with Ozil, losing after he hides all game as usual? I don't understand why people keep insisting he should play when they know we don't have the necessary players or team setup to make it work. Having Ozil in the side more so far would have seen WORSE results, not better. Been a lot of rough games so far, he'd have vanished in all of them, did in some.

If we were defensively solid at the back with a commanding MF in charge of the game, but starved of chances for a blistering front 3. Then I'd still say they were all full of it but I could understand their logic. "Defensively we're very good, so we can afford to carry a pansie." I get it.

But defensively we're a bloody shambles. Right now the PL focus has to be DEFENCE FIRST! And that means no room for Ozil. Maybe with a fully fit back line, an injured/banned Xhaka and a settled Pepe, we'll be afforded the luxury of "Strength enough to carry Ozil." But until then playing him is begging to lose.

At the moment we are relying on Auba to put away the 1 or 2 chances we create in games.

He might re think that one after he gets jacked without Kolasinac to watch his back again.

Tbh I don't know how he's not scared to be in N. London. If I was him I'd be worried Arsenal fans would beat my ass if they saw me

Lack of creativity comes from no solid attack platform and no width to be creative with. Not lack of Ozil. If you put him in at the moment, he'd have the same issue of nothing to create with. Whilst not defending helping us to concede more.

Because we're basically Crystal Palace, plus Aubameyang and Leno, in terms of player quality.
