All these Ozil out articles but who is the replacement?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Already told you CEBALLOS! He's not a DM or a CM he's a bloody CAM. People keep talking like Ozil is the only CAM at the club, he's not. Not as easy to do now as it would have been with Torriera fit however (Arteta fecked up big time missing that trick). Torriera, Xhaka, Ceballos is what we should have been playing with as the MF three the last 5-10 games. No doubt at all that Ceballos WOULD have performed BETTER than we've seen from Ozil, had he just been given the run of games to settle into doing so. Relentless flogging of the Ozil dead horse has meant he ain't got a look in. Meaning now to do it we'd have to risk Xhaka behind a hotheaded Guen or play Luis at DM. No
Point is Castor, IMO Ozil himself is that much of a handicap, that it largely doesn't matter who you replace him with. As long as they're good enough to play PL football and got some determination and commitment, ANYONE will do. Ya could put the reserve goalie in there and he's likely to give us more than Ozil. No he won't silky pass all day but I guarantee you he'd run his heart out and make a defensive nuisance of himself. Essentially, we're in team strength credit, so to speak. Off putting any player who gives a sh!t in the team instead of him.

No matter how Arteta approaches the game we are 100% guaranteed to lose. It’s just a matter of keeping the losing margin down. This will be City’s easiest game since their trip to the Emirates
