Well, that depends on the quality of the chances created and the quality of the strikers who the chances fall to.
In the Korea game Ozil put one on a plate and the player in the middle. Yes, it was a cross but so what? A good cross results in a good chance, if the chance is missed then why would anyone point the finger at the player who delivered the ball?
I remember that Southampton game where I think Ozil broke the PL record for chances created in a game. Yes, mostly crosses but, again, so what? We drew that game 0-0 but Ozil couldn't have done more to help us win.

I'm not clear what you're expecting from Ozil and not seeing. Some criticisms about performances in some big games and workrate are probably valid, but he does seem to be singled out for criticism far more than it's deserved, IMO.
