A fair point from Wenger. Expectation levels are high but he also added this.Quote:

It's his first season, he's not used to the winter break, so I'm hoping he'll get better. Wenger already said once that there was room for improvement and that he's adapting. He also said this a while back.Quote:
He is 25, he can only get better. The best years are coming for him now.

“First of all he is a hugely talented player. he is just arrived here three months ago and overall did not have the best of preparations for the league.
I've also heard that he's had mixed reviews in Germany so far. To add a bit of balance to the argument, he hasn't been a flop but this isn't his best and we need him to push on and not be content with what he's currently doing. He's capable of more and as that article points out, for Germany he really shines and that's the player I remember. There are subtle parts of his game, such as the unorthodox movement around the pitch, but he's got another level which we haven't seen.Quote:
“He is a young player, he is 25 years old so of course there is a lot of room for improvement for him.
“We have plenty of players who can take the ball and play you know because he plays in the central part of the pitch the ball goes through him. But we don’t put any special responsibility on him. Maybe he feels a bit more pressure to do that. We just want the game to be played like we see it and do not put any special responsibility on him.”

He has settled in well, has had some very good games, some good, some bad, maybe one awful game.
He's contributing though and we all know what he is capable of. He will be a star for us IMHO.
If this went in I'm pretty sure that a lot of Mesut's detractors would be singing his praises:

Özil :cloud9:
That's Ozil at his best, he's a top class player.Quote:

I remember him playing for Germany in 2010, he was terrifyingly good, but Germany were a counter attacking side that made the most of his talents.

He moves with such freedom in the centre and usually leaves the middle vacant anyway and drifts over to the left.
What the heck has happened to our counter attacks anyway? We should be hitting teams on the break with pace since we defend so deep and allow teams more possession of the ball than usual.
Sorry? It was a deflection! If it went it yes we'd be praising him...as the luckiest German since the ratlines :bow:Quote:
