Ozil - Do we need him?

[Power n Glory]

Absolute nonsense PnG. What's happened to football is so obvious that the piss is making bruises as it hits your face. And yet we have some people saying, oh dear, how can we tinker with this just a little to get a different outcome? It's just silly.

You have some sort of agenda biased against Ozil. Any fool can look at the guy playing the game and come away appreciating he's a top class footballer. For that to be in question is ridiculous. It doesn't warrant a debate. However, it's perfectly legitimate to ask if we are getting the best from this player given our setup and our (ahem) tactics. We aren't. I'm not sure anyone disagrees with that. It's frustrating. We have a world class player on our hands and we can't seem to use those talents to the best effect. I wonder why that is? certainly not because the player lacks talent. And certainly not because he's established himself right up there with Messi as the most effective influencer in world football. I mean these are the facts, right? We know the guy can do it because he's done it. Right in front of our eyes.

So why is he not doing it now? Could it be that he's suddenly lost all his talent? Or could it be because we have an idiot in charge of the club?

I wonder? What could the most realistic answer be?

Wenger does this. He passes off the blame to anywhere and everywhere to avoid the glaring issue at the very heart of this club. The cancer.

It’s far from nonsense. You should probably calm down with the blanket statements. It doesn’t help. You can’t have Lewandowki down as an ideal striker for us and a talented player but write off the whole of European football. That’s nonsense.

I also think you’re watching a totally different player. Ozil is super accurate and tends not to waste passes. Pinpoint accuracy. I rarely see him play a pass into space hoping the runner gets on to the end of it with a defender contesting it. He plays the percentages and often won’t take a shot if a player is in a better position than him. Am I wrong? That doesn’t mean he’s not world class and that doesn’t mean there is an agenda behind this. What would the purpose be? What’s my agenda?

This is the part I think you’re struggling with.

However, it's perfectly legitimate to ask if we are getting the best from this player given our setup and our (ahem) tactics. We aren't.

So if we all agree we’re not getting the best out of our players, how so?

I’m not the only one who thinks we’re not getting the best out of Ozil. But that extends to other players as well. Without talking about a radical change in personnel that involves the transfer window or sacking the manager, are their possible solutions within the squad to make us a better unit? I think so. Also, if we were to talk about other managers being able to get more out of this team than Wenger, explain how if possible. That’s all this is.
