Ozil - Do we need him?

[Power n Glory]

I wrote something similar to this weeks ago regarding Ozil, Ramsey, and Xhaka. Glory_N_Alternative_Facts still thinks it's all the players.

We have some top class played on this team and Ozil has performed at a higher level than Arsenal in bigger matches than we have played. You cannot accurately judge any of our star players until Wenger is gone. Every problem with our play is down to a guy who has no idea how to organize a team in today's micromanaged tactical world. Wenger is the problem.

Alternative facts?

Can anyone explain to me how the heck the system we play stops a player from doing the simplest thing any player can do and track back?

Or something as simple as jumping to defend a header?



Man, if you guys don't knock off this bullshit about the 'system'....

When will common sense kick in? If you’re at work and have to contact an important client on deadline day but emails aren’t working, is that an excuse not to work at all? How about picking up the phone?

As said with Ozil, he’s super talented, has pace, can dribble and pass. Ok, passing isn’t working but seek an alternative way to win the game if you’re truly world class. The best in the world aren’t so easy to stop. What pisses me off more than anything is that he’s one of the few that’s capable. People are often surprised by sudden burst of pace or dribbles because he shows it. Take some initiative. If you’re hammering it out for 80 odd minutes with unsuccessful pass after pass and still losing, when will it the light bulb shine to try something different? It’s the same sort of thing I hammer Arsene Wenger for with his rigid approach. Ozil is one of the few players capable of adapting his play.

Also, no matter how much I can’t stand Wenger as manager it doesn’t mean players can get away with some of the performances we’ve seen. You’ve seen the clips of Sanchez and Ozil walking and not defending against Chelsea. For the Hazard goal we saw similar to what Ramsey pulled against Watford. What has that got to do with the system? It’s inexcusable.
