As far as I'm concerned for us, Cesc was way better at the things Ozil is perceived to do.

I feel like this guy has become such a weight around the neck of the team now, if we sold him I think we could certainly find a more effective attacking midfielder. Maybe even 2 players with his wages off the bill.
I've never seen so much praise for 5 yard passes and a player that hides from receving the ball, but it's finessed as his 'appreciation for space and uneducated fans and players just not understanding his art. Midfield is a high touch position and unless you're banging in goals like Frank Lampard, you shouldn't be able to get away with ghosting around the pitch, playing 5 yard passes like Elneny, weak and as lazy as Denilson but because it's Ozil, we should appreciate the offering. Rubbish.
