But it's not a one-way street, and Ozil has gone missing in some key games...
Ozil is not the only guy who has gone missing. Far from it. It's not hard to go missing in a pit of quicksand, which is the best way to describe our game these days. Nobody can tell me Theo is really as bad as he appears right now. Or that Ox is genuinely that incompetent. Or Koscielny, a defender who was rapidly finding authority in this league, suddenly can't defend. And what about Alexis? What has been going on to make a guy so enthusiastic for the game appear as if he just doesn't want to be here? There has to be something catastrophic occurring behind the scenes. And that catastrophe has a name.

I'm not going to blame any of the players any more. It must be twice as frustrating for them, knowing in advance how the season is going to go and being powerless to prevent it because some fool has them tap dancing and striking balletic poses instead of playing football. Watching the emperor stroll around, buck naked, prattling on about his 4th place trophy.

Let's see how things are once he's gone. I'll bet anyone right now our football and results will be transformed once he fucks off out the door. That's if he hasn't destroyed everything beyond repair beforehand.
