Ozil - Do we need him?

[Marc Overmars]

I said last night that although he mainly had a stinker, he picked out Iwobi with a great cut back which of course led to Alexis scoring. I don't think we have another player who would have found that pass, most of the time it would have been a hopeful cross into the box.

No doubting Ozil is a bit of an enigma but I'd say we definitely need him. Only way I'd contemplate moving him on is if I was confident we'd land a worldie or 2. Which isn't going to happen.
