Ozil - Do we need him?

[Penguin]

if Alexis ran behind more, he would have more goals and Ozil would have more assists. He doesnt. Thats why he sucks at striker. He chases the ball too much and doesnt stay advanced.

The point is he does make runs behind and those goals are the proof. Most of our players always come short to get the ball to feet, but Alexis is one of the few who does actually look to break the lines.

He also chases back and tries to win the ball back because that's the type of player he is. It doesn't have to be one or the other.

Alexis mixes it. The guys the shortest guy on the pitch and will score from a header! That comes from making good runs.

Theo is a player that spends the majority of his time on the pitch making runs in behind defenders. He can go games without making a worthwhile contribution but in theory you'd think Ozil would pick him out a lot more and he'd have way more chances on goal. It should be relentless from the pair if it were that simple. Mastermind is off with this one.
