They didnt replace him.

They play a different football style now than before with Ozil. They won two CLs with one of the runs being as flukey as United's 2011 run to the CL final.

Ideally we dont have to replace either, but Ozil is probably the greatest player we've had since Henry because of how influential he is for everyone. His appreciation of space is the key to a lot of our attacking play. He is the only player I have ever seen create chances without touching the ball, and is doing that intentionally.
