On Ozil, saw this fact.. Mesut Özil has the third best minutes per assist rate in Premier League history (min. 10 assists).
That's what we bought him for - not defending
He also covers a lot of KMs in a match - up there with the top runners- some of this is off the ball to create space and passes for the team.
He is there to do a role for the team and he does it. 2 assists again today. Take that any day as long as the rest of the team and structure can accommodate this.

I think a lot of what he does goes very unnoticed compared to the things he doesn't do. Today proved that. However when Arsene puts him on the left wing it exposes our LB. because he doesn't track back. He just isn't good at defending. And fair enough it's not his game. Which is why he should just be stuck behind the striker. I think we're fairly lucky to have him. However totally understand the moaning about him

Thought ozil had a poor game fair enough he got 2 assist I'd still hope we sell him and replace him with a quality player. Mata/gotze/Isco/

Have any of you heard about Picasso digging ground and how good he was on that!? Ozil is best Nr 10. He suppose to do Nr 10 job and nothing else

So are you happy with ozil and his 2 assists which weren't exactly defence splitting 1 from a corner and the other was just a sideward pass
{Ed025's Note - i agree mate..

9/10 would cross ball in the box. He is seeing a bit more then most of the players. In my opinion he is not the one to blame about our situation
{Ed025's Note - your situation?...it looks fine to me melba, top 3 is nothing to be sniffed at mate..

we have enough assist makers now. its time to bring in some lethality in shooting/finishing. I would love a cavani/Martinez type player. I still think wellbeck was the wrong buy for us...he is a utility player a lot like chambers is and I don't think that's what we need. i'm hoping wenger gets a world class CF along with a DM.
{Ed002's Note - I understand that interest remains in Petr Cech but his future remains undecided.}
