Shame Ozul couldn't start. His industry and creativity may have made a difference.

This young black lad Willy is putting Ozil to shame despite only being on 10 mins.

This young black lad Willy is putting Ozil to shame despite only being on 10 mins.

He hasn’t exactly been bad, but you would have thought that a no. 10 on 350k a week with Laca and Boomerang in front of him would have done a bit more.

Mind you, with AMN and Kolasinac playing like utter donkeys and Xhaka treading water it’s maybe not that surprising. He can’t lift everyone, he just isn’t that sort of player.

When Ozil was at his best with all those assists they tended to mostly come from free kicks on the right wing about 44 yards out where he crossed them onto Giroud's head. The Ozil fanatics like to make out he was dominating games and cutting defences apart week in week out rather than being a Steve Guppy on £350k a week.
