Having just read the above comments I'd agree that Miki just looks average for us and is not looking long term. Also, I believe that teams like Leicester believed they could get a result against us and came to play football, as did Watford and Everton, so they all left openings to exploit, which we have done in the second halfs. Once we come up against teams who are not prepared to attack, our players will need to adapt to breaking these teams down.......a totally different challenge.
We had that yesterday somewhat. They scored their flukey goal and collapsed back into their final third completely.
There was a point before the ozil goal where their formation was 523 but compressed within their final third, let alone their half.
Ozils pass through to bellerin who had timed his run perfectly completely took out their whole team.
They turn to goal to stop the movement, they lose sight of our runners.
Ozils first time finish gave them no time to react at all, and rendered schmiechal irrelevant. It's why he couldn't even step towards the ball because it was so far away from him and so quick he couldn't process and react to it.
All 3 goals were of the highest order but that 3rd goal in particular was the pinnacle.
