1) he’s not clamouring for Ozil, he’s saying he can be useful in the squad.
2) he’s not specifically said that he should’ve played against Pool, City etc and others in this thread have explicitly said those are no longer games for Mesut because we aren’t good enough to play on the front foot.
3) he was never left out by Wenger. It was only when Emery came in he has some inexplicable issue with Ozil yet resorted to using him everytime he needed a result.
4) Aubameyang and Lacazette also featured in Baku...what the f**k did they do? Apologies if I missed it because I was blind drunk by half time but pretty sure they did nothing.
5) China isn’t the main reason that’s been mentioned from what I saw, the difference came during lockdown.
Agree the stats have been poor and his performances have been average at best over the last 2 years. Again, nobody is really pretending otherwise, however, would say the circumstances haven’t lent themselves to getting the best out of him with being in and out of the team and clearly not very happy. He had a chance to do more in that 10 game spell under Arteta, and he was disappointing overall, but that wasn’t enough to cause the sudden exclusion that happened post lockdown and has us where we are now.
It’s just a ridiculous situation that the club are exacerbating and what you call ‘clamouring’ is more looking for a clear f***ing answer as to why our most expensive player, part paid for by us poor fans, is being completely left out. It’s not a problem, we are winning and he is leaving in the summer at the latest..nobody will give a f**k once he leaves and nobody wants him to extend..but, while he’s here, either give us a clear statement or try and use the guy in some games where we can afford more luxury.
Sure I’ll just get labelled some Ozil lover (despite changing my GW name about 2 years ago when I’d had enough of him) and be told to grow up and live with it, trust arteta n all that but hey, bring it on f***ers. Not just gonna read this tripe slagging him non stop, he has his flaws, he has dropped off and we are winning without him. I get it, I also get we can give youngsters minutes who will help towards our future but then I think the board should’ve sacked him on the spot as soon as they decided he’s no longer of any use.
This club is lucky it’s winning at the moment because the feel good factor on the pitch is covering up all their off-field bullshit antics.
HH is though.
HH was saying People saying he isn't getting play time because of the whole China thing forget he played 10+ games after it
I just pointed out Oezil stats from last season, is that a stat for 350k/week and he started 90% of those, in Baku he was subbed off by 60mins same as his last world cup appearance, HH needs to accept that he's finished bro.
I haven't been Ozil's biggest fan since Baku
Auba made up for it in the Fa cup final. He is forgiven
.
Mikel wants a TEAM of players who all work hard for each other. Wenger must let Arteta run things his way please after the mess he left the club in.
When Emery benched him at the 70th min against Chelsea in the 2nd game of his 1st season, all the media and fans had greeted Unai Emery for having dared to get out Ozil that Wenger dared not do, this player just believed himself
He had it easy during Wenger days, him being a Wenger boy
Arteta is very pragmatic. If a player behaves and does what is told to do on and off the pitch professionally, he'll back you up with a clean slate
I think the issue is also Meust ego and openness to accept new ways that he might not care about and if that's the case, no one is bigger than the club. You've got to do what you manager asks of you.
Since he was dropped by Arteta and we changed formation, we have had a decent defensive record and a good record against top teams
We have also won silverware. Özil isn't needed.
Y'all that are saying I have an Özil agenda. I defended the guy on here until the Baku disasterclass
I can list a number of players that wanted to stay but their club didn't. Why is it different with Özil?
For example, that it doesn't matter how much you make, if you don't perform, don't here to the rules then you are out. Even if you are Mesüt Özil. I'm a fan of the club not Özil FC thing , if he doesn't do what Arteta wants from him, he wont play. Simple as that.
HH can jump one point to another, because he keep bringing up new points, that are just not true. But the fact is, Oezil game performances have dropped since signing the new contract. Maybe he can't do the things Artete wants, hence he can't play.
Once again, Arteta is the manager and he decides who plays and who doesn't. And if Özil doesn't do anything apart from slowing the tempo, playing 3 key passes a game and not take shots he has no place. I trust Arteta more, than Özil's faded memory. If Özil wanted to go...
He could have left, but for reasons he did not leave. He could have taken a paycut if he wanted to play that much somewhere else.
