Ozil wasn't electric today as it was a pretty end to end game however he's a live threat every time we go forward and that threat makes teams have to rush back to deal with his carving passes which release other players to do damage.
A few times he got "offside" and if he got through it could of led to something, he makes our attacks have substance because unlike players like AMN or Iwobi who get forward but don't have the end product, Ozil does have that, which causes stress on our opponents every time we have a decent attack.
It was us having our capable players out on the field which caused Utd to not run rampant, same thing in the 2nd half when Utd were really trying to push, we sent on Suarez and Iwobi to pin them back with pace and that's when Utd just quit.
He's an essential part of our offence and that's that and on his day he's nigh WC, he's the top player we have and are paying for, we'd be stupid to try and oust him rather than use his talents.
