Well thats a load of old cobblers !! Flat track bully ? Lets see. I just looked at the breakdown of all of Ozil's league goals and assists and split them between the so-called top 6 (Man U, Man City, Liverpool, Spurs, Chelsea) and the rest of the league. the breakdown is as follows:
Goals/assists v top 6 - 16.
Goals/assists v rest - 70.
Doing some basic maths, 10 games are played against so-called top 6 teams in a season (26% of games) and 28 against the rest (74% of games)
Ozil has therefore scored or assisted 19% against top 6 sides and 81% against the rest. Considering it should be harder to score against top 6 sides it is clear that Ozil's numbers are almost spot on for what you would expect. A flat track bully would surely have his numbers skewed far more than they are.
For a comparison I'll do Eden Hazard and David Silva.
