Exactly, whole team plays shit, lets blame the highest paid player.
He actually wasn't as bad as others.
damnation by faint praise... a tried and true ozil defense
Not so much a defense, as it is just calling out hypocrites for always pointing fingers at Ozil instead of the players that actually played worse, or who were more responsible for the loss than him. If the rest of the team played well and he was the Achilles heal in the game, then by all means call him out. But it gets a bit embarrassing and knee jerk that when the team plays bad, we have to see these little whiny kids come to his thread and blame him. Win as a team, lose as a team.
