Premier League Games 19/20/21 October

Maybe. Once had the opportunity to play against a quality player and stuck a leg out and the bloke went absolutely flying. Knew I'd touched him from my own ineptitude, but I also realised then just how quickly they run and how it only takes the slightest touch to send them sprawling.

Oh I know. Shame referees don't realise that. In this case I don't think there was any contact from the defender, it was initiated by the player falling.

One of those that's very hard to call at that speed, and I think anyone with a modicum of experience playing would realise that a booking is a step too far. Fair enough when it is with a keeper and the attacking player chooses to leave a leg in, but in a tangle with defenders it's never clear cut.
 
I've seen Ozil take apart Pep's Barcelona in a Clasico and dominate world cup semi-finals, some of the biggest games you can play in world football.

The whole "he hides in big games" thing is the most boring tired narrative in English football. He's an old school #10. No he isn't going to put in tackles or stick his boot into a midfield battle. That's only a problem if your manager is so clueless they ask him to.

Look at how Mourinho used him. He paired him with 2 solid defensive midfielders, or in games when the midfield was key, he'd put him at the top of a diamond or on the wing. That way, he could stay up the pitch where he could receive the ball and make the killer pass straight away, and he could dip into midfield when he wanted and actually was really effective at stealing the ball to start counters when people weren't expecting him to be coming at them from behind.

Ozil is Arsenal's best or maybe second best player, and the biggest improvement anyone could make to that side would be to get him playing again.
He is the same as Nasri,luxury player ,he is paid by the arses to put a shift in sorry if it's boring
