Silva or Ozil

[jollylescott]

We can decide after tonight. Özil was anonymous last night. Didn't realise he was on the pitch for the first quarter and then he was clearly a Dortmund spy.

Agreed. Marvellous disappearing act by Ozil last night.

I confess to being biased. I wouldn't swap Merlin for anyone in the League.

I think this feeling that Ozil is 'fast' is because he outpaced barry with ease in the WC., tho a skip could do the same.

I think some people forget just how good David Silva is.

Two gifs I've never seen but we're in my humble opinion two of his finest assists (but weren't in high profile games), Inter Milan preseason to Dzeko, after which some journalist wrote that no matter how good anyone else was this season, it would be Silvas year (the first half was at least). Second was to Aguero against Wigan at home. He had two or three players on him, someone comes in to tackle him and he rolls it back, flicks it up off his shin, hops over the guy and plays an inch perfect through ball which Kun slots in the corner. Beautiful.

Just so im not going crazy that 2nd one sounds alot like the ball he played to Milner against Everton in the 11/12 season

Silva is better than ozil when both are at there best.....SIMPLE!!!!!!
2nite again he was unplayable, even on that awful pitch!! He got another assist & was involved in the 2nd with a nice little short pass thru a few defenders to Negredo........


1 word............. MAGICIAN!!!!!!

 

[baildon blue]

Silva was very good again tonight . This guy will go down as a proper legend at City . Ozil is a very good player

 

[Balti]

Ozil seems decent but he plays for arsenil and is therefore shit

Merlin is a City Legend

They were very similar assists to be fair.

Ozil is a brilliant player..But he is in his honeymoon period(I hope). Like Hazard at the beginning of last year(didn't he get like 9 assists in the first 5 games?)

Ozil has more assists than anyone in Europe's top 5 leagues over the past five seasons. That's one hell of a honeymoon.

Arsenal honeymoon period..He's playing well, Arsenal are playing well. He won't be top after a few seasons in the premier league, when he is trying to set up Giroud rather than Ronaldo

 

[citymad]

No one will change my mind that Silva on his day is arguably the best player in the world. He's Merlin for goodness sake. Love him to death.

Surely there's less competition in creativity at Arsenal?

This idea that Ozil has 60+ more assists than Silva in the same number of games just because of Ronaldo is ludicrous.

Silva has had Villa, Aguero, Tevez to set up and has done it nowhere near as regularly as Ozil.

I love our magician but the numbers speak for themselves.

 

[Le Havre Oswald]

But ronaldo is in a league of his own.

Ozil had to compete to get those assists with better players than Silva has.

 

[DTKOAG]

The mail gave Silva 6/10 for last nights game. Unbelievable

Easily a 9. Him and agueros ability stood out a mile last night.

I never said it was JUST because of Ronaldo..

SIlva has had those players, but he has played in lesser teams against harder opposition than Madrid face on a weekly basis.
