Robbored Posted November 1, 2016 Report Share Posted November 1, 2016 It was a very cool finish from a guy not known for finding the net regularly. Durnham is soooooo transparent and I'm amazed that some listeners can't see that he's only doing his job - and doing it well judging from the reactions he gets.

Generally goes missing In fairness he has had goals or (mostly) assists against Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City, Spurs and Manchester United in the last two seasons. He also got an assist against Leicester last year. He also had one of the highest pass completion rates at the world cup in 2014 and one of the highest chances created rates. It is only really in the champs league he has failed with Arsenal.... But Arsenal have generally failed as a whole in the champs league so to single him out seems a bit unfair. Each to their own, but I think he is a great player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeAman08 Posted November 2, 2016 Report Share Posted November 2, 2016 Ozil doesn't have the personality to step up and take the game to an opponent IMO. He's consistently a playmaker and a very good one. I think he's just as good against lesser opposition as he is against bigger clubs. He's just not the type to takeover. Doesn't make him a bad player as there aren't many in the world that can actually do it. Anyway, it was a good goal but I don't get the hype over it.

He's been at the "daily Arsenal" for long it's become the only thing that he'll be remembered for. Might even end up on his gravestone........ Im not sure that he is truly bitter about Arsenal. It's not as if he supports Spurs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patronising someone who has a different opinion to you isn't necessary Guess it depends how you define world class. The way I see it is top 5 in his position in the world. His position is filled with hugely talented players and I can't decide if he is in that top 5. On his day he definitely is, but as you say he seems to go through huge barren periods and then contrasting excellent form with moments of genuine brilliance.

Patronising someone who has a different opinion to you isn't necessary I am going to do something that is very difficult for me, I am going to agree in essence with you (god I feel dirty). The trouble is 'world class' like the word 'legend' are highly abused labels in the modern world of football. World class to me is Christiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez, Gareth Bale and Sergio Aguero, the sort of players that when they actually have an odd mare of a game the football world goes crazy because it's so unusual, unlike Ozil who has 4 average games, 4 less than average games, 4 great games and the odd amazing game. For me the proof is if he was truly world class he would still be at Real Madrid but they obviously believed that they could live without him.
