Mesut Ozil Of Arsenal a Big Game Flop

By Sammy Aniekan for Eddy Educators Sports

Mesut Ozil has been lauded several times this season as the best midfield artiste & enforcer who bosses & dictates play from the midfield with ease but during the weekend when Arsenal took on Chelsea, Ozil was no where to be found as he was missing from the party.

No player has controlled the midfield with the consistency that Ozil has demonstrated in the 2015/2016 football season. He has the highest number of assists in the current season & he has eclipse Fabregas record of assist per game. He splits defenses with ease & calm but against Chelsea on Sunday he was no where to be found. He was on the pitch for the entire duration of the game but it was as if he was sleeping on the pitch as he couldn't really make meaningful contribution or impart through-out the entire period of the game.

In-fact Ozil has never be able to raise his game nor influence any game in which Chelsea is the opponent since he moved to Arsenal. He has always been missing in action when Chelsea is the opponent. If Arsenal FC club are really serious about ending their BPL title drought this season, then Ozil just have to step-up to be the man for the big occasion. Also if Ozil wants to be counted & ranked in the same league as club legends such as Dennis Bergkamp, Patrick Vieira & Thierry Henry he needs to really begins to pull his weight in big games such as this one.
