The Ozil vs Fabregas debate rages on.
Fabregas has been bossing the game so far, 3. Difference

As does the Ozil vs Coutinho debate – which intensified after the Brazilian found the back of the net against Leicester City today in Hong Kong.
even ignoring the stats, when’s the last time anyone’s seen Ozil dominate a game like Coutinho. Now he’s central we’ll see it even more.

Coutinho isn’t even as good as Cleverly. Don’t compare him to Pogba & Ozil. Thanks

Ozil has also won La Liga and 3 FA Cups, Coutinho has only won a Coppa Italia HAHA

Whenever Arsenal are getting spanked they always resort to comparing Ozil with Coutinho ??? #afcvcfc #LFC

Ozil looked frustrated with Olivier Giroud at times. Could Arsenal find more goals with a better finisher this season? The playmaker has had no trouble

But there were still a few fans who through Ozil had a decent game.
Iwobi, Ozil, Nelson and Willock standouts today. Saw some good things but we need an extra creative player, cant be solely relying on Ozil.
— Leroy (@VoIantesque) July 22, 2017
Still impressed by Nelson and Willock. Ozil was good too. Giroud as well. Iwobi. Everyone else was pretty bad.

I don’t blame Sanchez if he is leaving, him and Ozil are just being abused by mediocracy.

Ok then…
