@TheSquidBoyLike Ozil was calming everyone before restarting the game after their goal. He was immense today, in defense as well as offense.

Ozil has been accused of not being a big match player but he actually has a pretty impressive record in major games.

I wish Ozil would put that kind of performances week in week out. Shows exactly what he’s capable of when at his best!

Can’t win over everyone!
Fair play to Ozil, in the 27th minute of extra time and he’s still giving it a full 30%.

If I was Ozil, I’d get my signature on that contract ASAP. Could find his options limited
