He doesn't fit our team or style of play and is way too inconsistent. It holds us back having a no.10 who goes missing time and time again and the thing with Ozil is that he can ONLY play no.10, so Santi and Ramsey get shifted around to accomodate an underforming Ozil who somehow manages to play 90 mins almost every time regardless how bad he is. How is that justifiable?? Ozil's getting played purely because of his reputation and Wenger's hoping, even though Santi is a consistently excellent performer who was brilliant in his best position of no.10 last season.
Santi should be playing no.10, he's better there than Ozil and we're a better team without Ozil but Wenger will continue playing Ozil regardless. I hope I'm proved wrong but I've never been convinced with Ozil, he's a luxury player that we don't need and unbalances the squad. If we was sold we'll get more from Ramsey/Cazorla and Wilshere if he's fit who all sacrifice themselves to be in the same team as Ozil. Ozil doesn't deserve it anymore.
There's those time where everybody disagrees with Wenger and eventually he's proved right but I feel like he's making a huge mistake keeping faith in Ozil, potentially could cost him his job because we can't win the league when the guy we base our game around plays poor games so often. United sold ADM after one season, Wenger might lack that ruthless streak to realise he needs to sell Ozil.
Ozil is a big problem

Ozil's problem are not because of Giroud but this dreadful system we have that suits no one.

I disagree completely. You only have to look at the last two games of last season. In fact we even looked good last week against Chelsea. We are talking about West Ham at home! They just lost to some unknown team in Europe. We should have won easily today. And we resembled the team that was awful last year without Theo. And putting Theo on the wing when we are already 2-0 down and West Ham doesn't count. Really I dunno if Wenger was trying to prove to ppl that we didn't need Benzema. That really went well.

Agreed. I remember during his rosy spell being a bit disappointed because he was scoring as much because that is all people would focus on and forget how great his overall game was. He was so complete that season, covered ground, made interceptions, made tackles etc in fact he led the league in every stat before becoming injured. What I didn't know was that even he would forget all the other aspects of his game that made him so brilliant and just focus on the goals. So infuriating really and I would bench him to buck up his ideas if he isnt listening to the manager. He needs to grow up and tame his HUGE ego.

You completely misunderstood me it seems. We need to press higher up tje pitch and increase the tempo of our attacking play, our tactics require we master transitions but we just suck at that really against any decent defence. We look like Klopp's team when they found his team out last year.

That actually comes out in the wash. Look at the next people on the list. How many of Messi's or Xavi assists were because of the great Barca team or how many of Cesc's assists were because Messi and RVP etc.
You have to look at the number of goals scored by Higuain and Benzema. And a lot of their super records at Madrid were down to Ozil's creation.
The truth is we haven't played with fluidity since RVP. And that should tell you something. And the two games where we scored 4 against WBA and Villa (very similar teams to West Ham) and I would say under greater pressure against VIlla, we played with Theo up front who provided some movement and pace.

Think Wenger was talking balls to defend his team selection which was terrible and aimed at sending a message to all those who want Benzema. And it backfired spectacularly.
