This changes NOTHING. Mesut Özil needs replacing & our attack needs remodelling if we want success. Since some don't like the eye test, let's crunch some numbers.

No away assist since Jan 2017
4 assists in his last 3,189 PL mins (equates to an assist every 797.25 mins in the PL) https://twitter.com/now_arsenaI/status/1264106834262216706

Key passes decreased drastically since 17/18 in the PL - his last good season ↓↓↓↓

33.81% decrease from 17/18 to 18/19

2.16% decrease from 18/19 to the current season

All sourced via Understat. He won't leave while his contract expires next year but we need better.

There's too many fanboys here instead of those who look at things objectively. Even under Arteta, Özil hasn't been necessarily bad but he's doing the bare minimum. The old Özil does more than JUST the bare minimum for £350k a week. Him & Lacazette need replacing to push on
