This is Ozil at his best, no buts or justifications, just pure undoubted silky smooth class. The guy is like a Rolls Royce.
Oh my god! He did it again!! 😃
"Jaa, Gunners, jaaaa! Second time, man. Yeah!"
Someone please find a vine/video/something of it.
He does a lot of tracking back and defending too, which is too easily forgotten IMO.
He's fast too.
A lot of our players look faster and stronger this year. Credit to the fitness team

That's the big difference. He's actually bossing players physically now.
Defining moment (re the change in him since his return from injury), was him robbing Delph of the ball early in the game in the Villa half.
How the hell did Cazorla walk away with the official MOTM in this game?
ozil took his foot off the gas in the second half. the first half was glorious. effortless movement, technique and anticipation
Actually thought he was better in the second, starting quite a few of our attacks with some sublime passes forward.
See, he can't keep playing like this and not earn the respect and recognition of the entire league.
Glad to see him finally being truly world class. Wonderful game from him.
Early comp vid—editing's not that great.
I'll make a comp tomorrow if CWDavies or some other youtube wizard hasn't already done so. I need to practise a bit video editing anyway.
Sounds great Klaus.
Dunno why that guy has letterboxed it widescreen so aggressively. Rewatching it definitely confirms it was a great performance though. Always looking for the key pass.
Great game from Ozil. Well pleased for him. I reckon he's going to be huge next season.

Difference here being that we had width & movement & he got on the ball early enough to utilise both from inside the opposition half still in the middle 3rd rather than the final 3rd.
I'd say he's the most talented player we've had. Bergkamp runs him very close

Bookmark this guy, mate: https://vimeo.com/imesutozilx8
Always top quality, and never misses a single detail. Vimeo is also better than Youtube as they don't have to cut off half of the picture because of copyright.

The only thing which was bad from Özil was his corners.
Fair to say he is out of his shell now! Great player and great performance yesterday. Great seeing those who continued to put him down have shut their mouths. I'm sure they'll be out in force if his performances dip though, can't admit they were wrong about him....
That's the spirit Jazz......
