Yes, but Özil has dropped off and so my expectations of him are lowered.

Messi Neymar and Lewandowski are the only players to produce world class performances consistently for more than a year, even Cristiano has slowed down before his recent resurgence. Guys like Hazard Bale Salah Sterling Suarez or Di Maria have always had hot streaks with dry spells every now and then with minor differences in their duration.
Sure, I agree consistency is the mark of a great player, but Di Maria isn't consistent through a half, let alone a match, or anything as long as a season or a year. He is, however, consistently inconsistent. I can't fault him on that.
