da cassino online: Before the start of the campaign, Mesut Ozil seemingly went down as a polarizing character in the Premier League.
da realbet: Some just couldn’t get enough of the German’s composed exploits on the ball, whilst others felt the right to criticise the former Real Madrid and Werder Bremen man whenever he went missing during games.
However, now that the 27-year-old attacking midfielder has maintained a decent run in the Arsenal starting XI, free from injury and in very strong form, it is becoming harder and harder for any stubborn anti-Ozil voice to find meaningful fault with the no. 11’s performances.
With almost half the current season already decided at this particular stage in the proceedings, does the 2014 World Cup winner still have it all to do in the Premier League, or has Mesut Ozil finally proved the majority of his English doubters wrong?

Whilst the former Bundesliga favourite did infact take a little time to adjust to the nature of the Premier League, even the most ardently opposed football supporter would have to acknowledge the level of quality being produced by Ozil this season.
With five goals scored in all competitions – and an impressive 16 assists to match – the in-form Arsenal midfielder certainly seems to be enjoying his football at the minute.
Arsene Wenger’s side are well placed right at the very top of the league table of course, and barring the minor miracles being conducted down at the King Power Stadium this year, arguably represent the most impressive team this season.
Arsenal’s recent form has therefore coincided with Ozil’s sustained presence within the starting XI, and the resulting success ultimately hasn’t been much of a surprise. With both he and Alexis Sanchez fully fit and firing on all cylinders for Arsene Wenger, the Emirates faithful truly pay witness to some genuine world class talent at their club.
Via his unreal composure in the most pressured situations, almost unrivalled intelligence with the ball at his feet, and sheer prowess when finding his teammates all across the pitch, Mesut Ozil is clearly one of the best players in the world at what he does.
Yet, as the calm German international looked somewhat out of place when he first joined up with Arsenal in 2013, due to the unquestionably intensified physical requirements of the English game, it seemed as if Arsenal could have potentially wasted a great deal of money in signing the talented midfielder in the first place.

For all the technical wonder he expressed for Germany and Real Madrid in the past, Ozil’s composed nature on the ball seemingly painted him out as ‘too relaxed’ at times for the Gunners. It seemed as if he was somewhat disinterested in putting in a fair shift when the going got tough, leaving certain question-marks surrounding Ozil’s overall fight and desire in the English top-flight.
However, as the ex-Bernabeu star has since developed the aforementioned areas of his game a great deal this term, Ozil is now rightfully shining as the world class asset he represents. He possesses the ability to make the game look all too easy at times, and as we are not overly familiar with such a notion from the majority of English players in the Premier League – English fans subsequently took a little while to become accustomed to a player of Ozil’s undoubted style.
So, if Arsenal do infact go on to claim some further silverware come the end of the season, the exploits of Mesut Ozil will ultimately have contributed greatly to any upcoming success down at the Emirates this season.
Yes, he may very well fail to represent the most determined and passionate character the Premier League has ever seen, but when it comes to doing the business for his side inside the final third time and time again, very few have actually managed to replicate the stylishly affective approach readily expressed by Mesut Ozil so far this season.
