I thought I'd share with you all the outcomes of a conversation I was having with a Goon about Mesut Ozil yesterday. He was banging on about him being World Class and how Arsenal should 'break the bank' to get him tied down to a new deal.
My thoughts on him have been that he's been a huge disappointment since he's been there. I suggested that we compare stats v Eriksen who cost £30m less so we started digging around for his PL goals and assists record since they signed in 2013. Here's what we found....
Ozil
Season/Games/Goals/Assists
13/14 - 26/5/9
14/15 - 22/4/5
15/16 - 35/6/19 (16 of the 19 came between Aug 15 to Dec 15)
16/17 - 33/8/9
17/18 - 26/4/8
18/19 - 24/5/2
Tot - 165/32/52
Eriksen
Season/Games/Goals/Assists
13/14 - 25/7/8
14/15 - 38/10/2
15/16 - 35/6/13
16/17 - 36/8/15
17/18 - 37/10/10
18/19 - 38/8/12
Tot - 209/39/60

After our digging, we found that not only did we establish Eriksen was statistically better, we also established that Ozil was only 'world class' for period of just over 4 months. Nearly half of his assists for Arsenal occurred in that period.
Anyway, I thought I'd share. Source links below.
