3. Mesut Ozil is still struggling to produce his best against the top teams
There’s little doubt that the German’s arrival at Arsenal has lifted the entire squad and Ozil’s return of five goals and nine assists underlines his contribution. But Arsene Wenger did not break the bank – and his principles – for another good player and the Frenchman will expect Ozil to dominate the big games in the future.
After anonymous performances against Manchester United and Borussia Dortmund, Ozil was again quiet on Monday. Wenger has no cause for concern yet but the Gunners boss will expect his star man to begin to influence the biggest stages once he has fully adapted to life in England.
