@polaknuar, I've watched all Ozil's games, and I can confidently say that he is terribly inconsistent. Not as much as Angel "5 minutes fantastic, 5 minutes bollocks" DiMaria but still doesn't bring his A-game to every match. But oh boy when he does he is an absolute joy to watch, the complete creative midfielder with the best vision you can ask for. Though one main problem I have with Ozil is that he tires more games than not at the 70+ minute mark and becomes a liability on and off the ball, mis-controlling every touch and mis-hitting simple passes. This season has been a poor one by his standards though and I don't think I've seen him be as bad as he was in the first half of the season (though to be fair every Real player not named Cristiano wasn't up to speed). I thought he had a decent if unspectacular game against United.

Kagawa's role at United is still not fixed. I don't know why people are creating such a fuss. He is absolute quality and he will come good, quality always does. I just wish he is played in a bit deeper spot until he gets used to the rigours of the English game. Being deeper will allow him more time on the ball and time to build his composure in our game. He has the capabilities to replace Scholes at United to a certain extent, and the way he tackles is really good to see, he rarely gives up any fouls because he swipes the area in front of the player where the ball will be in some time to dispossess the opponent, doesn't aim at the players legs. Technically fantastic player.

Kagawa is a good "Plan B" when Rooney is injured or acting up. He gives United a different look. I don't think Kagawa will ever be the star man at United simply because it's Rooney's team but Kagawa can help United have a bit of a different approach which I think has held them back for years in Europe. I think some people on here don't have a clue what a talent Kagawa actually is. He's won 3 titles in the last 3 years. You don't do that by being some "passenger". Some people will also forget that Gotze was injured almost all of last season and Nuri Sahin had left for Madrid. Kagawa and Lewandowski were the stars of Dortmund's team last year. United have a brilliant little play maker in Kagawa. Anyone doubting him will be proven wrong over time.

@boldylox> United tried for Ozil, however he decided to go to Madrid. You sound like Bobby Mancini pretending you can get anyone you want, like the players don't have a say in the matter. As for Cazorla, he is the most overrated player right now (he just started the season brilliantly and has subsequently faded and so has Arsenal)

On one hand we have SAF, a coach who has understands football and has won everything there is to win and whose team is top of the league and fighting for three trophies saying Kagawa has been good but needs time to adapt and will be great, on the other side we have a keyboard warrior "boldylox" who says Kagawa is a passenger.

I wonder which of these two's opinion would be correct.

@beijingisred> This "shirt seller" BS that people come out with seriously grind by gears. Kagawa would sell shirts only in Japan, not in Asia. Your name is "beijing, so I am assuming your from China or in China....please take a look around and let me know how many Chinese kids are wearing Kagawa shirts (I'd reckon not many, most would have Rooney, RVP, Vidic).

And given the success of Ji Sung Park and the fact that he was a big game player its insane that people still pretend he was a shirt seller. Park was an integral part of multiple championship teams and SAFs go to player in big games.

Well It will be fair to say Kagawa made some brilliant runs behind Madrid'd back four, But either due to his heavy touches or lack of pace he couldn't capitalize on them, I mean if he had those runs completed and could have hit the target, Irrespective of the result that would have boosted the overall tempo of United's game, But with the time passed he simply disappeared, due to United being pushed back and he didn't keep the ball well enough as he normally does, Hope to see him back to his best soon.....
