World Cup 2018: 5 players who should be dropped by Germany

#4 Mesut Ozil

Ozil deserves to be dropped after an awful tournament

Mesut Ozil was a shadow of a player he once was. He was one of the heroes for Germany in their 2014 World Cup triumph but turned a villain in Russia.

He started the game against Mexico but was marked out by Guardado during the most part of the first half. He dropped deeper to dictate play and was rarely seen in the opponent's box. He roamed all over the pitch but was little slow and Mexico players dealt him with ease.

Though he was dropped for the game against Sweden, he was brought back for the key game against South Korea. Once again he was deployed in the no.10 role but Ozil did nothing for the second time in the tournament. It was another poor performance from the Arsenal star.

Mesut Ozil was dispossessed on far too many occasions in the World Cup and his passing was wayward on occasions.
