Kevin de Bruyne can't put a foot wrong for Manchester City at the moment while everything is Mesut Ozil's fault at Arsenal, but do these numbers prove the Gunners faithful need to cut their playmaker some slack?
Both players have already created 30 goal-scoring chances in the Premier League this season, despite Ozil having spent 273 minutes less on the pitch.
The problem for the German is, however, that his teammates are less efficient in front of goal. He has 2 assists compared to De Bruyne's 6.
Everywhere else on the attacking front, Arsenal's man stacks up well. Take a look at the numbers here:
Minutes played: Ozil 568 mins, De Bruyne 841 mins
Goals: Ozil 1, De Bruyne 1
Shot conversion: Ozil 8.33%, De Bruyne 4.55%
Pass accuracy: Ozil 86.3%, De Bruyne 86%
It's in defense where the Belgian proves his worth. De Bruyne has made 10 more tackles, 3 more interceptions and 36 more recoveries than Ozil, proving he is more of an all-rounder on the field of play.
