One Arsenal fan has used stats to compare Mesut Ozil and David Silva and thinks he's proved that the Gunners' midfielder is better than the Manchester City man.
David Silva's announcement last week that he would be leaving England next summer, after 10 years in the league, left many heralding him as one of the best players in the Premier League era.
One Arsenal fan though thinks that the plaudits going to Silva should instead be going to Mesut Ozil. The German was once lauded for the Gunners but has become much maligned in recent years.

The fan though took to Twitter to 'prove' that Ozil is the better man:
Fair play to the fan, he's certainly put a lot of effort into comparing the two players according to their stats.

However the criticism of Ozil is about his recent seasons rather than an overall picture of a player who on his day is obviously brilliant.
The problem is his day was too long ago and he has often gone missing in the biggest games for Arsenal, whilst becoming the club's top earner.
Comparing the pair on stats alone is all well and good but the argument clearly stretches beyond what the computer tells you.
