Ozil vs Messi

Right who is the better passer Ozil or Messi? Long pass, through balls, short pass, crossess.

Messi of course.

Ozil passing is great, but he lacks experience

Ozil is great but Messi is the best at this too.

They didn't play passes at Schalke and Bremen?

haha wat?

He lacks experience, it's written in plain english.

He lacks the experience level Messi has with his passing. Messi has been playing top level football since he is 19, and his skills developed incredibly fast that way. Not to say that Bremen was crap, but they were no barcelona.

There is also a "passing" culture at barcelona, and being in contact with naturally gifted passers like Xavi, Iniesta or Guardiola is a huge plus. He used to play with the likes of Ronnie and Deco as well back in the days. Messi has the whole passing arsenal covered to a greater extent. He doesnt play a lot of long balls due to his position, but short range, he is class. he plays them through, lofted, bent, and his final balls are nasty. He plays difficult passes in every competition, at different levels, and it matters. Pressure doesnt affect his skill.

Ozil is better on long range, and he will continuously improve his passing. I think playing for top clubs help young talented players grow faster, and he is no exception. He can already play some amazing passing and he will only get better.

I think Messi is a better passer personally.

Messi is better unless he plays frustrated

Messi can pull off some deadly through ball but in term of overall passing, ball distributing and playmaking Mesut is better.

ball distribution and playmaking has more to do with vision and position, and both players dont play the same position at all.

But even then, i think Messi easily matches Messi when it comes to playmaking. He does it incredibly well with Argentina.

Actuall they do play pretty similar positions. Messi drops deep and basically plays an AMC just like ozil and does better. neiter of themn dictate the game. Messi is better than ozil at pretty much everything tbh.

IMO Messi's disadvantage is that he plays in a somewhat worse NT even though he is really great at club level, while Özil can shine in both club and NT.

true, they play similar positions, but their roles are different.

messi is better at everything other than long balls and maybe crossing.honestly though,how is ozil winning this poll?

By Oezil being cuter

Messi is better.He has taken his passing to another level this season.
Ozil is an excellent passer himself but Messi is simply better.

Özils crossing is better. That's it

Messi wins this, he is a top 5 passer nowadays IMO

Who's the girl St Nick of Goal?

Obviously Ozil will win. Anyone is better than Messi at anything.

LOL how is this even a fare you should put Ronaldo and Ozil vs Messi.

TBH I can't detect much difference in skill in terms of passing between Özil and Messi.

Messi is better at pretty much everything else though, so who cares :p

I would put more weight behind a good passer in a counter attacking football team than a good passer in a possession style team.
