Is it just a case of Ozil’s style of football not being appreciated in England? Or should he be working harder than he does?
Ozil could score a hattrick against RM and cure cancer in the same week but 60 yrd Ian from Oldham doesn’t rate him because he doesn’t press

Ozil is accused of ghosting in big games but you could accuse every ten in England, except Coutinho, of doing that, Ozil is the best

To be fair he worked pretty hard against Leicester City as this fan pointed out.

The big question is will be go or will he stay. Ozil will have just 12 month remaining on his contract at the end of the season.
The Germany international of Turkish origin and his coach Arsene Wenger are both remaining coy on his future.
AW asked if club has sat down with him, Ozil & Alexis re contracts: “That’s a question I would not like to answer tonight”.

Who would you prefer? ?

Is Ozil paid too much for what he is delivering?
While Ozil and Sanchez push for £250,000 a week, Christian Eriksen signed a four-year deal for £70,000 a week last September. Witchcraft.

Social media can be an odd place at times.
TL praising Xhaka/Ozil and criticising Coquelin/Alexis, seems like a normal game on Arsenal Twitter
