The former Manchester United right back Gary Neville has criticised Arsenal’s Mesut Özil for his performance in ‘big’games.
Neville spoke about Arsenal’s record signing in an interview with the Telegraph.
“Just like Di Maria, Özil was pushed out of Madrid and he has since struggled to be the game-changer that I believe a £42m player should be for Arsenal,” Neville told the Telegraph.
“Although Arsenal fans often complain when I highlight Ozil’s shortcomings, my response is that I generally see him in the bigger games against the top opponents and he has not delivered.
“In 22 games against Chelsea, United, City, Liverpool and Tottenham, plus Champions League appearances, he has scored just two goals.”
