‘Keown Hates Ozil’ – Arsenal fans react to Keown blaming star playmaker for Watford defeat
Arsenal suffered a shock 2-1 defeat against Watford on Saturday 14 October.
Gunners star Mesut Ozil did not start the game but he ended up being blamed by Martin Keown for the defeat anyway.
Keown also insisted that Ozil should leave the club by January.
“The top players are ruthless and they don’t play for fun,” Keown said on BT Sport.
“I don’t know if he’s got that ruthlessness in his makeup.
“That ball has got to be in the back of the net. That should be game over, Arsenal have won the game.
“People might think I’m gunning for him, but you’ve got to be clinical in those situations.
“Is he really bothered there? Look at that, he’s just missed a chance to win a game for Arsenal.
“There’s only one outcome here. When it comes to January surely Mesut Ozil will be gone.”
To be fair the Arsenal team did not play well as a collective but Ozil was singled out.
We took a look at how fans reacted to Keown picking on Ozil on social media.

I don’t know what happened between Ozil and Keown but the former Arsenal defender really seems to have it in for him.
Keown has an agenda against Ozil. https://t.co/ifn1illpsQ

Ozil did not even start the game!
On the other side of the coin, not starting Özil cost arsenal the win at watford

Even Ian Wright who has not exactly been Ozil’s biggest fan though Keown was out of line for blaming the playmaker of Turkish origin.
No way @martinkeown5 can you dig out Ozil there brother. Harsh. ?
