Ozil was slaughtered for his role in this Manchester City goal today.
Not content with giving the ball away once – Ozil did it twice in the build up to that goal and then decided to have a rest. Woeful

One tweeter called him the ‘biggest myth in football’.
Ozil the biggest myth in football. Propaganda is a dangerous thing.

Ozil did however, provide his second assist in the Premier League this year and achieved an impressive landmark in the process.

More accusations of Ozil actually being a ghost.
Otamendi, who cost £50m, just gifts Ozil a chance. Luckily for him, Mesut Ozil is now a translucent being without any physical conviction.

Well…
Nice change from Ozil today. Not invisible in a big game, instead deciding to be so bad everyone notices him

Does Ozil deserve the criticism he has been facing? he did provide an important assist in a big game today.
If Ozil watches back his performances when he gets home he might understand more why people are always criticising him

Has Ozil cost Arsenal a top four spot? Arsenal remain in 6th place following the draw against the Citizens but do have games in hand over the teams above them in the league table.
