Mesut Ozil has 104 goal contributions (G/A) in 200 games for Arsenal. Club started winning trophies since his arrival after long and frustrating drought. Club legend, best player in the squad. Don’t @ me haters.

I respect the fact that @MesutOzil1088 always has time & shows love towards disabled children. It shows to me that his heart is pure gold. 2many people dont understand that kids with special needs feel & understand the slightest touch of kindness & they deserve to smile everyday

Mesut Ozil’s first goal of the season. If you’re not happy when he scores, you don’t love football.

Personally I like Ozil he’s among my top 5 in the EPL but man doesn’t turn up in big games except against Chelsea.

Ozil hater expectation – he shows up once then disappears for months.
Reality – Ozil averages a goal or assist every 2 games. #afc #YaGunnersYa #Arsenal

Ozil bagging a goal and Eriksson dropping a disasterclass on the sand day, there really is a God

Impressive stats! considering the amount of criticism the playmaker of Turkish origin receives for allegedly not scoring or providing enough assists he actually has a pretty good record.

Now that’s original.
Fav if you hate Ozil so I can unfollow you

Ouch!
Eriksen won’t be criticised. Why should he? The best players in the world have massive expectations. People expect Ozil to deliver every time. And he will get criticised even when he has a decent game. I will say this – Eriksen isn’t fit to lace Ozil’s boots.
