“He just doesn’t do enough” – Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard roasts Arsenal star playmaker

Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard has slammed Arsenal playmaker Mesut Ozil live on BT Sport.

Gerrard has called Ozil a liability following Arsenal’s 1-0 defeat at the hands of Stoke City on Saturday.

Stoke won the game via a goal from their new transfer Jese Rodriguez.

Liverpool’s Under 18 coach singled out Ozil during his post-match analysis of the game.

“Arsene Wenger has got to address it as out of possession you’re a man down,” Gerrard stated live on BT Sport.

“He’s left me frustrated – we’ve seen him on his day when he fancies doing both sides of the game he is a world-class talent. 

“I just worry about his reaction and body language – when the ball is turned over he offers his team-mates zero. Away from home he’s a liability – he just doesn’t do enough.

“It’s clear to see that out of possession he doesn’t want to know – he only wants to be on the ball, trying to create and making things happen. 

“But world class players do both – when they lose possession they put a shift in for their team-mates and it was clear that didn’t happen.”

Arsenal remain on three points after two games following Saturday’s defeat. The Gunners take on Gerrard’s former side Liverpool next weekend as they look to return to winning ways.

Ozil has played the full 90 minutes during both of Arsenal’s games this season. The Germany international is yet to register an assist however, he played a key role in Arsenal’s victory last weekend.

The 28-year-old has under 12-months remaining on his contract with Arsenal. Unless the Gunners strike a new deal with Ozil, he could end up leaving for free next summer.
