OPINION
Mesut Ozil does not do himself any favours. The playmaker has barely been in the Arsenal side over the past few months, and even though he has put in a couple of decent performances in recent weeks, he completely fell apart on the big stage in the Gunners’ clash with Manchester United on Sunday afternoon. The German international has been the subject of much speculation and discussion this season, and after getting the nod to start against the Reds, you would have been fair to assume that Unai Emery was saying once and for all that he was willing to put his faith in the pass master. Instead, however, Ozil put in a lacklustre, wasteful display that must have had Emery questioning why he included him in the first place. You get the impression that Ozil’s Arsenal career is hanging by a thread, and after a pretty dire performance that saw him taken off after 75 minutes, it would be no shock if he found himself out of the side again for the Gunners’ next outing. Ozil has so much talent, but something is clearly amiss at the moment, and unless a solution can be found to the ongoing conundrum surrounding his involvement, he will surely be out of there very soon.

Why is Ozil even playing, he's definitely not carrying his weight #ARSMUN

We need to sell Mustafi and Ozil in the summer so badly.
2 of the worst footballers I have ever seen.
They cost £75m plus millions in wages. Awful Arsenal
