‘He was embarrassing, Rubbish performance’ – Fans are bashing this Arsenal star after his display in Man City defeat
Several Arsenal fans took to Twitter to express their frustration yet again after another forgettable result on Sunday.
The Gunners have attracted serious criticism for much of this season and therefore Sunday was seen as an opportunity to prove a few doubters wrong by securing some piece of silverware.
Arsenal went into the clash with Manchester City as huge underdogs, especially after the surprising 2-1 defeat to Ostersund in the Europa League on Thursday.
And despite a relatively encouraging start to the game, the Gunners were thrashed 3-0 by Pep Guardiola’s side who were keen to win their first trophy of the season.
Featuring in the match at Wembley stadium was Mesut Ozil, a man now shouldering the responsibility of being Arsenal’s talisman following the departure of Alexis Sanchez last month.
The Germany international certainly had a day to forget against a dominant Manchester City midfield.
And with Ozil now earning astronomical sums at the club, the fans did not hesitate to question his performance on social media…

Mesut Ozil completely absent today. 27 touches of the ball so far (68 mins). Only 5 more than Monreal, who went off after 26 mins

Ozil needs to step up. Whether the system around him is prefect or not, he is the guy getting paid the big bucks. It is for these occasions. He already under-hit the easy square pass to Auba
