3 Things We Learned From Arsenal’s Heart Breaking Defeat vs Manchester City

2. Mesut Ozil is a big game flop (At-least till now)

Playing man of the match games against Cardiff City and Stoke City gave Arsenal hope that they may have filled the void left by Samir Nasri. This may be true in most part, but in the games against Napoli, Manchester United, Borussia Dortmund and now Manchester City, he has been invisible and completely ineffective. Of course it isn’t his fault that Lukas Podolski and Santi Cazorla are injured so cannot shoulder some of the creative burden, while Olivier Giroud isn’t good enough for a club of Arsenal’s stature. But that cannot be an excuse, Arsenal paid over£42m for the German, and he should play like a big money signing all of the time, not just when he feels like it.
