Premier League: 5 worst players from the weekend

#4 Mesut Ozil

Ozil was just not good enough

No one on the pitch lost the ball as many times as Mesut Ozil in the Chelsea vs. Arsenal fixture. It almost seemed as though Ozil was a holding midfielder who was deployed to play safe and straightforward passes.

There was absolutely no creativity from his side. Apart from feeding the wingers on a handful of occasions, the playmaker had nothing to show. He also killed the pace and tempo of the game. The same was illustrated when he picked the ball up to initiate a counter-attack.

Also to add, he did not work hard enough to provide defensive cover or win the ball back. In the first half, everybody on the field had more touches on the ball than Ozil.
