Another defeat for Arsenal, another game where Mesut ?zil has let his team down.

If anything, the German epitomises Arsenal’s recent struggles completely. When things are going well he is a brilliant, stylish, classy – a real asset to his team. But when things are going wrong he offers no bite, no passion, nothing.

That’s what happened against Manchester City. When Arsenal needed a big team effort, Özil hid. It’s not all about talent.
