After losing in the midweek against Everton, Arsenal suffered another defeat away from home vs Manchester City yesterday.
The Gunners now find themselves nine points behind league leaders Chelsea and may forget about winning the PL title for another season.
The North Londoners started the game brightly, scored an early goal and went into the break leading 1-0. However, they were terrible in the second half.
In the second forty five minutes, Arsene Wernger’s men only had two touches in the Man City box. Record signing Mesut Ozil was average against the Toffees on Tuesday night and the German performed even worse against the Sky Blues.
The Arsenal playmaker has been criticized for not showing up against big team in the past as well.
Yesterday, he was not ready to fight for the Gunners. City were leading 2-1 and the former Real Madrid star was seen walking with twenty minutes left in the game as if he had already given up.
Arsenal fans were furious with Ozil’s performance and destroyed him on social media.
Here are a few tweets:

Wenger is also guttless to bench him he is never on the pitch with big games it’s arsenal playing nine men on the pitch usesless kraut
Is lazy Ozil god that he can not be dropped? Why can’t Wenger learn his lesson for once. Most of our players are average who bring nothing much to the team. Is Joel Campbell not better than wasteful Ox? Is Theo, Ox better than Perez? Why not
go for Draxler who will be available for £25-£30m in January, rather than pitch your tent with bunch of average lazy, wasteful football comedians you called players. It hurts me to say this, but that’s the true. Wenger, you have lost the plot. Man City were not with some of there first team players yet Arsenal lost to them. Its a pity, our players should bury there heads in shame. If all our players have the same zeals Alexis Sanchez has, believe you me, Arsenal would be a club to reckon with.
