Arsenal superstar Mesut Ozil is apparently back in the mixer after his iffy first game against Mexico. Mr Löw said this of the German’s reaction.
“After the match against Sweden, Ozil showed a great reaction in training, as I expected from all who didn’t play,”
He’ll start the game against Korea as Germany chase qualification in a tournament they’ve certainly stuttered in so far. Good for you Mesut, I hope you make 6 assists.
Argentina made it through to the next round beating out Nigeria late on. It looked like Maradona had dropped an 8 ball of something special up in the crowds, there are rumours he’d been hospitalised after the game. The man must have some tolerance at his age, he must have a few bag men to get the fucked up during a game.
Ever Banega had Arsenal fans panties all up in a twist as he ‘liberated’ Messi (perhaps he hospitalised Maradona?)… he even popped up with an assist. That’s what I call World Cup window dressing. I’d take him, he’s experienced, he’s fiery and he has levels to the class in his game. If Arsenal are shooting for top 4 next season, we need to bulk out with experience. I’m just not sure I’d be happy paying £17m for him.
In other news, Kike Marin, the Spanish Ornstein, reckons we’re going for Lucas Vazquez of Real Madrid. It seems we’re keen on a wide man, and according to reports, we’ve made a decent financial offer for the player. These sorts of rumours usually happen when the client is looking for assurances. The Spanish wide man bagged 7 assists and 4 goals from 16 starts, which gets makes me damper than Wayne Rooney’s back on a Mega Bus trip. At 26, he’s at the right age, he’s never going to be more than a squad player for Madrid, so it’d be a good move for him.
Great to read that we’re going hard at signing in some additional attacking players. I’ve been wondering if the lack of sales is to do with the coach waiting to see him players in the flesh? Will there be a late July fire sale after a week? Or did the club do it’s big shifts in January?
All very interesting. I’m tapping out, lots of work to do. See you in the comments.

“Mexico going home, you just know the Germans will pull it off.”
Nein! Nein! Nein!
Mexico! Mexico!
Deserved!!!!
Germany is aus!!
wow
I see the arsenal /özil hate is continuing on this Arsenal blog..
I think you think you will find that özil will have created at least 6 chances in the 2nd half alone that his team mates have failed to take…..
Deutschland ist aus!!
Low was rather smug when he explained why he dropped Leroy Sane.
And that’s why you have VAR. Brilliant stuff here
Delighted to be wrong Ishola !
Lmao,
Germany out
Germany Out
Mexico survive.
VAR is the winner of this WC.
they are going to crash out bottom of the group as things stand
They can’t even get a cross in.
Very bizarre from them.
So Ozil is really the jinx here
Well what’dya know ehh
Auf Wiedersehen Ozil and Co.
Holy shit.
Yay Ozil is fresh for the start of this upcoming season for Arsenal.
loooolz
Time for self gloating
I was right on two counts – Lowe is overrated and that his decision to leave Sane was idiotic.
wow! Low has royally screwed up.
SK win was priced at 15/1 before match.
Hope someone got in there.
Lmao Germany out. To be frank, Sane would have brightened
this team up a bit
I was right on two counts – Lowe is overrated and that his decision to leave Sane was idiotic.”
Sane wouldn’t have made one bit of difference.
NEUER Always rushing out to get a goal is bound to be a disaster at some point
Let’s not be beastly to the Gurmans.
Their Bach and Beethoven are rather fine.
I think you think you will find that özil will have created at least 6 chances in the 2nd half alone that his team mates have failed to take…..
Fuck off honestly. You talk absolute bollox
Well done South Korea!!
Suck on that Little Rocket Man
Pierre with the chances created stat. Right on cue
Bamford had Germany as the favorite to lift the world cup. Good that he has taken a self imposed exile from LG 🙂
Now they are just embarrassing themselves
They came here hoping to intimidate on names alone. Leroy Sane with his dynamism and direct running would have at least troubled full backs ..the decision was daft
Muller has no business being here…he was poor for Bayern all season , a truly limited footballer
Brandt should have started their last two games
France, Italy, Spain and now Germany…royal arse fuck after winning world cup
Holders curse continues.
4th World Cup out of the last 5 that the Holders have been dumped out in the groups, think all 4 finished bottom of group too!
Poland watch out, first time since 1938 that Germany are out in the group stages
Sane wouldn’t have made one bit of difference.
False
Pierre
I’m actually in agreement with you that the club should sell Ramsey, rather than put him on mega wages, especially if we can get £50M or more for him.
But for you to not see that Ozil is a clown fuckin footballer is part of what makes you the biggest cunt in the room.
Muller has been gash, shouldn’t even be starting, but oh well, reputation based on past
Haha Bamford had Germany as winners didn’t he?
If they had Brandt and Sane out wide they would have looked far more threatening.
The problem they have is players like Muller, Ozil and Khedira need to be got rid of.
A German team that can’t break down South Korea has far more issues than 1 player being missing.
Last in the group.
lol
They’ll get dragged over the coals for this. Deservedly.
Ozil come home to start training now foo
As I said, the arsenal /özil haters are out in force.
Next up it will be the arsenal /xhaka haters out in force.
When you think that Arteta and Low at one point were favourites for the Arsenal job, day by day I become more happy with Emery
pretty sure that was Ozil last game for germany
Germany so poor – dropping Sane looks so daft now Even Reus was bad , Ozil needed this kick on backside -.hope he fares better for us
Low totally to blame. He’s been found out. To not bring the most in form German player and the only one who actually takes on players in Sane was a terrible decision. To bring Brandt instead and barely use him and when he is used he actually looked decent is shocking by Low. Must be sacked straight away.
Bam come back please.
All we need now is for Neymar to light up the rest of the WC and Bamford’s ‘impeccable footballing knowledge’ under serious threat.
what a world cup today. total nail biter wow
Ozil bent my club over a barrel in a time of desperation and piggybacked off of a pathetic manager to get himself a total undeserved £350 000 to then literally call in sick half the time and then no show even when officially his name was on the team sheet.
Of course I hate him.
Zfree
“But for you to not see that Ozil is a clown fuckin footballer is part of what makes you the biggest cunt in the room.”
Do you support Arsenal..
Give Ozil a two week break then he reports back to preseason to begin the task of re-learning what it means to be a top flight football
Give it till December and if this timidity and gloom he tends to carry around does not disappear try shipping him off to China
The man is a talent but where we are now we need fighters and leaders
Ozil gonna be even more miserable (if thats possible). Thats his start of season break excuse out the window..
Germany were dreadful in this Tournament. This is not down to one player, but
an overall collective performance.
Frankly I think that the German Federation and Bundesliga need to take a look at the current set up of their game. The overall dominance of Bayern Munich does not help the competitiveness of their current league.
Yeah cause calling Ozil a wimpy and impotent little fairy correlates with hating Arsenal…
Ces Appeal on özil
“Of course I hate him.”
Are you an Arsenal supporter
Wenger eagle
“Holders curse continues.”
That’s an overly simplistic explanation though.
Champions have to qualify like everyone else so they haven’t lost their competitive edge.
Lowe just went too conservatives and took all his oldies.
Receding
I don’t think Ozil has the spine to leave, he will quite happily sit on the bench and earn £350 000 a week doing nothing. I don’t think he will play for Germany again so he doesn’t have to worry about that.
I really think he is one of the most pathetic football players I’ve ever seen.
He’s more interested in celebrity now anyway, I don’t see how we get rid of him to be honest?
Well done SK !! That’s made my day !!
They had no one who takes on players runs at defenders instead so many players who pass sideways always showing for the ball instead of making runs. Should have brought Sane
Wasn’t to be taken literally Dissenter.
Are we not allowed to call out dodgy footballers just because they wear an Arsenal shirt?
Bit childish.
In fact the wimp that is Ozil will be less destructive to the side in the end then the man-child footballer known as Xjaka
“Ozil bent my club over a barrel in a time of desperation and piggybacked off of a pathetic manager to get himself a total undeserved £350 000 to then literally call in sick half the time and then no show even when officially his name was on the team sheet.Of course I hate him.”” Not true We had a choice ..let him walk for free. He did not hold a gun to anyone’s head asking for big wages….big wages is nothing new in football so don’t know why his seems to be an issue. And if we walked for free… Read more »
Pierre I like how you conveniently leave out the bit above. Yeah, I fucking detest a gutless little worm who conned my club out of £350 000 knowing a pathetic, past it manager was on his last legs and that he needed to strike now, knowing that no other club in Europe worth its salt wanted him, to then call in sick for half the remaining games and no show in the games that actually mattered padding his stats and giving little wimps like you ammunition against utter shite at home to say ‘that’s the real Ozil,’ you’re fucking right… Read more »
Also great that the campaigner Manuel Neur ‘s last act as national team keeper was that shit show of an effort to cost them another goal.
That helps get the image of his smug face out of my head after Bayern drew us in the CL.
When I see Ozil these days, all I perceive is that Wenger stench.
That’s the synesthesia Arsenal fans have to endure till the Wenger-after baggage is cleared out.
To think Wenger used to call Ozil “PERFECT”?
“People are very harsh with Özil because he’s a player who’s always very easy on his play but when you watch the game again after, the next day, you see what a player he is. Everything he does is intelligent. The timing of everything he does is absolutely perfect. You never catch him giving the ball too late”
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/arsenal/11064914/Everything-Mesut-Ozil-does-for-Arsenal-is-absolutely-perfect-says-Arsene-Wenger.html
‘Are we not allowed to call out dodgy footballers just because they wear an Arsenal shirt?

Not childish, Ishola, that’s what it means to be an Arsenal fan. If twats like that had their way Wenger would still be manager because the stadium would have been full every week and not a word in protest against him would have been said.
They’ve been wrong for years, its laughable they still speak as if they have any credibility at all.
Do you support Arsenal..
You can support Arsenal without supporting Ozil you do know that. Do you actually know that? I don’t think you do
Cesc Agreed with your assessment of Nozil. He milked the Sanchez situation for his gain… He knew that no other team would pay 350K, and knowing our dire situation had his agent negotiate for a crazy amount since Sanchez was not there to take part of that money. We did capitulate given that we were desperate to break into CL- via the Europa league, and Wenger gave Ozil pretty much carte blanche to not play any games, to rest him for the ECL tie with Athletico. How this backfired on us. Ozil needs a new PR team. He has the… Read more »

We were better off letting Ozil walk for free. I said that in January.
It was bad enough letting him run his contract but we compounded the error multiple fold by making him the league’s second highest paid player.
You don’t built a team around lackadaisical and lazy players. No Europa league team should pay that much wages for any player.
I absolutely love VAR. Finally right decision are being made.
CA, marko, qna, Gambon and the rest.
Next on the list to hate and give your anti arsenal comments is xhaka.
It makes me think that the Arsenal hate on here had nothing to do with Wenger at all…. He’s gone but the bullshit just goes on and on.
We all remember the ‘if you call out Wenger you’re not a supporter’ lot, the same lot defending Ozil now. Look what calling out Wenger and displaying dissatisfaction achieved. It is mind boggling that supposedly grown men think being a fan of a football club means saying basically ‘my dad is stronger than your dad’ like a child despite the fact your dad if 5ft 4 and looks as if he could get blown over by anything over than a gentle breeze. Ozil is pathetic and a coward, not likeable traits in anybody but particularly someone someone earning the wages… Read more »
Players brought on reputation and not any semblance of form is what cost Germany so yes players like Ozil have in fact cost Germany. I’d argue that Germany’s best player in the whole of the world cup has been Sule that’s how bad they’ve been. And he only got picked because Boateng was sent off and Rudiger was so error prone the last game
Ozil will totally get blamed in all this, even though guys like Muller, Reus, Draxler were very very average.
Dead frog is in for a torrid time. both Country and Club. He’s done now with German National team for sure
Pierre
Pathetic.
At least we can’t be knocked out on penalties by the Germans. Lol, very poor showing and I Fucking loved it.
one thing that sucks about Germany going out, and Ozil sucking eggs is that his sell on value has dwindled.
We are stuck with his ass for a while.
sigh
CA
So basically it’s down to what he earns gets up your nose.
@ Dissenter So i guess u are blaming him for making the most of a bad situation and getting the best deal for himself?? Something 99% ( Thanks Gambon) will do when presented with the same opportunity in your own respective professions. He took the deal..now next season he has to earn that money. This blind hatred of a player because he is having a bad patch and is on good money i do not subscribe to that. He was never a player and will never be a bad player, he is just a dude that lost his drive. Raul… Read more »
Ozil had a good game today, created decent amount.. But, Germany had a poor tournament overall. From Low to Boateng, Hummel’s to Muller. Love Kroos, but besides goal vs Sweden, he was average as well. A little over elaborate with his passing. Without a Casemiro there, he needs to be quicker on the ball.
The main thing Germany have learned this tournament is that Timo Werner can’t play as a solo #9. At Leipzig, Poulsen does quite a.bit.of. dirty work for him in a 4-4-2 partnership
Guns of SF
There were only a few of us on here saying sell both Sanchez and Ozil last summer and reinvest. I think you could have got £50-60 Million for Sanchez and £20-30 Million for Ozil.
That is still enough to have gone out and done something, but we all knew laziness, cowardice and delusion would prevail with Wenger in charge and so it did.
I really think Ozil is slime.
Dear Germany,
This is how most of our World Cup and European Campaigns go.
It hurts, but you will get over it.
All the best,
England xxx

“Next on the list to hate and give your anti arsenal comments is xhaka.It makes me think that the Arsenal hate on here had nothing to do with Wenger at all”
Come on grow up.
All fans at every club have their favourite individual players and others they don’t like.
It’s universal.
Or sorry, is your definition of an Arsenal supporter mindless admiration for everything with Arsenal on it? Because if people like you had your way that buffoon Wenger would still be manager.Maybe you should rethink what it means to be an Arsenal fan, because you’ve been dangerously wrong for years now.
Absolutely nailed it CA
Pierre
Yeah, if that is what you’ve taken from what I said then your skills of deduction are about as good as I guessed they were after years of watching you champion and deflect for Wenger.
That Mexican Alvarez defender is a lucky boy that Germany fucked up.
Gave away the penalty and scored the own goal for the 3rd.
Might have met a similar fate back home that the Colombian defender did all those years ago…

“You can support Arsenal without supporting Ozil you do know that. Do you actually know that? I don’t think you do”
So what about when Xhaka plays later and he gets the same treatment or players that came through the system, Wilshere, iwobi or Bellerin get the same treatment.. Does the same principle apply…
‘Come on grow up.’
I think that ship sailed and hit the rocks of the Wenger sacking and sunk to the murky depths of delusion of revisionism.
Oh and let’s not forget if Welbeck plays tomorrow….
Surprise, surprise….the haters are out in force.
The way I see it I see is that Germany getting knocked out can be good for Arsenal. Ozil should have time for a good pre-season now and hopefully he’ll retire from international football.
ALvarez needs to be dropped. Layun should have started in left back and they play Dos Santos in attack
Any bets on Wenger taking over from Low as German coach ?
‘So what about when Xhaka plays later and he gets the same treatment or players that came through the system, Wilshere, iwobi or Bellerin get the same treatment’
All these players have been poor this season! Haha.
Supporters saying that is not really a head scratcher is it. Human being says what they see, someone call the press.
Yet, Mr fucking Super Fan over here will spew endless bile against one of our best players this season.
It’s just so rich it makes your throat itch.
Right back I meant
World cup a much bigger and exciting spectacle than Champions league. We are not past even the group stage and the fever has already caught on. Lot of drama and thrill.
The thing is Pierre is there an Arsenal player at the World Cup that the fans have been totally happy with?
The answer is no.
There are other Arsenal players that are not at this World Cup that the fans have been more pleased with overall.
Welbeck is an irrelevance in the disliking stakes. Not even a nailed on first team starter at Arsenal.
Should say as well VAR was actually great in that game, massive World Cup moment called absolutely right.

I’m not blaming Ozil. He did well for himself.
I’m blaming the oldies on the board who didn’t block the deal. I’m blaming the know-all ex-manager who dithered instead of taking decisive action two summers ago.

“Ozil had a good game today, created decent amount”
Correct.. Considering that he has hardly played any football in 3 months….
If hummels, werner, kroos etc had converted the chances he created the perception of his performance would be completely different.
