Twitter Goes to Town on Mesut Ozil Following Poor Performance in Arsenal's 3-0 Loss to Man City

Having recently signed a club record £350,000 per week contract, Arsenal fans may be forgiven for expecting to see good performances from their German star Mesut Ozil on a fairly consistent basis.

On Thursday night, however, he was largely anonymous in Arsenal's 3-0 home loss to Manchester City, much as he was in the Carabao Cup final on Sunday, which saw Arsenal again lose 3-0 to City.

Unsurprisingly, the cruel world of Twitter was not kind to Ozil, with fans of both Arsenal and other clubs not holding back. Here is a selection of some of the best comments.

How is Mesut Ozil the highest-paid player on this pitch?

Anyone else noticed a massive dip in Mesut Ozil’s form since he signed his new 300k per week contract ?

Mesut Ozil earns 150k more than Eden Hazard every week, just let that sink in...

Ozil is the biggest conman in English football.

Dude dropped a series of 8/10’s for like 2 months, signed a new £350k/wk contract @ Arsenal, then returned to his usual 2/10.

Sharp guy! #YaGunnersYa
