"Arsenal" team entering the traditional mid-season crisis, more and more fans are looking for scapegoats for the deteriorating game.
The English press has focused on the German Mesut Ozil, who is more often appearing in the media not because of his performances on the field, but because of unsuccessful contract negotiations with the team regarding a new contract.
In the past "Premier" league season, the 28-year-old footballer was close to the record for effective passes, but this season he has only scored twice in this area.
Moreover, comparing his statistics with that of Andrei Arshavin, who was considered lazy in the past while playing for "Arsenal," the preference went to the Russian.
He scored 31 goals and made 46 assists in 8709 minutes in the London team, while M. Ozil scored 29 goals and made 49 assists in 11650 minutes.
