In the second round match of the English Premier League Arsenal lost Stoke City 1: 0 on the road.

A faded game in this match was shown by the playmaker of the London club Mesut Ozil, which did not go unnoticed by former Liverpool midfielder Steven Gerrard, who works as an expert on BT Sport.

"Ozil disappointed me. Arsenu Wenger needs to deal with this problem, because when they lose the ball, they seem to play with ten men, "- said Gerrard.

"I'm worried about his reaction and body language - when the ball is at the rival, he does not help his companions in any way. And in away matches he is a burden for his team. He just does not give his best ".

"Obviously, if a ball is lost, he does not know what to do - he wants to work only with the ball, he wants to create moments and lead the game".

"But world-class players do both, when they lose the ball, they try to help their teammates. But he obviously does not do this ".

The current contract of Mesut Ozil with Arsenal is calculated until the summer of 2018 and the German has not yet concluded a new deal with the "Gunners", although he stated his desire to stay in the club.
