Mesut Ozil's critics ALWAYS find something wrong with his performance. So how would they have reacted if the Arsenal man had scored these famous wondergoals?
Last night against Monaco was the perfect example. The £42m World Cup winner had a cracking game, working his socks off and constantly looking dangerous.
But did he get any credit for his performance? Nope. Instead, he was berated for letting an opponent have his shirt at half-time (*GASP*) and once again blamed for Arsenal's woes.
In fact, the reaction to anything Ozil does is now so predictable (ignore all the good stuff, somehow find a negative), we got to thinking… what if it had been Mesut Ozil who had scored these famous individual wondergoals?

THE REACTION IF OZIL HAD SCORED IT: "Paul Scholes was in a better position to shoot. He should have left it for him, the greedy sod."

THE REACTION IF OZIL HAD SCORED IT: "What's he doing going for goal? At 3-2 up in injury time, he should be taking that into the corner and running down the clock."

THE REACTION IF OZIL HAD SCORED IT: "Yeah, OK, THAT one went in. But that type of selfish play is exactly what's wrong with Ozil's game. Just play it simple once in a while, for God's sake."

THE REACTION IF OZIL HAD SCORED IT: "As if Arsenal haven't got enough injury problems already, there's Ozil flinging himself about, risking a broken collarbone or a dislocated shoulder. Typical."

THE REACTION IF OZIL HAD SCORED IT: "Yeah, sure - he can do it against Colin Hendry and Scotland. But would he be able to do that against a Spain, Holland or Italy? No chance. And he scuffed that volley…"
