Mesut Ozil has made a public apology to Arsenal fans following his side’s shocking 4-0 defeat to Liverpool.
The Gunners were thrashed at Anfield, with goals from Roberto Firmino, Sadio Mane, Mohamed Salah and Daniel Sturridge embarrassing the visitors.
Arsenal’s performance was an embarrassment, both collectively and individually.
Ozil, who was in the starting XI, failed to sparkle but insisted he shared in the frustration of the supporters.
‘Blame us, shout at us, criticize us, but I’m also very disappointed about today’s game,’ he wrote on Instagram.
‘We wanted to achieve a positive result before the international break but we were simply not good enough during the 90 minutes and Liverpool deserved the win without a doubt.
‘Usually I’m too angry to post on social media after such frustrating days like today, but I don’t want to let this match go uncommented before traveling to the DFB Team.’
Ozil then went on to apologise: ‘Nevertheless… Gunners, I’m sorry – especially for the fans who travelled all the way up to Liverpool to see us fighting. But we will try everything to improve in the next game and bounce back from the disappointment we are all feeling at the moment.’
Ozil’s team-mate Alexis Sanchez, who was making his first appearance of the season, simply posted a picture of himself from the match looking upset.
