We are all still reeling from the Manchester City defeat from yesterday and with defeat, comes the blame game. Arsene Wenger is blaming the referees, and some fans are blaming the team. Others are blaming the manager, and some are blaming one man in particular – Mesut Özil.

But is it deserved? There are videos going round of “Özil’s intense pressing” and at times the lack of effort exerted by the German was pretty astounding. Yet some Arsenal fans think the criticism is too harsh, and that a lot of Arsenal players let themselves down yesterday.

So what do you think? Is the criticism deserved or is it too harsh?
