Mesut Ozil criticised for lack of courage and passion

Arsenal star Mesut Ozil has been called out for his failure to have an impact in the Gunner's 2-2 draw with Crystal Palace and criticised for lack of courage and passion by Souness. "To be fair, Ozil showed a great deal of passion when he was subbed today," he said on Sky Sports. "That's the most I've ever seen him show in a game of football. "You're the captain, when you're on the pitch show courage to get on the ball when you're not dominating. Show real passion, maybe you're not built for it but certainly make an attempt to make a few challenges and win the ball back for your team. "He doesn't do that. I'm sorry to harp on about him a bit but a man with that much talent should influence games like that."
