Frankly, Mediawatch is bloody tired of the Ozil bulls**t that has sweated its way through the second half of the season. What is it about the English press that causes them to jump at the idea that a foreign player's poor form is due to mental weakness? Ozil just doesn't match up to our brave lions John Terry and Frank Lampard, who were part of the England team that was embarrassed by Arsenal's shrinking violet and his German teammates in Bloemfontein in 2010.
The Ozil 'conundrum' is pretty bloody obvious, to the extent that it exacerbates the tedium of every single redundant column written about his lack of fight. With certain players in the team - remember Aaron Ramsey and Theo Walcott? - he has more opportunity to excel and demonstrate his exceptional range of passing. When he is able to play in the centre with runners from midfield (Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain in recent weeks) he can perform to the best of his ability, as his display against Everton proved.
A final point - the fact that Arsenal are in the middle of yet another injury crisis has meant that Ozil has been forced to play almost every game (and frequently out of position) - something he is simply not used to following three years at Real Madrid. He is exhausted, even more so than Mediawatch after having to read yet more dribbling bumfarts about the playmaker's predicament.
The press are looking for a scapegoat to explain Arsenal's drop in form, when the reality is that they are enjoying their best season in years. And, if anyone is to blame for the Gunners not being able to compete at the elite level, it is surely Arsene Wenger, who failed to strengthen the squad adequately in the summer and again in January. The Ozil angle is simply too easy and too f**king obvious. But don't let that stop you, fellas.
