Mesut Ozil has taken quite a swipe at Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta on Twitter, after the 5-0 defeat by Manchester City.
Shockingly, Arsenal are rock bottom of the Premier League table after three games following Saturday’s demolition by City at the Etihad Stadium.
The Gunners haven’t scored once but have conceded nine in their opening three matches so far.
Arteta’s job is under serious threat and failing to beat newly-promoted Norwich City at the Emirates Stadium in two weeks, after the international break, may well spell the end for the Spaniard.
The 39-year-old coach fell out with Ozil at Arsenal and didn’t even include him in his Premier League or Europa League squad last season, before the playmaker had his contract terminated in January.
Arteta’s catchphrase since becoming the Gunners’ head coach in December of 2019 has been ‘trust the process’ – and here’s what Ozil tweeted out after Saturday’s defeat.

Here’s how some supporters responded:
