Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has defended Mesut Ozil's low-key start to the season.
Wenger claimed that Ozil, who played every game in Germany's World Cup-winning campaign, is unfairly criticised and does not get enough credit for his achievements.
"People are very harsh with Ozil because he's a player who's always very easy on his play," said Wenger. "But when you watch the game again the next day you see what a player he is.
"Everything he does is intelligent. The timing of everything he does is absolutely perfect. You never catch him giving the ball too late. The number of players you catch giving the ball too late is unbelievable. He's like a guy who plays the music, the timing of what he does is perfect, you don't get many players like that. He will never be a tackler."
Wenger added: "He is not getting enough praise. He came back as a World Cup winner. He got back (to Arsenal) on August 11 and he has already played two games, so after three or four weeks he will be at his best again."
