Oliver Kahn: It's a shame how passive Ozil plays

Bayern Munich legend Oliver Kahn has criticised his compatriot Mesut Ozil for his passive performance in Arsenal's 5-1 Champions League defeat to the German champions.

The former Germany international thinks that Ozil was invisible throughout the game as the Gunners suffered yet another demoralising defeat this season.

"Of course, Arsenal have their qualities, especially on the counter-attack, and they have good players like Ozil, but I haven't seen him," said Kahn on ZDF television.

"Maybe you saw him?

"It's sad to see what Ozil is calling a performance, how passive he plays, a player of his genius and qualities – it's a shame."
