If Ozil is being a lazy bastard I'll say so. It's not a case of having to be 100% consistent in applause or criticism. These things depend on events and circumstances. You want to criticise him all the time though.
To be honest I'm finding player performances and Wengers poor excuse for management equally troubling. If players could formulate a system and a game plan by themselves there would no need for a manager but there are basics that should be required of every player who makes it into top flight football.

Saturday tea time was frightening, how professional footballers could play like that....now you can blame Wenger all you like for that, but there's a thing called pride and these players played with none. They expected to turn up and when Preston let us know we were in a game the response was "fuck that".

Yeah Wenger is at fault too, because he admitted they underestimated Preston, which leads me to conclude that he is responsible for a culture of total and utter complacency and the players are too lazy to step up themselves.
