Thierry Henry 'singles out' Mesut Ozil, picking up on the Arsenal midfielder's embarrassing stats

Thierry Henry picked up on Mesut Ozil's lack of impact against the top sides following Arsenal's 0-0 draw with Chelsea.

The Arsenal legend was analysing what his former side must do if they are to win the Premier League next season, during which he suggested the club's most high-profile players must play their part.

He used World Cup winner Ozil as an example, pointing out the German's poor record in matches against the best teams.

“Players need to perform,” Henry told Sky Sports. “I will single out Mesut Ozil, who made his eighth appearance against a top-four team today.

“Zero goals, two assists. That is not enough. Since joining Arsenal he has 14 assists. Now if you look at Fabregas at Chelsea, he has 16 assists in one season.

“At one point, I do think, and I do believe, the players have to step up and stand their game up.”

Arsenal have enjoyed a fine run of form since the turn of the year but it looks set to be too little too late following yesterday's result. The Gunners trail Chelsea by 10 points with five games to play.
