Arsenal are travelling to Etihad Stadium tomorrow with fellow Champions League competitors in Southampton, Manchester United, Liverpool, and Chelsea picking up maximum points. Despite the mounting pressure, Mesut Ozil was in a mood for some comic interaction with his Facebook followers.

The German international uploaded a picture featuring him sandwiched between Tomas Rosicky and Alexis Sanchez. Apparently, the midfielders are seen laughing at some object lying on the pitch whilst the Chilean looks curiously at the very object.

He asked his fans to guess the object that made the trio laugh, but the fans didn’t seem to enjoy his humour as they made sarcastic comments citing his dip and the Gunners’ result as of late.

Last training session ahead of the Manchester City match. Do you have any idea what Tomas, Alexis and I discovered on the ground?

A witty Arsenal supporter asked if the object lying on the ground was Abou Diaby, who has spent most of his footballing career on the sidelines due to injuries while another fan asked if it was his long-lost form.

“Is that Abou Diaby?”

“Yes, you finally found your missing form.”

References to injuries were made in large numbers as a supporter asked if it was Jack Wilshere. Another supporter hinted that Arsenal need to emulate the successes of their Invincibles season.

Toby West

“Is that a time machine to take us back to the Invincibles?”

Dean Fisher

“Is that Jack Wilshere holding his ankle?”

Few were seen emphasizing the need for new signings while others sarcastically stated that Arsenal need to take three points away from Etihad Stadium tomorrow.

Mesut Ozil was certainly trying to do a Lukas Podolski, but Gooners now seem to be focused more on the progress of their team than on the object that amused Mesut Ozil.
