Liverpool boss Klopp tells Arsenal fans: Don't write off Ozil!

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp says he's a fan of Arsenal midfielder Mesut Ozil.
As Arsenal visit Anfield, Klopp launched a passionate defence of his German compatriot.
"I remember the 3-3 draw we played here [in January 2016]," he recalled.
"If Arsenal played that day without Ozil and [Olivier] Giroud, we'd have won 3-0. It was one long ball – Giroud gave it to Mesut and there were five players on him, but we had no chance.
"He is an outstandingly skilled boy. If people are not happy with him, I don't know why. There is absolutely no doubt over in Germany about the quality of Mesut Ozil.
"In his position Germany is really blessed with a lot of world-class or close-to-world-class players but he is a first pick in the German national team, so that should be a sign.
"The manager, Joachim Low, sticks to the players he is successful with, but not when other players offer more.
"So Ozil's always a very important player for Germany – don't forget he won the World Cup with Germany three years ago, so I don't know why people criticise him."
