Arsenal star Mesut Ozil insists he will not alter his body language or style of play after fan and pundit criticism for being too negative

Arsenal star Mesut Ozil has defended himself against accusations of negative body language and a lack of effort on the pitch, insisting he won't change his style of play.

The Germany international has come in for criticism at times during a turbulent Arsenal campaign, particularly after they crashed out of the Champions League against Bayern Munich, losing 5-1 both home and away.

The fierce criticism from fans and pundits led to his agent, Dr Erkut Sogut, claiming Ozil had been made a 'scapegoat' for the calamitous team performance.
