Arsenal won't win Premiership because of Ozil- Owen

Michael Owen has claimed record signing Mesut Ozil is too inconsistent to lead the Gunners to glory.

“Arsenal don’t have the class of player to go toe to toe with the main title contenders,” Owen said on his ‘half-term report’ blog on sport social network Sportlobster.

“Despite people constantly telling me Mesut Ozil is world class, his inconsistency means that we only see occasional glimpses of real quality.

“His odd good performance is usually followed by half a dozen poor ones.”

However, Owen has backed one of his former clubs to end the season in glory, and even predicts a spending spree at Anfield come the new year.

“Liverpool are fully deserving of being labelled title contenders,” he added.

“The Reds are firmly back in the big time. The noises I am hearing are that Rodgers has money to spend this coming window and should he unearth another couple of gems, I certainly wouldn’t back against them lifting some silverware come May.”
