UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE:::ARSENAL WATOLEWA NA BAYERN MUNICH KWA JUMLA YA MAGOLI 3 KWA 1

At £42.5m Mesut Ozil is the most expensive export in the history of German football. After his performance in Munich you wouldn’t pay two-bob for him.
There should be something special about returning to the country where it all started for the Arsenal midfielder.
Behind those eyes something is going on with Ozil because he is simply not right.

Waste: £42.5m Mesut Ozil struggled in Munich before being hauled off at half-time

Despair: The German international barely got into the game against Bayern Munich

No impact: The German had just 21 touches in the the opening 45 minutes - Thiago Alcantara (right) had 66

Withdrawn: Ozil watches the action from the Arsenal dugout

Change: Arsene Wenger waited until half-time to take Ozil off, but he could have done it sooner

Out of sync: Ozil looked lost, lazy and disinterested in the Allianz

All smiles: Ozil seemed happy in the pre-match warm-up, but that didn't last long

So what if he scored the first of four goals in an FA Cup quarter-final at home to Everton at the weekend? That’s a sticking plaster.
There is a wider issue here and it is down to Wenger to find out what is going wrong with one of the most talented players in the game.
The exuberance has gone, deserting him at a time when his team-mates are looking to the former Real Madrid midfielder for inspiration.
His time at the Bernabeu has gone and he can look wistfully at the team who beat Schalke 6-1 at the same stage of this competition all he likes.

Opener: Bastian Schweinsteiger fires home to make it 1-0 to the defending European champions

Mooted: Lukas Podolski celebrates after smashing the ball home to make it 1-1

Bright spark: In contrast Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain was brilliant for Arsenal

Opener: Ozil scored the first of Arsenal's four goals against Everton, but that's not enough

Good times: Ozil enjoyed a great relationship at Real Madrid with Crisitano Ronaldo - even though he was accused of drifting in and out of games

The days when he drifted in and out of games with Real are behind him. Now he just looks like a lost soul, lazy and disinterested.
A week ago, in the Stuttgart Stadion, Germany’s fans were on his back during their victory over Chile in a friendly.
He had set up the only goal for Mario Gotze, who started this game for Bayern Munich, but it still wasn’t enough to appease them.
Three weeks ago in London, it was all too much for him after he had missed the chance to put Arsenal ahead from the penalty spot.

On his back: Ozil set up a goal in Germany's game against Chile, but was still subject to jeers from German fans

Advanced: Pep Guardiola saw his Bayern team comfortably take care of Arsenal

It was there that his great friend Manuel Neuer saved his spot-kick and after Ozil’s game simply fell apart. He is better than that.
This was another limp contribution, a player simply going through the motions as Arsenal inevitably went out of the Champions League in the second round.
Stationed on the right, where he often plays for the national team, his first and only meaningful contribution was a corner in the 31st minute that was met by the head of Olivier Giroud. Neuer did well to save.
After this, it is down to Wenger to rescue him.
