Ozil was trying to send the keeper the wrong way, Neuer did not dive though and he was caught out, hence the weak shot.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
Thought Alaba's penalty was worse tbh. Neuer did well for Ozil's. Not that it was a particularly good penalty but if it went in nobody would be complaining about a lack of technique.
Of all the things you could criticize Ozil for in that half the penalty is the most pointless.

Of course Alaba's was worse. Ozil's shot could have gone in, Alaba's couldn't.
And yeah, there's enough to criticize Ozil for. One poor shot shouldn't be high on the agenda.

Has anyone done the 'Ozil gave him the eyes' joke yet?
Guess who's starting for Germany and who's on the bench 
Germany have two better number 10s than him that are wasted by Low.
Yes. I'm sure they said he has missed 3 in a row for Arsenal. He's their 3rd choice taker but you'd think Cazorla or Wilshere would be able to do better. I'm sure Wilshere would put himself forward, he seems the type.
I'd have had Cazorla on it for sure. Ozil just has no confidence right now.
Low is there, surely he will be playing Kroos in the 11.Guess who's starting for Germany and who's on the bench
The chances are slim, very very slim. Kroos might start in CM, if Gündogan and Khedira aren't fit, but if it's a choice between Özil and Kroos, Özil will start
.Is it possible to put in a negative amount of effort in a game?
He's a liability out there at the moment, no doubt.
It must be worrisome for Arsenal to see the kind of performances he has been pulling. He isn't shinning on a stage where he should be. Can't believe he was hailed as the best number 10 in the world and was put in the "must buy when available" category during the summer.
Imagine him in our struggling team bereft of confidence right now, he'd look even worse. At least Mata is a positive individual who always gives his best.
Great player to watch when he's on his game but he'd be infuriating at times.
Ozil has that Arsenal stank of mediocrity/failure right now
He has been shocking today. You don't have to run like a maniac to be good but he has had no redeeming qualities today.
I will only criticize his penalty miss as for the rest it would be unfair to judge him against a team as good as this Bayern and with 10 men.
You wouldn't criticise his criminal lack of any effort?
Dunphy is going mad 
"He's a disgrace!"
"He's a disgrace!"
I'm not saying he was right to be lazy, it just wouldn't have mattered in the end IMO. He's never been the energetic player Arsenal needs him to be.
That's the only thing you shouldn't be judging, Kouroux. That shit can happen anyone. The rest is fairly unforgivable.
He just doesn't give a shit about defensive work, does he?
Best player on the pitch.
lol pete
lol pete
He would drive me crazy if I supported Arsenal.
Totally uninterested and lazy.
Totally uninterested and lazy.
It's Ozil though, why would we expect another type of performance where he would be committed 100%, running all day long ?
Looks like he doesn't give a shit, period
What are these guys watching, Motm for me
I decided this before the match begun lulz.
Matt Holland on Talksport: "Defensively, Ozil was a disgrace."
I was mainly following the match via radio updates but those are strong words.

I didn't know this about him. Terrible lack of character tonight, you're down to 10 against Bayern, you work for your team. You've got to question how Wenger left him on the field.
He is a woeful player. How on earth he cost 40 million I dont know, the first couple of games aside he hasnt justified any of his price tag. Torres mk II thus far.
He stayed on the field because of his price tag, why else?

We dodged a bullet IMO. Not that he's a bad player, in fact he's a top player, but his mentality and attitude is weak as hell.
One fan having a go at him on 5 Live, another caller defending him.
It's not a matter of giving a shit about his defensive work. When thing is going against his team, he just dosen't give a shit all together. With his fragile state, it's close to being waste of world class talent.
Not surprised by this, he lacks courage and the capacity to raise his game when his team needs him the most.
His body language on the pitch is simply diabolical. Looks like he doesn't want to be there.
Awful defensively. It's one thing being bad going forward, but he didn't even track his runners.
That's nonsense, Rob. He's just a particular type. Easy for you, watching what Jose is getting out of Hazard every week. Wasn't always like that. Time was, if he wasn't creating for you, he was a waste of a jersey.
Maybe not an actual liability, as Ozil was tonight, though.
Does he ever show up in big games?
Absolutely brilliant player when he's on form but has never really been the type of player who'll take control of a game. Add the fact that he looks wrecked and low on confidence...
Very poor today.
