Read the full exchange to really enjoy Gary Lineker’s latest takedown of Piers Morgan
Piers Morgan took on Gary Lineker on Twitter and the result was reassuringly predictable and yet no less satisfying because of it.
Indeed, this could be one of the Match of the Day man’s best yet.
It started off with Lineker’s verdict on Arsenal star Mesut Ozil. (In the unlikely event you don’t know this, Morgan is a very discontented Arsenal fan).
Mesut Ozil has created 34 chances for his team-mates this season – more than any other player in the Premier League 👏

He’s a class act. Just because he doesn’t charge around like a headless chicken he’s seen as lacking commitment. Utter tosh. https://t.co/9LYk531l2H

Hmmm.
Ozil's a brilliant player when he wants to be but his commitment's definitely been questionable this season. Not today, fortunately. https://t.co/QWe7iBjoCn— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) November 18, 2017

When he wants to be? So you think sometimes he wants to play badly? Poppycock. https://t.co/tp2RMdA8Qg

No, I didn't say that.
But Ozil's commitment levels in numerous games this season have not been anywhere near today's performance.
Unlike you, I watch every second of every Arsenal game. https://t.co/Z7fu8VSnKW— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) November 18, 2017

Yes that’s exactly what you said. As with all players form comes and goes. With players who have a languid style a lack of confidence is often confused with a lack of effort. https://t.co/YFLJIbvvub

Languid can very quickly turn into lazy. It's why you never made a tackle – too….taxing. https://t.co/AIzyBMmIGK

To be fair, he did slide one perfectly across the 6 yard box. https://t.co/Yv02yUDEu1
