Mikel Arteta's men were completely destroyed as they suffered a heavy 5-0 loss in a result that sent them to the bottom of the Premier League.
The performance saw a number of Gunners fans once again take to social media to criticise Arteta, calling on the club to axe him as manager.
However, Ozil has appeared to throw his backing on the Spaniard, asking fans to "trust the process."
On his part, Arteta who spoke after the match suggested he is desperate to turn around Arsenal's fortunes after starting the season on the wrong footing.
"For me, it is pride and more willingness to change the situation. A lot happened in the last three weeks we are in a difficult position," he said as quoted by Metro UK.
"The international break will do us some good to recover some of the big players we are missing at the moment and hopefully we come back we are in a better place," he added.
YEN.com.gh earlier reported that Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has come out to passionately defend Mikel Arteta after the Arsenal boss saw his side succumb to yet another lowly defeat in the Premier League.
The Gunners were comprehensively beaten 5-0 by Manchester City in the early kick off on Saturday, August 28 and from an overall scope of the game, Mike Arteta’s side rarely threatened the Premier League champions.
A brace from Ferran Torres as well as goals from Rodri, Gundogan and Gabriel Jesus were enough to send Arsenal to bottom in the league and confirm their worst start to a league campaign in more than 60 years.
It now remains to be seen for how long Arsenal chiefs put up with Pep Guardiola's former assistant at Man City.
