#4 No Özil…again
It’s almost becoming a running gag now. Every single time an Arsenal line-up is announced, fans instantly look for the German’s name. The topic has sometimes overshadowed Arsenal’s performances, with fans wondering how Unai Emery can justify such a decision whilst not delivering results.

It’s no secret that Emery and the World Cup winner have had their issues. The fans were hoping that this would have been put to bed considering the team’s embarrassing collapse towards the end of last season. However, the Spaniard is a stubborn man and he clearly feels Mesut Özil is not worthy of his matchday squad.
Tonight, Arsenal’s performance proved more than ever that they need him. Although Ozil has only featured twice this season, he has still been Arsenal’s fifth most creative player.
How long will Emery continue to justify this blatant scapegoating?
