I’m still struggling with the Ozil thing, he’s played for some top top sides and created an abundance of chances and goals so if they accept it why can’t we, we have NO creativity whatsoever no service no through balls . Emery’s arrogance and childish behaviour is beyond belief.

Emery has backed himself into a corner with both Ozil and Xhaka, he can't play one or drop the other without a huge public climb down.
We are at a standstill until the club says enough is enough and decides it has to make a change.
Just have to hope they don't need to 10000% convinced before they make the decision and it's far to late to save this season.

I know we've been through this a thousand times before but I'm curious to know what any of the eds think. Is this Ozil farce Emery's doing? Or do you reckon the execs are trying to force him out? Apologies if I've asked this before.
{Ed047's Note - they are alleged to have fallen out at Baku when Ozil told him he was no football coach and it’s gone down hill from there.
Emery has done the same with Banega at Sevilla and both Ben Arfa and Thiago Silva at PSG.
Despite anyone’s opinion of Ozil a quality manager should surely get the best from his best players.
Ozil certainly hasn’t done himself any favours with performances on the pitch when the opportunity has been there which clearly doesn’t help his cause.
The big problem is an in form Ozil is exactly what we need and he’s probably quite happy to wait out Emery getting his P45.

They are might thoughts Ed which is why I’d get Ozil on the bench at least, Ozil could be the one to unlock a defence at the moment we haven’t a clue .
{Ed002's Note - I rather doubt that is the plan.}

So do I but ED if you were running a business and your most expensive asset wasn’t being used what would do or think, it makes no sense, especially when the manager has form with these sort of scenarios.
{Ed002's Note - Efforts are being made to move him on in January.}
