‘EMERY WRONG TO LEAVE OUT OZIL’

“It’s one decision. But he is a good player.”

Arsenal’s glaring lack of composure and incisive passes in the final third against the Hammers did little to justify their manager’s big call.

There is a a growing sense Emery’s relationsh­ip with Ozil (above) could soon reach a tipping point, and Match Of The Day pundit Wright said: “It’s really worrying – I know Emery has had his problems with big players in the dressing room before and it seems like Ozil, in this dressing room, is the one he’s taking it out on.

“For Ozil not to be in the matchday squad of 18, whatever’s going on with him, I can’t get my head around that.

“He should be given the opportunit­y to play himself into form or out of form – we cannot afford to have arguably the highest-paid player in Arsenal’s history not even in the 18.”

Inter Milan have been monitoring Ozil’s situation, although his astronomic­al wages would prove a stumbling block.
