So no Özil.
There's something in the water.

 

[Sammy1887]

Keown was absolutely spot on about Özil.

 

[field442]

Hope we sell Özil. ****.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

That's beautiful

 

[A_G]

Nice starting XI, no youngsters on the bench but hopefully we'll see them in the next two games after 6th is secured

 

[Aevi]

Chambers-Mavropanos

 

[<<reed>>]

Özil's days off are a meme

 

[Lady_Gooner]

It doesn’t feel real.. next home game after this there will be a new man in charge!!! Surreal. Hope we can put in a good performance for him and the atmosphere is electric for Arséne.
Really worried about Özil, things don’t feel right.

 

[Garrincha]

I cant blame Özil for leaving but its not like Wenger wanted to go & tricked him.

He should play for Wenger & this is not an easy game today.

Wenger deserves a win.

 

[Aevi]

Also, **** Özil.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Against Leicester and Huddersfield if he didn't start he need to get sold in summer we give him 300K a week we expect him to play 1 a week at least

 

[Ricardinho]

I mean what the hell man

If he's not training then the it's definitely a case of the club allowing him to have an early holiday before the world cup.

 

[Vinci]

Pretty decent team.

Yeah, Özil....

 

[Notorious Big]

Özil is attention whore.

 

[Penn_]

Massive black mark against Özil if he’s not even in the stadium. He talks a lot about respect but that would show a complete lack of it.

If he's not training then the it's definitely a case of the club allowing him to have an early holiday before the world cup.

That's not such a great idea though, is it? Three weeks off before Germany's pre-WC training camp, then having to build his fitness back up in time for the tournament itself doesn't seem like ideal preparation.

 

[Ricardinho]

 

[DanDare]

If this CB partnership works I think Wenger might regret not doing what he was renowned for earlier in the season. Mustafi had carte blanche after every game

Mavro-Chambers is the future though so very exciting to see

 

[FreakySami]

Özil has a nagging knee injury all season, why would he risk his world cup in meaningless games? Even if he's off, the club agreed to not playing him

 

[Ricardinho]

That's not such a great idea though, is it? Three weeks off before Germany's pre-WC training camp, then having to build his fitness back up in time for the tournament itself doesn't seem like ideal preparation.

That's their problem. Should be ready to hit the ground running when he returns to the club late july/early august.
