Paul Merson recently joked that Mesut Ozil might consider retiring if his struggles to get into the Arsenal first team continue.
“You play your best players and work around them,” “Ozil is Arsenal’s best player and he doesn’t play, it beats me.
“He must sit at home and watch Arsenal and think ‘how am I not getting into this team?’
“I don’t know if they are trying to push him into retirement, because he must sit there and think he might as well retire if he can’t get into Arsenal’s team.”
“Ozil is not so influential that you have to build a team around him, but he has to play because he is their best player,” he added.
“He’s not going to run around and put sliding tackles in, that is never going to happen, but he makes things happen.
“Arsenal have to stick with him, they are not good enough not to have him in the team.”
