Opinion: There's little chance for Ozil to regain his starting spot and get regular football under Emery

Paininthearsenal's Josh Sippie explains why he doesn't see Mesut back in Emery's plans.
"Mesut Ozil earned a promotion against Chelsea. He was on the Arsenal bench. One would have thought that there would have been an appearance by the German in a match of that intensity, and maybe there would have been, if Bellerin’s injury didn’t force Emery’s hand. But chances are, it wouldn’t have.
"The fact of the matter is that Ozil probably would have been eaten alive in this match. When I saw Aubameyang make the tackles that he did, and Lacazette too, my first thought (does this make me a bad person?) was that I knew Ozil wouldn’t be doing the same. It’s not in his nature.

"Which begs the question that we’ve not exactly asked yet – is there anyway back for Mesut Ozil? We hear a lot about how he wants to fight for his place in the squad, and that’s cute and all, but what can he actually do to accomplish that end? That’s the thing we need to consider. It’s not whether or not Ozil is talented, of course he is, it’s whether there is a place for him in the team for the future.
Mourinho on Ozil: "With me Ozil played amazingly well, maybe not with Unai. And maybe a certain player was phenomenal with Unai, and [wouldn’t] work as well with me. It’s just the nature of empathy" #Arsenal pic.twitter.com/kA4GiF8QQX

"Here’s a fun fact, if there isn’t a place in the team for him now, then there is even less of a chance that he is going to have a place going forward. Because going forward, Emery will have more flexibility to have more players that he wants and as he is already proving, he doesn’t give a lick about Ozil’s wages – he will exclude him from the squad if he feels like it.
"Against Chelsea, we saw a rip-roaring Arsenal side that didn’t miss Ozil in the slightest. In fact, I’d offer the opinion that we wouldn’t have been as effective with Ozil. Ramsey played his part perfectly, and it was his work ethic that propelled him.
Congratulations to the whole team tonight 💪🏼 Well played, Gunners 👍🏼 Wishing a speedy recovery to @HectorBellerin 🙏🏼 #YaGunnersYa #COYG @Arsenal @premierleague pic.twitter.com/sZ7WIzYp5j

"So what would change in the future, if anything? Emery isn’t going to change. The way he sets up this team isn’t going to change. Meaning that either Ozil changes or this drama will be an ongoing narrative that we really don’t want to be ongoing. I hate to beat a dead horse, but what Emery is doing with Ozil isn’t exactly the 'wrong' move. There just isn’t a right move in this situation."

FOR HEAVENS SAKE !!, if there s no way back for Ozil, WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN.... You can not have a player on £300/50k a week doing nothing........... WHEN THERE ARE PEOPLE WITH NO WHERE TO LIVE AND NOTHING TO EAT..... It just NOT right, Its insane.....If Ozil is Not in Emery s plans again, Emery needs to come out and say so, Then make plans to offload Him........ If im correct he missed 2months collecting Three Million Pounds£.... IT JUST CAN NOT BE ALLOWED TO HAPPEN...Its criminal......
Ozil is a great player and should start some matches. He is more valuable than we think... He will come back to bite us on our arses if we let him go. Emery should wake up and let him play... 2nd half sun to see his dedication to the team and our way of play. Then if he doesn’t smoke the pipe he can be sold... All you Ozil haters out there... Do you think he is not worth that £350k/ wk contract...?? They are getting their money back on shirt sales etc... they are bot loosing that much money...
No football club will ever pay Ozil that amount of money, that is why the guy refused to go. He keep on saying he want to fight for his place. On bench ? 350K a week for nothing. If it's you , would you go ?.
If its me on the board, I cut my losses and sell for 10m..............
