Emery confirmed after the game that his decision not to pick the German was for tactical reasons and not due to injury, with reports claiming the boss is unhappy with the midfielders work rate and attitude.Ozils recent fall down the Arsenal pecking order under the new manager has led to transfer reports saying he could leave the club in January on loan.

When you get left out youve got to come back and make sure your attitude is spot on. Youve got to show the manager you mean business and youre going to fight for your place and maybe he hasnt done that.So Emery had made that big decision.Hes probably looking at it thinking, I dont want another Neymar – he got Emery the sack at PSG.Emery has said Neymar is No.1 at PSG and not the manager3

Fellow Arsenal legend David Seaman told talkSPORT on Thursday it would be a massive blow to the club if they lost Ozil in January, especially with Aaron Ramsey already heading out the door.
I dont want to see quality players leaving Arsenal. Weve got the Ramsey situation coming up in the summer, so you dont want to see Ozil and players of that sort of quality leaving the club. – David Seaman on talkSPORT
But Parlour has admitted he cant find a place for the German star in the current Gunners team.He added: As Dave says, you dont want to see quality players going, but is there a place for him in the side?I dont know when youd put him in the side at the moment.If you play three at the back its very hard to put him in, and if you play four at the back theres one spare place in the midfield but Emery might look at it and think other players deserve the opportunity over Ozil.
