Because he bottled the top 4 run in last season
Because we traveled to Baku to watch our most embarrassing and pathetic performance of the season in a European final
Because his style of football is awful and painful to watch since 14 months
Because he has alienated one of our best players (ok debatable whatever) and top earners without any clear direct reason
Because nothing seems to have improved defensively despite 4 defenders being signed (incl Leno) and 2 defensive minded midfielders.
But aye, all about the meaningless position after 8 games...sorry but f**k off.
See whay you do is accept Mesut Ozil is a shitbag on our club who is overpaid and doesn't care and doesn't want to adapt his game to manage his physical limits as a player but cannot get over the fact the team has completely moved on without him and he's scared to think, just like what happened at Madrid, Ozil is scared that when he leaves the team will go onto great success without him. Because I see how Emery has had to deal with this with a very limited and restrictive budget. Look at January and the loan fiasco, look at the protests this summer against this terrible board. I see whats he's been given and he's done a great job. The team is just average and flawed bar 2 players plus a set of about 5 or so top level players but underneath that we are a average side. Neymar behaved in a similar childish way to Emery but there is a gigantic difference in quality between the two, One is truly world class. One is not, nowhere near and hasn't been since 2016. Btw, Neymar misbehaves with any manager!
Sorry but this is harsh but i think its got to this stage with Ozil! Baku was Ozil's time to shine, that was his chance to show the world he was still a world class player who could win games on his own but oh no, he blew it. There was no excuse for how pathetic his performance and energy levels where, none whatsoever. Willock did more in 10 minutes than what Ozil did all game. See with Wenger and especially since 2016 everytime we where embarrassed we never saw Ozil removed fro his lack of not just effort but plain and simple physically deficiencies to do things later on in a game going badly.
This is when i saw the horrible but clear truth Ozil is not just an average overrated player past his prime but he's so limited as a player physically. I looked at Kovacic and how comfortable he could move box to box to dictate the play and it really angered me Ozil hadn't adapted his game to play such a role. The guy can't dribble anymore whatsoever, he's slow, he has no strength or defensive awareness at all, he has poor stamina. He's a crap overrated player. All he can do is assist if he has space and it's not like he has a hammer pass like Xhaka to control games from range, he has to be in the final third. I'm sorry guys but he's a dreadful player.
It opened my eyes to why Ramsey left. He couldn't believe that they gave him that contract and he got not even half of what he was getting and left out of respect. Come this summer and when you understand Emery has wanted him gone all summer yet nobody, NOBODY in Europe wanted to touch him because absolutely nobody wanted to play Ozil those wages from what they have seen over the last 18 months you understand the consequences when you build a player up to being a God like figure, then comes the fall when he's finally past it and he needs to move on somewhere else. If Ozil was still at least a top class player at least he would of left by now. But the truth is Besiktas is still open for him but he's going to have to prove he can work and adapt or it's China then bust!
For his sake he needs to get real, man up, put in a transfer request to get this sorted. Look for a move to Turkey or the MLS and China will gladly double his wages just for the shirt sales he will recoup alone!
I see something good being built here and the only thing for me bar this awful board we have holding our club back is Mesut Ozil. Get rid of him, give Emery the money to buy a real attacking mid so we can move to the next level!
