Meanwhile Rashford , aged only 21 has raised his head above the parapet to fight the government for something he believes in.

Tax-deductible just means you can write off the amount against your taxable income... It doesn't mean the whole amount would have otherwise been paid in tax.

Really? I suggest you read up on it a bit more!

Thinking back to what Arteta is saying and what Merts said about Ozil's life outside of football changing, maybe it's an issue with Ozil's focus and not a physical thing. He might be fine in training and fit but from what I understand, Arteta sends the players homework and videos to study on tactics and opponents. Maybe that's the issue Arteta is referring to and trying over and over again but he's not doing it.
Also, I totally forgot about Ozil's friendship with the Turkish president, Erdogan. Have to admit, I haven't done my research on the guy or Turkey's human rights violations but looking into it now. I can see why the club would distance themselves from Ozil's political PR stunts. If you think Ozil has been left out for non footballing reasons and can't accept Arteta's explanation and think it's something more cynical, follow the breadcrumbs and look up what's going on with Turkey and Erdogan. It's a bit rich for Ozil to talk about the clubs silence on the muslims being persecuted in China when he has close ties with the man who is actually sending them to China for extradition. Messy stuff.

He certainly had no problem airing out the reasons Saliba wasn’t starting. Can’t defend set pieces and can’t stay on his feet.
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta says he gave former Germany playmaker Mesut Ozil "as many opportunities" as he could before leaving the 32-year-old out of his Premier League and Europa League squads. (Sky Sports)
