Lay off Ozil.

Mesut Ozil cannot do much right at the moment without being criticised by the media. The German international was ruled out until the new year last week, and it absolutely disgusts me that a minority of fellow Arsenal fans are relieved and happy that he is going to be absent from the team for the next three months. Hold your heads in shame. We had been searching for a trophy for nine years. Mesut Ozil comes in, and in his first season he wins the FA Cup.
In the Premier League last season, with Ozil playing Arsenal won 17 and lost only 3. Without Ozil in the Premier League last season Arsenal won 7 and lost 4. When he was signed on Deadline Day in Summer 2013, he lifted the whole team, and that is what his critics are forgetting. His arrival bought the best out of certain players, such as Aaron Ramsey who had an phenomenal first half of the season before he got injured. Mesut Ozil was feeding the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Gonzalo Higuain and Karim Benzema. In his first season at Arsenal he was supplying Olivier Giroud and Yaya Sanogo. Enough said.
Another huge factor for why Ozil is not performing, and this is one that frustrates every single Gooner on the planet, is that Wenger for some reason plays him out on the left wing. Mesut Ozil is a CENTRAL ATTACKING MIDFIELDER. He should be playing the 'number 10' role behind the striker, that is his best and only position on a football pitch, not the left wing where he is isolated, invisible and never makes an impact. The arrival of Danny Welbeck this summer meant that finally Ozil had a quick, energetic striker who has great movement to assist week in, week out. We have rarely seen this partnership. Once, against Aston Villa away. He scores one, and sets one up for Welbeck. The following weekend against Tottenham, he puts him back on the left wing. Baffling.
We all know his quality and class that he possesses and on his day he is easily one of the best attacking midfielders in the world, that is why Arsenal paid the £42.5 million for him. He WILL come back after his injury stronger and better, and I so believe that he will prove his critics wrong. As for the stories from the likes of the Daily Mail saying that he wants a transfer, well that is just a prime example of lazy journalism for you. All the fellow Arsenal fans must get behind him week after week, don't give up on him. Remember that he chose us on Monday 2nd September 2013, when we were in a dark period. Lets just hope now that when he does return that Wenger finally plays him in the position where he prefers and ultimately will shine.
