Ozil scoring while wearing the Adidas Predator Cleats
After being named to the starting 12 for the first time since the 29th of January, Mesut Ozil made an instant impact on the pitch during the match against AFC Bournemouth. The German national scored a singular goal in the fourth minute, along with an assist to Mkhitaryan in the 27th minute. Koscienly, Aubameyang, and Lacazette also helped with goals of their own. The performance by Ozil made many fans start to wonder why Ozil is not starting games more often.

During the 2018-2019 campaign so far, Ozil has missed more games then he has started for Arsenal. This is problematic considering that Ozil is the clubs highest paid and most skilled player. This past week Ozil sent out a tweet quoting former player Dennis Bergkamp, “When you start supporting a football club, you don’t support it because of the trophies, or a player, or history, you support it because you found yourself somewhere there; found a place where you belong.” The tweet was directed at Emery to let him know that he (Ozil) was not planning on leaving, or giving up on the team any time soon.
