Phil Neville: Arsenal must drop this player if they are to win the title
|
Former Manchester United defender, Phil Neville doesn’t believe Arsenal can win the Premier League title with Mesut Ozil in the team, as reported by the Metro (h/t Squawka).
Although Ozil has scored five goals this year, since the turn of the year, the German international has not scored a goal and only provided one assist. Moreover, in big games where Arsenal have lost, Ozil has been criticised for not performing for the club.
Speaking before Arsenal’s 2-0 win over Hull City, Neville concluded that Ozil should be the first man to be dropped from the team.
“The first person I’d take out of the team would be Mesut Ozil. You cannot win a league title with him in the team, playing like he has done in the big games since he’s come to the Premier League. You just can’t.”
