Mesut Ozil MUST be starting for Arsenal, says Invincibles legend Gilberto Silva on talkSPORT
Arsenal legend Gilberto Silva has told Unai Emery he MUST find a place for Mesut Ozil in his team.The Invincibles hero believes the mercurial playmaker is too good to be left on the bench for Gunners, insisting on talkSPORT he must be played regularly to get the best out of him.Ozil does not seem to be trusted by his manager, having fallen down the pecking order since Emerys appointment in the summer.1

Ozil has been a bit-part player for Arsenal so far this season

The German has only played twice so far in 2019. He has worn the captains armband on a number of occasions this season, and yet the 30-year-old has only started 14 games and has regularly been left out of matchday squads by Emery.But, Arsenal fans have moaned about their lack of creative flair in midfield in recent weeks, having suffered a decline in form since their impressive 22-game unbeaten run was ended by Southampton in December.And Silva believes Ozil is the answer.He has to be on the field, the Brazilian told talkSPORT host Jim White on Friday.A player of his calibre cannot be on the bench, in my opinion.

People are always trying to find something to talk about Ozil – why is he not playing and when he is playing why is he not playing well?This kind of player, you have to give them responsibilities. Whats the best way to give him responsibility? Put him on the field!Right now its down to the manager. Its a good challenge for Unai.Whats the best set up for the team? Why not find a way for the team to play and find a place for him, where he can be important for the team?I think for Arsenal fans its difficult to see him on the bench.
