Ozil finally convinces Emery
Mesut Ozil and Unai Emery finally see eye-to-eye. The midfielder's impressive performance against Newcastle has provided evidence of an improvement in the pair's relationship.
Emery wanted to see the best version of Ozil, and the German midfielder duly responded with a very strong performance against Newcastle.
He was finally decisive as Arsenal recorded a comfortable 2-0 home win, something that Emery has demanded from him time and time again.
And the Spanish manager mentioned this in his post-match press conference, saying: "Mesut is playing as we want, with this system, and he helps us tactically. He is working hard and showing us his quality".
Ozil, for his part, was also pleased with his performance. "My job is to give everything I have. I only want to help my teammates to win", he said.
Perhaps Ozil's improved performances have improved his relationship with his manager, but it remains to be seen if Emery will keep hold of him beyond this season.
