Ian Wright again criticizes Mesut Özil, the playmaker of Arsenal, by Unai Emery

The legendary Arsenal striker, Ian Wright, continued his criticisms of Unai Emery's treatment of Mesut Ozil, revealing that he had found the situation "very uncomfortable".

Wright – who has repeatedly defended the offensive midfielder and emphasized his star qualities – suggested that Ozil's treatment under the Spanish manager has been poor throughout the 2018/19 season.

The former Real Madrid star was struggling for form this season, scoring only four times in 20 league games for The Gunners, but Wright again defended him after losing 1-0 to Everton.

"The way he was treated by Unai Emery – there was too much negativity around him, "said Wright, quoted by the Metro.

"He was trying, he's doing what he's doing and that's how he's playing." To let him completely go out and say what he says tactically and his physical appearance, I found it very uncomfortable.

"I do not think Mesut has learned the lesson, he will continue to play as he plays."

Wright went on to say that the criticisms directed at Ozil – especially about his performance against the top six – are unjustified.

To defend the work pace and capabilities of this 30-year-old man, Wright added: "If you look at his statistics, he is as good as anyone, he's doing his fair share of that stuff.

"He's playing too well not to be involved at all."

"Whatever people say about it, he will not do it against the top 6. I'm not interested because against teams like Newcastle and the rest, he will do it and that's where you will earn points. "
