What's wrong with Mesut Ozil? Why doesn't Wenger give the Arsenal star a chance in his best position?

What's the deal with Ozil? The German has been woeful lately for Arsenal The man on the public address system at Dusseldorf airport hit the‎ nail on the head. They called Mr Ozil's name because ‎he had gone missing and his flight was closing. Oh, the irony. It is becoming a familiar question: what has happened to Mesut Ozil and has anyone seen him lately? Arsenal signed Ozil on deadline day last summer for £42m and in doing so they bought one of the best players in the world. Even Jose Mourinho hailed him as the best No10 in the world. So, why oh why, doesn't Arsene Wenger play him there? Ozil has been used wide left and wide right this season but has been largely anonymous in both roles. He has been hugely disappointing. Arsene Wenger has favoured a new 4-1-4-1 formation to help squeeze all his players into midfield, from Alexis Sanchez to Jack Wilshere, it's a way of cramming them all in. But it tends to leave the one in front of the back four - largely Mikel Arteta - exposed and carrying the flak from the fans. The supporters are turning on Arteta in an ugly way. But Ozil also cannot really play in the middle of that four and his talents are wasted wide so I do feel sympathy for the German playmaker. He's not at his best and Arsenal aren't helping get the best out him.
