Arsenal won with 2-5 from Everton on Sunday, who has meanwhile said goodbye to Ronald Koeman. Mesut Özil played an important role in the Gunners by taking care of the second goal of the Londoners. The German midfielder, according to several English newspapers, has already indicated indoors that he leaves Arsenal at the end of this season for Manchester United, but Arsène Wenger does not believe in it.
“We live in a time when we have to deal with the news that is round-up. I and the players have only one way to react and that’s on the football pitch”, says the French manager after the duel with Everton on different media,”When you see Mesut on the pitch like today, enjoying the game, the story is hard to believe”.
“He was great. Skilful, fast, intelligent. Always serving. When he reaches the right level, he is an exceptional player”, says Wenger, who thought that Arsenal should have scored more against Everton:”We should have stood in front with 0-2 or 0-3, but it was 1-0. We did not panic. Previously, we were punished for mistakes we made outside the home. We had often earned more in our away matches than we had received.
Graeme Souness, a former trainer and former football player from Liverpool, among others, states in Sky Sports that Wenger is no longer the right man for Arsenal:”He lacks both character and quality. It is incredible that he is still there. He has had a great time behind him, but now it seems nowhere to go. Arsenal occupies fifth place in the Premier League, nine points behind the leader Manchester City.
