Arsenal must try to maximise their star's potentially decisive ability more often, though he must join the others in doing the defensive work
Unai Emery wants Mesut Ozil to be "demanding" for Arsenal and has employed his star man to join in on the defensive work in each match as the coach seeks to revive the fortunes of the mercurial playmaker.
After initially shining brightly in north London following his move from Real Madrid in 2013, Ozil has struggled for consistency in recent seasons.
The 29-year-old German, who retired from international duty after the World Cup amid allegations of discriminatory treatment , has continued to be the subject of intense scrutiny at club level.
