MESUT OZIL has been left out Arsenal’s matchday squad for the fifth game on the bounce.
The midfielder will not feature in the clash against Vitoria SC after he was spotted having a tense talk with Unai Emeryyesterday.
After their intense chat, Ozil appeared to aim a cheeky dig at the manager as he tweeted “you make me laugh”.
And he wished former boss Arsene Wenger happy birthday on Instagram after he was dropped for the defeat to Sheffield United.
The 350,000-per-week star has made just two appearances for the Gunners this season.
And he has failed to make the cut as the Gunners look to extend their perfect run in the Europa League.
After the team was announced on Twitter, one fan replied: “Ozil not starting again? #EmeryOut.”
Another user questioned: “Just trying to figure out why Emery is still not playing Ozil when he’s the highest paid player on the team. Please someone please just tell me why.”
Emery told fans this week to remember how bad the club were under the management of Arsene Wenger before they criticise him.
But one Twitter user said: “Emery Out. Clueless manager is making me not want to watch Arsenal. Wenger may have made bad decisions but this is just a whole new level of bad.”
Nicolas Pepe, who has scored just one goal since his 72million arrival, has been dropped to the bench for the match.
And fans were delighted to see Kieran Tierney and Hector Bellerin both starting at the back.
