Ozil played as well![]()
We also apparently played QPR on Tuesday and won 4-3?
Covid is really fucking with the ability to see and find out about friendlies.
On the plus side Dani played so it doesn’t look like he has to quarantine

I wonder if Ozil’s recent social media activity and his appearance in the friendly means he’s going to feature again.
My guess is he's winning the battle with Arteta, whose 'work hard in training or you're out ' mantra has worked on everyone else but Ozil has just sat tight, knowing they can't shift him so he'll need to be used again
It would indeed be great if suddenly he clicked, and we know he can, but I'd agree with those who say we've had too many false dawns with Ozil for it to be that likely
I saw a theory going round a few weeks ago that Raul might have had more to do with Özil being frozen out than Arteta? The logic was that he was being selected before lockdown, but then disappeared once the disaster of no match day income and tv revenue started to become a reality, and it became more urgent to get him off the wage bill?
Not sure I believe that myself - this feels more like a simple olive branch being offered - but I dare say this will add fuel to that rumour.
