Neither do I, I suspect it's another excuse to give Ozil breathing space...it remains to be seen whether the masses swallow it up because it sounds like hogwash to me.

I do think there is an element of truth in Wenger giving him an easy ride though, he's a good player but would be under immense pressure at any of our rivals to deliver top class performances on a weekly basis.
