#4. Mesut Ozil watch as German continues dividing opinion
After making comments this week stressing he's happy to stay at Arsenal for the duration of his existing contract, Mesut Ozil returned to Emery's starting eleven with another big European game awaiting his presence.
His inclusion was no coincidence: the German playmaker's absence at Leicester last weekend through a foot injury meant he'd have more time to recover with Valencia in town this week, while any "missing" narratives surrounding Mesut were banished after the Gunners' 3-0 defeat at the King Power.
Regardless of his contractual situation and the fact Emery doesn't seem too keen on retaining him in the long-term, it's clear that they perform better with him orchestrating from the number ten role.
He did so again on this occasion - rather subtly at times - but ensured his presence was felt nonetheless. His hold-up play, intelligent movement and spatial awareness were all keys in helping build attacks as Arsenal grew in confidence, particularly for Lacazette's first strike.
Substituted after 73 minutes for an ineffective Henrikh Mkhitaryan, there are still some doubters who believe he's not suited to the "dirty work" and fight attached to away games. Nonetheless, it's nice to see him return with another encouraging showing.
