Unai Emery is running the risk of making Arsenal fans “twitchy” over a lack of progress in the Mesut Ozil situation, according to former Gunner Lee Dixon.

The German has only made one start for the club since Boxing Day, with a variety of illness and injury issues blamed for his absences.

Emery has challenged the playmaker to produce the consistency required to keep him in the side but Dixon thinks that, having already proven that he isn’t going to be pushed around by Ozil, Emery now has to get hold of the situation.

“It’s going to take time,” Dixon told the 5 Live Football Daily podcast .

“I know it’s an easy thing to say, but a new manager coming in has got to be given time as well and he’s had his handcuffs on as well behind his back, he’s got the problem with Ozil.

“I thought he’s dealt with the Ozil situation pretty well, to be honest, with the media situation and how it’s been. How he’s talked about it and how he’s left him out.

“But now the fans have started to get twitchy saying: ‘look, you’ve done that little bit of keeping him out the side and then trying to educate him on what is needed to get in the side, but we don’t care anymore.

“We just want some quality in there.

“Because they’ve seen the likes of Alexis [Sanchez] leaving the club, and they’ve seen Ramsey leaving in the summer, and they’re now looking and saying: ‘where is the creativity from midfield?’

“That’s a real big problem for Arsenal at the moment.”
