EPL: Real reason Unai Emery dropped Ozil against Crystal Palace revealed

Arsenal manager, Unai Emery, dropped Mesut Ozil from his starting XI against Bournemouth, after being disappointed by his contribution in last month’s draw against Crystal Palace.
Ozil has started 10 Premier League fixtures this season, but was named on the bench in Sunday’s victory over the Cherries.
Emery used all three substitutions at Dean Court, but left the 30-year-old on the bench.
After the match, the Spaniard played down Ozil’s absence, saying: “Every player is important. We thought about how we can be better in the match today, with a very demanding match physically with their intensity against us and we came to that decision.”
But, according to the Daily Mirror, Emery made his decision after being left disappointed by Ozil’s contribution in the 2-2 draw at Selhurst Park last month.
It is claimed Ozil now faces the prospect of spending more time on the bench under Emery, a manager who demands a high work-rate of every one of his players.

Tottenham Coach, Pochettino Lays Foundation For Real Madrid Job

Mauricio Pochettino has already laid the foundations for his departure from Tottenham as reports link him with the vacant Real Madrid manager's role, according to former Manchester United defender Gary Neville. Spurs lost 1-0 to Manchester City at Wembley on Monday , a result that leaves them fifth in the Premier League, five points behind Pep Guardiola's men. The club failed to spend any money whatsoever in the summer, not recruiting a single player, while the likes of Liverpool and Chelsea both spent over £100 million ($131.5m). The Reds and the Blues, along with City, are unbeaten thus far this season, with the title race likely to feature at least three key players. And Neville thinks that, eventually, Pochettino will want to join a club that can give him the resources he needs to compete at the very top of the game, whether that is in England or further afield as rumours persist that he could replace Julen Lopetegui at Santiago Bernabeu .
