Gilberto Silva, a title-winning star of Arsenal\u2019s past, says Arsene Wenger should have walked away from the club in 2017 and Unai Emery needs to start playing Mesut Ozil.<\/p>\n

The Gunners have seen the 2018-19 campaign become one of much change in north London.<\/p>\n

A switch in the dugout was made last summer, with Emery taking the reins after 22 years of stability and continuity under Wenger.<\/p>\n

The Brazilian, who formed part of Arsenal\u2019s \u2018Invincibles\u2019 in 2003-04, told talkSPORT<\/em>: \u201cWhen Arsenal won the FA Cup against Chelsea that was a good moment for Arsene (to leave) in my mind.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut, of course, I know Arsene very well, he is a football man.\u00a0He loves the game, and he loves Arsenal.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou have to respect someone like that and let him leave on his own terms.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt the time when he won the FA Cup it was also difficult to find someone to replace him.\u201d<\/p>\n

Arsenal eventually settled on former Sevilla and Paris Saint-Germain boss Emery.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\u201cA player of his calibre cannot be on the bench, in my opinion.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople are always trying to find something to talk about Ozil \u2013 why is he not playing and, when he is playing, why is he not playing well?<\/p>\n

\u201cThis kind of player, you have to give them responsibilities. What\u2019s the best way to give him responsibility? Put him on the field!<\/p>\n

\u201cRight now it\u2019s down to the manager. It\u2019s a good challenge for Unai.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat\u2019s the best setup for the team? Why not find a way for the team to play and find a place for him, where he can be important for the team?<\/p>\n

\u201cI think for Arsenal fans it\u2019s difficult to see him on the bench.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
