Arsenal boss Unai Emery believes Mesut Özil and Aaron Ramsey help give his Arsenal side more flexibility.

The Gunners can go up to third in the Premier League with a win on Monday night and Emery believes the two midfielders are an important reason behind the team’s recent good form.

“I think we are taking a good performance using a different system and different players,” said the Gunners boss.

“For example, we started the last two matches playing 3-4-1-2.

“But we finished it playing 3-4-3, with players helping us in the 90th minute with a different system and different positions.”

Speaking about Özil and Ramsey, Emery then explained how he’s used the pair this season.

“At first I used information from last year or the last two years. Mesut can play like a No 10 player, or starting on the right or left, in a different system, and he has a good mentality.

“And also Aaron Ramsey can play in a system with two or three midfielders, getting more in the opposition box.

“I used this information with this player and I think this player’s mind is very open to help us, to play in different positions and give us a big performance. He has a very good attitude to do that.”
