Wenger agreed with reporters after Arsenal’s 2-0 win over Hull City that Ozil has been struggling in recent weeks.
The experinced manager’s selection decision has been made tougher following the form of Lucas Perez and Danny Welbeck’s return from injury.
“I felt he was not completely confident technically,” Wenger stated according to the Telegraph.
“That’s a problem because you think he can deliver something special. He did things that he is not used to doing.
“He needs to find confidence again. He misses chances that don’t look unfeasible.”
