PIC OF THE DAY: Mertesacker caught in shocking act for athlete of his size
Per Mertesacker may not sleep well tonight.
The German was unable to help deal with the corner-kick which saw Martin Skrtel head in that late equalizer against Arsene Wenger’s side.
27 points is the lowest #AFC has ever had at this stage of the year in #BPL since 1998/99 season when that was enough to be in 2nd place

Mertesacker was found dodging as Martin Skrtel wrestled the Arsenal defense to plant a header into the back of the net.
But does Arsenal’s 6′ 6″ defender really deserve this criticism?
Wenger keep on buying timid ‘men’ to play in our defence. Season on season it has always been our number one weakness – the defense that let’s us down, especially against the bIg teams were we crumble like chickens.
Make no apology, the images sums up Arsenal’s defense. This image should be posted in Wenger’s office. Maybe at long last he will get a clearer picture of what we have been watching for a very long time.
why does Wenger continue to play Mertesacker if we dont benefit from his height ?? after all he is slow. Its high time Wenger seriously considers a long term replacement. At least he needs to be rested in some of the games. He should start to introduce the new defender piecemeal.
Wenger has run out of ideas. He has taken the team to its lowest this season. Until he is replaced it will always be a brilliant game followed by a pathetic performance. To save Arsenal we need to get rid of Wenger. Sad but has to be done.
kin useless has cost us results no end get rid BFGW
