Former Arsenal striker Paul
Merson slammed their performance in defeat at Champions League opponents
Borussia Dortmund. Dortmund mustered 23 shots on goal compared to just one for
Arsenal and Merson was alarmed by the frailties throughout the side.
“It was poor, simple as that. They were well beaten all
over the pitch from one to 11,” he said.
“They got closed down, they weren’t
allowed to play and they let the other team play. You could turn around and say
Danny Welbeck could have had a hat-trick because he had three good chances, but
Dortmund had nine or 10 good chances. That’s not good enough,
not for Arsenal.
“We were sitting here beforehand saying they could win
the league… but watching that they were a ‘gillion’
miles away from anything."
