Mertesacker has been a neutral this game. He's practically been strolling around knowing he's helpless in the last 3 goals. His lack of pace can't be compensated in every game.
i think the main thing he has to address is the constant lacklustre starts we have . Always totally asleep for the beginning of ALL matches. Today it cost as the game was gone within 20 mins . Wenger is such a tool . But he aint gonna change now. No chance
As someone just mentioned, I feel like the guy on Saving Private Ryan wandering around the beach looking for his arm.
Goal difference by now is moot. City and Liverpool have the two best strikers in the league by a mile so will have easily the two best GD in the league. Chelsea and Arsenal will come next by keeping clean sheets against most teams below 5th place.
