Wenger blames Mertesacker's poor positioning in Champions League clash. The UEFA champions league roared to life last night and the Gunners were in fine form as
they managed to watch all the matches at the same time thanks to Xhaka's work rate who ensured every television screen was working. However,PerMertesacker was caught off position the whole night as he would sit in front making it difficult for players like Bellerin to also watch the match,
and Arsene Wenger was not impressed. "We agreed with the players before kick off that
if you know you are tall you should sit behind." fumed the Arsenal boss. "Its an aspect he needs to improve on, we will
work on that in training as we prepare to watch future Champions League matches"
Meanwhile, the magician Mesut Ozil managed to register 4 assists in one night, a record previously held by Manchester United's Ander Herrera last season. He assisted on passing the remote twice,
sharing popcorn and getting Arsene Wenger his jacket when it started to get cold. Alexis Sanchez could not make it to the
squad as he said his neck was not feeling well.This saw Lacazette and Welbeck starting
up front as their pace could be used to swiftly switch on the generator in case of a power cut.
