Andy528. going back to your point about Mertesacker and him being Head of the Academy or whatever position h’s been given from next season. Why do you think he’s a good bet for this club? I thought him to be a truly awful player ( last year’s Cup Final apart). I know his 90+ caps and all that for Germany but for the most part his displays were embarrassingly bad. His positioning was very suspect, he hardly ever jumped for headers, turned his back on shots, never seemed to communicate with his defence let alone his goalkeeper and never took responsibility as a leader or even captain should. I recall all those heavy away defeats one season to the leading teams in the Premiership where many of the goals conceded stemmed from him losing the ball on the half-way line. Now he could have been playing to instructions, but I doubt it as Wenger doesn’t do that, so why did he continue to make the most mistakes? My last memory of him watching at the ground was our 0-2 loss to Barcelona a couple of years ago. After the match he indicated that our loss was down to our missing a few chances when actually he was responsible for both their goals. Now if this sorry excuse of a player is in charge of our kids, what’s to look forward to?!
