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."
