Arsenal club captain Per Mertesacker believes that the squad are partially responsible for Arsene Wenger being out of the job in the summer.
Wenger has chosen to walk away from Arsenal after 22 years at the club. There are suggestions he was told by the club's board that he must walk or he would be fired in the summer.
Mertesacker spoke about the situation with the club's official website and had the following to say:
"We sit here in one boat and we have not been that successful over the past couple of years. We won trophies, we won the FA Cup, but in terms of achieving Champions League football every season we have not done it," he said.
"In terms of top-four finishes, we are not able to achieve it this season. We have been outperformed by other teams and you have to admit that.
"There are a lot of people responsible, not only the manager. It has not sunk in enough to say we are guilty, but we are as well responsible for the situation."
