Mertesacker Doesn't Want Early Kick-Offs for Arsenal.....PER, STOP YOUR BITCHIN'
Don't. It makes things so much worse if you say this. EARLY KICK-OFFS ARE TO BLAME? REALLY? For some strange reason, Mertesacker has come out to say that the reason why they have been getting SHANKED is all down to not having enough beauty sleep.
Other teams, LESSER teams, who don't have the same talent Arsenal have, don't have the same problem. They have played City, Chelsea and Arsenal away and have NOT been embarrassed as Arsenal have done.
UNLESS, perhaps Arsenal's players are unique and they have a special genetic code that makes them susceptible to playing early....on Saturdays. If that is the case, then okay. BUT HELL NO, it is not the case at all and as one of the captains, Mertesacker should NEVER say such a thing because it just makes him and Arsenal look really bad and as Mourinho pointed out...."cry-babies."
It's mental thing as well as a tactical thing. With each big game, Arsenal feel that pressure NOT to fuck up, and they end up fucking up. Then you have Wenger who could give two shits about tactics, and what you have are the spankings that you've been seeing.
It is so bad and hard to grasp for Mertesacker, because they are a top four team. It does not make logical sense for a team like Arsenal to be so exposed and beaten up, whereas Stoke or Sunderland don't get taken out in such a way.
Stop the excuses, play better and smarter.
