Whole Arsenal squad shares the blame - Mertesacker

Per Mertesacker maintains the whole Arsenal team must take collective blame for failing to hold onto a 3-0 lead against Anderlecht which blew chances of early qualification for the Champions League knockout stages.

The Gunners looked to be cruising towards the last 16 after Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain added to first-half goals from Mikel Arteta, a penalty, and Alex Sanchez, who netted another superb goal strike his initial free-kick was blocked.
