This is why making Vermealen captain was a bad idea. You never make someone who isn't the best in the position a starter.
Mertesacker has been our best defender and unfortunately gets dropped by Wenger, when in reality the correct decision would have been to keep Vermelean on the bench and stick with the two that started against City.
Gervinho needs to not have a shocker this week ...... if it looks like last week Wenger needs to get him of asap and bring on Theo. Sure Gervinho has potential but we can't keep affording him chances to screw up, especially in important matches.
I would have started Theo myself.
