Paul Merson insists Arsenal did not play well in their match against Fleetwood Town after they were beaten and dumped out of the League Cup last night.
The Gunners have been one of the top teams in the country for decades, and they won the last Premier League title, so many people had written off Fleetwood even before a ball was kicked.
Arsenal players also seem to have psychologically written off their opponents before the game, as their performances suggested that they were not prepared for a tough battle.
