Reporters think Arsenal are built on defence. The secret sauce is culture. You can't buy that. You have to build it. Merino answers brilliantly on the competition in the best midfield in the world, and the resposibility and mentality of the squad players.

Thank God more people are finally calling it what it is. It shouldn’t take this long for people to speak up, especially when the same behaviour is so quickly condemned whenever an Arsenal player does it.

Max Scott, fair play to you for having the courage to call it exactly as you see it. We need more people willing to speak up instead of dancing around the truth. Mac Allister’s behaviour was embarrassing. Cheating, gamesmanship and a complete lack of sportsmanship. Call it what it is.
