Arsenal fans are increasingly worried about the performance of their £130k per week star, Mikel Merino, following his lackluster display in the 3-1 Premier League win over Brentford on New Year’s Day.

The Gunners were able to maintain pressure on Liverpool and stay in second place in the Premier League table, thanks to goals from Merino and Gabriel Martinelli, but fans are growing frustrated with Merino’s inconsistent form.

Arsenal’s preparations for the match were disrupted by a virus that kept Kai Havertz out of the game, and Declan Rice also struggled with injury.
