i'm sorry but this is completely untrue
the ball was on our right side and koscielny was all the way on the left side of the pitch
he was completely at fault
mert was positioned fine for the ball down the line koscielny however wasnt positioned to intercept a ball through the middle
mert having to catch aubameyang up is ludicrous to say the least a defenders job isnt to catch people up it is to prevent the danger in the first place.
As someone who has played cb at semi pro level if my cb partner was positioned where kos was positioned i'd be livid.
Maybe you can say arteta should have dropped into the space, but even then i'd say that the reason there was such a huge gap between our cbs was down to kos' woeful positioning.
