Arsenal threw away leads against Anderlecht and Swansea City recently and have been criticised for the lack of stability in their rearguard area – potentially leading to a £10m move for Man United outcast Chris Smalling, who was branded as ‘stupid’ by manager Louis van Gaal for his Manchester derby red card recently.
