Vermaelen backs boss Wenger

Arsenal captain Thomas Vermaelen has been shocked
by calls for Arsene Wenger's head and insists he
remains the right man for the job.
Vermaelen called on his team-mates to get behind
their under-fire manager after Tuesday's UEFA
Champions League defeat to Bayern Munich left the
north London club facing, barring a miracle, an eighth
straight season without any silverware.
Wenger's side are already out of the title race, both
domestic cup competitions, and face a mountain to
climb after losing 3-1 at home to Bayern in their first
leg of their last-16 tie.
"Of course we're behind him," said Vermaelen. "He's
done a lot for this club. He still does a lot of hard work
with us. He is the right man for the job.
"We have to show it on the pitch as well. At the
moment the results are not good. But we will work hard
with him to get the results back.
"Everyone in football looks too short term. They don't
look at the long term, and he's done a lot for this club.
"It doesn't mean that because it's not going well at the
moment we don't stand behind him.
"You have to look at the long term. He is the right man
for this club and we are all behind him."
