Oh please Iwobi have a ***** shot ...what is with this team pass pass pass pass pass

Wilshere playing very well

Lacazette hardly in the game, very little service....but I think he should be starting to manufacture something for himself, get himself involved

His confidence is shot to pieces. He doesn't believe in the lie Wenger is selling and looks to his flanks and sees Welbeck on one side and Iwobi on the other. He knows the delivery isn't there and when he sees a break with 4 v 4 and Bellerin still doesn't put it in the box he's simply wonders why he should bother trying at all.

Maitland-Niles having a mare.

Iwobi very lucky to get away with a handball from a free kick. Wasn’t brave enough to head it and sort of thrust his elbow out at it.

Arsenal totally dominant for 40 mins and then Bournemouth create one chance and almost score

So pretty much how Sanchez has felt.

How utterly pointless is it to sign class players and then surround them with dross!

agree

This is absolutely awful football to watch. Any time there is any semblance of pressure on our back 3 in possession and it goes long straight through to their gk.
We’ve had a lot of the ball but haven’t looked like opening them up at all.

It’s got 0-0 or 1-0 Bournemouth written all over it

So much possession, so little to show for it.

Such is our lack of quality in the final third that you just know that any move is going to fizzle out once it reaches th edge of their box.

Jack superb but we really are a very average side now, compounded by the absence of Alexis and Özil.

Classic 45 minutes of tikka takka Wenger ball.

No wonder Lacazette is pissed off. It's pointless him being on the pitch.

Can't see us scoring from open play, gonna have to be a set piece.

3 first half goals away all season according to sky, absolutely disgraceful

Yeah, it feels like the club and not just the team are in transition.

Steve Claridge is on bbc commentary, he’s saying Wilshere has to do a lot more before he can be considered to even be on the plane for the World Cup.
Now if there was some competition for places in the midfield I might agree with him, but England have dier, Henderson, Delph, Livermore....as his competition.
To me it seems Wilshere is judged more harshly than the others. He’s been the games best player again today.

A swarm of stingless bees Soc .... plenty of activity buzzing here there and everywhere with so little end product .... our long passing is woeful .
Wilshere the only one on the pitch with some invention . Bellerin I'd like to throttle .... the prime waster of opportunities .

Lacazette thinking "why didn't I stay in France "

Looking forward to us grabbing a glorious 1 - 0 win and Arsene saying we played with great spirit against a very good Bournemouth side ..... Jeeez I've become such a cynic

Nearly 3.30 am here I'm taking the safe option and going back to bed

He has easily

Without him your relying on Xhaka, Welbeck and Iwobi conjuring up a piece of magic for Lacazette. Doesn't bear thinking about. Just a bog average mid table side

This team is just so ordinary. And as I write that Bellerin scores

Bellerin! 1-0

First incisive pass of the game

Bellerin did you say?

Goal *%^@ defending by Bournmouth

And Bellerin scores !!!!!!

Credit to iwobi for the inch perfect through ball.

Iwobi has played much better today. There is still much room for improvement though. The build up to the goal was much faster than the normal Arsenal play.

Xhaka booked. Now there's a surprise

Jack on for Xhaka would improve the game. Maybe either Theo or Eddie too..................

I've said it before - Čech is past it

And 1 all now.

Jeez Čech what are you doing?

HEY ARSENE LOOK WHAT CAN HAPPEN WHEN YOU PUT A SPECULATIVE BALL IN THE BOX!!!

1 attacker v 2 defenders

Can’t defend. 4 men chase the same ball.

So many chances to deliver the killer blow. Did anyone really have any hope that we would keep a clear sheet here.

Nonsense - Arsene said he has 5 more years in him.

6th at best for this team. Mid table for the foreseeable future beckons.

Comedy club


Banter

Our only hope of winning a game away from Home is to score very very late. As soon as we score we just invite the opposition to turn it up a notch and we can’t cope

6th for us. Miles off the best teams. Closer to Leicester in quality than anyone above us

Ho hum. 2-1 down

Oh my - and a 1 nil lead = gone now ...

He's slow, ponderous, makes too many bad decisions, and hasn't saved a penalty.

Didn't save that one either

As mentioned, Čech is past it. Majority of the team is past it. Majority of those coming in, are not going to make it at the top level.

Manager is definitely past it. And therein lies the reason we are where we are today.

2-1

Dismal. Ordinary. Uninspiring. Ineffective. Team of journeymen.

Just seen Sanchez walking in at Anfield behind Pep.
