but were still f***ked out of 3 points by the ref

Such bull Bournemouth deserved at least 1 if not 2 more pens than they got.

Had we just turned up would of been different result.Would of just won it.

[Mike Dean]

played like shit, but were still f***ked out of 3 points by the ref

What did the ref do? Missed most of the game.

Gave them the penalty on Xhaka's push.

But then did not give us a foul when Bellerin was pushed similarly and the player went on and scored.

Bollocks did they. They deserve what they should get, ie 2 legit goals. That's all.

What next? It doesn't matter if a goal is offside if it's a certified banger?

[indy23]

Seriously if u can justify starting iwobi over goal scorer thats just unacceptable. Also Ox literally makes it seem like we have 10 men.

[island_gunner]

As Wrighty just said it's not Character coming from 3-0 down because their Character n lack of effort to start the game was Terrible and should never be 3 down to Bournemouth.

And that is the bottom line. Could not agree more, what a terrible result

[realtalk]

Imagine we had started with that kind of intensity.

Thats why i said terrible prep. Whoever does the warm up needs serious slap and talking too. Bournmouth were in gear 4.5.6. from kick off. We looked liek we didnt even warm up or do any runs. I dont understand how pro outfit dont do proper warm up.Bournmouth were motoring from the go we could'nt even touch them.

Warm up is serious business.

[Cripps]

Didn't get excited at all. Wenger has killed it.

Just f**k off. More importantly, are people blaming the ref?

[Bixer]

All that comeback does is gloss over the fact that that was an absolutely shite result.

A win tomorrow sees Chelsea 12 points ahead of us.

He's had his chance, final year of his contract, it's barely even January and Wenger's bottled the league again. Thanks for the memories, but you've gotta go.

Blatant foul on Bellerin not given for their third goal

[immsun]

We can't even beat shit teams.Forget title. I am so disappointed right now. We scored 3 goals just like that.

Alexis face tells some story. He is mad at the team.

[Hulkibulk]

Alexis should leave. Wenger destroy him mentally. When the manager is weak mentally, over time the players will become mentally weak aswell and then its 50/50 who will comit suicide. Wenger has to go before he destroy every single arsenal player.

[Krigaren]

The only things that makes me happy is that Sanchez steped up bigtime. He was a beast in the second half and you could tell he was pissed and wanted to win.
If everyone would have played with his energy we would win every game.

Also Giroud and Perez looks great. I dont get at all why Ramsey and Iwobi started ahead of him nor why Ox was substituted infront of him.
I think he showed last game he can play winger np and take the defensive responsibility aswell.

[CrimsonGunner11]

WOW.

What.

A.

Game.

I was listening in the whole time on a radio. Before I read through the thread and watch the highlights, I want to just post this for anyone who missed it before the game:

Bournemouth are like a mini version of Liverpool. They work hard and they will press us as long as they can. We will need to start players who are comfortable in tight spaces, good at playing 1-2s, and good at making runs off the ball. As good as Giroud has been recently, not sure starting him in this will be a good idea as he doesn't defend too well from the front and we will be inviting pressure onto ourselves. With that said, staring him plus Ozil (if fit) is a big No. Considering Sanchez played the full match just two days ago, I'd start Sanchez up front for this instead of out wide so that he doesn't have to run around too much. On one side of the wings, I'll definitely start Iwobi again. On the other side, I'd probably give it to Lucas. 4-3-3 with Ozil out wide should also be considered here if Ozil's fit.

I know it will probably look like I’m scapegoating Giroud but I don’t think we drop points today had we matched their fire with fire of our own. Granted Giroud scored but how was he before the comeback? I’m willing to bet he didn’t offer much. Giroud is good against certain opposition and also has his moments of brilliance in games but the problem is that they come in patches. Over a 90-minute match, most of the time, he hinders us because we’re not fully maximizing our time on the pitch. Maybe I’m wrong about my assessment of Giroud today but, right or wrong, I really hope this match will serve as a powerful reminder or even a warning to Wenger that there is no easy game in the PL. You get even a half of a fraction of your tactics wrong and it will cost you
