Come on Arsenal.
Cech, Bellerin, Mustafi, Koscielny, Monreal, Coquelin, Xhaka, Ramsey, Iwobi, Alexis, Giroud
Walcott and Ozil still out...while I'm happy that I had the foresight to drop them from my FPL team, I'm fearful that Theo's might be a bit more long term
Please can we have an easy win, feeling a bit crook and can't take too much anxiety.
Not sure about Ramsey wide. Why not try him with Xhaka in the middle then play Ox wide? But surely Perez can start another game?
He's easing Giroud back into a starting spot, isn't he?
Looks like it.
Come on Arsenal
Bournemouth: Boruc, Francis, Cook, Ake, Daniels, Arter, Gosling, Stanislas, King, Fraser, Wilson.
On Afobe:

The official explanation from Bournemouth for Benik Afobe's absence is that he has not received international clearance from the Democratic Republic of Congo for him to feature, having withdrawn from their Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) squad - the latest twist in a stop-start international career.
Born in Leyton, Afobe represented his native England up to Under-21 level, but chose to switch allegiance to DR Congo last year - only for his debut to be cancelled. Having travelled to Africa in November, he was unable to play after the English FA sent his paperwork to the "wrong" Congo.
Now, having decided to withdraw from the Afcon to concentrate on his club career, a lack of clearance has meant that while he is still uncapped at full international level, he can't play for his club tonight.
Iwobi had the ball on the edge of the box and there was nobody in it.
Decent enough shot from King but Cech saw it all the way.
Stanislas hammers it but straight at Cech really.
Bournemouth not reading my script
Xhaka's corner. :doh:
We'll be conceding, maybe more than once, if we keep "defending" like this. So much space, even inside our box.
Would have liked to see Ox start tonight, he looked bright against Palace.
What a dreadful waste of a corner.
If we are going to play Giroud up top, we need to cross lots of balls, preferably on his bonce.
Cech. :bow:
I do like Iwobi, I hope we don't ruin him.
That's the difference between having Oliver on the pitch and Dean. With the latter we'd be a goal and a man down now.
Cech got the ball, shut up Bournemouth fans
Absolutely. Oliver one of the few decent refs around.
Well done Ramsey. :doh:
1-0 Daniels.
Good defending guys.
Bellerin had a shocker there.
Nobody in the RB popsition
Near post again Cech
:rolleyes:
Title challengers :haha:
Awful from Bellerin.
This is not doing my mild illness any good. They just have not looked at my script.
On the cards since kick off. We aren't defending, and those immense gaps on the flank that Wenger's loves so much have cost us yet again. In 12 years he will spot this problem and make it worse.
The sad thing is, we don't even look like we can score, their box is packed and we have no idea how to get through them
Pelanty. Xhaka, WTF man?
Fucking stupid.
2-0 Wilson. Good work guys.
Howe has quickly figured out how to route right around our midfield and get the ball upfield quickly. Xhaka and Ramsey are watching it happen. Not an ounce of initiative between the pair.
Pen B'mouth.
More crappy play from Xhaka.
Deffo pen and I'm surprised one of our players wasn't booked leading up to that as well
