Ramsdale 7 - Not much he could do for either goal but prevented us from going 2-0 down in the first half


Tomoyasu 5 - So much space for Bournemouth down those flanks


Saliba 6 - Tidied up a few attacking moments but generally not great


Gabriel 6 - Same as Saliba, not aggressive enough when Bournemouth attacked


Zinchenko 2 - Utter cunt, wanted him dropped more than Xhaka. So passive for the first goal. He’s not a full back stop playing him there



Vieira 5 - Tried but ultimately performance as palid and anaemic as he looks


Partey 6 - He knew he fucked up for their second goal but drove forward with determination to atone for being a lazy shit from that corner


Odegaard 7 - Our best player from an attacking sense first half, lots of effort even if not much to show for it



Martinelli 6 - Not great considering his recent form


Saka 5 - The usual attacking guile was there just very poor end product


Trossard 6 - Looked dangerous until he came off injured



Subs

Smith Rowe 5 - Looks every inch a player who hasn’t seen regular football in well over a year

White 7 - Being dropped seems to inject some life into him


Xhaka 6 - Looked marginally better than Vieira which wouldn’t be hard


Nelson 8 - Been a while since a sub has had that much impact for us, but definitely best player on the pitch today


What a fucking shambles, don’t get me wrong I’m really pleased we won but why on earth did we conspire to make it so difficult for ourselves. Bournemouth are shit, the table doesn’t lie…yet we made such a meal out of today it’s untrue.
Glad we aren’t playing for another week, because there’s so much shit to sift through its unbelievable
Yes I think we showed character to come back and win the game, but there’s no doubt in my mind if we were playing a better side. A team like one of the teams we still have to play at the Emirates like Brighton or Palace we would have been completely and utterly fucked.
