That was hard going.
At least Bournemouth cough up the usual three points for us.
Get this international shit done with and hopefully we can start to see more of the side we would hope to be.

We are in 3rd, 1 point behind City
This is such a poor quality league.
They need to learn how to defend.
I was watching it and with 2 minutes to go they were after another goal, at that point they need to keep the ball because if Bournemouth get one then that is the result as there is no time to respond.
Luiz saved Arsenal at least once near the end.
Its 3 points anyway, look what happen to city.
Solid for the first half. Seemingly half-asleep in the second.
Pepe and Ceballos still completely underwhelming.
Ozil and Ceballos are supposedly great technical link players and creators but the team is clearly better when Willock plays. How can Emery continually fail to see this? The personnel in this team means a classical playmaker isn't needed and a more direct, swift approach suits them better.
Guendouzi was everywhere again and was superb defensively today.
Chambers really impressive once more and our most dangerous attacking player.
Atkinson a cheating fuck as expected.
Tony Gale is currently still crying.
What is the point of Xhaka? What did he do today?
Arsene Wenger, the only football manager that got paid 8 million quid to do nothing but sit on his arse..
Dreary.
But 3 points at least.
Emery.
Another underwhelming performance from our so called "first team". The lineup was probably understandable except for the customary inclusion of the pointless Xhaka.
Chambers was probably MOTM- easily our best defender on the pitch today however I still can't help but feel that attackwise he gives us less than AMN and Bellerin.
In fact I think the whole teams ticks better when our fullbacks give us the kind of performance we got from Tierney and Bellerin on Thursday and not the static crap we were served with. Don't get me wrong, for now until Hector is 100%, Chambers should always start as he improves the defence but I would love Kolasnic to be dropped as he is getting as pointless as Xhaka.
Saka was average today. Had a real rough test but kept going, though probably should have been subbed.
The weakest cog in the attack was Pepe as usual. His story is turning out to be so much like Gervinho it's almost unbelievable. I don't think the automatic starts he's getting are helping either. Surely this situation must change when Laca is fit.
All and all, we are third, in a season where most top clubs are performing below par as predicted. I wonder what would have happened if we started this season with a more competent manager. Oh well....
He didn’t give away a penalty so that’s progress.Originally Posted by fakeyank
I'm just annoyed the ref didn't give him a yellow for his consistent fouling. It seems him wracking up 5 is our only hope for getting him out of the starting lineup for important games.
He'll get it against Palace and only miss the League Cup game.
