Match Reaction Bournemouth 0-2 Arsenal

[Master Splinter]

You settle for the absolute minimum like all AKBs.

You're actually using terms like AKB?

You really have lost it.

TBH.

I love Bif, but when Walcott plays up front, Alexis, Ozil and Ramsey look like different players. We are far more dynamic, aggressive and unpredictable. All our best performances have occurred when Walcott was up front. FA Cup final, Leicester away, United at home.

Giroud is a great option against lesser teams at home and coming off the bench. But it's so easy to nullify a one-paced attack and it constantly invites pressure onto us with no outlet available. It obviously doesn't help that Coquelin and Cazorla have been out, but having a better-functioning attack could have made up for the midfield somewhat in recent games.

Sure, we'd all like a better functioning attack.

But we don't have one.

That's what they are. Doesn't matter how low the standard slips, it's acceptable. Classic Wenger.

Yeah he's been great, got to give credit where it's due a very good signing. Didn't require much homework to find out he'd be better than what we had or that he was pretty decent tho.

There was a fair amount of scepticism about his current level before we signed him and on the whole and in fairness it was understandable to an extent. That Wenger went for Cech at all, a player he had almost every reason to believe was an impossible signing is to his credit.

It's a pity he ignored other areas......and I think he needs reminding of the very fortuitous circumstances in which Flamini ended up back here in the first place. Training with his old club to get his fitness levels up and a couple years down the line he's the first choice in our midfield in the thick of a title challenge.

Should've bought Lacazette in the Summer

Sackable offence

He should have signed Aubemeyang but hindsight is a great thing. He should certainly sign him before Bayern eventually do.

Very much agree on that summation of Walcott.....and the part perhaps most forgotten is his seemingly catalysing influence on Sanchez.

And the little planet sized point you are missing is that if we play that way next week or if the moron picks the same team, then we have no chance of winning and the title is gone. See how these things are connected?

So now you're complaining about what will happen in our NEXT game if...?
Give it a rest. This thread is a match reaction thread to THIS game. We couldn't afford to drop any points today, we didn't. So my reaction to this result is "oh, good".
Whatever the performance was like, we got the result and in today's game we just had to do that.
Next week is another game, I'll react to that one accordingly depending on what happens then.

We get it. You want Wenger sacked. You are not the only one of that opinion. Do you have to mention that or allude to it and insult him in EVERY post? Really is very dull.

Found a 2 minute patch to hide behind and claim the high ground from - did you? A stream of shite performances and guess we mustn't talk about. Ooh look, nice weather we're having. Gobble, gobble.

QED

[Chippy]

Wenger out while it can still be rescued.

Agreed! That was a poor performance against a fairly poor side. We will get spit roasted at OT and Shite Fuck Lane. Why does he play Flamini?

I have literally no idea what that means.
As I said this is the match reaction thread. We won a game we just had to win, by all accounts it wasn't a good performance, we're a side struggling for form so any win is welcome right now.

A stream of shite performances and guess we mustn't talk about.

That isn't what you're talking about, you're not talking 'about' anything, it's just a constant stream of whining and WUMming.

Ooh look, nice weather we're having. Gobble, gobble.

Again, no idea what that is even supposed to mean.

I am glad we won but I am completely sure we will not win the league and have been since before the start of this season.

We have this tendency to buckle under pressure and only when the pressure is reduced do we start winning again.

We need a manager who can give confidence, belief and even a bit of arrogance, Wenger is not that man.

I hope we beat Leicester and those Spuds but if we are top in March we will fold tamely, we always do now every year.
