Bournemouth vs Arsenal, 19:45 SS1 03/01/17

Xhaka's completely lost the plot. He's massively overcompensating and making things worse.

[Goonermerree]

Yeah, we're tired, we're exhausted, it's unfair, we'll do our best but it is impossible. It's a great way to psyche the team up for a battle.

Especially since we had the 4th best fixtures. After tonight we only play one match a week until about the 15th Feb, unless we have an FA cup replay!

[Goonermerree]

Bournemouth look organised we're like headless chuck, rabbits in the headlight.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Coquelin's hamstring has gone.

One of the players that didn't play on Sunday, of course.

[Goonermerree]

Ox warming up

[selassie]

Xhaka 35 million down the drain i see

We would have been much better off spending 29mill on Kante. Obviously he's a totally different type of player but one who would have actually improved our midfield.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Coquelin off, Ox coming on.

[Goonermerree]

Coquelin's hamstring has gone.

One of the players that didn't play on Sunday, of course.

He came on for 5 mins!!!

[Niall_Quinn]

We were always destined to struggle once Ramsey's name was in the starting line up..

Nah. It's Giroud, we're down to 10 when he plays because he offers absolutely nothing. Of course Ramsey is no Ozil either and Alexis might as well be on the bench when Ozil's not around.

Tragically, we need the kid Iwobi to step up to rescue this. He's our best option. He has until the 68th minute.

Is that ho much Kante cost Chelsea?
