March Reaction V Bournemouth Away

[Gooner23]

It helps that Bournemouth were on the back foot, especially when down to 10 men.

I know it's harsh to only have 2 days rest but can Wenger really say he utilised the squad fully. The Ox on bench for both games for example, or Elneny not playing 90 on Sunday despite it being his last game before ACON.

On a positive note Perez has been a pleasant surprise this season, I think he would be well worth a run in the side.

Mental strength and 38 turn around mentioned several times in the interview.

The mentality at this club is exemplified by Giroud doing his dance after equalising. To his credit Ox was tugging on him to get back to the centre circle. If Giroud was playing for SAF. He would have 2 black eyes after the game. 2nd rate mentality rife all over the morons

[Blink 1nce Quince 2wice]

Is this a fucking joke?? I get home to see this???? Stunning comeback?? Who gives a shit, our title hopes are disintegrating before our eyes FFS!

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Eddie Howe did make mention of maximising the extra rest. I just feel that if you highlight something that to your players before a match you give the credence to being lethargic.

I think it was the wise man Pulis who said players are very easy to manipulate in that if you let it be known they should be tired, they will suddenly be tired.

Then I think he went on to talk about the mines.

We'll judge the spirit in May.

Perez shoots though. Can't see him making it at arsenal with actions like that

[Power n Glory]

Switched off and went out around the 60 minute mark. Missed all the goals. It's two points dropped. No idea why Wenger would try Ramsey as the number 10 when Iwobi played well in his last game. Why switch it up?

No excuse on rest because Ramsey has hardly played all season but left Bellerin out to dry for that first goal. Bellerin should have done better as well. Xhaka is a waste of money. No idea why we bought a long ball merchant that can't tackle, can't dribble and hardly scores.

Cech is getting beat way too easily. Shocking again for that 3rd goal. Be prepared to see more of this shite.

Plainly players are allowed to relax and set their own comfort zones at this club. Play when they want, skive when they fancy it, have whole seasons off, claim injury at the slightest twinge, it's one hell of an easy life at Wenger's Arsenal, that's for sure.

I wanted Vidal here because he'd be like Alexis, a self-motivator who wouldn't give a shit about Wenger's holiday camp attitude. Alexis gets the shit kicked out of him every game and he gets the hump if he's prevented from turning up for more. Giroud is getting the plaudits after this latest farce but it was Alexis who decided to put his foot down and start demonstrating the supposed gap between the millionaire internationals at this club and the honest but (supposedly) limited team from Bournemouth.

It was embarrassing the way they passed around us today as if we were the mid-table fillers. Even more embarrassing (though painfully familiar) to watch Wenger shrugging his shoulders and losing his temper over being outthought by Howe.

The big question here is, with the exception of Alexis, where is the fire in these players? Why aren't they humiliated by performances like this, the first 70 minutes anyway? You could say they showed passion in the end but all off the back of Alexis, if he hadn't been on that pitch we wouldn't have scored one, let alone three.

It all starts at the top, the owner who couldn't give a shit about the game of football. Then the manager who would much rather moan about the fixture list that say fuck it, bring 'em all on! This rotten attitude hangs over the place and smothers the players. I wonder is Ozil even ill, or is he just having a Winter break on the sly? And where has Theo gone again? What about Coquelin? Can he really only give us 5 minutes of football between injuries these days? Did you see Alexis' ankle after that cunt of an Argie tried to break it in the Copa final? The guy played the whole match and then he jumped on a plane back to training with us in no time flat.

Are we seriously, I mean fucking seriously, dithering around over re-signing this guy? The way things stand he's the only bloke in the whole place, from top to bottom, we can depend on. Give him the fucking money already. Jesus!

Who are we going to get to replace him? Another softie who likes the comfortable life? We're like a rest home for players between clubs.
