This is potential banana skin. Bournemouth are pretty decent at home and we kinda struggled at the Emirates. At least their best player of all time Wilshere is not eligible against us.

Should win since Liverpool dropped points and we can go 1 point behind them. Anything else is a disaster.

-----------------------Cech--------------------------
Bellerin-------Mustafi-------Koscielny--------Gibbs
--------------Coquelin----Ramsey------------------
Oxlade--------------Ozil------------------Iwobi
-------------------Sanchez-----------------------

Actually don't know which team Arsene would go with tbh

Need to build on recent wins
Özil/Ramsey/Ox better turn up for this one since they should be fresh

As far as changes go, Mustafi will probably come in for Gabriel, Coquelin will replace Elneny and Ox will come in for Lucas. I can see Iwobi playing 10 again if Ozil hasn't trained. Alexis and Giroud are certainties.

The only one that's up in the air for me is Xhaka or Ramsey.

This a tough game since we're playing away from home after such a short recovery period. Tiredness will come into play and Bournemouth have had an extra day's rest. We may just need to scrap out a 1-0.

The competition from 2nd to 6th is so strong right now we can't to slip up here.

Is Ozil really sick?

Really worried about our LB and RB we have no replacement for them and Wenger has to address this.

------------Cech
Bellerin Mustafi Koscielny Monreal
---------Ramsey Coquelin
Oxlade Iwobi Sanchez
------------Giroud

This is shocking.

Daniels left with the whole of the left wing to score his goal, Xhaka with a stupid push on Fraser. Wtf are we doing.

Nothing is sticking up front either. Just crossing into Giroud.

shocking performance to be honest, the goals we have given away have been so poor. Xhaka has probably put the nail in the coffin of this game. I'd happily take a draw but even that is asking too much.

shocking

Shocking state of affairs.

It's a real mess out there.

That first goal should never, ever happen at this level. Bellerin is doing his job by tracking the run of Fraser but the backline is too lopsided. Ramsey SEES Daniels and POINTS at him, but makes no effort to cover him. Bellerin then does extremely poorly in the 1v1.

Then consider that actually Iwobi is out of position and should be the one on the right and covering yet for some reason isn't. Ramsey has found himself there and has a responsibility to do something yet doesn't.

That penalty - pure idiocy from Xhaka. Does well to get across, but all he has to do is stand up. No idea why he pushes him.

Our usage of the ball is laughable. Pass the ball to left > cut inside > cross to Giroud. No other ideas. No real pattern.

Fabulous player but his defending is a joke, i have seen strikers defend better hell even Denilson was better defensively

He has this habit of throwing himself whenever someone is running at him. He has a lot of improving to do if he doesn't then I can see Arsene going back to Coqzorla

How many touches does Ramsey need before releasing the ball

from a goal kick, thats poor just shocking

Bellerin has to do better there

Don't waste your time guys. Do something fun instead.

This is identical to that 4-0 thrashing we had at Southampton last season. Same time of year as well.

This team is pathetic. The sooner there is actual change, the better.

Piss poor from everyone. Watch Wenger blame the schedule now.

I am really expecting Sanchez to leave and I wouldn't even begrudge him of it. RVP was right, there is no ambition in this club, from the *bleep* owner to the *bleep* players.

How can they walk out and joke and laugh and do their shitty online skits is beyond me... I would hang my head in shame.

Arsenal is not worth watching. Not the time, not the effort, not pain.

Problem is clearly Arsene. Team knows it too. It almost feels like they don't have faith in him anymore.

I have seen more movement from a stripper pole than from Giroud

But hey, 2 year contract coming his way.

I don't want him to sign. If Ozil doesn't want to sign because Wenger wont sign then good riddance.

Why are we going long so early ?!! keep the ball on the ground ffs

Why did Ramsey not take a touch ?!, he was completely unmarked

1 point is better than nothing i guess.
