Giroud scored one goal and assisted two goals that in the end secured us a point, but you guys still make fun of him because he celebrated in 10-20 seconds after the goal. He even scored our greates goal ever at emirates only two days ago..

Give the man a rest, he obviously can't do anyting to make you satisfifed with him.

We were f*** in the first half, poverty football.

But no denying the fight back . . . that's not weak mentality in anybody's book mate.

Yup forgettable first half but to comeback from 3 -0 nil down means there's something to build on .

Ref cost us the game, simple as that. Two big decisions, if he gets one right, the other is wrong. First goal or third. That's the story for me.
I agree. Watching replays of their third goal, it is absurd that the referee gave a penalty against us for a shove in the back, and then allowed the Bournemouth player to shove Bellerin in the back, worse, before he scored.

Maybe it wouldn't be so bad if we miss out if it means Wenger leaves and a new manager can solely focus on the league and drilling the team. Akin to Chelski right now.
Same underperforming players with complete different outlook, now utterly resurgent. How can anyone not look at that example and say "**** this, we need someone new".

Bad result, good entertainment, magnificent comeback. You have to give the team credit for not giving up but at the same time they should've never put themselves in that position to begin with.

Ramsey gave Bellerin no help in the first goal and when you watch it again you can also see that Mustafi read the play poorly. He could've made it to block Daniels' shot but he made this weird run towards the edge of the box!?!?

Xhaka's challenge was beyond moronic for the pen and Bellerin just lost a 50/50 battle way too easily for the third but got no help in that play either.

Xhaka, Ramsey, Bellerin and Mustafi had poor games and also Cech wasn't able to help the team out either. That's way too many players below par. Also, Ramsey and Mustafi can't blame the lack of rest.

Wenger reacted well during the game in a desperate situation but surely he must take the blame for preparing and setting up the team poorly. We made all the same mistakes as in the first half of the previous game against Bournemouth.

All in all, not good enough despite the heroic comeback. Without Giroud, it seems, we're screwed right now

The players should feel shame and guilt , not to celebrate a draw against a mid-table team !
That's not a title winning mentality .
nope that is the fighting spirit that ppl have accused us of lacking. lol what a joke, our manager is a joke. Being found out year in year out. Wenger is lucky to be in a club like arsenal, i bet if he and eddie howe swapped jobs, arsenal would be winning tnite.

Ramsey hate unwarranted imo, him and Xhaka playing together in the middle turned the game around. He did simple things well playing good outlet passes.

Wasting your energy lad, they won't see that. We transitioned the ball from midfield to attack seamlessly with those pair in there, but of course all people see is the fact he missed a couple of chances, despite showing good movement to get in those positions.

We came back well but we've given away 7 points cheaply recently. Mustafi and Xhaka were awful tonight. Bellerin was poor but Ramsey saw the danger and refused to help him for the first goal. He got a nudge for Bournemouth's third and was unlucky not to be given a FK. Cech was poor. Nowhere near the penalty and beaten on his near post. Some of his saves were also palmed back into the danger area.
Our forwards did their job once they cottoned on to the fact that the MF was useless and virtually bypassed.
A point is better than nothing but we've no room to rotate now with the injuries. As Giroud says it's a shame we conceded the three goals the way we did and we had a chance for the winner. If we lost,I could live with it but it's the throwing away that gets me.
We need a midfield. Xhaka ain't the answer for me.

The day a manager that knows how to organize a defence comes to take over the club we may have a chance.

Arsenal haven't been able to defend for the better part of a 10 years now.

We'll hear the usual BS from Arsène now - character etc. etc. etc. blah, blah, blah. What to do - just suck it up and wait.

True. Their partnership are much more natural than Xhaka-Coquelin. Ramsey is also superior player to Coquelin.

Exactly! That first half they were all over us so what exactly is the point of Coquelin if we're that porous?

We looked a lot more solid at 3-0 even though we were going all out.

He sprinted back straight after the silly dance too and was disappointed at the end, why are people acting like he was happy with a draw? :lol:
