Didn’t watch the game but I see Bournemouth were playing in a mint green away kit. Poor b*stards, never stood a chance.
Reads like I missed a ton of fun. Any way I can watch the full game?
I meant how/where?If your Mum says so yes you can
I didn't think so. We played well for the first 26 minutes. Then Guendouzi who I felt had a shocker, got mugged of the ball outside our box and all of a sudden we were 2-1 up but under serious pressure.Couldn't watch the game at all but the scoreline suggests it was one of those games where everyone played well?
Thanks so much! I used to know this site but completely forgot about it.

IMO, Guendouzi, Torreira and PEA all had terrible games.
Özil, Mikhi, Kos, Laca (When he came on) & Leno had excellent games. Leno made a crucial save at 2-0 as well.
No, I wasn't at the game I watched it on TV, bit difficult for me to get from JHB to the Emirate mid-week. Which means I had the benefit of replays etc.Was you at the game? Guendouzi had a really good game. Yes he made the mistake for the goal and he made that same mistake a few times further up the park but that kid was all over the pitch, covering all over the place, he CONSTANTLY wanted the ball, a minute after his mistake for the goal he happy pitched up the ball from the keeper in the same position under pressure again (that showed some balls). He looked to move the ball forward quickly, His range of passing was good, There was an instance in the second half when he switched the ball over to the left, Got it back, Switched it over to the right both pinpoint passes, Could of had an assist with a neat ball over the top for Lacca aswell.
This is not a biased view, I took a west ham friend to the game last night and he was very impressed.
Overal on the game
Özil and Mhiki apart from the goal and assists didnt really do anything to show they were better then anyone else on the pitch, we really lacked the pace someone like iwobi gives us but obviously iwobi gives very little product. Jenkinson....Well lets hope he doesnt play on Saturday, half of his touches went off the pitch, hardly got involved in the game and didnt really offer anything going forward his runs forward were rare and he struggled to find space, as a wing back he was very poor. His defending was also rubbish, Failed to close down, happily let right footie players come in on the right without any pressure and get a shot away.
Auba...As a lone striker was dominated in the air and physically, His hold up play just didnt exist because he couldnt win the first ball.
There was some bizarre defensive set ups that can only be tactical at points when we had the ball in thier half, We had Kos center of the pitch 5 yard in Bournemouths half, Monreal was 20 yards away on the left and Sokratis the same higher up the pitch on the right. If Bournemouth could counter they could of with 1 pass been 1 on 1 with kos on the half way line. very risky, Wish i took a picture of it.
Our lack of closing down, tackling just allowed Bournemouth onto the edge of our box with such ease.
Still, Wins a win. Onwards and upwards.
Press release last week said the cheese room is not going ahead. So looks like he'll just be a loser.
Would've been more impressive if he volleyed it straight back into his mouth like Mesut.@American_Gooner did you see after the first goal, Howe was screaming at his team and spit out his gum by accident, and caught it while it was falling out of his mouth. Elite reflexes.
You just always say the right things.Would've been more impressive if he volleyed it straight back into his mouth like Mesut.
