Bournemouth v. Arsenal - 14/1/18 Match Thread

thanks for steppin' on the sword for us

 

Last time our MD thread-starting tradition was broken, we went on a long unbeaten run. Let it be so again, but with more wins! Starting tomorrow!!

 

That might be the worst logo I've ever seen. An early 80s graphic header. Holy crap

 

Looks like a Rasta heading the ball

 

Alexis not in matchday squad, journo on twitter claims deal with Manu finalized

 

He's gone. And our front 3 looks a bit less than world class. Pray.

 

Arsenal XI: Cech, Chambers, Mustafi, Holding, Bellerin, Wilshere, Xhaka, Maitland-Niles, Iwobi, Welbeck, Lacazette

Bench: Ospina, Mertesacker, Kolasinac, Elneny, Ramsey, Walcott, Nketiah

 

Lol weak ass team

 

I think we lose today fellas

 

Iwobi on the right is a mistake. He’s better on the left

 

AMN hits the bar. Maybe the lads will be in a mood to prove they can do it without Sanchez?

 

Up and in my away strip, you know, I cannot remember the last time we actually won a match wearing our all blue kits, they look good, we just haven't been winning in them.

.....and pretty much, with Alexis not traveling with the club today and being left back in North London, it perhaps means the end of Alexis' run with The Gunners, let's hope not, but then NBC are pretty reliable on things like this. But we must forge on with this, so COYF'n'G!!!

 

Holding looked weak there. Out muscled by Ibe.

 

Is the team purposely avoiding Laca? Every time he makes an open run or finds space he doesn’t get the ball. Iwobi, AMN, Jack and Bellerin have all missed his runs.

 

Maybe they don't wanna aggrevate his injury?

 

Welbeck might have the worst first touch in the league.

 

This red is letting a lot go

 

Danny draws a nice little foul there. And Francis goes in the book.

 

Wilshere 2.0 is a completely different man. Great to see. Just hope he keeps it up after his contract is signed!

 

Chambers to the rescue! Nice sliding block.

 

I don’t think 1.0 was bad at all. He’s always been one of our top players when healthy.

 

I'm alluding to Jack 1.5 just before he went out on loan. Jack 1.0 is sadly too much in the distant past. For me he's a reinvented, much more confident and higher quality player in the last month or so.

 

That was dire.
