Bournemouth vs Arsenal, evening kick off, eat some food

Ode has two goals but his link up plays been average today. Saka is still off, something's up with him. White is messing up some good chances.

The last time we had 73% possession in a half was under Wenger

This Saliba chant is amazing! 😆

Hahaha brilliant Saliba chant

naz

They've been going on for 10 minutes straight hahaha

Coombs

This Saliba song 😆

MistaT

Great chant 😆

Have we scored two goals from two shots? Could do with creating a few more chances (and maybe Ode could stop dropping back?).

Too long without a shot on goal for my liking

Enjoy it mate. I don't want to downplay yours and others reasons for the positions you have on Arteta, but it genuinely bothered me to think you all might not be able to enjoy this because you've boxed yourselves into a corner somewhat. We've waited so long for a proper team, we might be on the way to getting one.

This is an example of a match where we need to be killing it off. Dominated possession but a bit passive in the final third.

Men of the match so far: those guys singing that Saliba chant 😆

What are they saying with Saliba’s chant?

Love that he has a song

Bournemouth have defended with real intensity to be fair. We haven't let them have a kick in our half though, I'd say Arteta was absolutely loving that.

naz

We should be scoring a few more but we lack that cutting edge quality right now. I wouldn't care as long as we keep possession and snuff out the last 45 minutes

lorddulaarsenal

Never mind

It’s the “doo do do doo do do Tequila!” song

I think the fact that White is playing RB means that more of our attacking play comes from the left but also leaves Saka isolated at times (White sometimes slips into a back three). Honestly, I don't think he's doing anything wrong, just much less of the play is going through him than we're used to.

Interesting dilemma with Ben White

Does Arteta persist with him for possession and the 2-3-5 formation? Or do you acknowledge he’s not creating much, and a poor crosser, and look for Tomi?

Feels like it’s only Jesus and Martinelli who can create right now.

Taking that further, I think the team has a higher ceiling with different fullbacks, also once finding a better balance in tucking in. Among other things, to propel the threat from our wide forwards
