PL: Bournemouth vs Arsenal | Thursday 26th December | KO: 15:00 | Amazon Prime

This our 9th draw in PL how much difference it could have made if we could have hold the lead or be more clinical in some of those games.

It's so frustrating. Blowing a 2-0 lead twice to Watford and Crystal Palace, Emery picking a negative team against Sp**s and United when they were in poor form. So many missed opportunities.

Sure 1 out of 5 times Kola puts a good one in. I’m not sure I agree this is good crossing no doubt he’s a better option though.

I also have a suspicion that relying on Bellerins heath is a false economy- hope I’m completely wrong on this point.

Yes better than getting none right lol

Bad result so not much to be positive about in this game, but encouraging signs for the future.. Been a long time since we've controlled a game like this.. Execution in the final third was horrible though, major letdown.

Love that Arteta interview. Just concerned about us not the opposition. Very Wengeresque. Very proactive.

Had enough of a 'reactive' manager.

Wolves too we couldn't hold on.

The majority of those we were the ones lucky to draw thanks to being bailed out by Auba etc.
Today we played reasonably well.

For example against Watford crystal Palace we were comfertable until we f**k up.

Why would you criticize such a delightful performance. We were awesome today and had 2 shots on target. Xhaka played like Lothar Matthaeus at his prime today. We were playing Bournemouth ffs and a draw is not a disaster. You aint a true fan like me and Gdeep. #InArtetaWeTrust

Need to be a bit more subtle in your trolling, it's a little too obvious. @GDeep™ give this lad some 1-1 coaching.

Chelsea are losing because their players are all distracted by the transfer rumors and worried for their place in the team

Or because they've been found out.

Did anybody notice how Xhaka played the third CB on the far left? This gave much greater protection in defensive transitions as it protected our insanely poor on-the-ball defenders (bar Luiz in some occasions) and the young Saka who got much greater freedom with Xhaka covering. Bournemouth also could not cope with his distribution.

Torreira was insane today tbf

Yeah good point.

Was odd enough that we dominated possession with ease, but that was we didn't get counterattacked for fun was a pleasant surprise.

Torreria, played like the player we expected when we signed him. His breaking up of play was immense.

 

[OnlyOne]

Xhaka has a good game and has apparently agreed a deal with Hertha.

 

[Sniper Mik]

"Well" is not how I would describe his performance today. He tried, but that's it.

Played a few great crosses in the 1st half apart from a few bad ones. Defensively he's looked solid

 

[DanDare]

Torreira was insane today tbf

I mean, he was alright.

Undecided on him but he is a better forward passer than Xhaka that's for sure. And recovers the ball more.

Glad Arteta doesn't seem him as a 10

 

[TakeChillPill]

Xhaka has a good game and has apparently agreed a deal with Hertha.

Happy to sell him, hopefully we can get a high quality replacement in.

 

[Raicore]

Torreira was insane today tbf

Glad hes back playing at the quality level hes capable of..Emery destroyed his confidence by playing him off position

Hopefully

I was remarking that he reminds me of the intelligence of Arsène, but at the same time the no nonsense attitude of Pep. Couldnt help but smile during the interview.

We need to not **** around and support this man. He seems determined to put things right with the team, and we must help him achieve that.
