Yep3-3. Would have taken that at the start. Liverpool and Arse drop points in consecutive days so a decent week so far
Yeah well played Arsenal, but nothing sums up why they are simply a bunch of flat track, play-better-with-the-pressure-off let downs than Giroud absolutely desperate to do his scorpion celebration when they still had 5 minutes left to play. They could be thinking of winning the game but they are happy with the point.
It's like their players sharing selfies from their changing room after they finish above us again in May. Yes congratulations guys, you've failed to win the league again and all you could celebrate is finishing above your neighbours that have a stadium half the size of theirs and a wage bill/revenue number significantly lower.
They are not winners. They are posers. And they dropped points tonight.
Bournemouth losing Fraser and King to injury at 3-0 was the key. They lost their focal points up front, and were not able to stretch Arsenal, allowing Arsenal to stay higher and apply pressure.Shame about the red. Bournemouth a tad naive on how to close a game though.
Swings and roundabouts. Once the 3-1 goal goes in there's going to be pressure put on the home team. Particularly by someone as strong as scum up against a smaller side like Bournemouth. Very little a manager can do to completely prevent that from happening.I have to admit I lost a little bit of faith in Howe last night. That was stupidly naive. Closing down the game at 3-0 against the scum is not done by sitting back, it is done by keeping them in their own half. Yes, you may be tired, but at least don't fill your team with defensively minded players who do not come out of their own half.
