Bournemouth vs. Arsenal

Wenger out?

Mesut Ozil - 16 PL assists this season, but none in the last 4, since the reverse fixture v Bournemouth on Dec 28

Elneny not in squad. Had a baby or something.

AFCB XI : Boruc, Smith, Francis, Cook, Daniels, Surman, Gosling, Arter, Ritchie, Pugh, Afobe

Let's rock n roll. These are a crucial three points to grab, but I don't think it will be easy.

I expect Afobe to have a stellar match

Nicely done so far, fellas.

No need to worry about Flamsey if we have Öxil firing away?

Good win. Decen performance. Was definitely needed.

Far from stable.

3 points, heading into a clash with Leicester. I'll take it.

Still behind Spurs, but at least it is only on GD.

3 points were much more important than the performance today since we needed to stay in the title race. Good to see Ox get one, it will give him a bit of confidence. We are still sloppy in midfield and shaky at the back.I like Flamini's work rate and commitment but the quicker we get Coquelin back in the line up the less shit we will be in midfield. I am not too confident with this Koscielny and Gabriel partnership, they don't communicate enough and no one wants to lead maybe it needs some time but they have to improve quickly if they are going to be the partnership that wins us the league.

Mesut and Cech

Rambo produced the goods

Gabriel worryingly isnt reliable though

and Giroud has been bad recently

Think it's time to give Walcott a run upfront again and see how it goes. Think the both of them perform well initially for the first few games they come back from being benched for a few games and then they become dross after 7 games or so. We just need to rotate them.

If Theo wasn't in such shocking form then Arsene would have rotated a bit more but Theo isn't even a football player at the moment. His best place is on the bench until he sorts himself out and bucks up his ideas.

Dude only turns up when he sees his name in the CF position imo.

Shocking defending, but Petr Cech is a absolute monster. Huge win we must do better and midfield still lost any team can walk through us.

Is flamini paying Wenger to play him? only thing explain why Wenger keeps starting him. My bet is he gave Wenger some shares of his company.

Walcott has been crap since that goal vs City
Giroud Not any better[poor since his performance vs Pool]

Neither deserve anything
for Leicester match i would still prefer Giroud though

Debate:
vs LCFC
Merte back in or Gabriel to keep his place?

while Gabriel can do better in 1vs1s and wide areas
Leicester can create danger from crosses/Set pieces too
Overall Mertecielny still is our best CB pairing imo

Our attack aint nothing w/o Giroud, we need him even he's in bad form atm, cant believe I miss good guy Webz. Mertz for me as well, he's not a confidence type of player like Gabriel, dont know what happened but Mr consistency Kozz is really off lately. Flam started cause we got no one else, I expect Elneyny & Coq take over full time from next week which I think will be start of good run.

Unless Flamini has nude pics of Wenga, I can't see why he should start any more.

Coquelin/Ramsey for me though. Elneny off the bench. The game is too important for a gamble in midfield with a new lad/dad.

Giroud up front too. Theo can do some more bench time.

Flamini will most probably start Sunday then. Watch out

Wenger is the biggest troll. Playing Flamini isi just reckless and he could have cost us the game. We dont have a midfield when he plays.

For a stubborn manager he is afraid of his own shadow.

As much as I hate Flamsey, I think AW is protecting Coquelin a bit while he becomes match fit.

Rather see Flamsey against Bournemouth than in the thick of the title run-in chase for top four in March-May.

That's pure selfish in my opinion if it was a world class talent i'd understand but an attribute player like Theo plays where a manager puts him.
