Walcott and Chambo being soo predictable with the through balls. Both expecting Sanchez to do it all.
Mustafi is very good at intercepting and can play the ball well, but his lack of physicality and height does concern me an awful lot. He and Kos have been given the run around by Wilson. Also, Stanislas and King have been causing us problems on the flanks, whilst we've been struggling to take control of the midfield. Not good.
Who is meant to be our disciplined defensive-minded midfielder? They're absolutely running rings around us on the counter, they look like scoring every time they go forward. Walcott's also reverted to type again after a good few games. I'm so livid with this first half.
HT. 1-1. Raging. I'm so angry. Their team cost a fraction of ours and they're beating us at our own game in our own bloody backyard . Humiliating doesn't quite do it. The only player who deserves credit is Sanchez because he's the only one who is looking to make things happen. Walcott has been useless. Ox has been non-existent. I'm not sure what Xhaka's role is supposed to be. Elneny keeps recycling the ball backwards and sideways, but is offering **** all else. Paulista and Monreal have looked vulnerable against King and Stanislas, and Mustafi-Kos haven't looked convincing in dealing with the physicality and pace of Wilson. Fair play to Bournemouth though, they didn't buckle when we went 1-0 ahead after a shaky start and progressively got better as the half went on. Unlucky to not be going into HT leading, to be honest.
We are playing like we have never met each other before,one of the biggest problems for me is there are no leaders out there.There looks to be no shape to the team we are just too easy to play against at the moment.
With Sanchez, Ozil, Oxo and Walcott we should be an absolute nightmare on the break. But we have been soo slow to get the ball out of the back fr the past few Seasons. Really don't understand why we ar'nt better at this.
2-1. Walcott. He's been useless all game, but brilliant individual skill by Ozil to pick out Monreal who squares it for Walcott. Now let's kill it off.
At least with Theo - whens he's having a bad game he can still finish. Chambo just disappears like the ****ing lock ness Monster.
