That was a shocking cross from Bellerin, we had 3 men available in the box there. Really disappointing.
We should be 4-0 up . They look so vulnerable from crosses and set-pieces, we should be taking advantage of this by now.
Think your lucks in tonight...sounds like the Bournemouth that we tonked 5-1 have turned up rather than the Bournemouth that beat united and chelsea
1-0. HT. Not a stellar performance, but we've looked comfortable. We're in control of the match. They've looked very, very poor from set-pieces and crosses, so how we've not scored at least a couple more goals is quite frustrating because at 1-0, they're still in the game. They've not really given us much trouble, but we need to be more ruthless in the second half because if we give them a sniff, the momentum will change in their favour.
We've not played amazingly, but we've comfortably been the better side, so yeah, Bournemouth haven't played that well. My only concern is that we're not more than 1 goal up because we could and perhaps should have put that game to bed in the first half.
Every time Ozil touches the ball I think we are about to score, his set piece delivery has been beautiful today and his incisive passing is a joy to watch, he's put Ramsey, Walcott (three times) and bellerin through with incredible passes in behind the back line. He could have had five or six assists in that half. We started sloppy but have grown into the game and for the final 15-20 minutes it was constant pressure on there goal. We really should have put away another goal or two, we need to keep up this pressure in the second half and bury the game.
