    Just realised there isn't a thread for this game, so may as well create one now.

    Just heard that Debuchy is making his first start of the season :emoticon-0112-wonde I thought his Arsenal career was dead and buried, let's see how he does. Jenkinson isn't even on the bench and obviously Bellerin is out for a few more weeks, so I'm assuming CJ is ill/injured. Wilshere is ineligible thankfully, as he's been a vital component of the Bournemouth team. The team we've put out is strong enough to get the win, so let's hope we do it.

    Arsenal XI: Cech, Debuchy, Mustafi, Koscielny, Monreal, Elneny, Xhaka, Walcott, Ozil, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Sanchez

    Subs: Gibbs, Gabriel, Ramsey, Giroud, Ospina, Coquelin, Iwobi

    Bournemouth XI: Federici, Smith, Francis, Cook, Smith, Gosling, Ake, Arter, King, Wilson, Stanislas

    Subs: Pugh, Afobe, Allsop, Fraser, Mings, Mousset, Ibe

    Debuchy injured already! <doh>. Our third choice right-back has got a suspected hamstring injury. Mental.

    Gabriel is coming on. Either he or Mustafi will be a makeshift right-back. Bournemouth will look to exploit that side of the pitch for sure. Hopefully, either of them will get protection from Walcott.

    Bournemouth have looked quite threatening when they've attacked us. They're finding a lot of space and we've not been tracking their runners properly. Need to focus defensively.

    That was seriously poor from Ozil to be offside there when that was a potentially very promising attack.

    The referee is a disgrace. We were fouled in the build up to the penalty and that wasn't a foul at all. Shocking.

    Actually, having looked at it again, I think Wilson played the ref there. It looked like a fair shoulder-to-shoulder challenge and Wilson went down quite theatrically.

    We really need to keep our cool here because our response has been quite petulant.

    Yeah, that's another good point. Ozil was clearly fouled by Cook, I'm not sure why the referee didn't give that.

    Aaaand now we're on the backfoot. Bournemouth should be 2-1 ahead. We need to sort ourselves out and fast.

    Bournemouth's first league goal against Arsenal and they got it through Wilson's cheating - who'd have thunk it?

    Another chance for Bournemouth <doh> Are we actually serious? Why are we playing like ****s? No-one is tracking the runs at all!

    Bournmouth has played the better football.

    Aside from Sanchez. We're not working hard enough.

    We're being outthought and outpassed by a club who have less than 12,000 seats in their stadium.

    Who's meant to be the big team, again?

    I'm getting so mad watching this performance. Do we even have a midfield?

    Was just about to say the same myself. Only thing is they are putting a lot more effort into this half than we are so maybe it will take it's toll later

    B'mouth playing without fear and you lot don't like it.

    Are you purposefully trying to outdo us for ****tiness or is it accidental?

    We've been playing like this for the past month mate. This isn't anything new.
