That incredible pass to Bellerín was from Iwobi?

What I don't get with Eddie Howe is why he persists with this open football against sides far better than his.
I'm reluctant to ever agree with Souness but he was talking about this a few weeks ago when Liverpool battered Bournemouth.

It's very principled from Howe to play attacking football you could argue, but it's just stupid. They have better players than you, so if you try and go head to head with them you'll inevitably lose.

Think this will be their 10th straight defeat to a top 6 side. It's obvious his tactics aren't working in these games.

:lol: Think I’ll let this one just slip away under a carpet somewhere.

I really don’t enjoy watching Arsenal anymore, they used to be a fantastic side.
They are awful and it will take a lot to put it right. I wouldn't want Wenger to be attempting that job. Maybe the unknown CB and a Brazilian kid with potential is the sign of things to come. Except that is the type of player he has signed loads of.

Ian Holloway did it with Blackpool and it got them relegated.

How times have changed.

Bournemouth score and try to get the ball back from Bellerin to restart playing. Bellerin delays giving the ball.

You'd usually see this when a big club was trailing and scored against a smaller club

Not arsed about Arsenal dropping points. They aren't catching us and the only team benefitting from their bad form is Liverpool, which is definitely not good for us.

Oh well, hope Spurs and Chelsea keep Liverpool in 5th.
