Matchday Thread - Arsenal vs Bournemouth - 28 December 2015

There is no way we're losing this game. We'll win 2-0 or something like that, and Man City will win against Leicester, putting us top of the league going into 2016. Don't worry, we'll bring the trophy home.

Why would you use Iwobi instead of Ox?

I hope Leicester win and keep MC on distance from us.

I second that. I would rather see city drop points.

There will be a lot of rotation in the team and Arsenal will have most of the possession. Which means we'll be VERY vulnerable on the break as they park the bus. So, I wouldn't be surprised if we drop points again.

You lot worry too much. This will be a walk in the park. Players are fired up after Wenger's hairdryer treatment, we're playing at home against Bournemouth, players are eager to prove they're not the amateur twats they were against Southampton.

I'm still in shock what happened 2 days ago. And i worry because this is situation we were many times before. Oh ye they will try to respond, and many times they end up running like headless chickens, hope they have more fate in their ability then i do.

Koscielny & Nacho rested (fucks sake), Flamini injured. Bet Bournemouth are rubbing their hands together with this line up

Arsenal: Cech - Bellerin, Gabriel, Mertesacker, Gibbs - Chambers, Ramsey - Oxlade-Chamberlain, Özil, Walcott - Giroud

Subs: Ospina, Debuchy, Koscielny, Monreal, Iwobi, Campbell, Reine-Adelaide.

Is ox on the left wing?

Gabriel and big are a horribly matched pair. Hope they don't concede.

First 15 min i'm not sure who is the home team.

Gabriel !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well that goal removed southampton game out of our system. Ozil served theo 3-4 times with clear chance, how he couldnt get one in.

Ozil should've had about 10 assists tonight. Walcott playing like he's wearing fluffy slippers

Someone should inform Alexis that Arsenal is one man team, and this is not Alexis FC. Positive side of Theo misses is that he make this runs to get in that position.

Good performance imo. Chambers was great, obviously Özil was too. Ox had his best game in absolutely ages but still lacks the end product. Giroud got the assist but didn't get involved whatsoever otherwise, Theo was buzzing around all night but I felt he helped us a lot more than Ollie did. I'd start Theo up front against Newcastle
