Weighed down by a setback against Bournemouth this Saturday in the Premier League, the Gunners are suffering the wrath of informed observers of the English championship.
Arsenal’s defeat against Bournemouth (1-2) this Saturday in the Premier League did not go unnoticed. The London club lost at home by the narrowest of margins after an overall disappointing performance.
In a post-match press conference, Gunners coach Mikel Arteta was candid about his men’s performance. “There were some very basic things that we did extremely poorly today. It can happen, it’s football. It hurts, you have to take the hit. We have to get up and fight. Know how to react to this »said the Gunners manager to the media.
A game too sterile
On social networks, ex-Congolese international Yannick Bolasie did not spare the Londoners either. He particularly pointed out the difficulties of Emirates residents in projecting themselves forward.
“It all comes from Raya dancing on the ball like he has the whole game in his pocket. When your defense touches the ball more than your attackers, it’s a big problem. Your passing rate will be 95% if you always pass backwards and to the sides… Safety first. Raya makes more passes than Rice or Zubimendi, it is the players with the least offensive ability who touch the ball the most »wrote the former Crystal Palace player on X.
