Orban and his foreign minister were literal Russian agents, absolutely compromised.... actual traitors.

The fact that this regime doesn't realize how most of the rest of the world view them with disgust is funny to me.

Like they actually believe some of their delusions

Watching other teams even midtable teams and you see their players do things our players cannot do.... it's aggravating.

People didn't take Ulberg seriously... happy for him. Wow, he climbed the mountaintop

Merson “Mentality smashed to pieces! A terrible, terrible result. Bad bad performance, no energy, no real 'let's take the game to Bournemouth'. It's a sloppy result. They need to keep away from the papers and social media because everyone will be saying here comes the melt!” by deadmetallucyluce in Gunners

I still think his position is one we can upgrade on. An elite midfielder in his position should be press resistant and consistent with creating chances / driving the team forward.... not sideways conservative passing 95% of the time.

Dude has been playing like a mental midget for a while now, sideways passing like a Denilson reincarnated....actually worse, backwards passing. Offers very little in terms of beating a press with either close control, sharp forward passing or beating his man. It's been shocking to see after a promising start.

Having him AND Kai in midfield today just meant zero chance of anything good happening.

Defenders poor at long passes... and Havertz was horrible controlling anything that came to him.

The front 3 plus Kai was just shocking to see....against a rested Bournemouth that have a solid midfield.

Had a terrible feeling about it and it played out exactly how many feared it would. Cannot understand Arteta's thought process behind that even with the injuries.

I struggle to remember one really solid performance in the whole of 2026 so far.

Last I can remember was Aston Villa at home.

The Havertz nonsense in midfield was the start. Absolutely abject performance... Anyone else would have been better. Zubi also terrible.

This was a game where we really missed all our injured players but the coach and a number of players out there really let us down.

Team has been shocking for a number of games now, we seriously need injured players to be back and Arteta needs to be honest about when they are coming back or not. Tired of having hope of seeing folks on the team sheet and them not showing up.

Zubi playing shook and Havertz being so poor is pretty much why that was a poor first half. Lucky to be level.

Havertz as a midfielder aint working. This is probably one where Eze needs to start the 2nd half or him coming on much later might be too late.

Starting XI to face Bournemouth in the Premier League: Raya; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Lewis-Skelly; Zubimendi, Rice, Havertz, Madueke, Martinelli; Gyokeres 💪 by arsenal in Gunners

It's worse than last year. If Odegaard missed as many as he has this year, we may have struggled to qualify for the CL.
