Dugout Discussion – Arsenal vs Bournemouth

After Stoke’s narrow win at Vicarage Road, we now make our way to the Emirates as Arsenal entertain Bournemouth at 2.15pm.

Having led the line against PSG in midweek, Olivier Giroud drops back to the bench, despite netting five times in his last five appearances across all competitions.

Alexis Sanchez is stationed up front, then, with his 22% FPL owners looking for an improvement on the form that has seen him score in just one of the previous six Gameweeks.

Certainly, we need the Chilean to step up in a weekend where Liverpool pair Philipp Coutinho and Roberto Firmino, along with Chelsea’s Eden Hazard, failed to deliver the goods.

Utilised off the bench against PSG, Theo Walcott returns to the starting XI, with Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain also finding a place in the hosts line-up.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    These yellows for players showing natural frustration is absurd.

    Yes that was questionably a penalty, so how could you not expect players to feel hard done by.

        It's an emotional game. Think the reaction was within reason. He wasn't in the refs face with obscenities though.
        A soft yellow imo

      Yellow is for dissent at the referee. You cannot classify it as a genuine dissent or a false one in a live game.

          He headed the ball, was probably going for the goal but it glanced off and went to the far post (bouncing off two palace players) where fer scored it. Could have gone either way tbh.
