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

    Arsenal's right flank has been all over the place since Debuchy left the pitch.

        Last 5-6 laps, slowed down the pace at the front on purpose to let Vettel and Verstappen catch Rosberg. Ignored direct orders from Paddy Lowe (Technical Exec Director) to speed up multiple times.

        Smart driving but Mercedes were furious.

          Did it for lot longer than that. Not against the rules, but hardly particularly sportsman-like - especially after he said he wouldn't do such things.

            Rosberg could have overtaken him if he had a problem with the tactic. Lewis was well within his rights to do so, especially as he's been screwed over so much this season.

              Not that simple to overtake at this circuit. Lewis is quicker on this circuit. The best thing to do would be to disappear into the distance, demonstrating that you're the quickest and win emphatically, and hope for the best with the rest.

              For what its worth by the way, i pretty sure rosberg would have done the same thing, and i would have been equally critical of that too 🙂

        They should have, Rosberg was such a coward. Can't believe he asked the team to ask Hamilton to let him pass and he'd allow him to overtake at the end. Pathetic.

        Could wait another week for this but I was looking at:

        Cech + Coutinho + Lukaku to Heaton + Eriksen + Costa

        Otherwise probably just Coutinho to Eriksen

      Bournemouth defending well and deep - difficult to see him getting involved at this rate. Looking likely to be hooked for Giroud or Ramsey around 60 mins at this rate.
