Ah Alexis was doing an impromptu Mannequin Challenge

Looking at replays of that pen looks more and more a pathetic decision every time I see it.

His lunge should be a meme

If anything it was a free out.

Sanchez belter so close

tayto lover

Elneny has been very busy. Good player.

Soups123

Only thing more pathetic than the peno is the performance serious rollicking needed at half time

omega man

Complete dross

emmetlego

Good response since the goal, that said we haven't been good enough.

Hat tip to Bournemouth, they've set up very well to counter our style of play. Missed the start, what happened Debuchy??

gosplan

Not too bad. More creative than we've been recently.

Seemed to go through a spell where they continually got in behind us though.

mansize

1-1 at halftime

Ref annoying

He's a promising young talent alright

Ol' Donie

Eleneny very tidy, very good. Alexis has had great moments, trying very hard.

Everyone else looks like they're just waiting for Alexis to score.

Yeah, Bournemouth playing very well. Making it dead hard for us to do anything.

We're still awful. Ozils form has gone off a cliff recently.

mansize

So Sky say a pen but a soft one.

I disagree

No Santi no Özil

emmetlego

Also, is it always Monreal that gives away penalties? My memory isn't great, but AFAIK, he's the offender in more cases than most! Should have had one against him last week too!

Never a pen. Free out if anything. Of course Jamie redknapp would say that...I mean, hes an idiot.

No balls at all and absolutely no defensive side to his game.
Great passer though.

Nope. Kos holds that title.

He wasn't bought to defend. Alexis loses the ball far more often tbf

In what period?

If the ref hadn't given that pen I don't think anyone would be talking about that incident

Must be close. Where would I find the stats?

He does but he tries to get it back and often does. Ozil does not.

Still think Özil maintains possession better, allowing for Sanchez to recover his fcuk ups

Haven't seen any for 2014 - 16 but up to that Kos was ahead and still is afaik.

Better pressing this half so far, and the crowd sound more vocal too. COYG

MonsterCookie

OG needed. I'd take Ox off.

omega man

Theo!

mansize

Theo

wonga77

Beautiful bit of skill from Ozil, 2-1 Walcott

emmetlego

Boom. Theo. Ozil was mesmeric in the box there in the build up!

tayto lover

Theo :D
Deserved on our second-half performance so far.

mansize

That's what Özil does!!!

omega man

Credit to Monreal in fairness

That'll do Mesut, that'll do

Ball in from Monreal was fantastic.

wonga77

We need a third though, ive no confidence in a 2 - 1 lead

Mr.Micro

Let us press on and get a third and not sit back again.

tayto lover

We need a third.

F**k that, we need a 4th... Even at 3-1 up we could collapse!!! :-)

mansize

In the last few seasons it's been monreal

emmetlego

Sanchez and Ozil are just buzzing at the moment. Really like Xhaka and Elneny together. ANd how the f**k is that a free!!!This ref...

AdamD

That free given against ox is baffling, ref hasn't a breeze.

Skylinehead

Ref is diabolically bad.

mansize

This ref is an idiot

mansize

Needless yellow from Alexis

In his head he is thinking the home crowd are just trying to get on top of me I'm so going to be influenced and therefore going hardline in there favour

The shoulder to shoulder was a consequence of that

mansize

My picture is great! Thanks again

wonga77

we are so slow and ponderous with the ball

Couldn't even find his name on that.
