Arsenal equal unwanted record against Bournemouth which sums up Premier League struggles

Arsenal’s 2-1 defeat against Bournemouth on Saturday fill in the club’s biggest problems this season to an explosion of 45 minutes.

The Mikel Arteta team, which is declining in the first half, was only occupied by Rice Deklan, to be retracted with targets from Dean Huijsen and Evanilson. Another feature that ensured that Arsenal has decreased 21 points from winning this season – equivalent to the record of the unwanted club for one campaign in the Premier League, for each. Opta.

The nature of Bournemouth was painfully familiar to the artillery.

“The key was the plays in the second half,” explained by Cherries Andoni Iraola after the match. “In the end in these nearby games to make teams in the plays, it was the key to taking the three points.”

Arsenal has strengthened Street, making the difference to the maximum of the goal in recent seasons, and still boasts of one of the best attacks in the department. However, their attempts to defend dead balls have left a lot to be desirable.

Gunners has shipped 12 specific goals this season – the same that fell the city of Epswich and a toll that topped only three clubs in the Premier League. Arteta has drafted a arsenal in a stifling compact mass in open play, ensuring that the positions of dead football represent 38.7 % of all the goals that threw this term, comfortably the highest percentage in the department.

Arteta was in the wrong mood at the end of Saturday’s defeat. “We should have killed the game and did not do that,” the Spanish president smokes. “Moreover, if you are defending your box in two pieces in the way we have done, you are in a big and big problem.”

Arsenal was guilty of abandoning the expected clients throughout the campaign. At the beginning of the season, Gunners could blame early red cards for this skiing – ten men from North London’s clothes fell to Brighton and Manchester City by September.

However, this issue has been swollen into a caricature in recent weeks. Arsenal occupied the initiative in the last five Premier League matches, but only against Epswich if they were able to secure victory. These chronic explosions – which are undoubtedly conditional by Arsenal in the semi -finals of the Champions League – have given up nine points last month.

ARTETA problems to fix them before paying the next season to climb above the second are clear. Solutions may be a little more difficult to decode.
