But Arterta was the genesis of their own defeat by the way. He has no reason to be surprised with the end result. He doesn't necessarily need to defend all when playing with ten men against eleven. Why not play three at back and continue with his game? Pep, his master never succumb in games like this. In fact, he used to substitute a forward even when City is down and end up winning the game at times. Resorting to defend will only bring more pressure that they can not withstand and one out of two will definitely happen, either the opponent score or you concede a penalty. He should have a reflect as well to Liverpool against Spur last season when Liverpool was down with two red cards.

By the way, Arsenal players are getting use to conceding unnecessary red cards. They have lost important points because of red cards that can be avoided. Arterta need to speak about with them because it is obvious he didn't care about their conduct on pitch because if he did, they won't be repeating same mistake over and over again. You can not be a champion when you are getting red card in every match week for silly decisions.

Arsenal defeat shows that Arteta did not have a Plan B in the match against Bournemouth. There was no anticipation of the possibilities that could happen, such as a red card that was received unexpectedly and made their game after the card unstable. This was a fatal mistake when Arsenal felt above the clouds to win the match, and surprisingly Bournemouth 2 goals could not be replied to at all. Arsenal players focused on defending totally to fill the position that Saliba left.

That red card messed up the fine display we're suppose to see from the Gunners and it also showed how weak the team was without these key players and they can't do anything to change the way they play and if you noticed how they performed against Manchester City is different from how they played against Bournemouth. Is as if they prefer to do better against City than any other team, that's when they play with one man down. I think the mentality is not that positive into winning games or staying consistent, that's with a man down, they aren't serious.
I don't really know which set of players that would be in the defense line against Liverpool because if Arteta decide to use these same guys he used after Saliba was shown the red card then Liverpool are going to make sure Arsenal lose the game starting from the first half. For now is too early, let's see how the Gunners play in the UCL.

I also did not expect why Arsenal could lose at Bournemouth's home without reply even though it still places them in third place in the current standings even though there is one other team that has also been able to equal the number of points with Arsenal at this time, namely Aston Villa. Meanwhile, for Manchester United who have been able to win their home game, of course they don't have to be happy yet because they still need more wins in order to be in a better ranking because the position occupied by Manchester United is still quite bad and very unsuitable for a team like Manchester United.

While Manchester United doesn't have a good situation and they are about to even get their coach Ten Hag fired from this team, it seems now there is another bad news for them about their player, Kobbie Mainoo. In the game against Aston Villa in which they got a 0-0 result, Kobbie Mainoo got injured and he couldn't continue the game.
Also, he was absent from the England national team in October,
Now it seems he will be out for a long time and Kobbie Mainoo can't play in 6-7 games for Manchester United.

I want this team to win against teams like Bournemouth even when reduced to 10 men instead of going completely off afterward. The fact is that they lost...
But Saliba has to move on and learn the lesson.  There is no time to dwell on it and no time to feel sorry for ourselves.
And the chance to quickly turn the page on the next game is just around the corner. The quicker the fans get that Bournemouth game behind the better.
I expect a positive reaction from Arsenal next week... good luck

Sadly he was the very key player they had in that game yesterday as Saka and Martinelli wasn't in that game due to injuries so more likely there was some sort of dependency on him and now having him out without an outright replacement was a challenge which aswell had some phycological effect on them as their rhythm did changed all through the game and they managed to end the first half goalless but the second half got it obvious the absence of the key player they had for the day and their opponent took good advantage and made sure to get the best off the game.

Saliba’s red card is only reason Arsenal lost yesterday. Bournemouth are a mid table team and could not have bested a complete Arsenal squad. Arsenal have been solid this season when they go pick a red card, their fans were probably hopeful they would be able to pull off a draw like they have done in other games, unfortunately they were not so lucky this time. Bad weekend for Arsenal fans, I don’t see a light at the end of the tunnel for them because they will be playing Liverpool next.

What can I say, this has always been inherent to Arsenal, they can score points with strong opponents, but the biggest problem for them was losses with weak opponents, unnecessary losses that spoiled everything for them. What I want to note is how many red cards there were in the Premier League yesterday, it’s somehow abnormally many, by the way, this is not the first time that Arsenal has problems because they receive a red card. If Chelsea take points from Liverpool today, it will be a great weekend for Guardiola.

Yea but that's why the game is called soccer sometimes it favour the expected team and sometimes too we see otherwise that's football, though arsenal performance yesterday was very unlike them, though people will attribute their loss in this game by arsenal to the absence of most of their key players, it is also possible that such could be the reason for their defeat, I think arsenal is not suppose to lose that match by 2:0 in favour of Bournemouth despite having a shortage of one player due to the red card shown to shaliba in the 30th minute of the match, I expected the gunners to manage the situation atleast a draw would have been a better one by arsenal, though the league is still open but arsenal shouldn't be creating this kind of loophole.
Although I must admit to the fact that the absence of Saka was felt so much in that match, the overall performance of arsenal as a team was very poor in the match, though they did has been done,I hope they learn from it.

Talking about Liverpool having advantage with the existing red card of arsenal and their poor performance, yea its true, as you have said already, let hope that arteta will do something to remedy the situation because the Liverpool we know have a very bug force so arsenal is being faced with such challenge it may be a very good opportunity for Liverpool to win them in their next week encounter unless there is a kind of good orientation by arteta to his entire team not the defense alone.

While Liverpool have to play against strong team Chelsea i think Manchester City must take the advantage of this match to get 3 points and it is confirmed that Manchester City will playing without Rodri, De Bruyne and Nathan Ake but i think it's not a big deal for Manchester City because their current opponent is Wolves and during this season Wolves has been displayed poor performance and they have already to conceded 21 goals which these records makes them as the team with the poorest defense in Premier league and Wolves has been suffering 5 consecutive loses in all competitions even the latest is Wolves lost from Brentford with huge scores so in my opinion although Manchester City will playing without some of their important players but they can easily win from this match even most likely Manchester City can win with 2 goals margin or more

This defeat should not be considered too excessive, especially when associated with the Premier League title race, of course it is still very far away and Arsenal still has a big chance for that.
Arsenal's defeat after the international break I think is understandable because some players are injured and the impact of the international break which makes Arsenal's performance not as usual so they have to lose against a mid-table team.

Arsenal game was very bad after their defender William Saliba got red card, everything became mess and Arsenal front and back lines became disoriented so that Bournemouth could take advantage of the situation by winning.
This was very embarrassing defeat for Arsenal, even Arteta seemed unable to believe his team lost to Bournemouth, this is one example that Arsenal is not team that has champion mentality because when something bad happens like player getting red card and only playing with 10 players it can destroy their confidence.
I chose two matches this time by making Tottenham and Arsenal as favorites, Tottenham managed to win but Arsenal made the betting slip defeat.

After the win, I'm not seeing the anti-Erik ten Hag outers, the critics and haters. They're not giving him his credits for handling that game yesterday, but it's fine. It's okay to see that some lack football knowledge. Come next would be the game against Jose Mourinho and his Fenebache side during the Europa league competition. I looked at Thomas Franks tactical approach to his game and wondered if this is the man they want to replace Erik ten Hag? These fans are just too loud and at the same time without patience. Come January, I'm begging Manchester United to also make a move for Victor Osimhen. They need a goal scorer who knows how to position well and at the same time, convert the chances he has.

This is the first time this season that the Gunners have played an awful game that even a shot on target is difficult to get in the EPL, just 1 shot on target which is unlike the Arsenal team. Saka's absence made the Gunners to perform so terribly. I was disappointed with how sluggish the Arsenal side were against the Bournemouth side that wasn't too aggressive and I wonder why the Gunners still play from the back. Building from the back has never favored the Arsenal team in any way and teams these days make it mandatory to always start from behind instead of kicking the ball upfront. Raya and the other guys played like a team that doesn't want the EPL title and that's why Manchester City are better than the North London team Arsenal.
Only if Saka was present this encounter would have been Arsenal's game to win to bag in the 3pt but since the force to get goals isn't there they started playing like a division 2 team and Trossard was pretty poor in his performance and his reckless pass caused Saliba's red card.
With the red card Liverpool have an advantage ahead of the Gunners ahead of next week game, I just hope Arteta finds a way to adjust and also talk some sense into the defense line if not the pressure the reds will come with will force Arsenal's defense to make more errors like we saw against Bournemouth.

Tottenham secured a convincing 4-1 victory, with two goals coming from deflections. For a team that constantly pushes forward in attack, there are risks, like being caught on the counter, but there are also benefits — sometimes luck goes your way, as seen with those deflections. One shot hit the post and didn’t go in, another hit the post and bounced in. This is what happens when you attack a lot.

Tottenham continues to be one of the most exciting teams in the Premier League. It doesn’t guarantee they’ll always win, but more often than not, they'll get results, especially against struggling teams like West Ham.

So, this is the team where bookies predict they will become a champion in this season?

After Saliba sent off to the bench, Bournemouth take over the match and scored 2 goals. Arsenal is nothing without Saka, while Manchester City can still able to stand up without Rodri and De Bruyne.

On the other hand, Manchester United vs Brentford really make people got heart attack when Brentford successfully scored the first goal. Fortunately Manchester United can comeback, many people are surprised lol.

I think you are not the only one who is disappointed with Arsenal's result against Bournemouth, there must be many people who bet on Arsenal's victory because we think Arsenal will beat Bournemouth easily because Bournemouth's performance has been quite bad lately and Arsenal wants to continue to be in the title race with Liverpool and Man City but unfortunately Arsenal lost the match and they lost 3 important points but I think this is because Arsenal only played with 10 men since the first half so they were careless in maintaining their defense.

In addition, Newcastle also lost at home, I bet on BTTS but unfortunately Newcastle also couldn't score a goal into Brighton's goal so Arsenal wasn't the only one who caused my bet to lose.

The chance to get the premier league trophy is still wide open. When I look at statistic, Liverpool, the city and Villa have the same range points with arsenal. I think, You make decision like this because Arsenal just playing bad on one time. We have to look on next week and how they can get point on champions league on next 2 days. If happen, then they have problem on 1 match versus Bournemouth only. I thing Arsenal lost because Andoni Iraola know how to beat Arteta strategy because both come from the same country. They are friends and challenge together on Antiguoko (amateur team) on spain long time ago when they were teenagers.

Manchester United's performance in the first half was less than optimal where many opportunities were obtained but were not able to be completed properly. Entering the end of the first half, it was the opposing player who managed to score a goal by utilizing a corner kick and finished by Pinnock with a beautiful header. Manchester United managed to make a comeback in the second half so that they managed to score two goals for the victory. A fairly unexpected result occurred in the Bournemouth match against Arsenal where the red card received by Saliba changed everything for the worse even though Arsenal managed to control the course of the match.

For Liverpool's match, it might end with a win or at least a draw because I'm sure they won't waste the chance to get a positive result in the match. Liverpool also won't let Manchester City shift their position in the standings so a win is something they must get.
