    Anderson drives into the box but goes down very easily when handed off by Smith.

    Lovely interplay between Anderson and Arnie, and then Hernandez who gets a good shot away, pushed away for a corner that goes nowhere.

    Great save by Fabianski, almost similar to the offside goal last week, just passed right through the centre of our back line but the shot by Wilson was just too close to Fabianski.

    Fantastic save by Fab. But where was his marker?

    Penalty, surely.

    Long delay after the foul on Hernandez, long delay and ref didn't look to give it, but I think the lino finally made up his mind.

    Arnie taking it???????

    Noble not taking pens :/
  • HammerwombatHammerwombat
    Yes, for absolute certainty.

    Doesn't look so clear cut on the latest angle, Hernandez's foot looked to be slipping out from under him before the slight touch by Ake's trailing leg, but they're given against us all the time.

    Great ball from Anderson before Hernandez won the penalty. Confidence is flowing now.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Definitely on top at the moment, could do with another as you know Bournemouth will come back into this.

    Good tracking back and tackle by Zabaleta after Bournemouth break dangerously.

    Noble in the book.

    Is that really a big deal?

    Well if they want claret around the edge of the pitch, Millwall visiting in the cup should solve that ;hmm

    Ref took a long time to go to his pocket. Can’t help feeling that some of that was Noble talking back. If he had just walked away he may not have got booked.

    Corner to Bournemouth, decent punch by Fab, but Bournemouth get a throw from their long throw specialist and another corner. Another punch by Fab, ball gets knocked back in and their player is unmarked but heads wide, a real let off.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Arnie breaks dangerously, shoulda slipped Anderson in but elects to shoot, which gets part blocked and saved by their keeper. Straight down our end and they have a chance but a great block by (I think) Rocky. Then a penalty claim against us for handball, but I barely saw that.

    No, just commenting as it had been mentioned a new surround was in the pipeline.

    We showed towards the end that our defence is susceptible to the through ball. Can’t see us keeping a clean sheet so we need at least one more goal.

    There has just been an adjudication (in our favour) saying the LLDC have to change the covering.

    We have offered to pay for it (even though they are financially responsible for it), but they are playing games, and suggesting they want to make it part of a sponsorship deal. (Hows that worked out so far, LLDC?)

    Agreed, the defence still need loads of work, they had 2 great chances when they got players through our high backline for a completely unmarked attempt on goal.

    For all our good work and pressure further forward, we could easily be level or behind at half time.

    Not sure Wenger typed on a forum while watching ;lol .

    Haven't seen it shown again but Galey has just said it looked like a pen.

    Bournemouth start the stronger in the second half, good save by Fabs.

    Ogbonna down injured, hamstring?
