388 - How Arteta's Arsenal Were SHOWN UP By AFC Bournemouth

This weekend Arsenal fans witnessed something fairly rare - Mikel Arteta getting tactically outclassed at the Emirates. Coming up against Andoni Iraola's Bournemouth, the away sides' victory wasn’t just a smash-and-grab - it was a game where Iraola’s structure, pressing, and in-game adjustments exposed the cracks in Arteta's system.

In this Second Look, we break down:

▫️ How Bournemouth disrupted Arsenal’s build-up

▫️ The tactical tweaks that turned the game

▫️ Where Arteta got it badly wrong

▫️ Why this result could have HUGE title race implications

We also ponder this week's off-the-pitch decisions, which have left a number of fans frustrated and questioning the club’s direction - after price rises were announced. Plus after the latest "Cherries Unpicked", we ponder the future of Andoni Iraola, where Bournemouth's match commentator Jordan Clark couldn't help but admit that he was "picking up bad vibes" regarding the Basque boss's future.
