Yep was pretty annoyed when Kiwior came on

I wanted Kiwior to succeed but he had a big chance in his favourite position today and he failed. He's probably lost Artetas trust and understandably so.

Wenger would have never, and we were kings of winning with 10 men in his glory days.

Arteta is too cautious when we're down to 10, we needed Sterlings pace and could have been fine with Partey or Merino going off seeing as we had Rice too
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I tend to agree. We need to be braver. We were passive and hesitating.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
We started the game with 3 DM and pretty much 4 CB at the back.

He gave Bournemouth way too much respect and once again, emphasised more on defensive than attack against a very poor team

11 DMs if you believe what J99 says

To make the defeat out on Kiwior is not right.

Trossard made a massive mistake to put Saliba under this pressure.

After Martinelli missed out on the 0-1 B`mouth scored and game was done. We never looked like scoring.

I still don't understand what Kiwior was doing for their first goal. He looked like cricketer defending a boundary.

Kiwior is just sheet and I'm shocked he wasn't sold in the summer

With the players we had on the pitch I think we could have easily set-up without using a sub. Bringing on Kiwior obviously didn't work out at all. Could have dropped either Partey or Rice into the back 4 and Havertz into midfield and attacked from the wingers.

Agree with this. Thought we were going to too, for a minute. Maybe the delay in making a defensive change in the Brighton influenced Arteta’s decision.

Either way, it was the wrong call.

It's not fair to put the defeat on him but as a fringe player he had an opportunity to step up and show what he can so. Saliba is suspended so he had a chance to show.he should be in the team.

He didn't do that today and if he can't do that, he probably isn't good enough

Don't think people are putting the "defeat on Kiwior", I think they are putting it on Arteta.

Don't quote me when I was quoting GT you fat headed drunk

So many options to replace Saliba with a right footer. White and Timber cost almost a £100m.

Ahhhh alright you slim headed full head of haired drunk

if I read through the last few comments I came to the conclusion people found their culprit.

I think if Tomiyasu could stay fit he could do everything Saliba does but once again he's not available when we need him

(for Liverpool). I don't think Timber needs a lot of time to get up to pace so he comes back in at RB straight away. But if not I think its easier to cover full back than centre back. So Ben White goes to CB for me.

J99 do you have an insider that helps you understand the level of injuries we have?

Nah. Happens to all clubs. Arteta just made too many changes to make up for losing Saka.

The only change he made to make up losing Saka was to start Sterling?

And Merino.

That had nothing to do with Saka being out?
