From 30 for 30 podcasts. Brian Pata, senior defensive lineman from Miami, gunned down. The key to this case, it's Brian. An hour before he died, he was on the phone arguing with somebody. This might be a hit. You want the truth. They just want a conviction. Being placed under arrest. We had a killer amongst us. Murder at the U. Listen now.
Hello and welcome into the latest edition of ESPN FC. Kay Murray, Craig Burley, Stevie Nicholl here in the studio kicking things off tonight in the Premier League where Arsenal were taking on Bournemouth. And it was a game that did not go their way. In the 17th minute, Junior Kruppi gave Bournemouth the lead after some poor defending from Arsenal. However, Arsenal would level things out after Gabriel's ball came off the hand of Ryan Christie. A penalty was given. Victor Jokeres would step up and score that to make it 1-1. but the decisive goal came in the 74th minute from Bournemouth. It was Alex Scott who advanced and finished in the roof of the net to give Bournemouth all three points and another bad result for Arsenal.
Well, they do still have a nine-point lead at the top of the table, but that could be cut to six when City play Chelsea tomorrow. But let's get word from Mikel Arteta speaking after the game. It's extremely disappointing. It's a big punch on the face. That's what I said to the boys and now it's about how we react to that. Because the game on is going to require now a big spirit, a lot of fight and very clear.
How are we going to approach that? There are no great areas. We are in, we are out and we need to be very, very, very strong and determined to approach it in a different way than we did today, especially when the game wasn't going our way. Today there were some very basic things that we did extremely badly against the team.
When you do that, even to capitalise and stress the piece, the game becomes very chaotic and very difficult to control.
So, yeah, it's a lot of good things that they've done, obviously, and credit to them.
But I think there is a lot, a lot, a lot in our plate to look at ourselves.
Jan Agafjartov joining us now. We'll hear from Jan in just a moment. I want your reaction, Stevie, to what we saw today and the fact that Arsenal have dropped points in this title race. You know, after the game is finished, I can't help thinking that Ateta is the problem. You know, Arsenal have...
What were the key moments in Arsenal's loss to Bournemouth?
Going forward, Arsenal recently in the Premier League have struggled to create clear chances, to have any sort of combination, and they've been picking points up with surprise, surprise, set pieces, maybe an individual piece of brilliance. But as a unit, they've had nothing going forward. Now, you can look at that and say, well, sometimes that happens. You've got too many forward players who are out of form. But in terms of the whole team... If you want to win the Premier League or any title, you have to go and win it. Nobody's going to hand it to you. It's not just going to drop in your lap. And to me, that's down to the manager, how he puts you on the field. And this Arsenal team stepping on the field should have been thinking about squeezing life out of Bournemouth, getting in their face, making it tough for them.
Instead of that, they were standing off and letting Bournemouth pass the ball around. You do that with this Bournemouth side and they're going to create chances. And guess what? You end up losing two goals. I understand that some players are not informed, and you could say that about pretty much every forward player that Arsenal has, whether it's Jesus coming on, Havertz at 10, why is Eze not playing, Martinelli got nothing, Trossard gave nothing, Medveke didn't do anything. I mean, the young kid down, you're asking a 16-year-old to get you out the mire. He can't do it all the time. I think... the biggest problem they have is Arteta not putting them on the field in the right frame of mind. I don't think Zubi Mendy's playing well either, Stephen.
No. I mean, Scott ran off him for the goal there. Yep. And he was gluing the whole thing together at the start of the season.
