A number of Arsenal fans have taken to Twitter to comment on Bukayo Saka’s performance during the Gunners’ Boxing Day draw with Bournemouth.

There was enormous intrigue at the Vitality Stadium with Mikel Arteta taking charge of Arsenal for the first time since being appointed. But it appeared that it may prove to be a disappointing start for the Spaniard.

Dan Gosling scored the opening goal for the Cherries 10 minutes before the break after some questionable football at the back from the visitors.

But Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang produced a smart finish during the second-half to level the game up. A point is an encouraging start for Arteta, who will be under no illusions of how much work lies ahead.

One position that Arteta cannot do too much about right now is left-back. With both Kieran Tierney and Sead Kolasinac out injured, Bukayo Saka kept his place in the unfamiliar role.

And it looks fair to say that it is not a position where the talented winger looks overly comfortable.

Plenty of Arsenal fans have expressed some sympathy for Saka. They are keen to not be too critical of his performance given his age and the role he is playing.

But some have implored Arteta to make a change for Sunday’s clash with Chelsea. Several insisted that his crossing was not good enough. He was extremely wasteful when he got into good positions.

And some suggested that he may not have been aggressive enough when running with the ball.
