Arsenal fans share thoughts on Kolasinac's performance against Bournemouth

Arsenal went third in the Premier League table thanks to a 1-0 win over Bournemouth at the Emirates Stadium.

The Gunners are now just a point behind Manchester City after the champions’ shock home defeat to Wolverhampton Wanderers, and there is a feeling of optimism in north London again.

Arsenal have lost just one game in all competitions so far this season, which is encouraging given their attack is yet to hit top form.

Unai Emery will be pleased with the fact his side have kept two straight clean sheets, with the defence having come under a lot of criticism so far this term.

Despite the win-to-nil result, Arsenal’s backline was still somewhat unconvincing, barring Calum Chambers who really impressed at right-back.

One man who continues to look shaky is Sead Kolasinac, who got the nod ahead of Kieran Tierney.

The Bosnia international’s position in the side is now under threat with Tierney now firmly in the picture after recovering from injury, and his performance against Bournemouth was indifferent.

Perhaps it wasn’t his worst display of the season, but some Arsenal fans were still left less than impressed:

Kolasinac shouldn’t even make the bench ever again

Kolasinac is such a weak link in this team…

Kolasinac, 90+ minutes 1-0 up and man is still charging forward. Silly man. Tierney after international break

I wish Kolasinac was good at something.
I really want to love the guy.

Still below acceptable average, the day Tierny will play, kolasinac won’t step on that carpet again.

I thought Andre Santos was bad. Kolasinac is worse. https://t.co/puYuM4MTiA

He’s picking the wrong ‘first team’ IMO. Tierney has to play now, Kolasinac simply not up to it. Xhaka slows the game down and it’s all a little predictable. But to his credit he is trusting the younger players more than some managers would. Sounds contradictory I know.

Kolasinac is decent, but his final pass is woeful

I actually don’t care. Kolasinac is not good enough. https://t.co/h2Wi6fftwc

We are still shaky at the back today.
Pepe played better than last week.
Xhaka is still giving away spotkicks.
Kolasinac is still a liability in defense.
Chambers is not a bad RB at all.

But Guendouzi is still talented for his age.
Saka is still a joy to watch

Can’t wait for Tierney to start. Kolasinac is terrible defensively and hides in the build up phase.

FT Thoughts:
• Martinelli needs to be started and given a chance
• Pepe showed glimpses of what he will give us. Footwork unreal
• Callum Chambers deserves to stay in the team, whether it’s CB or CDM.
• Cannot wait for tierney to come back, Kolasinac cannot attack or defend
