Arsenal team against Bournemouth was their WORST EVER - Jamie Redknapp
ARSENAL’s starting XI against Bournemouth today was the worst Jamie Redknapp has ever seen.
Arsenal's team against Bournemouth was their worst every, says Redknapp
Bournemouth beat Arsenal 2-1 at the Vitality Stadium to condemn the Gunners to their sixth Premier League defeat of the season.
Goals from Callum Wilson and Jordon Ibe turned the game on its head in the second half after Hector Bellerin had opened the scoring for the visitors.
It was Arsenal’s youngest team in the Premier League for over five years, with contract rebels Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil both missing from the squad.
Redknapp claims this side is not a patch on previous Arsenal teams under Arsene Wenger.
I’d probably say it’s the worst Arsenal team I’ve seen
“You say the youngest, I’d probably say it’s the worst Arsenal team I’ve seen,” he said on Sky Sports after the defeat to Bournemouth.
“I think if you’re looking at the blue-chip of years gone by; the Henrys, the Bergkamps, players like that.
“There’s no players who can get in the hall of fame in this side. Very disappointing today, they didn’t do enough for me.
“I think Graeme Souness used the word ordinary.

“Everywhere, all round the pitch and it’s the same failings, that lack of desire to get themselves back in the game.
“They came back to 1-1 and you could just see it was inevitable, you could see there were no characters out there, no one pulling players into position.
“A hugely disappointing result from Arsenal and performance, it really was.”
