Bolasie Joins Mikel Obi in Criticizing Arsenal’s Cautious Play After Bournemouth Loss

Former Premier League winger Yannick Bolasie pulled no punches after Arsenal’s 2-1 defeat at Bournemouth. He slammed the Gunners’ “safety first” approach and questioned why goalkeeper David Raya led their passing stats. Bolasie pointed out that high pass completion means little when most passes go backwards or sideways. He mocked Arsenal’s risk-averse buildup and called it “dead stats people get rated for these days.” Super Eagles legend John Mikel Obi also weighed in. In March, he labeled Arsenal’s reliance on set-pieces “illegal” and “ugly to watch.”
