3 positives & negatives from Arsenal's 2-0 defeat at Bournemouth

Negative #3: Ben White's torrid day

Jurrien Timber getting to make the right-back spot his own before the international break looked harsh on White. Not so much after the Englishman was toyed with by successive Bournemouth wide players.

White was one of Arsenal's most consistent players the last two seasons, but he looked distinctly out of sorts against Dango Ouattara. The latter routinely had the beating of White, but too often lacked the craft and quality to play the right final ball.

Unfortunately for Arsenal, that changed once Kluivert and Luis Sinisterra entered the fray. Both took turns running White ragged.

Just for the topper, White even found himself booked for taking too long over a throw-in. Pedantic refereeing? Maybe, but as long as Arsenal are going to hail and use the vaunted 'dark arts,' the less we get to complain about incurring punishment.

Positive #3: Gabriel Jesus looked lively

We're officially into the bottom of the bargain bucket in search of positives, so how about some love for Gabriel Jesus? Like his fellow sub Martinelli, Arsenal's No. 9 managed to look lively in limited action.

A weaving run almost through the entirety of Bournemouth's back line was vintage Jesus. Typical of the running power, clever and tricky feet that can make the Brazilian a joy to watch.

Jesus needs something to salvage his Arsenal career. A spark to help put him back on the map as a player who belongs in the Gunners' best XI.

It would be a mistake to ignore the 27-year-old's ability to produce something out of the ordinary. Especially when this Arsenal team is becoming predictable and almost robotic going forward.
