‘Arnie’ claims “the points were taken from us”

|

arnau2Marko Arnautovic refused to mince his words after the Bournemouth debacle declaring: “I don’t know if I can be happy with this one point because, for me, the three points were taken away from us.”

The club’s record signing – speaking to the official site declared: I think we were unlucky to only take one point, particularly with how the game ended.

“It was a hard game, a difficult game, and it was tricky for both sides. We tried to defend good but in the second half Bournemouth attacked more. Then I think we turned the game around into a winning position.

“After that, everybody knows what happened. I don’t know if I can be happy with this one point because, for me, the three points were taken away from us.”

“It was zero points, then three points, then one point. It was a crazy game for people to come and watch. We entertained everybody this Boxing Day and I hope people enjoyed the match, but I would have enjoyed it more if we had won.”

We have to believe, of course. We’re not in a brilliant position but we have to keep fighting and I’m sure we can turn things around. Our next game is at home, where we will try to take a win.”

    Should not get into this position again and again we do will we never learn

    Despite the refereeing error and Arnie’s comments, we didn’t play consistently well, and once again, ere disorganized in midfield. Ultimately, we had to rely on Bergovic’s 2 goal-keeping mistakes to keep us in it.
    At the end of the day, a draw was probably a fair result.
    We must start playing better than this, otherwise we will be chicken fodder against other clubs and a real worry for relegation.
