The Arsenal fans in the Transfer Tavern aren’t feeling too good at the moment…

It’s been a torrid start to the season for the Gunners, having failed to make a return to form following a dismal campaign last term.

Having finished outside of the top four for the first time in recent memory last year, it’s clear that a lot of work was needed to make things right.

That work did come, to a point, with both Alexandre Lacazette and Sead Kolasinac coming in, but the Gunners needed more. That has been evidenced by their poor start to the season.

However, there is still time to turn things around, starting with a win against Bournemouth this weekend. It will be a tough game, and given the current circumstances, Arsene Wenger would be wise to call on a few of his proven stars.

With that said, Wenger must start these 2 Arsenal players against Bournemouth – agreed?

Olivier Giroud

Olivier Giroud has been used as a sub more often than not lately, and that has worked well for the Gunners.

However, Arsenal’s game against Bournemouth is so important, and they’re going to need the experience of their more senior players.

Giroud certainly falls under that banner, and he provides the Gunners with real leadership going forward, not to mention his goalscoring record.

Alexis Sanchez

There are doubts over his future, sure, but if he is fit – he simply has to start.

Sanchez is the one truly world class player that Arsenal have, and that can be the difference between a mid table finish and a top four finish this season.

Bournemouth won’t be able to handle him going forward.
