It seems like any slightly disappointing Arsenal result is labelled a crisis these days.
Regardless of the fact they came back from three goals down with just twenty minutes remaining to claim a point away from home against a very decent Bournemouth side, the Gunners have been largely criticised for their efforts at the Vitality Stadium on Tuesday night – with some claiming they’re now out of the title race.
Admittedly, however, there was something typically Arsenal about the performance, making hard work for themselves and celebrating one point like they’d just lifted the Champions League title, and questions must inevitably be asked (once again) of Arsene Wenger.

After all, Arsenal shouldn’t be going 3-0 down to a mid-table side and although the players must take some responsibility, it’s clear they weren’t prepared for the match properly either, finding themselves harassed, harangued and punished by the Cherries for the opening hour.
As we all know, Wenger’s contract at the Emirates Stadium is due to expire at the end of the season. Of course, we’ve been here before but there’s a growing feeling that the timing is right for Wenger to step down and let a new manager take the club in a slightly different, more clinical direction.
The Wenger-In and Wenger-Out camps seem more divided than ever, so we’re attempting to settle the debate once and for all with a simple question; should Le Prof step down this summer? Let us know your thoughts below…
