Glenn Murray criticizes Arsenal player for poor performance in loss to Bournemouth.

According to former Premier League striker Glenn Murray, Arsenal's goalkeeper David Raya had his worst performance yet in their recent 2-0 defeat against Bournemouth. Mikel Arteta's team suffered their first loss of the season and were also reduced to 10 men after William Saliba received a red card in the first half.

Bournemouth took the lead in the 70th minute through a well-executed corner kick routine by Ryan Christie. Raya then brought down Evanilson in the penalty area, resulting in Justin Kluivert scoring from the spot and doubling the hosts' lead.

Raya has been one of Arsenal's top players this season, but Murray believes he was "very under par" in this particular match. "From the start, it seemed like they weren't pressing Bournemouth with the same energy and intensity," Murray shared with Premier League Productions. He praised Arteta's influence on the team and their strong mentality, but felt that this match showed shades of the "old Arsenal."

Murray specifically pointed out Raya's performance, saying it was "probably one of his worst moments in an Arsenal shirt." He noted that Raya made some important saves, but his passing and overall play were not up to par.

Former Arsenal midfielder Emmanuel Petit echoed Murray's sentiments, stating that the entire team seemed to be at the same level in terms of their performance. He observed that they looked tired both physically and mentally, and their usual quality and pressure on opponents was lacking.

Both Murray and Petit agreed that this was not the Arsenal team they were used to seeing in recent years. They felt that the players looked sloppy and lacked their usual rhythm and aggressiveness.

Despite this disappointing result, Arsenal fans can take comfort in knowing that this is just one match and the team has shown strong performances under Arteta. With their coach's positive influence and their strong mentality, they will surely bounce back from this defeat.
