The atmosphere among Arsenal supporters here at Kenya after the disappointing 2-1 defeat to Bournemouth is quite noticeable. The collective sigh of disappointment echoes through social media and in discussions.
There’s a significant level of frustration, not just over losing points in the league, but also regarding the manner of the loss – allowing two goals from set-pieces feels particularly frustrating. The VAR decision that led to Bournemouth's second goal has ignited animated discussions, with many Kenyan Gooners considering it an unfair call.
The timing of this defeat, just days ahead of the crucial Champions League semi-final second leg against PSG, has intensified the disappointment. The hope that had been building around the European campaign has been somewhat crushed.
You can find many expressing doubts about the team's mental strength and their capacity to recover in Paris. PSG also had a surprising loss in their league, this offers a glimmer of hope, but the prevailing sentiment here leans towards anxiety.
There’s a concern that this setback could undermine the players’ confidence and complicate an already difficult challenge in Paris. The defensive mistakes, especially from set-pieces, are a significant worry, as everyone knows PSG possesses notable aerial threats. The discussions have shifted from Premier League ambitions to whether Arsenal can achieve something remarkable in Paris following this discouraging home defeat.
