That wasn't a VAR decision, ref went straight to penalise Martial. Whether VAR could have then punished Lamela is different story but I don't think the blame should be pointed to VAR there. Also Bailly giving another red card scare there.

Edit: refereeing for consequences instead of actions is something I've never liked. Illegal tackles are still illegal if a player doesn't go down. Same with this card, it felt like Lamela collapsing so theatrically is what brought really any attention to that incident. Had Martial gone down after the elbow, would Lamela have been sent off instead?

Hmm yeah on the red for Martial that makes sense but VAR should get involved on Lamela 100% its violent conduct.

Taylor is such a shit referee. I can't see how you can give Lamela and Martial different punishments there.

Lol that tackle from Luke Shaw. He's just had enough and gone fuck this. Not really his fault what's happened, don't blame him

Lewandowski vs Haaland is going to be a fun race to follow this season though.

Adrian is a keeper that can lose you a season. Just not good enough even as backup. For every good save he makes he gifts a goal to the opponent.

And yeah i just heard that it was shoulder injury just he was doubt for Arsenal monday because of potential covid so put 2 and 2 together and came out with 5 lol.

With Adrian though he came in for start of last season and was insane, he carried in Super Cup against us and vs West Ham he did fantastic for them. Clearly mistake in this game but i dont think he is awful though. In this weekend prem games every keeper has made a mistake it seems.
