Lol. How was that not a penalty? He literally did a goalkeeper dive there!
|
sad thing is his dive almost got a goal scored by deflection

Oh dear, that could cost Potter his job as well, going forward at least.
We looked better in spells today, some great attacking style but some switching off moments and some terrible subs from Potter and we splutter over the line for a 1-1 draw.
Zyiech should not be near the club, he wanted to go to PSG and just doesn't suit any kind of style we want to play as a winger. Cucurella has just turned into such a poor left back and has 0 confidence and needs rest of the season off to get his head straight like Sancho got at Yanited. Loftus Cheek just is not a top level player either.
Oh well, we go into the next game and hype ourselves up and see what happens, at least we scored today, scored 3 actually 2 were offside (correctly given i think, Kai one was very close)

I feel like we're repeating the same mistakes we did last week vs Everton. We have a ton of possession but we can't seem to do w anything with it. Every time we get into the final third, we give up the ball or shoot either right ah the keeper or way into the stands
|
Yeah we're not winning the title this year
|
So apparently the Ref that missed the obvious handball is the head of VAR...? Irony.
|
20+ shots, 70% possession, and fuck all to show for it. Well at least we'll get a CL spot
|
The most frustrating aspect of the past two games is how utterly clueless we look against teams playing a 4-5-1 or 3-5-2 formation. We don't even try something new to get past it, we just make the same plays over and over

The Finnish commentary talked about it being around 2.5 or so. As much as it can be misleading, that's also a pretty damning number.

I guess the VAR decided the defender went to ground in an attempt to block the shot and the arm was supporting him as he fell, so it is not a penalty.
Edit: Not saying I agree, but I think that is the argument.

I don't like how the rule is applied here, but there is an argument that it's by the book.
I think the rule is supposed to protect players from handballing while falling down or performing a slide, but I'm not sure how you'd define those without leaving some room for vague interpretation.

Except there is no opposing player anywhere near the player that touched the ball with his hand.

The game was very open from an Arsenal perspective, they were defending 2 on 2 due to such a high line and over commitment, if they do that vs Haaland and De Bruyne on Wednesday they could be in trouble, still the idea is they dont lose possession as much as they did this game etc
|
rashfords form is insane. guys turning into haaland
|
Hoping Arsenal legend Unai Emery can do us a solid today
|
What an absolute bunch of wankers
