Yup. It’s almost like when your best forward and both of your CFs are out, it’s harder to score

Especially against low blocks

Very well said.

I also think this game in particular was further under then microscope because of how bad united have been and how much Arsenal fans don’t like them

Couldn’t agree more. The Odegaard stuff out there right now just shows how little perspective a lot of fans have outside of what’s happening in that exact moment.

Sometimes you just need to zoom out

If that isn’t our season in a nutshell….

I really think the rules around penalties should be changed. They are basically a free goal.

Why give a free goal for that? Two players running away from goal and a minor collision

Just did not see that coming. What a night. So clear the six day run up at the game was so necessary to readjust what we were doing, so many more runners from deep from all over the map, we have a hell of a coach.

✌️✌️

Absolutely. We have some very classy defenders in our team. White sliding over to RCB and Timber at RB.

Calafiori can also play as a CB.

Add another good one and we are still very strong at the back, with the ability to then buy a world class forward

I think it’s also possible that the squad is a bit unbalanced as far as investment and value.

Tons of value in defence and not as much in attack

Maybe a big sale allows us to redistribute and get the attacker or two that we really want, while still having an excellent defence

This is spot on!!

But in all seriousness, what is it?

1.) the media are racist?

2.) the media hate arsenal for some reason?

3.) the media are just a bunch of wind up merchants?

4.) all of the above?

😂😂😂

So you can’t celebrate a goal in a certain way, but you’re allowed to rifle a ball into the back of somebody’s head upon scoring…
and that is totally fine and not really talked about?

What has our beloved league come to

Thank you for your service to the Arsenal community 👌😂

Maybe that’s true. We’ve certainly been on the receiving end of some dubious calls this season.

However I think it’s best if we try to move on and support the team, rather than spiralling every time a weird/contentious decisions happens

I think there was definitely contact in that challenge but totally unintentional.

A random clip in the box results in a free goal for Luckpool

Luckpool truly are back aren’t they?

Reports starting to surface that Villa are opening talks for Tel…

No idea if this is true, but my word there is reason to have hope Elliot!!

I think it’s been made very clear that they have been on the phone constantly and trying their best.

Don’t think there is any reason to believe at this point they are dragging their heels

All of a sudden surrounding the official after a controversial call is a huge offence? After that initiative got thrown out the window mid way through last season?

Unfortunately, tribalism is what’s keeping things the way they are.

People would rather paint Arsenal fans as a bunch of whiners, and AFC as a dirty team, than simply say it was another very harsh call that negatively impacted a PL match

People slowing down the MLS challenge and showing him stepping on the foot to claim it’s an obvious red have clearly NEVER played football in their lives

You get studs on top of the foot basically every game, it’s a fact of the sport… it happens.

If that’s a red card, most games end 8v8

lol

Didn’t catch it for some reason. Thanks

Any credibility on this source? Haven’t seen it anywhere else

I don’t think it’s 100% gaslighting.

I think they make some really good points about full fledged conspiracy theories and abuse towards referees.

I also think that there is some deflecting going on here and no accountability.

Are they forgetting there is an awful call to be discussed?

Using the “extremely late” excuse is just too funny to me

It wasn’t even a foul when Bruno G elbowed Jorginho in the back of the head last season and it was about 3 full seconds “late”

Where is the source on these details?!

Yah and the media have the audacity to say that Arteta “must” win trophies because he has “spent so much money”

100%

Sure looks like his forearm to me
