Match Thread | Arsenal vs Man City (15/02/23)

The pundits aren’t discussing the merits of the scandalous decision, they’re discussing whether Ederson should have been sent off ycnmiu

 

[axlgod]

I’m still confused as to why Walker got booked

 

[OntarioBlue]

I think we have to make a change in the back four, probably Laporte in for Bernie.

I do wonder if we have to pull Ederson. He’s on a tightrope and you can see Taylor handing him another yellow.

 

[Tricky_Trev]

Someone just needs to give ederson a few slaps in the face. He's fucking all over the place. I can't remember the last time he saved a penalty, he's awful 1v1 and he's making really sloppy mistakes like the yellow card for time wasting and giving away goals vs Spurs.

He's got all the talent to be the best in the world, he just can't seem to be fucked.

He’s actually so fucking annoying. His passing doesn’t seem as pinpoint as it used to be either. At the point in the season when Pep was saying he’s picking those that have desire etc, I don’t get why Ederson didn’t find himself benched along with Walker, Foden, Cancelo etc. He’s the most relaxed of all of them.

I dont think for one minute that it was a penalty but fucking hell Eddy is having a nightmare tonight.

I said myself that he would get a yellow for time wasting, the ref even told Gundo that just minutes before. I can see him being subbed off as we can't afford to go down to 10 men.

 

[Dax777]

needed him in the middle

Perhaps get Foden on for him

 

[mancyank41]

For a squad that some asserted lacks motivation, the League systematically looking to assure it has a new champion seems as good a catalyst as any. More movement off the ball and another body in midfield, let’s go out and beat these twats in the second half so bad it leaves no room for Taylor’s interference. CTID

 

[blueparsman]

Just get to back four and take off bernie or gundog. Bernie cos he been booked or gundog as he not in this game

 

[SidJames]

Seeing as the commentary,Taylor/VAR all agree a Keeper being run in to is a Penalty.

Are we going to see them given week in week out now.

Are we fuck........next game they will make a point of saying tonight was a one off.Most likely when they deliberately dont give one when Spurs Car crash in goal leaves a player flattened.

 

[Blu1]

The question isn't: 'Was it a penalty?'; the question is: 'Which teams do not get that given against them?', and we all know the answer to that question.

100% good point

 

[RayCTID]

I’m not sure we are even looking for haaland. We are just hoofing it & hoping

We are looking for him but we aren't used to playing in that style. Besides that Arsenal are pressing us

 

[Mancity1980]

Ederson coming out to clear the ball and missed. 100% a pen

Not having that, the ball had been released before the collision, it was a coming together. Clichy saying it is definitely a pen! What about our disallowed goal at the weekend?

 

[der bomber28]

There’s at least one “controversial” decision in literally every game we play. Now call me cynical, but it isn’t “incompetence” law of averages you might get one every few games. It’s not even subtle anymore, it’s blatant.

 

[jaiguruKun]

Laporte for Silva is needed right now. Silva's a walking red card.

 

[Allnightlong]

is this the time to release the VAR recording?

 

[The perfect fumble]

#bbcfootball

Beppe: Yet again, more inconsistency from referees. That type of collision occurs in every single game and I can't ever recall seeing a penalty being given for it. The fact no Arsenal player claimed for it and everyone was confused speaks volumes.

Rob Brown: What's the goalie meant to do then? Evaporate? Of course there's going to be contact. Ridiculously hilarious.

 

[vmsuhail]

40 percent possession
74 percent pass accuracy
1 shot on target from a defensive lapse
Yellow carded for time wasting
Our defence has been good though. Need big improvement and a change of lineup.

 

[argyle]

Been largely 2nd best.

3 at the back not working. Look really vulnerable.

capable of moments but doesnt dominate like he used to.

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

Ederson coming out to clear the ball and missed. 100% a pen

Ederson stood his ground. The collision came about AFTER the shot and as the attacker shot his momentum took him into Ederson.

100% NOT a penalty.

 

[HelloCity]

Clichy has nailed down his colours.

‘We’ for Arsenal and ‘them’ for City.
