Irrespective of the dubious refereeing standards, if we continue to play a front four that has less ball control in the final third, then Rodri is going to be more exposed and likely to concede professional fouls. It’s an almost inevitable consequence of our approach in the last months, so it might be time to go back to strangling teams.I wonder if the refs will start to dish out the yellows for Rodri for the most minor of infringements, after all these cannot be rescinded or VAR'd. So we might only have another five games with him until the ban hammer slams down! Nothing surprises me anymore.
Absolute nonsense. The Arsenal team lacks rotation and will run out of steam by February. Liverpool will pick up more injuries, having just lost Matip for the season. We will not beat Luton on current form, but I still believe we can win the title.Lets be absolutely clear about this.... if we don't win this week then we can almost certainly kiss goodbye to a fourth consecutive title.
There is probably 2 sides to your questionI wonder if the refs will start to dish out the yellows for Rodri for the most minor of infringements, after all these cannot be rescinded or VAR'd.

Understand where you're coming from but it's not about what Arsenal and Liverpool can and will do, it's about what we WILL do and our own ability to gather enough points. As I said, if and its a massive IF we do not beat Luton I don't think we will have it within ourselves to do enough to win the league. Only my opinion.Absolute nonsense. The Arsenal team lacks rotation and will run out of steam by February. Liverpool will pick up more injuries, having just lost Matip for the season.

We will be the first team to do that so to them this season.We'll pump them by about 5. Haaland is fuming and just waiting to catch fire :)
Lol. We have so many wet fanny fans.Lets be absolutely clear about this.... if we don't win this week then we can almost certainly kiss goodbye to a fourth consecutive title.
Yeah, we're also you know, one of the best teams in the history of the game. Even if we're a bit out of form.We will be the first team to do that so to them this season.
Might be my blue tinted specs but I thought Sunday's was quite harsh. It happened quite near me and he came in from the side a bit but was nothing much.There is probably 2 sides to your question
1) Were refs correct to give Rodri those 5 yellow cards. I think they probably were.
The same case with Grealish.
2) Is he getting booked for "lesser infringements" than other players.
I hope you're prediction is right but there's a thin line between confidence and arrogance.Yeah, we're also you know, one of the best teams in the history of the game. Even if we're a bit out of form
HmmmmmI fully expect a return to normal service against Luton on Sunday. Fast forward a few weeks and this blip will be assigned to the history books
Or realists...all about opinions thats why we love the gameLol. We have so many wet fanny fans.
Or maybe he could engage his brain again ever now and again? The yellow vs Spurs was a yellow all day long. The red was a red all day long. Has he been given any yellow you think is egregiously wrong?I wonder if the refs will start to dish out the yellows for Rodri for the most minor of infringements, after all these cannot be rescinded or VAR'd. So we might only have another five games with him until the ban hammer slams down! Nothing surprises me anymore.
I don’t mind it when he does it 25 yards from the opposition goal, not a fan when he does in our defensive 3rd which he didn’t 2 or 3 times against Villa.I find Alvarez to be the worst at this, he does it all the time.
