Whats that supposed to mean? hes arguably been one our best players this season. You're living too much in the past mate. Nothing wrong with throwing back to the keeper.

He’s brain dead. If you think he’s been better this season than Bernardo, Khusanov or OReilley then ok … We disagree!

That’s what it’s supposed to mean (if not clear).

I thought it wasn’t a great decision that given how Donna had been struggling to pass the ball out from the back. Donna’s fault but I’m not sure the throw in decision was the best.

On the topic of throw in’s, every one of their long throws near the end was a foul throw as his foot was way over the line. Not called once and the Lino was 5 yards away!

I would be deeply concerned if Donna starts for the remainder of the matches.

He invokes so much anxiety with every cross and when our team passes it back to him

We don't need to use him as a ball player, as much as we did with Ederson. He is obviously not confident or skilled with the ball at his feet.
Before they scored we needlessly kicked 2 balls out in the first 10 minutes for corners when there wasn't an arsenal player within 20 yards of our defenders.
Khusanov was one of those.
Same with the throw in that lead up to the goal. Why throw it back?
There is no advantage whatsoever in bringing Donnarumma into play unnecessarily.
 
Came out the ground thinking Gabriel was an obnoxious twat who should have been sent off and that Anthony Taylor was a spineless wanker. Just watched MOTD and guess what; I still think Gabriel is an obnoxious twat who should have been sent off and that Anthony Taylor was a spineless wanker.
 
The fact that people have just started to notice what a **** Gabriel is blows my mind.

He’s been rolling about, feigning head injuries for about three seasons, acting the hard man relentlessly. There’s a reason Haaland bounced a ball off his head.

The guys an absolute wanker from the same mould as Rudiger.

Enjoyed him getting his arse handed to him today. Cherki certainly did as well.

the modern game requires keepers to play with their feet. Our style of play also requires keeprs to play with their feet.

Not just that but he is subpar on crosses

A great game, both sides hit the woodwork twice. Two moments of class from Cherki & Haaland sealed the deal. Donna made up for his howler, Anthony Taylor WTF? Gabriel hand ball when we hit post, no different to Bernie v Madrid. He should have given a penalty and a red card. Then the attempted head butt, how does he not see that as a red? 3 game ban for Gabriel would have been the end for Arsenal, Taylor & VAR bottled it. It’s not about whether he connected or not, Haaland’s reaction saved him. Bernie, Haaland, O’Reilly, Cherki were exceptional today. It’s in our hands now lads, let’s grasp it. We could end up with another domestic treble.

Can you remind me what the other woodwork one was for us? I can’t remember it ! Obviously the Cherki one I do remember. Was it early second half ?

Pep played with Rodri and Bernie much deeper second half-esp in the build up- often with the centre halves splitting and O’Reilly pushing up-that enabled us to start playing.

A fantastic team performance once more.

It’s a great option when needed. Took the pressure off the arse press.

3 or 4 times before that Gabriel should have been booked, Ripped Haaland's body vest arm off and pulled on Haaland's shoulder on the far side ? Haaland said if he goes down, it's a red card ? Well next time go down like you have been shot, roll about, scream, call for the stretcher, because 1000% Gabriel would have done

To be fair, I do prefer Haaland’s approach.

Gabriel should have been off, but the officials allowed it.
