Arsenal (A) - Post-Match Thread

Not having this City were lucky chat. Ref and VAR got most of it right, correct decisions were made and the system worked. Only City can get called lucky when things work the way they are meant to. Expect a rule clarification like when Rodri made Mings look a mug.

Whilst we were way below our best we weren't comprehensively outplayed. Replace City with any other team in the league and everyone is talking about what a great away performance it was. We had same amount of shots on target and more shots overall - more possession and more than double their passes. The Martinelli miss is poor play not bad luck and if you want to pursue that line then Laporte was also unlucky not to score with only a brilliant Ake clearance denying him ;)

We don't get anything like enough credit for the desire and hunger we demonstrate. With all the chat about how unfair it is that Liverpool can lose only twice and be out the title race I'm reminded that we also have lost twice. It is the amount of wins we are getting over the last two seasons that are important. Brentford and Arsenal would have been two easys games to drop points in with justifiable reasons BUT we have got maximum points. How Pep has this team working is unbelievable
 
Hope every single one of them get a couple of days off, rest up, spend time with their families and remain healthy with this fucking omicron everywhere.

Three out of the last four have been tough away fixtures.

Tremendous effort by all of them over the festive season. They deserve a lot of credit.

Agree. Though I think we were a bit slow on the ball, I think that was a result of their pinching forward. Still, we held an advantage in possession. Saka had a good goal. Deserved Red on Gabriel. Was a an absolute penalty on Bernardo. He pulled his shirt. Berna may have cooked it a bit but it was still a penalty.

Rodri's goal was good. His celebration was epic. I thought I was watching a US v Mexico match. I was expecting some batteries and urine bags be thrown at our boys. But yes, we deserved the win. But I think we had some tired legs out there. You could tell with the shots we were taking from 3-5 yards outside the box. Way over. Still. 11 points clear. I'm hoping for 0-0 draw tomorrow between Chelsea/Liverpool.

Zero sympathy for us in the press after we dominated at Liverpool and only got a draw. It was all about their good 10 minute.They don’t like us and playing down our success and amplifying our failures is just what they do.
 
Followed the match on here as I don't have BT. Was able to watch a full match replay and was expecting it to be a difficult watch. On the contrary, I thought we dominated from start to finish and all the decisions were correct apart from the stone wall penalty on Jesus early on that was ignored by VAR. I thought the commentary was reasonably impartial (albeit through gritted teeth) until the winning goal went in. If you watch again from 93 mins onwards the hate directed to City is off the scale. Humphreys describing VAR as corrupt is surely a sacking offense.
