Arsenal (H) Post Match Thread

I thought Sanchez did really well in a team full of shites tbf. Never really wanted him but understand what he would bring to City.

And don't the rules say the benefit of doubt goes to the attacking player? In which case the lino (sorry; assistant ref) got it bang on.

I think they've removed the element of giving the benefit of the doubt. It's either offside or not now.

Disagree m8. Thought he was very wasteful at times and wasn't overly impressed with his piss poor attitude, sulking around and throwing his arms about.

^^^ This.. I don't want him anywhere near this squad or our club..

if we were playing them when we played Stoke we would have won 5/6-1 easily, even just a couple of times at the end where KDB had the chance to put someone in 1-on-1 but was so tired he miscued marginally, showed that if we hadn't had such a hard-fought 3 weeks the scoreline would have been more flattering.

Never expected us to do the double over Napoli and win every league game so that's a mighty. Now hopefully a mental rest for our lads, tough slog over winter to come where the only break they'll get is through rotation, hopefully Pep manages it well and we don't burn out as we look capable of doing so if we try to keep the Stoke/Watford level up

The score wasn't flattering, we could have had at least two more, perhaps as many as four.
No, the score was unflattering, it was the least we deserved.

Definite Penalty, Silva offside , could have had four or five, Sanchez would be a welcome addition, Wenger is a prick.

He did OK under the circumstances. I think he would be excellent for us and I still want him because we have one truly experienced striker and three kids who inevitably will lack consistency. I know we have other options if push comes to shove but essentially we have four players for three positions and that is risky when you are trying to compete for four trophies.

Dermot Gallagher on sky sports said that that was a pen, and argued that he could have even sent the Arsenal player off for denying a goal scoring opportunity. Having given the pen he decided that a booking was sufficient for that clash, with Raheem. he also said that David was offside, but was probably looking for the ball to be played and couldn't be sure where David was when the ball was played and so gave him the benefit of the doubt with that goal.

I believe that you are correct.

Maybe I misunderstood what you said.
It reads like a score of 5 or 6-1 would have flattered us.
