Arsenal v Man City

[TheYorkshireTerrier]

Wonder if Arteta will put his money where his mouth is and sub the goalkeeper after a dodgy start to this massive game.

Never was going to it was all about justifying dropping an England keeper for no reason.

 

[Jedi boro]

Odd comment from pep though we have nothing in common when referring to arteta

 

[Chutney]

City strangling Arsenal so far. It either goes wrong at some point and Arsenal get a breakaway or City just wear them down and they gift a goal.

 

[Chutney]

Could be a red here

 

[TeaCider]

That's a red for me.
I'm surprised VAR have left that.

 

[TheYorkshireTerrier]

Nasty tackle that.

 

[Nero]

That's a red for me.

More of a red than Curtis Jones last week.

 

[Chappy112]

Strange that they haven't sent the ref to look at that.

Both were reds, it won't help ease the conspiracy nonsense when you see double standards like that.

 

[Chutney]

Well, that should definitely have been a red.

 

[TeaCider]

That is a stonewall second yellow card...

Dodgy.

 

[Nero]

Dodgy.

Terrible decision making from the referee. That was a clear foul and booking.

 

[Chutney]

That is a stonewall second yellow card...

Dodgy.

Don't worry, I'm sure we'll get one at some point the way this is being played.

For clarity, I'm loving it.

 

[Norfolkred1]

Walking a fine line, he'll be off for the next one.

 

[TeaCider]

I honestly don't understand why the referee has seen that as a foul but not a yellow.
He clearly didn't get the ball, so you can't even use that as an excuse.

Makes absolutely no sense.

 

[Chutney]

Pep will have to sub Kovacic. He can't make another challenge now so pointless him being on the pitch.

 

[Norfolkred1]

Just no consistency.

 

[BlindBoyGrunt]

That's two sending off offences to me. What happens if somebody studs him in the second half?

 

[dooderooni]

And VAR can't intervene on a second yellow decision even though it should fall under the "clear and obvious error" remit.
Waste of time having VAR if it doesn't add consistency to officiating.
