Premier Lg EPL Matchday 11 - On Optus Sport

[moomba]

I like Grealish so this isn't a shot. He had 7 assists last season. Doku has 4 in one game

I don't think Grealish needs goals and assists to have a positive impact on a game (see the derby last week). Not sure that's the case with doku.

Well impressed with him so far though, and he was outstanding today.

Raya not great on that goal, seems a costly decision by Arteta to replace Ramsdale.

Tried three different ways to try to rule out that goal for Newcastle haha

Arteta is stubborn. There's a reason other teams didn't go after Raya that hard, he's not an elite goalie. Is Ramsdale? No, but he's a better shop stopper.

lol

Havertz is so bad

 

[jod23]

Vale Arsenal's title challenge.

 

[moomba]

Think there might be a fine going Artetas way shortly.

What did he do?

 

[glenferry23]

A fair bit to unpack from that one.

As it stands.... Chelsea down to 14th! hawkman Art Vandelay_ keep them there please.

Have you seen our next run of games?

We'll be around bottom 3 in a month.

 

[moomba]

What did he do?

Wasnt too happy with refs/VAR

 

[chef]

Didnt expect Mount and Havertz to be struggling this bad

Yes the angles can be very deceptive, it wasn’t conclusive to say whether the ball was entirely out of play. Play on. The more egregious decisions I felt was the impeding/foul on Gabriel and the lack of censure on Bruno in the first half.

 

[moomba]

Didn't think it was a foul on Gabriel, and should have been a yellow for Guimares (VAR can't rule on that).

Apparently Havertz could have been sent off in the first half too.

The ball being out or not, you'd hope technology helped in the decision making. One of the few innovations PGMOL have got right.

Arsenal were robbed then

Another day, another poor ref performance in an Arsenal match costing us goals or points.
Not sure how Bruno isn't a straight red for the hit on Jorginho or how the goal isn't chalked off for a foul on Gabriel/clear offside but I guess we can look forward to another apology from PGMOL.

Didn't think it was a foul on Gabriel

Seriously?

 

[Thistle]

Pretty obvious foul. Can't push a player in the back to gain an advantage

 

[Planet14]

Watching Dermott Gallagher tie himself in knots trying to justify the decision, saying some refs think that’s a foul and others don’t. But if there is a debatable decision, why doesn’t var at least refer it to the on field referee? Why is the var official take responsibility for the decision?

 

[Planet14]

Pretty obvious foul. Can't push a player in the back to gain an advantage

If that was a defender on an attacker it is a penalty 100 times out of 100.

 

[moomba]

Seriously?

Yeah, he made the most of it.

The big doubt for me was whether the ball was out or not.

 

[Bradesmaen]

Lets take away VAR then Mikel and the result will be...

Newcastle 1 - 0 Arsenal

Got to say he's definitely one of the whingiest managers when things don't go his way. Hope he gets a suspension.
