Accidental head clash between a defender and forward rightfully challenging for a ball a enough to be deemed a penalty now?.
So how many years before this kind of call gets made, if ever, again?

Yes, it hits Saliba after the ball is headed into him from Joao Pedro.

Fortunate that United helped us keep the difference the same but we really need to start capitalising on these Liverpool slip-ups.
Doesnt matter if he touched it or not.
Just another ****ing garbage decision that's never ever been called except this game for some unexplained reason.
Yep it gets worse every time I see it. Cannot recall an accidental head clash ever being deemed a penalty before. I remember a few weeks ago when Sommer clattered Merino with his fist away at Inter, he was now where near the ball and looked a blatant punch to me. But it’s dismissed as “nah incidental contact to the head is just part of the territory when going for a ball in the box”.
It was genuinely funny seeing Michael “had no choice” Oliver stand and watch as Holjund kicked the ball away yesterday delaying the restart at Anfield. The good ol “letter of the law” didn’t seem to apply there hey
The standards of officiating continue to plummet. But thankfully the propaganda Ref Watch show will convey the message that all is okay….
Meanwhile, Nwaneri confirmed out for a few weeks with a muscle injury. Supposedly a thigh strain. So that’s Saka, Havertz, Sterling, Nwaneri absent from the forward group.

Pick 1...
Didn't have equal with Forest on my 2024/25 Arsenal bingo card after 20 games.

Nwaneri out for a few weeks apparently.
Havertz starting. Sterling on the bench. Timber and MLS the fullbacks.
Geez unusually loose from Raya, luckily they didn’t take advantage.
Timber header from point blank, should be 1-0.

Must at least win 2 nil
Away leg will be tough
Trossard fortune there, clearly pulled Isak back. Right in front of the ref. Isak causing lots of problems so far.
Yes not looking forward to that one, they’re usually up for it at home. Plus can clearly see here the impact of the illness and injuries etc, playing at about 70-80% capacity which at this level is very significant. Especially with another 6-7 fixtures before that.
Ripped them open out of nowhere but Martinelli hits the post, did everything else right but the finish.
That was a matter of time. Isak was inevitable.

My prediction has gone out the window
Maybe we will fare better for the FA Cup
The rare sighting of Joelington receiving a yellow card.
What was your prediction?
1.98xG for that half alone, zero goals. 14 shots. Then concede essentially from their first attempt on target at the other end.
Isak the difference, I often mention him as the missing ingredient in this Arsenal team and it’s on display again here why.

2 nil to the arse
I’d happily take 2-1 from here however I do feel we’d need a bigger margin going to the away match.
Anyway, lots to play for this half.
Well scrap that. 2-0.
Isak in a different league tonight.

You’ve gotta be ****ing kidding me. Off his shoulder from point blank
It’s just not happening for Arsenal tonight. The xG for zero goals differential is going to be wild here.
