Premier Lg EPL Matchday 23 - On Optus Sport

Arsenal kissed on the dick there. You never see those fouls given as pens because he got the shot away first so its always just play on. Not sure why the ref this time gives a pen.

But you gotta take that if you're Arsenal for sure.

 

[Cruyff14]

Definitely? He holds his ground and pulls out of a challenge and Nketiah and him collide. It's a contact sport.. I get it's your opinion but the way you posted (twice) made it seem like it was stonewall when it's anything but.

Impedes him with his body.

A defender does it, it would be a pen as Townsend said.

How can he be impeded if he gets his shot on target?

When are defenders trying to make a save?

Really tough half for us, Arsenal really imposing their game on us and we have no control at all.

Thought we were lucky to be up, and can't complain being level at half time, but thought the penalty was harsh. We'd have a dozen like that this season so far.

Think we have to change things, Bernardo at LB is nailed on to be sent off, so Laporte in for me. Bernardo either off or moved into the midfield.

 

[moomba]

Just like time wasting in the first half being bookable, you won't see that again this season

I moan about that every week. So it was the right decision to book him, but it hasn't happened in about a dozen games against us this season which have been as bad or worse.

He doesn't impede him though. You'd normally not see a foul paid if the player still gets a shot on target let alone a keeper standing his ground.

 

[RPCB]

Apparently Haaland and Odergaard were sharing their teams tactics and the TV audience weren’t allowed to lip read.

 

[Cruyff14]

It's the clashing of bodies.

Clearly meant using the body, come on mate.

Open your other eye

Could say the same thing!

They collide, he comes out and gets him. I guess we won't agree, but that's OK.

 

[charcoalchicken]

Reckon the penalty was fair enough tbh, good clearance off the line by city though

But you see coming together of bodies all the time after shots have been made and those are never pens. If he doesn't get the shot off and is blocked in his run that's entirely different to what happened.

 

[Cruyff14]

Definite pen for City but it's offside.

So what if they clashed bodies? Why didn't haaland get a pen against Villa then when there was a clash of bodies?

Fact is the shot has been taken, he almost scored and two players collided. There was no impact on the play, ederson hasn't two footed him so a pen is excessive

Why didn't we get calls that we should have got against other teams?

I guess it comes down to the subjectivity of the referee.

 

[glenferry23]

Yay they drew the lines this time. Phew.

 

[RPCB]

I can’t look at Grealish screaming without hearing that accent in my head.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

There it is!

The woe is us nonsense.
God you gooners are a soft fanbase sometimes.

 

[RPCB]

Lol, this is some really s**t viewing.

 

[Magma]

Super jacky

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Insta update pls cruffy.

 

[jod23]

Poor Tomiyasu haha

Gifts the first one with an awful backpass and then gets a good boot to Grealishs shot to make sure it gets past Ramsdale.

Hes been the difference today.

 

[SM]

How is that any different to Ederson's contact? Precisely what I mean.

Really weird that they dropped White for this game, Tomiyasu has been poor.

 

[jod23]

And so endeth Arsenals title challenge.
