Ouchers. That was not a great penalty.
In fairness, he only blocks it because he dives so late
No, that was quite bad.
Not sure that’s an unnatural position, I’m ngl.
Ball don’t lie, I suppose :p
Not really, bit it looks purposeful
Tbh, why was Trossard our pen taker anyway?
Probably because Saka and Odegaard weren’t in, and he did win the penalty.
Trosaard is having a run of bad form
Sadly I think that was our attempt to get him going again. He needs a Martinelli moment.
Nwaneri?
I’d like to see him from the start
If only
Feels nice when VAR does it’s job properly. I didn’t even pick up on that at all.
Clear handball, clear and obvious error missed by the ref
Yeah, it was definitely missed. I’m not sure it was unnatural though tbh. Man was kinda just running there.
Eh, he brings his forearm down very decisively. I’m not sure why you’d do that if you were just intercepting a ball.
Guess it doesn’t matter now…
I wouldn’t have given it but I’ll take it
Jesus might be the unluckiest man to have ever lived
Lol, nice goal
It’s not a good sign for the latter that MLS comes on ahead of Kiwior, is it, lol.
Maybe Kiwior is more defensive minded and we’re looking for the left to push up with Partey, Gabriel and Saliba as a back 3?
Or, more likely, Arteta is furious with Kiwior for his mistake on Sunday and is punishing him for it by bringing on a youth player in his stead.
Raya you brilliant man
Please no lackadaisical passes this half. Especially from Trossard, it’s starting to become a bit of a habit.
I agree, It is worrying and I don’t like it
I wonder if it’s because he’s trying to take over the Odegaard role? Sigh. Imagine if we have him back for Liverpool.
Quite possible. Maybe Havertz and Trossard with the aid of Calafiori and Timber when he was on the right?
Yeah, Havertz and Trossard seem to have taken up the mantle of leading the press, Havertz has been dropping deep more, and Trossard has been trying to playmake morerecently, I’ve noticed.
We really needed that goal from that pen. Trosaard a bit off since coming into the starting lineup.
btw I should mention: the ratings form will be probably late, I have class after the game + a midterm take home for the next 48h after that lol. I’ll find time today but not sure when.
No problems
HAND + BALL = ?
Kai doing the business as usual. What the fuck was that two footed sliding tackle?!
Honestly if that had connected it might have been a red.
Should’ve been a red anyway.
Dangerous play is seemingly not being punished this season, that’s the third one our opponents have gotten away with this season.
Nah tiny pulls on the halfway line and knocking the ball a few yards away are clearly worse for the game
Perhaps so. I think VAR is seriously hamstrung in multiple ways, but especially in that they seemingly cannot go back to punish things that almost happened. This is the CL, after all, and I would expect them to be better than the English refs, at least.
especially in that they seemingly cannot go back to punish things that almost happened
They definitely can do, you’ve never needed to make contact to have a dangerous foul.
Of course not. I’m saying VAR almost never goes back to tell the ref he missed an almost challenge, I assume because of the “clear and obvious” thing.
