Dude, that was **** nasty. Red would have been fair

Rashy, holy smokes. And he's still 12 goals behind Haaland lolol. Excellent game by Bruno, Shaw is tops right now.

You're going to incur HIF's wrath with that. I thought they were good first half and got unlucky with some decisions.
That must make Spurs super junk because we got battered by them last weekend.

You're joking on both accounts aren't you?
As for the match. Brendan ball until Arsenal scored with attackers on the pitch not suited to that style of play. Then Leicester attacked the weak arsenal defence but it was too late.
Leicester were poor but arsenal were not much better. It's hard to believe that is the team 5 points clear in the league.

i'm being dead serious i'm fine with ruling out and re reffing that soft contact on Ward , it is what it is....but Souttar is a nailed on certain penalty. Not even a question he just bundles over and takes Saka out.
I thought we were awful in the final third and a lot of situations wasted but the first two thirds of the field we dominated .Leicester couldn't touch the ball until late in the game. That's why we're top of the league tbh we've just stifled and completely taken teams out of games for most of the season. What is hurting us now is teams are packing their box in and dont even want to press us and move forward and we cant seem to find holes and create clear clear shots

MaliBrah wrote:"Saka cut up Souttar and brought him down" is a level of analysis beyond reality genuinely. That is not remotely close to what happened. My point is how dare VAR bring out a magnifying glass to spot a light hold a whole phase before our goal to rule it out and then ignore Souttar's peak Maguireness just bundling over and then hugging onto saka for dear life to track his run. It's insane how they pick and choose when to intervene. I'm fine ruling that goal out , buy they've then set the level of scrutiny they'll use VAR for in that match. So lets watch Souttar
He trips over his own feet clearly trying to plant his right leg , stumbles over and just bulldozes Saka down , they had Mr Dermot Gallagher that backs every decision a ref makes saying how on earth wasn't this a pen.How can anyone watch this and say "it's a foul by saka" with a straight face. But hey Var wants to rule out goals from a defender tickling a keeper's arm on a set piece from a previous phase a play.
Also why stop at the Manchester clubs? Spurs , Newcastle , Brentford , and Brighton have been better than Arsenal too darn it. We're just lucky to be here!
No one has more points
1 team has conceded less goals(Newcastle)
1 team has scored more goals (City)
1 team has a better GD(City)
Arsenal have been by far and away the best team when you look at the Away table , not 1 team in the league is close
City and Arsenal have far better underlying numbers then the rest of the pack.
Our top scorer from last year has just rejoined the squad and our best player pre world cup is about to return as well. It'll be a much needed boost for the run in and will go a long way to solving the issues we have solving these compact and packed defences. Rodgers tried to go toe to toe with United at Old trafford last week leaving loads of space behind and granted he didn't have Maddison this week he played extremely cautious and like all teams we've faced recently packed the box and the edge of the area at home.
