That's three red cards for things other teams don't get the same punishment for.
Also, Howard Webb in attendance with an earpiece and mic...

Every Arsenal fan I know concedes Saliba's red was the right call. Frustration is understandable, Arteta's boys have been on the wrong end of the stick many times, but this one isn't it.

Plus it doesn't seem like Arsenal was dominating possession and goal-chances like they usually do before Saliba was sent off.

Though Bournemouth seemed to play more aggressively after Arsenal was down to 10, as they pressed their advantage and made sure Arsenal couldn't push into their half of the pitch.

I didn't say it wasn't a red.
I said Tosin also should've been sent off.

That's the main frustration.

how is this his fault? they had enough chances to make 5-0 in first half, he can't make Dalot to hit empty net or Garnacho score easy chances he had? and then Oliver sticks his ugly corrupt head and gifts dodgiest penalty out of nowhere.

You cannot change the players that quick but something isnt right with their headspace. I dont know what goes on in lockerroom or trainings but they need a fresh peptalk.

I think Ruud can give them some motivation.

Mentality, tactics and formations is what a coach provides. Ten hag hasnt shown any progress in 3 years. Watching Man city play vs ManU is a complete opposite and huge difference on how well coached players are. Ten Hag has pushed it too much for me to defend him.

Havertz wakes up here we could get a few more goals. He's been way off it man. Too sloppy. Hope we dont make any mistakes

Last season, wasn't Arsenal one of the luckiest teams regarding injuries?

According to Transfermarkt, both Odegaard and Saka played in 35 PL matches. Rice and Saliba all 38.

Looking forward to The Athletic piece on Arteta taking the Arsenal squad to a waterfall to teach them the importance of constantly falling.

You could already see him playing advantage. Kelleher didn't collect the ball and so he blew the whistle.

Removing the penalty would have resulted in another draw. How Manchester United fans can call this progress is beyond me.

At this point, Ten Hag appears:

Arsenal and Liverpool need to be building a lead on City while KDB is out, not to mention Rodrigo being out.

When KDB comes back and after the January transfer window, City could be back to peak form again.

Truthfully, the only hope has been the 115 charges. I cannot recall the last time a ref or VAR has made a decision against City.

How was Van Dijk not sent off?

AK47MVP · Post #200 » by **AK47MVP** » Mon Oct 28, 2024 6:54 pm

So Man U eventually fired Ten Hag lol. Lets see if these players will stop missing easy chances now lol.
