He didn't even book them for shoving our players. The only card we deserved was for JJ for me. Xhaka walked away from him when getting the yellow card and he did nothing. They are generally gutless. This guy is no different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hook Coutinho, bring on Bailey. If we can't get Coutinho on the ball he's a passenger, I don't think he's capable of playing on wing and backing up an FB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ball was in open play, Mings slid to get the ball, then Saka arrived after the ball had gone and collided with Mings. Not one person here could even understand how it was considered a foul let alone a booking. One of the worst refereeing decisions I've ever seen You’ll think it was a worse decision on camera. Then wait til you hear the commentators and Peter Walton discussing whether it was a red or not. absolute **** insanity Edited March 19, 2022 by a m ole 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midfielders aren't preventing Watkins from being isolated up front and having to try to win the ball against 2-3 defenders every time. This isn't he same formation/style of play we played with the 3 wins in a row, it's the same as the 3 before that when we were awful. Exactly. Stevie s preferred plan. Don't bode well for next season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love Ash but he is poor at left back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ferguson1 Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 Perhaps Bailey on and put the ball over the top a bit more. Playing out from the back just isn’t working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USA_Villa Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 Tactically the worst half ever. We can't beat their high press and we allow them to walk up to the half way line. Sort out it out Stevie. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aston_Villan4 Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 6 minutes ago, Indigo said: Not really seeing all the issues with the ref tbh. They've been much better, we haven't come close to creating anything and I don't think the ref giving or not giving free kicks 50 yards out is impacting that too much. It’s his decision with Mings. He’s put himself in a shit position, see Cash tackle afterwards. Not only did he win the ball and shouldn’t have been called for a foul, he should’ve technically seen yellow based on the standards the ref created. Partay should’ve seen a yellow because of it as well. That’s the consistency issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jareth Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 Coutinho would absolutely advance this Arsenal team. Hopefully not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_eristic Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 Watkins running a bit but has a negative first touch and is way too isolated because Buendia and Coutinho can't get the ball because McGinn and Ramsey are bad at passing and bad at offering outlets to the defenders and Douglas Luiz. They tend to just stand in their zones and try to turn and run rather than looking for openings to receive, pass and then move. Arsenal are leaving the 10s open in space because all they have to do is press the guys behind them and they'll be bypassed and Ollie can't knock it down to them. Also the ref is diabolical, but that's to be expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
