Leicester are shambles at the back absolutely no way Trossard should have got past then.

Leicester are shambles at the back absolutely no way Trossard should have got past then.

Also I know I was big on this before, but I can't believe they haven't tried to replace Kasper Schmeichel. Ward not great on that 3rd, out slowly, bad setup, it looks like when Ramsdale was really struggling at Bournemouth in the sense he doesn't seem to be making errors but is just letting in far too many.

Brighton look a really good side, Potter must already be odds on to be the next England manager. Leicester on the other hand look to be in real trouble.

They did buy another keeper but decided to promote Ward to first choice.

Thay brought Alex Smithies in to be 3rd choice. Their other option spent the last couple of seasons on loan at Preston, I'd imagine he'll be in very soon

Right decision via VAR in the United game for me. Eriksen just gets across Odegaard and stops the latter from getting anything on the ball so a foul in my eyes.

 

[jd1981]

One of them annoyed if goes against you and think it the right call if it goes for you.
For if they’ve set a high physical bar this season and the on field decision is no foul it should stay with it.

I've got a sneaky feeling he'll go to Man city once pep leaves.

Typical Arsenal great at beating lesser teams then crap once they meet their match.
Well crap results performance today hasn’t been to bad.

Cue the media fawning over Yanited....

They've played well today, just defended badly for the goals. Way too high a defensive line.

 

[Wolftone]

So, after that game we've now got the best defensive record in the league and the joint worst goalscoring record. Normal service resumed.

 

[PuntsWolf]

Baffled people thought that was a foul on Eriksen. Certainly not enough to overturn the refs decision. Didn’t even look much contact in slow motion where things look worse.

Yes there’s contact but the threshold is higher this year for starters and there’s more contact than that regularly all over the pitch that don’t get called.

Seems to be the case that there’s a higher threshold until there’s a goal scored.

If Eriksen hadn't managed the last step to get across Odegaard then I'd probably agree, shoulder to shoulder that challenge is fair game and Odegaard probably even gets his foot to the ball in doing so. In getting that step across though Eriksen shields the ball and ends up getting clattered into the back of instead, that's what you want your midfielder doing on the ball under pressure, make them foul you.

 

[Tony Towner]

I'd be annoyed if that was let go after the Neto last week

 

[MARKakaJIM]

Neto's was far more blatant.

 

[Tony Towner]

Neto's was far more blatant.

Only as much as it was hands versus knee, the heaviness of the contact was the same

A split second quicker and Odegaard gets the ball though, Neto was only ever going to be pushing Fraser in the back.

 

[ROVERT47]

What’s the rule with the Managers Technical Area, I noticed it last season and watching Man U against Arsenal today it’s still the same.
Fucking Arteta hardly ever spends any time within the boundaries in fact most of the time he’s virtually on the pitch.
The fourth official is next to him and does nothing.

 

[The Bear]

None of them do. Particularly after goals or incidents. Like Marsch getting in the linos face or Tuchel running down the touchline.
