Relatively sure it hit some part of his arm like. Unless you actually are the VAR and have angles they didn’t show.

Also very bold to go with Gordon and Murphy as your starting forwards against the second best team in the country.

FWIW I can’t ever remember VAR being used to rule out a pen like that. Guy leans into the ball with his arm out, not a pen because it happens to skim his thigh first? Mega odd.

Please stop

Football is a game of tiny things and a lot of luck deciding games, then everyone post-rationalising it to fit a narrative. Got to love it I suppose

I really hope this is satire

This wasn’t a cruncher though, it was an incredibly hard game against the second best team. Which we hopefully don’t need to win. If we needed to win every game to finish 4th, it was never happening.

It’s frustrating rather than shite. With elements of not helping ourselves by doing too much shithousing and not enough footballing.

Having noticed every mistake Longstaff has made for 5 years, im behind this kind of thinking. Especially with someone who is absolutely class.

I think it’s more trying to impose himself (too much) than trying to show off. But obvs we aren’t inside his head.

It wasn’t that bad, it was just frustrating because their goals arrived at great times for them.

Don’t be silly.

We definitely need to dial down the shithousery. It gets silly at times and IMO doesn’t help us in these games. I would actually consider signing an older CM as well as whatever young ones we have on the radar.

Just need to bounce back as we usually do, it was never a likely win.

How do you know surgery is needed?

It’s challenging because you can’t tell him to just always pass it quickly. That takes away his ability to get his head up and play damaging passes. Just needs to adapt and learn.

1 point was the max expectation TBH. Unless we’d got the run of the luck and got a couple early.

Neville is a disgrace like, it’s almost like his job is to explain away everything Arsenal do and talk up everything we do wrong.

He’s trying too hard.

These are the annoying games that show us just how far we have to go.

We know we lack quality, we make up for it with incredible work. Sometimes it just won’t be enough, especially if the breaks don’t go your way.

Awful defending there.

Oh yeah, they did have tickets withheld from them, but they still had much more chance the people in later pots.

I assumed there were fewer and fewer tickets for each pot? What's the point in pots at all if everyone was in the same ballot?

It's based on 'guaranteeing' Europe, not what you need to actually make it. I think this thinking is what is making people nervous, thinking you have to make the absolute maximum amount of points to do it.
