It's just hard to quantify how much our recent form is down to being able to trust the keeper not to launch a backpass into the Milburn stand, it could just be a coincidence, just thing there's no need to test it out until Dubravka makes a clanger.

We're past needing to cater to Pope as our number 1 imo, we need a new keeper.

But Dubravka isn't playing shit at the minute and Pope makes it easier for teams to press us. The Martinelli chance wouldn't have happened with Pope on the potch though, so it's swings and roundabouts in a way, but it feels unnecessary to change things until Dubravka fucks up.

He used to go on spells of a couplr games where he would literally never see the ball, which we've managed to almost completely eliminate. Seems every game he does something atleast semi-outrageoud.

The other VAR audios I've seen have been much better than that though, they gave me a bit of confidence that the VAR team actually run through the scenario at a fast pace and hash out the details between them, quickly getting the relevant clips on screen. Even if I don't like it. Like @geordiesteve710 says, that sounds more like a few blokes talking over their pints.

Aye he goes down easy, just think there's a massive difference between what he does and what Gabriel did The 'Bruno G con' requires actual skill.

Aye, the decision was right but I can understand Villa fans being pissed off if they see that They didn't even look at the left foot stamp which was the worst part.

Is he shite Bruno draws the foul and goes down easy but he doesn't really just dive. He's strong enough on the ball to let the opponent get tight. Longstaff does it as he hasn't got the skill to hold opponents off and it just looks ridiculous.

Tbf if yous had started Mainoo yous probably would have been good Feels a bit like Howe playing Clarke early on and his red card against Norwich being the catalyst which transformed us. When I saw that midfield I put £20 on Newcastle -3.

As you'll know Froggy our record at OT is absolutely miserable. I knew we'd bot yous like, was never in doubt.

@Rich called it a HT but he was really sloppy. He made a few awful passes forward in the 2nd half too. I actually think he's underrated on the ball, his strengh allows him to turn into space and apart from the odd mad pass he's usually good enough to find a player, but don't think he did that too well today, like you say may be down to the quality of Arsenal's midfield.

Ridiculous like That was probably the worst example but it was obvious what they were doing.

Really? Bringing Rodri on in the 80 minute instead of Longstaff is a massive improvement.

I don't understand how he's so good in tight spaces.

Just fucking every cunt int he?

Hopefully he cries about the Isak push causing the FA to clamp down in pushing, nerfing his entire gameplan.

"If anyone can, he can" Has he ever scored from open play?

Cannot remember who it was, but about 10-20 minutes ago Gordon put his hand on an Arsenal players back, who then proper superman flew to the ground and was given the freekick. Pretty much sums up the game. Atleast Bruno holds the defender off for a second and lets it get into a bit of a tustle before flying over, this is like playing against a team of Longstaffs, only the ref buys it.

That shove, GERRIN hahaha

You sure, Alex?

This your alt account?

Pope takes that 25 yards out like

Atleast the linesman isn't having their shite

Everytime they've fallen over they've gotten the decision. Literally every time

Going to be hilarious watching these cryarse about set-piece shithousing
