Arsenal 2 - 0 Newcastle United (27/11/2021)

[alexf]

This ref is showing the classic home bias. Every little decision seems to be going their way so far. 

[JB]

At least we're not losing I suppose.

Missed the pen we maybe should have had on Schar. Was it a pen?

Yes. So was the other one where the defender stopped the cross with his hand. We should have had two.

He got thrown over in the box. Stone wall penalty but can be glossed over as they weren't near the ball 

[AyeDubbleYoo]

The handball was odd, did they even check it?

I put alot of our organization down to Dubs, he's class at sorting out the shape of the defense.

Did Enrique and Debuchy play in the same team?

 

 

 

 

No.  20 months apart.

[NEEJ]

I don't think we've been that bad, like. We're still very much in the game, and still have some half-decent options from the bench. I'm looking forward to seeing how Almirón plays after a week and a half of actual training.

No

 

Don't think there was anything in that handball at all like.

You cannot give the handball like.

When was the last time we had competent full backs on both sides?  Genuinely can't think of a good pairing

Beye, Enrique?

We haven’t been bad, especially not at the start. They were obviously being told to really push it towards the end of the half.

No. Because if they did they'd have had to give a pen. 

[toontownman]

Shearer, Wright and Dermot Gallagher no clue why the second isn't a penalty. Stone wall.

Drury and beglin apparently.

Wilson is a walking yellow card in this game

[SUPERTOON]

Can’t afford Wilson to get a booking and miss the Norwich game.

[Pata]

Either pen would have been extremely soft and correct non-decisions IMO. Schär possible if it happened near the ball.

Fuck knows then! Have we ever had competent fullbacks on both sides since the Keegan years?

The ASM/Ritchie defensive partnership is an absolute shambles. ASM isn't really in the game at all on the left, I'd consider switching him to the right to cause Tavares problems and give Tavares something to think about, considering Tavares is having so much freedom.

And so many blatant fouls from Arsenal being ignored. How many times has Wilson or ASM had their shirts yanked or arms blocking/holding them.

[xLiaaamx]

Beye and Enrique played together but Enrique was rubbish at that point

I am really worried about this, need him for Norwich.

Given the ref, a walking red
