I bet the bloke on VAR wanked himself silly after realising Mitomas studs were offside,oh mum look at me I've just sucked the very life out of a football match that could have been one of the greatest comebacks on live TV.
For the love of the game of football just bin this VAR shit it's killing the game whoever you support.

Trossard is just a poor man’s Trossard at the moment
Sadly not. Sounded an entertaining game.

Absolutely cracking game. What a quality side Arsenal are, and we pushed them to the limit. Once I saw Veltman wasn't playing I new we would struggle. He would be first on my team sheet.

Same every year. Clocks go back and he turns to shit. I’d rip your hand off for 35m for him. I’m sure he’ll get 3 goals in April and people will be delighted.

Really enjoyed the last 30 minutes. We were all over them albeit with the game already won. Some schoolboy defensive errors but against an Arsenal side who made our lives miserable in the first hour.

That was a good Arsenal side that, but we missed Moises and Alexis in the middle.
They both better be back for the Everton game!

Agree with this - but would refine it slightly to make it the same as Umpires call in cricket. Go with the onfield decision unless it’s so wrong that any part of the player is not onside (or offside).

Get him in behind a proper striker (and who knows, we may have one) and you'll see the player he is.
Ask him to lead the line against top quality defenders like that. OK yes, he'll look shit

Didn’t embarrass ourselves and could have imploded but kept going, Credit to our squad
Gilmour - lively, wanted the ball and played well, comforting to see. Don’t see him going anywhere in January
Ferguson - a handful, changed our threat, involved and scores. Didn’t look out of place at all and should start against Everton IMHO.
Trossard, hasn’t got the stature to play up top on his own, but don’t know about anyone else the body language has been appalling over the last week, doesn’t seem interested at all. Wonder if any offers come in for him that he likes but we’ve said no / not enough. Face like a smacked arse (more than usual) needs to have a rest against Everton (Appreciate PB has said no contact but doesn’t mean it’s true)
Colwill - a decent composed performance again, maybe at fault for the first but the whole back line was out of sync when lamptey lost it
On to Everton, who will have a bit of confidence after their draw with City but exactly the kind of game that we take the points from
Oh well

If you watch the first one back, his left foot got clipped. He was actually fouled and would have been past two defenders so no need to dive as he was running into the box. Should have been a BHA free kick.

Read a lot about missing Moises and Alexis which we obviously were going to but I thought Billy was excellent today, issue was more with Trossard not turning up (again) and Ars were a good side.

The post match take on Sky is so shallow. If Arteta has any sense he'll be saying to his board: 'Our first eleven is great, but there's the evidence that our squad won't win this league. ' An injury to any one of Odergaard, Saka, Gabriel or Partey and we have no replacement.

I know, no shit sherlock. Obviously in this case I wanted the goal to stand, but more generally I would too.Why? because you wanted it to?
It's more because I don't think it shouldn't be defined as offside, or VAR doesn't intervene in such circumstances. But that's not an easy one to figure out, so maybe not best for you to ponder.
