We are so poor going forward. Adingra in the last 10 seconds of the half gets 1v1 with the full back on the edge of the box. Can he cross it early? Can he beat his man? Can he run at him into the box and win a penalty? No, he turns around and passes it 15 yards backwards to Lamptey.

the ball doesn’t change its flight though. He barely clips it at most but mainly he kicks Gabriel. I don’t like it but it’s a fairly clear pen tbh
It was definitely more a penalty than it wasn’t 🤷🏻‍♂️

He didn't WIN the ball - he barely touched it and it never changed direction. I'm sorry but that's an obvious penalty, much as I wish it wasn't.
Can you imagine if it was the other way around and how many of those on here saying it wasn't a penalty would still be saying that. :lolol:

Dunk leaving that ball for Bart was madness- he makes a lot of bad decisions still after 400 games.

The pen. I’d have been screaming for it if it were t’other way round. That being said, Tariq got a touch on the ball. No pen.

So by that logic every single slide tackle ever is a foul? If you slide tackle and win the ball, you usually win it and then make some contact with the man after. So is every time this happens a foul then?

Reckon we are nailed for a red in the 2nd. Strange feel this one. They're quite intense Arsenal.

To be honest, before VAR that would have been given a penalty every time. It was difficult to see the slight touch he got a bit of the ball without slow motion.

The reffing has been terrible but we can't get through their press well enough and when we do we're not creating chances
We are creating chances ( Enciso’s attempt a case in hand) we are mostly just squandering them with poorly timed crosses, a couple of poor finishes from Danny and bad decisions by Adingra mostly.
