I’m so jaded by Man City’s dominance, I still fancy them to win this

Trossard you absolute fucking div. No attempt for the ball, kick it away anyway, seconds before the whistle. Clown.

Officials don't do themselves any favours do they. You can easily argue that's a yellow, but there's no way you could say it meets a 'higher standard' that they've suddenly decided to start telling us exists.
Exactly, I’m happy for kicking the ball away to be a yellow and a second yellow, but not when Sky have spent the last few weeks defending terrible tackles not being second yellows because it didn’t meet a higher standard. If it would get you a first yellow, it should always be enough to get you a second yellow. Don’t know why we needlessly complicate things.

Players have got to be next level stupid if they’re still petulantly kicking balls away right now, especially when you just got a booking 10 minutes prior.

Some very odd refereeing in this game. Think you could make an argument that both Arsenal goals shouldn’t have been allowed. The first one probably doesn’t meet the criteria to be disallowed tbf but seems a bit mad that Oliver called Walker over to him, taking him out of position and then let Arsenal take the free kick quickly.

5-4-0 is the only way to defend a lead away at Man City whilst down to 10 men, even then it’ll mostly be luck if you somehow escape with a win.

Don’t help themselves when Doku did the same and it went unpunished.

IDK,will be entertaining to watch if arsenal can frustrate or Man city choke?
Could’ve been a really exciting back and forth game 11v11 with Man City chasing it.

Watching one team probe for a goal and another shithouse and park the bus just isn’t entertaining.

Be amazed if they see this out , but I also feel that deep down arteta would take a point now too
