Why didnt VAR check on the penalty foul on Richarlison !!?!
It looked a clear penalty
VAR is so fecking random
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Another possible penalty foul on Paulhinha this time .. quick replays were inconclusive so why aren’t VAR doing a proper check ?
This is so confusing
Every time there’s a goal VAR are there checking everything to try and wipe the goal off ..
Back in the day all the decisions went in favour of the attacking team if there was any doubt

The results were like opposite day yesterday.:joker:
Although I unfortunately expected us to lose to Coventry, Lampard has got them playing really well.
And we're playing a bit static at the moment, we need to have a plan B when plan A isn't working.

Yes, again, it would have, but he flung himself to the ground mid air, which was not natural and just looked ridiculous. Had he just allowed himself to fall naturally the pen would have probably stood. He made too much of a meal of it.

I think they actually can .. they have as good a squad as Liverpool with a better defence to Liverpool’s better attacking options.
Maybe the key is Gyökeres .. if he can start scoring regularly which I think he can then Arsenal definitely can win the title

Liverpool fans wont agree obviously, but Palace beating Liverpool was crucial for the neutral fans who wanna see a title race this season, and for fans without a dog in the title fight, ie me and Chelsea. Feel like it's a 3 horse race now. Liverpool, Arsenal, City.
From what i've seen, Liverpool have been getting the results, but not playing particularly well. Arsenal showed grit today, something they've lacked in previous years, and they need it if they're gonna challenge. City, since their losses, have looked like the well oiled machine of old. Gonna be interesting for sure.
Chelsea and Spurs shouldn't even be in the title race conversation after their rubbish results against bottom half teams.

I've played years and years of football Zizu, and the way he went down was pathetic, clear dive.
Personally I think that diving needs to be punished with a straight red card, regardless of if there's contact.
You'd soon see less players trying to be the next Tom Daley.

I don’t think it was a dive for the reasons I have mentioned above
That said I agree that clear and obvious diving SHOULD be dealt with severely !!
I’m talking about people like Anthony Gordon ( who should never be playing for England ) who’s built like a middleweight boxer yet falls down like a lady of the night’s knickers every time he gets close to the opponent’s penalty box
We also need to train the refs and linesmen to recognise clear and obvious diving as every single time a forward closes down a defender with the ball the defender will either fall dramatically to the floor at the first, slightest touch OR stop the forward getting near the ball by clearly obstructing them until the ball rolls out of play

Sky Sports have just spent 15 minutes dissecting the penalty incident ..
Concluding that whilst there was contact with the Arsenal forward - the keeper got a slight touch of the ball first .
( replays showed significant contact given the keeper’s leg was knocked sideways and the Arsenal player was felled )
There was zero suggestion that the arsenal guy dived
Quelle surprise !!

If you wanna say that's a natural way to fall, that's fine. His arm and head movement as he flung himself to the ground was comical though.

Have i once disputed there was contact? In fact about 3 posts in here of mine say there was clear contact. Im saying the way he theatrically flung himself to the ground was embarrassing, as do thousands of others on twitter.
Im not going through this again with you, i literally don't care, i couldn't give a toss about either side, i was just annoyed Arsenal didn't keep a clean sheet because i have 2 of their defenders in my fantasy team.
Move on Zizu, please, it's not really an issue now, Arsenal won the game, it didn't cost them anything.
Im a lot more focused on the Chelsea game tonight, Chelsea have major issues right now, im a lot more worried about their woes than something that happened in a game between Arsenal and Newcastle at the weekend.

From what i see of the Liverpool last night, they looked poor. Tbh, most of what i've seen from Liverpool this season hasn't been great. They need to be seriously worried about Arsenal, and City who look dangerous atm.
However, Liverpool have an easy win at the weekend against Chelsea, so maybe thrashing Chelsea can give them a lift.

last time i loved european football, was more in the final UEFA Cup days, with the epic win from Shakhtar Donetsk
Mircea Lucescu is just my kind of manager tbh, also fun fact Lucescu and Gheorghe Hagi still have a strong relationship, more like a father figure to Hagi, whom still says Lucescu made him the great player he was
Ianis Hagi also sees Lucescu as a second grandfather basically, and Gica Popescu is like an uncle for Ianis, considering Gica and Gheorghe Hagi are like brothers
no, i just love Lucescu's approach to coaching, not just as a manager but also as a mentor, and many of the current romanian generation players love working under him, and tbh respect for Lucescu still active as romania national team coach at the age of 80! also poetic kinda, since it is his second term as national team coach after many decades ago

Interesting. Maybe he'll come good, but any time he manages a top team and the pressure is really on, he seems to fail miserably. Still, the form he and Coventry are currently in won't do him any harm for the future.

You may win 4:0 with Liverpool looking disjointed or they may win 4:0 due to your defence ( or lack of ) if Wirtz has found his proper boots. ..

What an absolute car crash of a team !
Can’t believe they haven’t also signed up Aluko , Carney and Sweetman to complete the set of absolutely horrific pundits !
We can only pray that the competition keeps them all away from our proper games for a few weeks at least .

Peach of a hit! I mean Liverpool look BAD, if they were playing a better team the game would be all over by now. Can't call the 2nd half. Chelsea are playing well though, but look so dodgy at the back, as per!
There was contact on Garnacho, but it wasn't a pen, i dunno why he didn't keep going!
Scratch that, we don't have any defenders left, they're all injured

I'd rather you win it than LiverpoolMe too.
People are waking up to the fact that the new Liverpool signings are taking a little time to settle in, which is disrupting them. Liverpool doesn't press with the same intensity as last year. Frimpong is much like Trent in that he's great going forward but not the best defensively, and Kerkez is looking dodgy TBH.
The Arsenal squad appears to be well-stocked in terms of depth. We have seven centre-backs that would get into most teams. Arteta cannot be the one who holds this squad back. If he is, then we'll get someone else. Get it done Mikel
EDIT:BTW the seven centre-backs are Saliba, Gabriel, Calafiori, Mosquera, Hincapie, Ben White and Timber

I'll hold my hands up, i thought it was all over 4 games into the season, and yeah what with Liverpool's new signings, i thought they'd run rampant. However I said a couple weeks back, Liverpool are getting the results, but only just, and they're not looking great at all.
Well, Palace, Galatasary and Chelsea, all mid level teams atm, have proved there's no need to fear Liverpool, take it to 'em, they look very poor, very mediocre, and VERY beatable now. Deflated too.
In saying all that, i will hold my hands up again, i didn't envision Arsenal doing and playing so well, but they are. I said after the big Newcastle win last week, Arsenal are showing grit, and that's what they need if they're gonna win the title.
You guys look very soild atm, all round decent team. If i were you, City would be my only worry atm as they seem to have gone back into "well oiled machine" mode.
But overall, and so far this season, Arsenal are the best side. Good luck to you. Hurts saying that as Chelsea fan, but fck Liverpool, and meh City.

Forest playing some beautiful football in the Newcastle game
That said there’s another weak -ass referee
The ref was 5 yards away looking directly at Joelinton as he hacked down Anderson from behind .. then when Anderson got to his feet and tried to make himself available to receive the freekick ..Joelinton wrapped his arms around him to stop him moving then trod on his foot and then pushed him away when the freekick went upfield .
All with the ref watching who took no action !!?
This kinda of thing mystifies me
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Anyone watching Joelinton barging and kicking everyone !?
He’s just barged Gibbs White off the pitch then barged Anderson then immediately kicked him up in the air from behind !!
The ref had a word with him ..
Now he’s just challenged for a header going into the back of Nico Williams and and laid him out !
No booking !!!

I just don’t understand why women are taking over our game !!
You know my opinion on the sad proliferation of unqualified & unlikeable female pundits and co commentators …
Well it’s spreading all throughout the tv coverage .
Watch today as the games are going on ( between 3 and 4.45 ) Sky and TNT go from game to game, ground to ground getting live updates from their representatives - it used to be guys giving their summaries but now it’s 85% women ( young women) who are being employed .
Same when the tv companies hire fans from the clubs to give a fan’s view of something ..
Currently Forest are struggling and big Ange is at risk of being sacked .. these are the two representatives chosen by Sky and TalkSport …
Now aren’t talking about women’s football here. - women’s football use just women for pundits, commentators, hosts , fan representation
Wouldn’t it be more logical to get a guy who’s supported Forest for about 30 years or so ?

It will be interesting to see if the narrative changes over the next few weeks. A few weeks ago, many 'experts' claimed the season was over; now, I expect those same 'experts' to start talking about the long season ahead, emphasising that "it’s a marathon, not a sprint."
Last season, Liverpool won the league with 84 points. When Arteta pointed out that this was a low total, he was criticised, but he was correct; it's the lowest points total since Leicester City won the title. Liverpool lost four games last season, and they've already lost three this year. They have upcoming matches against Brentford away, Aston Villa at home, and Manchester City away. How confident are Liverpool fans really, considering that the new signings are still taking time to settle in?

even at the start of the season, liverpool were very fortunate to get the results they did, so they really haven't got worse or better. Arsenal, Spurs, Man City and Man U are all improving as the weeks go on. I think liverpool may well struggle getting into the top 4

They have conceded two goals in five out of eight league games, which is indicative of mid-table form. Even with over £400 million worth of attacking talent, it isn't easy to score three goals against most Premier League teams. I believe Slot should focus less on how many goals Arsenal scores from set pieces and pay more attention to addressing his team's porous defence.

Well it took them long enough to realise that unless they had the right type of players it was suicidal …
I still like Arsenal as I like so many of their players but I do miss their beautiful football and intricate build ups ..
Also I just can’t take to Gyokores and I am wondering if as soon as Havertz or Jesus are fit they leave him on the bench as Plan b
I can see them offloading Goyokeres in the January window

but tbh, i am praying for a miracle, and how EPIC would it be, 80 yr old Lucescu at the world cup
i mean with Dragus, Hagi and Dennis Man in quite a good form lately
we need to hold back against san marino, so no monster score there otherwise those sammarinese get to the play offs :notimpressed: just a 3-0 maybe is what we should aim for, and save our energy for the cracker against Bosnia
and fun fact btw Mircea Lucescu has same amount of titles won as Sir Alex Ferguson, and another parallel with Sir Alex, Lucescu also had a long spell at a club (Shakhtar) and both also prefer youth academy talent
both also are fathers of sons who also are coaches (Mircea and Razvan, while Alex and Darren)
