If we’re going with Sagna has a RB, then we have to go with Zinchenko as the LB. Yes, Monreal was here for more years and did great things, but the bottom line for me is that last season’s Arsenal was our best since 2008, and possibly the Invincibles. It was the first time in a very long time we got over 80 points.
That doesn’t happen without Zinchenko.
A dive is a dive, and what happens after is irrelevant unless there’s violent conduct. It’s also not always going to be called. The amount of shirt grabbing and pulling that we see ignored… the ref didn’t have to overturn the decision of the field.
All good shouts.
Bernardo Silva drawing a penalty against Granit Xhaka in a game we were absolutely dominating. I believe it was their first touch in the box. The call on the field was no foul.
VAR reviewed it and conveniently for City, only showed the view of Granit’s shirt pull, but not Bernardo’s dive that led to Granit pulling his shirt to keep his balance.
It completely changed the game, and then they gave Gabriel a yellow for crowding the ref which happens every time there’s a penalty shout.
This sub is going to end up picking a team that never properly competed for the league
