  • Arsenal - Aston Villa, Today, In about 3 and a half hours.

I think it does hit his arm, look at the direction of the spin after impact, it's in line with his arm.

    Maybe. It's hard to tell if it his the arm of the stomach. I can see both sides tbh.

    Best to look at it from all angles/clips before reaching a conclusion. I know we all want to quickly blame VAR but this was not the case today.

      Like I said, I can see both arguments looking at the video closer. Can't say 100% whether it was his stomach or his hand. They're so close together.

      It’s a handball. Let’s get over it and move forward.

      Yeah unfortunately I think that's correct, his arm also moves at the point of impact.

      Artetas post match comments are concerning. Sounds like he's sending a message to the board, third match in a row he does that.

      Maybe you shouldn't have wasted cash on some of the useless players you brought in.

        naz tbh I think the board are within their rights to expect more ROI from Arteta

          Big Willie you have 1 angle in those twitter videos and it hides the arm.

          naz I agree but he didn't do it alone and he obviously wanted Sesko who the club/Edu failed to close.

          Mirth more than achieving the targets they set? I guarantee there was no deal that said "we'll buy you Calafiori if you win the league". Everyone said we were ahead of schedule when were flying high, so obviously nobody thought what we'd done so far would be enough. There was no follow through this summer because they were happy with where we were at, not because they wanted more "ROI".

            What the fuck happened here?

            I watched the first half and was pleasantly surprised with the performance, considering the personnel. Couldn't watch the second half, had to be driving.

            I see we went 2-0 up and then fucked it all up? Can't someone give me a brief summary what went wrong?

              Coombs nothing to do with schedule, just the quality and durability of players that we’ve bought.

              est Can't someone give me a brief summary what went wrong?

              Defended two balls into the box poorly. That was it, really. Frustrating that we didn't even blow the win in any sort of interesting way.

                tielemans run and finish was great, as was the delivery. but that was a winnable ball for merino. it highlighted an issue I've noticed with him struggling to track back. he's often lagging behind the ball on defensive transitions. it kind of makes him a general drag on our game because he doesn't exactly ligh the world on fire up front either.
