Especially since the defender clearly kicked his leg upward to try to take Tross down.

    Not a bad half to be fair, had the better chances and scored a good goal.

    Yeah, if we can just see it out with no new injuries, that would be great. (and we do have some people on the bench like Saka, Marti, Ode, etc.)

    Interesting.. Saka and Martinelli on for the second half in place of Sterling and Ethan.

    WTF was Raya doing there? Almost caught out unnecessarily charging toward the ball..

    ANd now MLS gives away a penalty.

    Edit - that may be overturned by VAR.. That would be a really weak penno

    Nonsense decision.

    Oh fuck off.. We never get any decisions from VAR

    Gotta say though. MLS was struggling with Tarkowski there. It kind of all started from Raya charging out when he didnt need to.

    1-1

    Not a hope that'd be given against Tarkowski at the other end.

    Garbage start to the second half

    We started this half (clearly) so poorly. We lost our composure. With players like Saka and Marti on, we should be putting this game to bed. instead, now we need to snatch another goal or 2.

    Everton upped their pressure. We're gonna have to weather it and grab control again.

    I don't know why the need to start Saka and Marti second half, we were doing okay

      I mean that's a weak penalty. MLS can't be doing that

      Good response by us tbf

      Because Arteta clearly wants Saka (especially) to get game rhythm back for when he starts against Real. And Marti he wants to keep his driving rhythm going also. But it seemed to disrupt the game to start the second half.

          USArsenal yeah I get that but should have waited at least 15-20 mins to allow the game to settle.

            Why the hell didn't Jorge try a shot there instead of trying to push the ball again. He had about 3 yards of space. Now we will have a wasted FK. (please make me eat my words)
