Me: "MLS deserved a red card"

You: "There we go again...Not that hard to blame our own player. I do not need to cry over PGMOL or VAR."
Yes, it was an obvious red card but for some reason the first thing in mind for Arsenal is always Liverpool. I expect another crying session tomorrow whatever is the result or decision in the Man City game.
 
Anyone out there who wants to argue that Arsenal suffer less from the loss of Saka and their other attacking players than Lierpool suffer from the loss of Joe Gomez? Anyone?
I am not going in that territory, this is just stupid. Gomez is not that important.

Wtf are you talking about lol. The first comment following the play was a Liverpool fan already getting pre-mad about VAR not overturning the call.

Can't help but laugh at Liverpool fans coming in here getting mad at the thought of Arsenal fans being able to complain about something when none of us even disagreed with the call. And now you're trying to gaslight me into thinking I'm the one obsessed with you guys lol.

Not sure how it's escaped you that I wasn't upset, simply mocking the preemptive outrage we see going the other way

I am not responsible from other Liverpool fans like you are not responsible for that @bluesfan94 obsession over Liverpool games.

I am sure that it's escaped you both that I don't sit around thinking about Liverpool all day. But apparently you do for Arsenal. Good grief.

There was no outrage for the call (preemptive or any other). You guys must think we're as fickle as you to complain about clearly correct calls.
 
On a sidenote. Kudus was very impressive and Evan Ferguson was useless for West Ham.

I still think the eventual winner will need around 86 pts to win the league. Which is very low but this year the league has been more wide open than ever.
 
Ferguson played for 10 minutes, during which they were almost entirely defending. Seems harsh.
He had an open net provided by Kudus and did nothing but lose the ball.

He also got in the way of another of his own player when they were about to counter and it gave a prime chance to Trossard to shoot at the net straight from the middle. Overall it was not a good 10 minutes for a guy that was fresh of the bench like him.

Assuming this is the play I'm thinking of, Kudus's pass was absolutely terrible and he should've shot it himself. He played Ferguson into a spot where he was already totally swarmed.

That was a terrible play by Kudus. He had a lane to take a right-footed shot across goal and, if he doesn't score, give Ferguson an opportunity to collect a rebound. Instead, he cut to his left and laid off a pass that forced Ferguson to check back on his right foot. He blew up that play all on his own.

Nice win. I'm not really evaluating Potter at all with this roster. He just has to keep the confidence of the group up and get them in good habits. This squad is going to get some major surgery in the summer.

Kudus had just as much to do with that putrid 2v1 as Ferguson did. He should have just kept running instead of slowing up and then playing a pass to Ferguson that was going to allow the defender to get in front of him

They should take away West Ham's 3 points for how bad that 2v1 was

It was not a good pass but he still had time to place a shot and instead he just standed there and gave away easily the ball. He could have turn on the jet and attack the open space or trust his left foot or even try an audacious chip all decision would have been better than what he did.
 
At a glance, it looks like Chelsea have switched to a 3-4-3 today, with James at RCB and Cucurella and Gusto as wingbacks.

So it'll almost definitely actually be the same 4-3-3 as usual, and either Reece or Cucurella playing out of position in midfield!

I mean three of us independently saw the same thing - Kudus slowed up and then played a pass behind Ferguson. Kudus made a poor decision. There was no way for him to easily turn on the jets after holding his run to stay onside and then having the ball passed behind him.
 
The stream has James listed on RW....?

That can't be right...

James is indeed in midfield.
