GWT: EPL - Matchweek 8

[PanniniClaus]

Arsenal shoot themselves in the foot again with an awful back pass.


They claimed they were going to be aggressive in enforcing it this year and have done absolutely nothing.

Surround the ref, pick one for a red and that ends it. Won't happen one more time for the rest of the year.

Kiwior goes off after having been brought on, that can't feel good

Arsenal is the team that would get made an example of, that much is sure

I think a red is too harsh, but just handing out yellows to every player who does it would also get it done.

5 players walk over to the ref, 5 yellow cards get issued. Some might be second yellows, sucks to suck.

The captain can do it, but 4 yellows in this case would work for me haha

Arsenal should look at this Evanilson guy

Yea, the captain gets a bit more leeway, although I'd still like to see them cut down on the captain yelling and gesticulating excessively.

Jesus diving little twat

Such a bad performance all around. And the real killer is knowing that if Martinelli scores that one, then we have the talent at the back to potentially see out a win and salvage a bad performance.

 

[hatterson]

Now Liverpool will be able to play Arsenal without Saliba. Truly would be an epic choke job if they don't hold on and win the title.

5 red cards so far this week btw

3 DOGSOs, 1 second yellow, and then Kudus being dumb.

 

[booyakasha]

bad performance from Arsenal, even worse showing from Arteta.

 

[Savant]

I really wish the EPL would implement the rule that the Euros had about surrounding the ref.

They did. They enforced it for about two weeks and then stopped

Arsenal is the team that would get made an example of, that much is sure

Pretty sure Alexis Mac Allister got popped for this last season

Also I’m pretty sure this is why United gave Bruno the armband

That f’n Nottingham Forest game .

They just can’t help shitting the bed

I want anybody but Man City to win so bad that I would prefer the traditional rivals of Tottenham to win. I am cheering for Arsenal, which makes me angry to begin with. But when they just crap the bed over and over it makes me dislike them worse.

Let’s go Liverpool!

Rice blasts Arsenal's 'naivety' after B'mouth loss

Declan Rice lambasted Arsenal for their "naivety" this season following their 2-0 loss to Bournemouth in which they were reduced to 10-men for the third time this season.

[Chimaera]

Bournemouth are no mugs. I think it’s selling it a bit short. Without two of their best players, after a break, it’s not a layup, even taking a red.

I mean it’s all fun and games to laugh at Arsenal but there is a still a long was to go and they are going to be in it until the end. They are no worse than the 3rd (or 4th) best team in the league, and their top competition is City without Rodri and a LFC team that no one (including Arne Slot) knows if they are legit or not yet. Chelsea is going to be a threat too because they don’t give a shit about their midweeks and will be the best rested.

If either Chelsea or LFC win tomorrow either has a great case at being for real, but Arsenal is still the safest bet, and they probably should have been all season. They aren’t going anywhere. They might not need to get to 90 points this year with weakened Man City either. Time will tell

5 red cards so far this week btw

yeah, sort of a crazy weekend (and even only 1 day of 2)

Seemed like a fairly obvious DOGSO foul to me.

Should have got it right initially

yep, I frankly don't see how Rob Jones doesn't give an initial red -- seemed a clear cut DOGSO to me on first viewing.
