    He's falling over, he literally did the same hand action twice. Totally natural

    I'd be fuming if we conceded a pen for that.

    I don't think the Elanga one was a pen either, but if you're giving the Saka one (also not a pen) then you have to give that one.

    He fell over, then he started crawling, then he handballed.

    It's not a natural part of the movement when he's falling.

    That's what your man on BT said but it's bollox. He fell, then crawled along the ground and then purposefully flicked the ball backwards. He did not fall on the ball.

    What's he supposed to do? Instantly lose all energy and stop any momentum? Leave his arm somewhere else so he falls face first in to the ground? It's madness and desperation to think thats a penalty

    Our defending is lacking and we all know we are not a great team, however this game was completely decided by the officiating. Can’t change my mind on that.

    Warching Elanga get barged and pulled from behind every time he beats a defender and not giving a thing. Being able to pretend Fall and push the ball backward in your own box. It’s a joke.

    Agree.
     
    A confident team takes more of our chances today. Sadly when you are down and even playing well (in an attacking sense) you miss chances you should score.

    Have a look at gerrads interview with neville on sky.

    You know you have no purpose in life when you rely on Mother Therashford and the trendy, shit bearded, Milan wannabe male lesbian to save you from a shit Arsenal squad.

    fecking hell :lol:

    The guy has created the most chances in the league in a side with no midfield and one 37 year old striker.

    The number of passes he attempts, of course he will create chances. It's his high risk game but overall he's been terrible, considering his role, status and now wages, he has been one of the worst players of the season easily. Don't need stats to see he is not that guy anymore, he has lost the plot

    Somehow you've managed a post worse than the game. Congrats.

    Ralph says all the right things but even the likes of Big Sam or Tony Pulis would have done a better job at steadying the ship by sorting out that defence. The quicker he goes upstairs the better. Just end the season now.

    No Fat Sam and Long Ball Pulis wouldn’t have done better. Get your head out of your arse.

    He was crawling until he flicks the ball away and as he does so throws himself to the deck as he knows the ball is gone.

    He wasn't falling and didn't fall on the ball.

    Some purple patch that. He carried us for about 12 months and before we signed him he was outstanding for Sporting.

    guy was in his mid 20s playing his trade Liga Sagres. Reports of our scouting team advising against signing him because he's wasteful/lacks composure on the ball. Purple patch indeed

    Bruno is as broken as the rest of the squad right now. There is no way the Bruno we've seen today is a true reflection of his ability. The same applies to most of our squad to be fair.

    A full pre-season under ETH, a mass-clearout of the unwanted players and a few new signings could be all this team needs.
     
    The bruno contract is the same mistake we keep making, Rooney huge contract when in decline, De Gea, Huge contract when in decline, Bruno, huge contract when production in decline.

    He's never performed that well for Portugal. I was just reminded of his performance in the first game of the season where he scored a hattrick against Leeds. feck me that seems like ages ago. No idea what's happened to him.
