How 10-Man Arsenal So Nearly Beat Man City.

[@whole.milk__]

before the game i'd say a lot of arsenal fans would be relatively okay or even delighted with a draw - but the circumstances within which it happened, and how every game-changing event happened in stoppage time, with Stones' equaliser coming in at 90+8 when stoppage time was +7 just hurts so much. Arsenal could have walked away with a WIN, AWAY at the Ethihad, against MAN CITY, with TEN MEN for 50 minutes of the game. I had fully expected Man City to start scoring for fun after half time

Not a fan of Arsenal and think parking the bus last year was embarrassing but this year they had a lead and were 10 men down. Anything other than basically 8 or 9 behind the ball would have been idiotic. And they almost got away with it. Arteta had Pep’s number in the second half. The only reason city even scored is cause Grealish decided to go off the cuff and try something other than what they were trying for 45 minutes. This was by far the worst second half performance from Pep I’ve ever seen tactically. They had ZERO ideas on how to do anything. Expecting a long shot from Dias or Kovacic to magically get them out of trouble. Kyle walker was their biggest creator. How embarrassing. They looked void of ideas. Were they thrown off by Rodri’s injury? Arsenal will remain solid defensively, they are very well drilled but I do think they will have a lot of more draws in the next period missing odegaard than they should because I don’t think they create enough going forward without him (and I’m not speaking today’s game). They have a very very easy next 2 weeks though and a pretty straight forward run once they get back from the next international break barring a few games.

The added time was a farce to, that's the most the ball has been in play in a half off football this year, they just pulled minutes out their arse. City had the better opening 20, but by the end of that half we were evidently the better and more dominant side. Not sure what rivals expected us to do in the second half?

I always like the analysis on this channel and breakdown pf play. But i can't agree on the Trossard sending off. I do agree that time wasting and kicking the ball away should warrant yellow cards, but when the referee isnt punishing other players for it....why is he so quick to brand a yellow card and ultimately a sending off! This was always going to impact the game negatively....the same referee who didn't book Kovacic twice last season for 2 yellow/red card challenges because he didn't want to negatively impact the game. Again, there is no consistency, and it appears to me that they seem to be aiming at arsenal any chance possible. Call me delusional if you wish, but the same happened when Rice got sent off against brighton, pedro had smashed the ball after going out of play (aka, time wasting and kicking the ball away) and never recieved punishment. So what are the excuses here from PGMOL for no consistency? What the referee should have done was give Trossard a final warning. Anything else and you're off. It would have been much fairer considering both Silva and Doku didn't get punished for kicking the ball away/time wasting, and it wouldn't have negatively impacted the game for the second half. To me its clear as day that they are targeting Arsenal, and i imagine its because Arsenal called them out last season. Which has clearly hit a nerve with them.

Please don't buy into the EPL analyst bullshit. City will lose. They lose less often than we would like, but they do.

[@610vegas]

He was sent off for kicking the ball away not the foul. shocking decision.

[@ilwe]

Trossard sent off for kicking the ball away....

[@tomekkaminski2677]

Just don't stall the game so much , dont be that shit team. EASY

[@Mark3Spark]

all things considering the cards and the goals the refs decision finishing that game 1-1 a sharing points allows the league to play catch up on last years 1st and 2nd arsenal have learnt to park the bus when needed 10 men winning the game, no need to attack and get caught on the counter

[@james59044]

Wow, haverts and timber didn't complete a parr the whole game? Haram football

[@maxderdax6117]

Im surprised noone is talking about the blocking of ederson on the corner. It silly thats allowed because at that point let’s just form a circle around the keeper and block his path so it’s a goal every time. Ridiculous

[@marsx5886]

Or defend

[@michaelthorpe3262]

Serious question, if the arsenal players were standing still and didnt move when there was contact, is that a problem? Martinelli definitely was there to make life hard for Ederson, but does he have to actively try and get out of his way?

[@joshuamorgan1137]

Brother… Ederson is a premier league keeper, big boy, and he did absolutely nothing to even attempt to get that ball. Martinelli stood still and Ederson just let it happen. Every single goal city concede they storm the ref and have some dumbass reason it wasn’t a goal. Ederson was really poor, same as walker.

[@Tartar_Roshanu]

Villa started this against Arsenal, but now you want to cry wolf...be my guest

[@barugambireismailismail1688]

So u want a Gk to be given a full yard perimeter in corner kicks ,lol

[@CoconutJewce]

How they did it? 8-2-0 formation and being Set Piece FC (which includes having multiple people fouling/blocking the keeper on every set piece).

[@mintviper5213]

Arsenal don't play football, they play anti-football. They time waste with fake injuries and cramp, they complain, they block and delay set pieces, they stand on the GK at corners.

[@AERT_Jaffa1620]

As an Arsenal fan I am no where near happy enough. Not at our performance but the fact that after the anxiety and torture of thst game we only came out with a point. I doubt any arsenal fan was happy after that game

[@AK-kz8pe]

To all the Arsenal haters I see on the comments here, including that utter twat Bernardo Silva - please keep on. You simply don't matter. Proud of this Arsenal team that went at it. Gutted by the draw that feels like a loss, but when you play 10 vs Al Citeh and their referees, after a day less after the last game, 3 away games at that... it was great. Well done Arsenal, COYG

[@Chris-tc6ws]

If the ref blows the whistle to end the game on time, Arsenal win.

[@mintviper5213]

Maybe Stoke City should stop time wasting and extra time wouldn't have to be given

[@Fakeslimshady]

@@mintviper5213 You mean extra-extra time?

[@mintviper5213]

@Fakeslimshady if Stoke City doesn't pretend to have cramp in extra time, thus delaying extra time, then exrra-extra time wouldn't have to be given

[@Fakeslimshady]

@@mintviper5213 What if they wasted time during extra-extra time, would there be extra-extra-extra-time?

Arsenal need to go on a run. they have easy games until liverpool.

[@joyalshaji2730]

terrible explainations, sounds like a third rate supply teacher.

[@JJJ_67]

Don't think you're being fair on Walker with the first goal, Oliver called him to the halfline to discuss something and then he's ready to blow the whistle before he's back to his proper positioning. Arsenal started the run up when they saw Oliver was readying to resume play and the freekick was timed on the whistle which is fair play, but Oliver should let a defender get back to his position if he's the one calling him out of position to begin with

[@hssIceland]

If there was ever an argument for a "sin bin" in football, it would be for stupid crap like that red. Now, I dont think that was a red, I dont think he kicks the ball away AFTER the ref blows for the foul. We are talking about a fraction of a second here. BUT, according to the rules that (remember, fraction of a second) is a red, now obviously, this particular rule is impossible to enforce in any sort of "consistent" manner because you would end every game with 16 player. So, putting a player on the sideline for 5 minutes wouldn't ruin the game like a red does for what is essentially a "harmless foul."

[@lemmingsftw2480]

he should've got the yellow for the foul anyway so who cares, both the foul and booting the ball away = second yellow, obviously. no to mention the fact trossard did not have a split second to react, he knew he made the foul and he knew the ref was going to blow the whistle, hence why he booted the ball the way he did

[@hssIceland]

What he "knew" or didn't "know" is irrelevant, until the ref actually blows the whistle the game is still going and the fact that the time from the the whistle blowing and Trossard actually hitting the ball was essentially in the same moment. As far as the foul goes, yeah, that could have been deemed yellow, but the "kicking the ball away" was not.

[@lemmingsftw2480]

@@hssIceland wrong

[@Itzxkazer]

@@hssIcelandits only irrelevant if you isolate it from the context of the situation. Arsenal soaking pressure hoping to make it to half time looking to break up play, Trossard not even looking to get at the ball just runs straight through Bernardo so he knows its a foul and he’s going to hear the whistle he just didn’t hit it in to orbit quickly enough. You can’t just put it in a vacuum out of context and even if you did it was still after the whistle. Theres literally no valid reason why the second yellow is undeserved no matter how you try and twist your perspective.

[@alisinatehrani8576]

@@Itzxkazermy problem isn’t the fact that trossard gets the yellow. It’s the inconsistency regarding the booking. Szoboslai, Joao Pedro, and even doku in this same game, have all escaped yellow cards for the same infraction. You can’t pick and choose when to apply the law. Not to mention Michael Oliver not sending off kovacic last year because he didn’t want to ‘ruin’ the game. I just want the rules to apply to everyone and not only us. I have never seen a non arsenal player get a second yellow for kicking the ball away.

[@danielhicklin143]

Don’t think I agree with them hammering us going into half time felt we’re were more ontop

[@Hhuityxcd]

James got pretty much everything wrong in this video. It wasn't "dark arts" for the first Arsenal goal. Kyle Walker is summoned by Oliver and as he then relays to his team what Oliver told him, the game is allowed to restart. That's Oliver playing for Arsenal, that's not Arsenal being smart that's the ref forcing a player out of position that leads to a goal. Trossard is sent off for kicking the ball away not for tackling Silva. For Arsenals second goal 2 people literally just go in to stop Ederson from going up, it's a clear foul and it's easy for Gabriel to score headers if the keeper is allowed to be fouled.
