No card for a blatant dive by Nketiah

This is the sort of thing I think VAR should be able to alert the ref to, it's very clear and doesn't need any debate, just book him at the next break in play. Everyone watching the game knows he cheated but because the ref missed it he gets away with it.

I don’t think the ref missed it, he just chose not to book him

He gave a free kick didn't he?

No, the play went on and then stopped a few phases later, that was when Mings was asking him to be booked.

Mings straight back in with the away goal assist. He really does need upgrading in the summer.

Very nice opening 10 minutes but Arsenal been well on top since then.

We need to string some passes together.

Been too cheap giving possession away with loose passes and poor decisions. Need to sort that out.

If Mings spoke Spanish, he would have cleared that ball adequately.

That would be a booking at the other end.

Whenever something like this happens, I’m frantically pressing refresh on here. Just in case.

Coutinho going to be hooked at half time I think.

Liability out of possession in this one.

Me too. H&V is better than teletext.

Nketiah and Saka really should try playing in boots so they don't fall over so much.

Martinez has put it long a few times. Seems we've stopped trying to play between centrebacks - good call from Emergy if so.

Yep, you can see why he doesn’t start. There’s a world of difference coming in and looking good when you’re 3-0 down.
