I agree. I just think Rice made the biggest mistake. Everything else happened before they had the ball. By the time they get the ball sane we are still set. Rice rash reaction makes Dane’s mind up as he leave his space that opens an area sane can pass. We move. Rice gets 63% of the blame for the goal
Watch it again the only reason Rice is there is because he drops into that position to support whoever Gabriel was trying to pass the ball to. The bad positioning is because the ball went to a Bayern player instead.
When sane gets the ball rice is in very good position. The picture I shared shows sane is on the ball and groetzka is 10 yards infront of rice. If rice stays in his position nothing happens. Instead he pushes up and groetzka runs into the space he leaves between our CBs. He essentially made Sanes mind up to pass to the area he left
He could have done better no doubt but I can’t imagine anyone watching that video would say he was the main reason for that goal. Look at that donkey level defending that’s something Chesney and Kos would have pulled off.When sane gets the ball rice is in very good position.

Not sure that Partey exists anymore.
Gabriel still had an easy pass to Kiwior which he played under no pressure and Kiwior failed to control when my nan pre hip replacement could have reeled it in without issue. It's like if a squirrel runs across 100 feet in front of my car and then a few seconds later when the squirrel is gone, I jump the curb for absolutely no reason. It's not the squirrel's fault at that point.
Once again projecting. You always want to come off as insightful. Like you're saying something deep that most on here don't get about the current players and yet you were twerking for Pepe
. Make it make sense, please.

I'm just using Pepe as an example cause I notice you like to throw passive aggressive shots at current arsenal players. You just wait for them to have a subpar game after playing 10 consistent games in a row then nitpick their game lol. I think some of y'all are so jaded that you just watch Arsenal hoping that things fall apart because of the last 20 years.
Gabi didn`t really give the ball away. He made a pass which Kiwi should have been able to get. When the opposition is attacking and Rice can see that Gabi is out of position, the no 6 should ensure that he should not step up and let a player who is well in front of him get behind so easily. I don`t think we gave the ball away in a stupid position actually. It was out wide almost near the middle of the pitch.
It really isn't though. This is like blaming the pigeon that distracted Ramsdale. A professional footballer should be able to make the pass that Gabriel misplayed to Kiwior when under pressure. He wasn't even under pressure. Your GK coming out of the goal and then retreating 5 seconds earlier should not unsettle you to the point that you react like Gabriel did nor should a professional footballer make a total c*ckup of receiving a slightly misplayed ball the way Kiwi did. The action was over and done with. Blaming Raya is absolutely nonsensical. His part of it is long over by the time the other 2 conspire to concede. It's funny, if Raya leaks in a ball shot straight at him after a defender gives the ball away to concede that shot, Raya is still going to get the blame, so I have no idea why people are so keen to absolve the defenders of their mistake.
