[SA Gunner]

**** off

Henry: Its a fair challenge.

GTFOH man.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Alonso put his both hands in Bellerin face that surely must be a foul. Alonso is another guy who got a punchable face.

 

[Xhaka Zulu]

The consensus among all of the former players is that it's a fair challenge. Dixon said the same on my broadcast. There's nothing wrong with being objective. If Mustafi scores that goal by clattering Cahill we'd all say it was a fair challenge.

I don't think he's being objective tbh. He has shown to not have a backbone in his current function.

As for the challenge, the replays clearly show Alonso's arm hitting Bellerin in the face before he heads the ball.

 

[Taylor Gang Gunners]

Out of 10, how do we rate the Cech signing?

Solid 5.5.

 

[Preacher]

F*** off

 

[Furious]

**** off

That's a clear foul ffs.

 

[MaraDon]

sanchez has changed his game in the past couple of months

looking much more selfish- chasing the ball more, not releasing it in time, not trusting team-mates

I get it- but it is to the detriment of the team even if it gets him the goals

it's proper 'best kid in the playground' stuff

frustration.

 

[razörist]

**** off man

Just make sure you can still laugh about it

 

[Jasard]

Really like Monreal, but clearly when most teams seem to target him there is a problem.

I feel that way about so many Spaniards. They're all arrogant ****s.

 

[El Duderino]

Not on the bench.

Bah, woke up late for the game. Didn't notice it. Was pleased to see the shape of the team in the begining of the game, with Özil on the left and Sanchez central (midfield three!).

Iwobi has been pretty invisible thus far, would love someone more direct there.

 

[SA Gunner]

If that was Cech instead of Bellerin, would it still be a fair challenge?

I dont think so.

I guess it relates to the perils of zonal marking again. It is always the wrong match up of players.

 

[Aevi]

Giroud's warming up? Can we not bring on Welbeck first?

 

[Garrincha]

he wasn't bellerin's man...he did good well jto be challenge

Definitely but you cant blame Alonso for that.

 

[Makingtrax]

Just saw another replay of Alonso - **** me that's a ****ing foul

Walcott could have done so much more.

He's sees Alonso's run and doesn't run with him to put him off. Because he gambles the ball will come out to him, because he's attack minded and doesn't have a defensive bone in his body.

The wingers in our system have to be able to attack and defend.

 

[fabo]

Regret saying how **** Alonso is right about now.

 

[Xhaka Zulu]

Özil should be taken off for Welbeck. Let Alexis pull the strings.

Or maybe Welbeck for Walcott. Not sure what he's been doing on the pitch.

 

[Makingtrax]

I'm not sure what Walcott could have done he's not going to stop Alonso from making his run by holding him back.

That's rubbish.

 

[Lookin' for a new Baby]

Our top players very rarely turn up for the big games and that costs us.

They don't seem to be turning up for many games at the moment.
