Arsenal seem to be making all the wrong choices here.

ctrl-alt-delete · 15-02-2023 08:06PM

So the ref does have his cards at least.

Probably gave Silva his yesterday.

4th official sending pep back 1 yard while arteta is marauding. just be consistent

Loafing Oaf · 15-02-2023 08:09PM

what's this? penalty?

y0ssar1an22 · 15-02-2023 08:10PM

peno arsenal?

Fitz* · 15-02-2023 08:10PM

He's very annoying but Bernardo Silva has done some amount of different positions for City over the years.

Bought and played as a RW.

Has played as a 10 behind the main striker but also upfront himself as the CF or false 9.

Played as both an attacking 8 and as part of double pivot with 2 in midfield.

Currently playing as a LB / DM hybrid.

y0ssar1an22 · 15-02-2023 08:10PM

how TF is that a peno?

ctrl-alt-delete · 15-02-2023 08:10PM

If Ederson hadn't been booked for time wasting, he'd be booked there.

ShamoBuc · 15-02-2023 08:11PM

Not a penalty. But it makes it interesting,

wanderer100 · 15-02-2023 08:11PM

Never a penalty that

sligeach · 15-02-2023 08:11PM

That was close to crossing the line. Penalty though for Arsenal. Get the City players out of there.

~Rebel~ · 15-02-2023 08:11PM

A fckin million City players completely surrounding the ref.

Quazzie · 15-02-2023 08:12PM

Ederson should be off

McDermotX · 15-02-2023 08:12PM

Great mind games Ederson

Ya clown !

y0ssar1an22 · 15-02-2023 08:12PM

saka makes it 1-1

Kiith · 15-02-2023 08:12PM

No less then Arsenal deserve. City dicking about constantly.

ShamoBuc · 15-02-2023 08:12PM

Game on

Mushy · 15-02-2023 08:13PM

So the rule of 3rd player to the ref gets booked seems to be gone too.

sligeach · 15-02-2023 08:14PM

Nice of Ederson to point where Saka should put the finish.

~Rebel~ · 15-02-2023 08:14PM

Don't normally see those given as pens - usually once the player gets the shot on goal away, it seems not to matter if the player comes in super late. Which always seems dumb, as any late challenge that misses the ball should always be a foul, regardless of it being a shot rather than a pass. But it's maybe harsh enough to give it only once in a blue moon (pun unintended). IMO those should always be pens, instead of 5% of the time.

EltonJohn69 · 15-02-2023 08:14PM

If it’s a penalty, which it’s not, then it has to be a red

EltonJohn69 · 15-02-2023 08:15PM

Ref has been poor

Mr.Nice Guy · 15-02-2023 08:16PM

Shouldn't the ref issue a second yellow?

Mushy · 15-02-2023 08:16PM

Nice to see the team trying to actually play football get their reward

Ederson didn't stand his ground. That suggests that Nketiah ran into him. He didn't. Ederson came out and ran in Nketiah.

ctrl-alt-delete · 15-02-2023 08:17PM

Breaking News: Silva booked.

15-02-2023 08:17PM

He cleaned Nketiah out and didn't touch the ball, how is it not a penalty?!

Dr. Bre · 15-02-2023 08:18PM

Finally Silva booked

earthwormjack · 15-02-2023 08:18PM

That's a penalty all day for me. If the keeper comes rushing out, gets nowhere near the ball and barrels into the player it's a late challenge and a penalty. Keepers seem to get away with it constantly.

ShamoBuc · 15-02-2023 08:18PM

Silva gets booked eventually - no idea why Saka doesn't just run at him all the time.
