Yeah, any more force from Saka than what was there and he was in big trouble.

jacool · 03-09-2023 05:35PM

On Saka, he was being pushed by Dalot, hence yellow.

Antony and Havertz both asking to be booked, although neither could complain if they were actually hooked. Arsenal look to have more, but I don't know why they aren't pressing more. Casemiro is playing like an NFL QB, well, him and Onana.

Finally, these two could have their own competition for really dodgy away kits. Both hideous.

Think we get a better game if Arsenal can score first.

MisterAnarchy · 03-09-2023 05:48PM

Really poor game this, 2 average sides.

Utd jersey is revolting.

McDermotX · 03-09-2023 05:48PM

Pen for Arsenal

Standard modern peno. Minimal contact. Almost initiated by the attacker. Not enough from Wan-Bissaka

Overturned on review by Taylor to zero surprise

Fitz* · 03-09-2023 05:48PM

Man United are very very deep. It's like Mourinho or Conte has his finger prints on the team on how to set up. Very defensive.

doc_17 · 03-09-2023 05:49PM

I think that’s not a penalty. Should be overturned.

SlickRic · 03-09-2023 05:50PM

Soft.

But those are never overturned. That's incredible. New precedent set so, that won't be followed through next time.

doc_17 · 03-09-2023 05:51PM

Correct decision.

03-09-2023 05:52PM

How many that said rashfords penalty last week one wasn't will say similar here.

Wasn't clear and obvious error mind so should have stood going my what they have been doing

eigrod · 03-09-2023 05:52PM

Lol. That’s a disgrace. No other club would have that overturned.

facehugger99 · 03-09-2023 05:52PM

What a joke.

SlickRic · 03-09-2023 05:53PM

I've no issue with that not being a penalty. At all.

But that is not how referees have refereed penalty decisions up to now when there is even minimal contact.

I hope it is the new precedent.

But it won't be.

Fitz* · 03-09-2023 05:54PM

It wasn't a penalty for me.

Very similar to the ones Rashford gets. Already on the way down and looks for any sort of contact on the way down.

Havertz should've been booked by right but because there is a slight contact he gets away with it. Can a yellow card for diving be given by VAR? As VAR can only give red cards iirc?

DAngelo Bailey · 03-09-2023 05:55PM

VAR finally get one right that's never a penalty but the question has to be asked why is that overturned and the farce of Rashfords one vs Forest is not?

facehugger99 · 03-09-2023 05:56PM

Handballs, penalties, offsides, I’ve honestly no idea any more.

VAR has been an absolute curse on the game. It’s awful.

It wasn't a penalty.

But neither have others - namely the Rashford one last week. But they weren't re-refereed. They were just considered not an obvious enough error.

Why did they deal with this one differently?

UsBus · 03-09-2023 05:57PM

Bring on the fridge...should be fun

ShamoBuc · 03-09-2023 05:58PM

Maguire on.... big plus for Arsenal.

doc_17 · 03-09-2023 05:58PM

Maguire on the field 10 seconds and he’s fixed his hair 10 times…

ShamoBuc · 03-09-2023 05:59PM

Maguire gets Onana booked.......

AllGunsBlazing · 03-09-2023 06:00PM

Maguire nailed on to score the winner. But at which end?

facehugger99 · 03-09-2023 06:05PM

Even just on the basis of the socks, the Man Utd strip has to rank as one of the worst in the last 20 years of the Premier League.

davemckenna25 · 03-09-2023 06:06PM

Correct decision to overturn the penalty.

The big difference being that the attacker clearly makes the contact with the defender.

Great to see VAR used properly.

SuperTortoise · 03-09-2023 06:08PM

Where did that away kit come out of? thought i was watching newcastle there for a minute.

doc_17 · 03-09-2023 06:09PM

It wasn’t a penalty. But it sure looked like one in real time. I thought there was a directive issued that, if the player initiated the contact, like Havertz did there, then it should not be a penalty. But the big problem is that it’s not consistently applied.

McDermotX · 03-09-2023 06:10PM

Should have been ahead Arsenal. Nice move

UsBus · 03-09-2023 06:12PM

Maguire is box office comedy

McDermotX · 03-09-2023 06:18PM

Garnacho with the winner pending VAR

Big questions about Arsenal. Even this early.

Looks off on first replay. Confirmed.

SlickRic · 03-09-2023 06:19PM

One thing though.

I didn't have one doubt that he'd beat Ramsdale.

LuckyLloyd · 03-09-2023 06:19PM

LMAO

VAR really is epic sometimes
