When did winning the ball become a foul?

 

I genuinely think there are people who would want a red for that because "studs showing" :D

So, so narrow. How are we so narrow and Watkins this isolated. Everything is far to compact. Spread out use the pitch. Far to easy for Arsenal to defend us.

Arsenal are the much better side.

They have kept the fans quiet as well as they have kept the ball.

The goal has come from the left which is a weak position for us at the moment.

Buendia was brought in the side to press, he hasn’t started pressing until we went a goal down. That’s poor from him..

This game is showing us where we are in terms of quality and consistency.

Offensively we have been poor, have we had an attempt on goal?

Our build up play has been poor, instead of Mings and Konsa playing the ball out, our midfielders are picking the ball out very deep. This is leaving a big gap between Watkins and the rest of our midfield.

Having said that, Watkins is not very good at holding up the ball and laying it off consistently and the ball gets caught between his feet when we break..

Don't see why people were booing again. We're playing the football Gerrard wants us to play but we don't have the players for it. We need new midfielders good enough to compete with this style of play.

Saka having a nice chatting with the smiling ref on the way down to the tunnel.

Wonder why.

He dived 14 times but only got 13 freekicks. He’s wondering what happened the other time!
