Pongo Waring Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 Two fantastic performances by Carlos, he's only going to get better. I am surprised how rapid he his. Perfect for the high line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El-Reacho Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 It’s probably because he’s only made a few starts compared to Digne/Pau/Konsa, but he does seem the most nervous with high line. He’s always just half a yard closer to goal than the other three - just hope it doesn’t cost us. I’m sure after a few more starts he’ll be confident to step right up. Takes real conviction to play that line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arsenal are entitled loosers, watching Wright on MOTD with his head in his hands was hilarious, Jenas looked like he was going to piss himself laughing. He's supposed to be reasonable impartial, acts like a 5 year old kid who's dropped his ice cream. Blaming VAR as well, the ref made the call and VAR was asked to overturn it, just idiots , him and Mr extra salty Walkers Crisps. We're slowly becoming everyone's 2nd team.

Just managed to find another blurry video of the incident and I'm not seeing an elbow at all. Diego reaches out to feel for the attacker and brushes his shoulder/chest. Player then rolls around in a manner perfected at the arsenal training ground.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He definitely knows what he’s doing, but it wasn’t a nasty elbow - more a strong block with his arm. He got booked for it which was the right call IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 Aside from the mess up for the Bournemouth 1st goal I think he's been really good since he came into the team again. Gives us that physical presence we lost with Mings season ending injury and his passing is underrated imo, not as eye catching as what Pau can do but he can find our CMs no problem from edge of our own box. Only thing he needs to watch is attempting to block forward runs with his elbow. That's not a good idea at all and will be costly at some stage this season so he needs to just use his shoulder instead like other CBs do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
