Another ridiculous VAR decision, that was a penalty for Pepe. The excuse will be it wasn't clear and obvious, because dangling your leg in the path of another player may or may not be a foul. Disgraceful.
@What4 That should have been a penalty in any rulebook, but became one of the worst VAR misses I've seen so far.. It was unfair to Pépé as he got locked in and tripped. He also in no way exaggerated the fall, where many players would have dived before contact and gone for the penalty directly.
@Fromhell- It highlights that there is always going to be a subjective element to whatever technology footbal brings in unless they limit the decisions which are reviewed to that which is objective (offside etc).
Guaranteed win for Sheffield United without Aubameyang, unless Lacazette can get out of his current goal-scoring drought. To be fair, he is much better at home. Some are even saying that the rubbish & woeful Giroud is better than him!
@Overmars- I think we'll have enough chances to win and Martinelli has been impressive, but I'm worried about Torreira's absence in midfield. He is a big part of why Sokratis and Luiz have looked better since Arteta took over- he provides that shielding that so many top teams have. Guendouzi is good at winning free kicks but is made of straw. I can see him being bullied by the Sheff Utd CMs in what I expect to be a physically tough game.
I'm all out of "sighs" for Arsenal. Fleck and Sheffield impressed again.
Hahahahaha another fail for flop Arteta coach :D
@stefanm A month into the job seems very early to be calling anyone a 'flop'. Especially considering their brutal form under Emery.
@Grumpkin69 this one will be worse than Unai~

I am tired Robbie
Typical Arsenal.

@Overmars Pepe needs to bang in a few. And people forget Giroud regularly had long periods where he was truly awful.
first win for Arsenal will be this one
