    Look Arsenal played terrible today. Barely any shots on goal. There is nothing to be proud about it. They need to regroup and put in some goals in UCL. The two things I’m livid about are Bruno G. and Livramento not being sent off. The former being the biggest travesty of them all. I know I’m going to get a lot of flack for this, but the goal should stand. Both the ball being out and the offside were not definitive. As a team, you can’t let your sloppy play hang on a referee’s decision. It was a boneheaded punch out attempt by Raya and not closing out on the crosser is unacceptable. Arsenal did not play at a champions’ level and the refs let Newcastle get away with a lot, especially allowing Bruno to stay on the field.

      This is important. Why did we ball watch a ball that was not out (based on play on.) We turned off and let them create a situation that Var had to manage. if you’re only defense is Var, then your defense was poor.
