Thing is, Ayew is on a yellow and he was wrestling with Saka earlier and could have easily received a second yellow.
Terrible second yellow
God thatâs a terrible yellow to have given.
Totally agree but he was stupid to get the first one. Save your yellow for when you might need to actually pull someone back. Not for delaying on a throw.
If I was a betting man Iâd put money on Coote evening this up by sending off Ayew
What is actually the permitted time allowed per throw in/goal kick before a player gets booked? Or does the ref just decide for himself based on crowd reactions etc. Obviously no player wants to be booked because you took a few seconds longer to take a throw, itâs ridiculous the amount of cards weâre seeing because of it.
Partey a very lucky boy.
Donât think thatâs too dissimilar to the 1 we saw on Szobo tbh.
Eze could have kept going there
Jammy Arsenal
No dive. No pen. Partey should have seen a yellow card.
Ref tonight has actually been far more lenient than refs in other games.
Trent got a yellow at 0-0 against Chelsea in the first half lol
Whatever the fuck the ref wants. Itâs also massively influenced by the refâs reading of the game. A team viewed to be trying to hold on will be treated more harshly so a team pushing for a win will be given more leeway to get their set up right. Itâs one of those things that looks like a common sense approach but is a blind spot. As we saw with with Trentâs yellow last week the call for him to get it in kind of came from no where
And that right there is precisely why contact is not automatically a foul.

Itâs just a load of bollocks tbh, would he have received that yellow if we were chasing the game for example? Complete load of tosh.

Our commentary raving about Nketiah being smart winning that free kick knowing there was no support.
That is âI dont think very clearlyâ for âthat was a diveâ

Seems to be 0 impetus from Palace to really try and put Arsenal under pressure

Where is Benteke when you need him.
Bit of a sitter that for Edouard, super ball in by Mitchell.
This Palace side seems rather average.
Pretty average the Palace side. Shouldnât be a problem. I think Anderson was impressive though.
Not been the slightest bit impressed with Arsenal so far.
