It was a scratch but they’re acting as if he done his knee.
Traore has zero footballing IQ. No awareness of his surroundings when advancing the ball.

More to the point he was acting that way.

1-0 Merino. So lucky
Garbage goal to concede
Yeah very fluky goal but they all count, as they say.
If Nwaneri hadn’t come through when he did Arsenal would be outside the CL places by now. He’s their only spark.

Naughty Garnacho.
Arsenal are so brave doing this under the circumstances. Not everyone else can do this when all you to call upon is a starting XI of 10 senior internationals, and 6 more on the bench.
Before the goal commentary were talking about Arsenal lacking energy or drive during the first half but I think the same is also true of Fulham. They look perfectly happy to play a few neat passing triangles and go nowhere with the ball.
Smith-Rowe has made a few penetrating runs behind the defence and Fulham players have turned back to play safe passes instead.

Traore left Barca 10 years ago. Doubt he has improved since then.
Seen more passion and atmosphere during a Covid game. And that goal was so spawny it was unreal.
He is a promising bodybuilder 
He’s a good example of how important the physical side of the modern game is, as much as people like to deny it. If you are small you have to be exceptionally good to make it at the top end of the game. If you are quick and strong you can carve out a Premier League career for yourself even if you can barely kick a ball in a straight line.

I turned on Arsenal-Fulham over Forest-Man Utd because I expected a higher level of football. I don’t really know why I thought that. Neither side has any attacking quality.

Lots of people know the trivia question of who scored the first premier league goal. Very few remember that only about 2 minutes after Brian Deane scored that historic first, John Williams scored scored on his debut for Coventry. He’d only landed at Coventry because the season before he won the Rumbelows Sprint contest while playing for third tier Swansea city making him unofficially the fastest professional footballer in England. He was shit, but he got 2 seasons of top flight football out of it.
