Got a lot of sympathy with your view Soc. I can’t really work it out. Ultimately young managers unless they are humble enough to have someone very experienced alongside them tend to make all these sorts of mistakes. Arteta for all his likability, communication and Arsenal credentials comes across as very intense, stubborn, a little arrogant and obviously inexperienced. I’ll say what I’ve said all along, next season is what I’ll judge him on. Success would be top four or very near there. Two and a half seasons feels enough to at least steady the ship. And for an inexperienced manager in your first job you surely have to give them longer than you would normally.

Contrary to TGs nonsense about Martinelli he’s had far far fewer chances than Willian, has admittedly looked a bit up and down, but his ups eclipse anything Willian has done. Simple pass to Tierney on the edge of the box for him to do all the work and score included.

Martinelli is coming back from a serious knee injury that kept him on crutches for 6 months

How hard is it to understand that he’s not ready to do 90 minutes in a game like this.

The bias in commentary is awful.
Pépé clearly fouled by Soyuncu. Comms say of course Pépé will make the most of it, it’s ‘just’ a body check. Pépé just came up against a brick wall’

What channel are you on? I’m listening Martin Keown.

Luiz needs to spend the rest of the game running at Thomas. He has the beating of him.

You mean Pépé?

And another VAR wait.

Superb driving run by Willian that led to the situation.

Talksport
After Thomas finally got booked the commentator said ‘if anything he’s unlucky because he’s slipped’

I find so many co-commentators and pundits have their narrative set before the match or any incident.

Probably, I’d like to see what G7 said first though

He’s not getting 15 minutes let alone 90 you tube. How hard is that to understand. Disagree, fine, have a word with your b%*&s%*^.
