ffs

Soz but deserved.

Come on Arsenal......

I give up. Utter joke. We’ve been on the receiving end of those tackles game in game out for years, he doesn’t go off his feet. Where is the consistency. Red card and 3 game ban for Aubameyang. Var has no need to get involved.

Seeing the challenge I don’t think we have too much to argue about with the red card.

What is questionable is why Aiyew hasn’t so much as got a yellow for all the fouls he’s committed.

Martinelli for Özil. Hopefully another livewire performance from him.

On video it looks very bad. Can't complain of the red card.

I can’t agree with that. VAR got it spot on, unfortunately

I think he was in mid air when he connected with Meyer's ankle. If that was against one of our players I'd be calling for a red.

Palace have successfully turned the game into a scrap, which obviously suits them more than it suits us.

We are a different outfit with Torreira on the pitch. Guendouzi is still a bit headless.

Definite red too imo. Missed Chelsea away now amongst others.

Bugger

Phew. Well done Sokratis. Bailed us out there.

Guendozi is indeed clueless on the field

Guendouzi needs better decision making. Really needs to be properly coached. Watch videos, training pitch, whatever.

Pépé needs to get his finger out

Why are Palace players surrounding the ref? He’s got goal line tech, the dumbness of footballers knows no bounds

What was Leno doing there?
We are in panic mode

It may leave gaps but we need a quick counter in possession. Building up from the back with 10 men is not going to work.

SO CLOSE!!

Aaaaaaahhhhh! Almost, almost, almost.

How lucky can they get?

We will see more of Martinelli in the next 3 games

How lucky have Palace been!? Ridiculous deflection for their goal now Pépé off the post and straight back to their gk as Lacazette waits for the tap in

That's a great save from Pépé's shot. Damn it.

Pépé needs to get his finger out

Luiz ffs!

The VAR referee was happy to let that go

That's an excellent conversion- oh wait, wrong game...

Ffs beaten by another ref...........

Eh? How do you work that out?

Pépé's bad decision making is frustrating. Maybe he's trying too hard to justify his fee and slow start. Needs to review some game film.

Good idea, what Mikel needs is experts like you on the coaching staff

Well done Kola, soak it to Ayew

good question, I was going to ask the same thing

Would we have scored if we had 11 men?

Well done Luiz

I don't know Nostradamus, what do you think?

The game hinged around his awful performance .

Dropped 2 points today .... should have gone for the second when we were well in control of the game

I hate games like that. The ref doesn’t stop us winning, But the sheer inconsistency is staggering.
AMN booked for first foul. Pépé booked for goodness knows what. Lacazette booked for a totting up process on his 3rd foul yet Ayew escaped a booking all game despite 7 fouls! No yellow for Zaha for a blatant dive in the box. The ref was so heavily influenced by the home crowd today.

It is so frustrating to see what little we have to do to get a yellow card and can yet be kicked from pillar to post, usually away from home, with nothing.

The Aubameyang red is annoying, I’ll happily accept it as a red if every other dangerous tackle is also a red, we’ve seen Pépé scissor tackled from behind on more than 1 occasion this season.

Var really doesn’t like us when we play palace. I think there have been 4 reviews in our two games against them with every review going palaces way

The game changed on Torreira's withdrawal, he was the one stopping Palace playing. As soon as he went off it all changed. The tenacity, sharpness and reading of the game he provides is was sorely missed.

Really disappointed with Pépé today, he has talented feet but boy does his game need some work.

We really needed to turn the 1st half domination into chances and we suffered the consequences of not doing that.
