That'll get disallowed for the push on Salah.

EDIT - glad I got that one wrong. Salah made a meal of it.

Regardless of how stupid Salah looked, it was a foul. It was a foul because he stopped Salah from making a fair challenge to win the ball.

We've all seen "stonewall" pens given for exactly the same.
 
For sure, I am sick of seeing Xhaka, Luiz, Willian, Lacazette, and to an extend Bellerin. It's time to move on. I have seen that picture, and know how it ends.

I don't get how they rejected a 20m offer for AMN, but still won't play him. Elneny has surprised me this season, so I would give him time, and I'd like to see Pepe get a 10 game run to either dig himself a hole, or thrive.

Mustafi, Ozil, are done too, and really not sure about Leno.

Auba has time, with the right formation around him.

On the plus side, I really like Gabriel, Tierney, and Partey. Give them a go with the Hale Enders, and let's see where it leads.

agree with all of that tbh, Pepe got to wait till his suspension finished mind

whats the deal with Saliba? 27m and Arteta has basically intimated he'll never pick him and hes likely off in January and permanently in the summer
 
We were dogshit from the 1st whistle, slow, lethargic, not even close to winning 2nd and 3rd balls.

Only positive for me was the performance of Curtis Jones. Classy.

Yes agree.
How hard does a push have to be to be a foul?
A push is a push.!
We were told to just shove the striker as he is jumping that unbalances them.
The ref had the perfect view so not good very inconsistent.

Re Pepe, yeah, I was looking forwards in general. He still needs to pay the price for being an idiot.

Saliba, no idea. He has the build, the athleticism, and given the price, I would like to see him play a bit before binning him off. Got to be better than Luiz, Mustafi, Socratis, and could easily be better than Chambers and Holding, although again, I think they are OK squad players, and may get better.

Is there not some undisclosed off field stuff with Saliba? Culminated with a red for the U21's?
Not 100% sure on that but sure I read it somewhere.

Just seems that Arteta has a line for the younger players and as soon as they get the wrong side of it thats it, whereas certain untouchables can do as they please and continue to be picked week after week

Expectation levels as low as they can be for Burnley at home says it all sadly

I disagree. Salah didn't have any intention to make a challenge to win the ball. If he had he would have made an attempt to jump. He was looking for contact to get the foul and I'm glad that it wasn't given. Maybe in the future he'll actually try to win the ball rather than trying to win a foul.

About to go and cook dinner. A nice meal, some red wine, and then who cares about the footy. Sadly, not me.

He had his eyes on the ball, if he'd have jumped when you're saying he should, he'd have missed the ball. It was very clever from the Fulham player, little push stopping him from jumping.

Even if he was looking for the foul, it was still a blatant push and a foul.

I'll leave it there because we both disagree

He pushed him - made a meal of it etc etc but he still pushed him which is a foul at the end of the day , he made contact using his hands to push him , may have been looking for the contact etc but the Fulham player complied. If that happens to someone in the penalty area then the ref gives a penalty. It’s a foul - however soft it may be

He’s probably the worst player currently playing in the prem for it.
Does it wk in wk out.

Not seen 99.9% of the Fulham game, but re Salah, him and sterling are 2 peas in a pod. Strong as an ox outside of the box. Jellyfish inside the box.
