Soft but yeah its a foul. I don't love that this is a habit of Gabriels tho. When he feels someone behind him regardless of how weak/strong the contact is he tends to flail a bit and it has cost us in the past. These aren't always given, kinda in the line. Obviously I get the point that he wants to make sure the ref sees its a foul but when its not given its basically a free goal for the opponent
This was a goal, not a foul. You literally stated that Gabriel exaggerates to get the call. That is the definition of a Flop. Weâre playing basketball now in the Prem. Overproduction has ruined it. Watch the Spurs Liverpool push and then tell me why that wasnât given as a foul and the goal stoodâŚ
It's a soft one but if it's Gyokeres on Ban de ven Tottenham fans are screaming foul simply put the ref called the foul var weren't overturning it and if he didn't give it I don't think var overturns it either
Anywhere else on the pitch and refs waving Gabriel to get up. You are allowed contact thatâs also in the rules and it couldnât be any softer without touching him. Non of us would want that to be a foul
I don't think you are allowed to contest for the ball with 2 hands in the opponent's back. I originally thought it's soft, but logically, the defender has no chance with 2 hands in his back.
poor opinion. there's literally ZERO force by kolo muani. he's just making contact with both of his hands, gabriel should not be pushed over by this, it's theatrical as gabriel does not even leave the ground after the contact, he leaves it (he genuinely flies in the air) as soon as the ball's coming in.
also, you're using a still image to make your point (yes there are copyright issues but use 4-5 screenshots) but you won't as it would disprove your point.
please watch what arsenal do on corners, half of your set-piece goals would be disallowed if the ref started giving such fouls.
If Gabriel does that to Pedro next week, they wonât give it. Theyâll ring out the bs that Gabriel is âjust strongerâ than Pedro. You wonât see that given many more times this season, and every time it is a PGMOL apology will follow, I guarantee it
The only people saying this isn't a foul are people who don't or haven't played football, if someone shoved you when you are jumping it's a foul, they gave a free kick to spurs because trossard manoeuvred one of the spurs players under the ball whilst he was jumping, it's the same thing
Like he literally use both hands to nudge him in the bask jumping can but put off by the slightest push in the back itâs a foul simple stop blaming the Liverpool version on us đ
Is it soft, YES. Does gabi make a delicious meal out of it, YES. Is it a foul, YES. Are spurs fans crying and giving us even more ammo to laugh at them, YESđ
Yes, it was a foul. When a player pushes with 2 hands, it's not acceptable. Of course, Gabriel overreacted but unfortunately if a player doesn't make a meal of it, he'll never get a free kick. It was crucial as well because Gabriel was the last man in defence.
Itâs not 50/50 itâs a foul, and I keep the same standard of the Ekitike/Romero goal that was also a clear foul and injust it was wasnât given. General inconsistency doesnât invalidate an isolated incident
I don't hate Arsenal, but this was never a push, even though still photos makes it look more like it.
And compare this to what Arsenal have been doing at their set-pieces all season, it's not even close.
If this is a fouls, Arsenal should be down a significant amount of goals, and probably also at the table.
It's easy to push the agenda-card, but if the ref had seen this on a screen, that's exactly the type of diving they're trained not to reward.
Gabriel is backing into a player that's holding his position, and fights to keep his space. That's completely legal, even though the still photo always will look like two hands pushing.
You can also see the center of gravity in this photo, and the weight is NOT towards Gabriel, because he's already read the ball coming over him.
Gabriel knows he's f'ed, backs into arms, and throws himself towards the ground, but chooses to raise his feet as well.
It's so unnatural, it's actually weird VAR doesn't tell the ref he should see it for himself.
Most people would HATE on this if it was a striker trying to get a penalty!
People don't hate on Arsenal for being in the number one spot.
They "hate" on it because it's the worst football for a number one placed team ever, and the way they've bullied goals.
And when this happens as well – it's actually well deserved, and unfortunately that will be remembered.
I like how he explains it, but the discrepancies from game to game make the sport ridiculous. This happens all the time and happened last year in a NLD against Spurs. The goal stood and didn't count as a foul and it is a clear foul. This one is barely a touch on the back. If a foul was given everytime a player touched a player in the back with two hands the game wouldnt ever be finished because there would be more stoppage time than actual gameplay in normal time. This happens almost every game and it is never given or it is given as a yellow for simulation. The discrepancies between games and constant simulation are ruining the game.

Well said
He needs to stop playing mind games he did the same in the Newcastle game and cost us a goal nearly did the same today
Well said !
But it's ok to drag out of every person near you when you take a corner đ¤Łđ¤Ł
It's a soft one but if it's Gyokeres on Ban de ven Tottenham fans are screaming foul simply put the ref called the foul var weren't overturning it and if he didn't give it I don't think var overturns it either
At the end of the day it doesnât matter. Youâre going to bottle the title anyway đ

It doesnt matter it was foul 4.1 clear victory arsenal gets way more decisions against them i dont want to hear crap
Nah nah đ, he was still on the ground after contact was made, he then jumps as he dives forward, simulation at its best đ
Arsenal have done that to almost ever keeper in the league yet don't get disallowed goals for it, behave you lot
embarrassing
U guys flop and cry and it bit u in the wolves games
More to the point…. It wouldn't have mattered anyway as we would have still won the game and perhaps by a greater margin!
Gabriel shouldnât have taken the risk. Remember what happened against Newcastle. Itâs not always given as a foul
Gabriel himself said the goal should've stood đđ¤Łđ¤Ł
That was soft… Gabriel knew he was never getting to the ball.
Yes, itâs a foul. No matter how exaggerated the fall was, itâs still a foul
Itâs a foul end off

Itâs a foul, but Gabriel is strong enough to ignore it and win the header.
Clear Foul
Like the one Liverpool got against spurs⌠strange that
If Gabriel does that to Pedro next week, they wonât give it. Theyâll ring out the bs that Gabriel is âjust strongerâ than Pedro. You wonât see that given many more times this season, and every time it is a PGMOL apology will follow, I guarantee it
Big dive by Gabriel, very theatrical. Done the same when Muani was through on goal.
28 rounds, no pen against Arsenal, no red card against Arsenal, no single decision against Arsenal
The only people saying this isn't a foul are people who don't or haven't played football, if someone shoved you when you are jumping it's a foul, they gave a free kick to spurs because trossard manoeuvred one of the spurs players under the ball whilst he was jumping, it's the same thing
Great dive tbf.
U CANT even try and say THATS a foul bc thats never a foul bc against Liverpool van dijk pushed Romero 100x worse and the goal stood
Like he literally use both hands to nudge him in the bask jumping can but put off by the slightest push in the back itâs a foul simple stop blaming the Liverpool version on us đ
Is it soft, YES. Does gabi make a delicious meal out of it, YES. Is it a foul, YES. Are spurs fans crying and giving us even more ammo to laugh at them, YESđ

Curse Arsenal
Gabriels 2 handed push on Romero last season? When gabriel scored.
Letâs be honest that was definitely not a foul.We would be pissed if it was the other way round
Sorry but this needs to leave Gabrielâs game, didnât work out against Newcastle
If the ref gives a goal VAR wonât turn it over
Too risky just get the ball cleared
No such thing as a soft foul Rory, donât downgrade it. Itâs a foul simple as that.
Itâs not 50/50 itâs a foul, and I keep the same standard of the Ekitike/Romero goal that was also a clear foul and injust it was wasnât given. General inconsistency doesnât invalidate an isolated incident
Embarrassing from Gabriel. The guy jumps in the air like a seal! Karma won't be kind to cheaters.
If that's a foul, half of Arsenal's goals will not stand

Rory talks shite
Joelinton on Gabriel
Gabriel on Romero last year?
Soo bias
Soo bias
He didnt even push him lad just had 2 hands on his back
Gabriel always play soft in these kind of situations and at some point it costs us
The obsession rival fans have with arsenal at the moment is embarrassing. Living completely rent free
I called Joelinton's push on Gabriel a foul and this is definitely a foul
