      Caicedo's challenge was vintage old school for sure…every PL player who played in the previous millennium saw that as a light challenge at most

      What does Arsenal need?
      1- change the jersey colour , purple is not for men
      2- sign men with beards like Gundogon, Gattuso or bald like Pepe , Vidal or players with a temp like Ibrahimovic or Cr7 or even Mitrovic.
      Why?
      Because no one fears cute kids!

      Martinelli challenge on Mitoma? Nobody talk about it?😂🤡. This the reason y ref don't give yellow card to Caicedo as redemption for him on previous challenge

    9. cassiels on

      Are they really promoting hitting heads with forearms and breaking bones? Clear red card for Martinelli, and his ankle would be fine.

      Can we appreciate that once when we have proper tackling and battling in the Prem it's caused by two South American players!!! 💪

      Fartinelli with his rogue face and rogue hairstyle thought he was being clever .. deserved a straight red .. Ref failed so Caicedo gave it back to that skinny rogue looking $cum and broke his leg .. that’s how teams should play .. like wolf packs

      Martinelli is my favourite Arsenal player when he does what hes good at. But he finally got his punishment for his dirty tackles. He shouldve got a red for his mitoma challenge.

    19. Omar1 on

      so the medical team that came afterwards came to help him put his shoes back on? but yeah 100% he should've stayed up and headed the ball he can do it with one leg no need for another.

      Martinelli did the same in another match and the guy got a concussion….Caceido did the right thing

      Arsenal always complains about how other team are playing rough, old style football, while they are trying to play a beautiful football. Yet, the fact is Arsenal is the 2nd most red carded team in the history of the PL.😂😂

    25. TurboT2 on

      Martinelli should have been ejected. Total intent to injure another player. He didn’t look at the ball nor attempt to play it. He could have seriously hurt Mitoma.

      Arsenal supporters start celebrating before they play city ,arsenal leading by eight points ,all we wanted was for arsenal to draw one game ,and the title would still be at city ,we know arsenal could not beat us at their home are at city ,three peat to the world ,COM ON CITY ,,

      Is it too much to have a voice of dissent in a room of blokes banging on about retributive violence in football? Who are the cowards?

      Edit: Wow. Reading the comments. It turns out that many of you are cowards.

      Ever since Jesus came back the team gotten worst City drop him and Zinchenko for reason Trossard is better player! They also need 2-3 defensive players besides Saliba! 2 midfield players Camavinga and Caicedo! 2 forward and attacking players Rafael and Dybala! They need to sell Zinchenko, Jesus, Gabriel the defensive and Mohammed! Also the 2 goal keepers Karl and Matt and buy Pickford! This will insure a title win 🏆

    36. Benjamin Dadzie on

      Is this world real? If this had been Xhaka, foolish ppl will definitely be saying awhole lot about him n even the club. It's against so ppl are happy about it…. Pathetic

      If football would allow a bit more intensity again, I would probably get all my memberships back on and Im surely not the only one… Boring it became indeed…
