The quick kick was a bit enthusiastic from Pope, but for the corner he needed protection, you can't have them stick a big centre back on your keeper, you have to have a big defender of your own to clear their defender out.

No way we should have let Saliba mark Pope like that.

Fuck off. Cruel.

Great block Thiaw

Very kind of Arteta to signal the added time to spare the fourth official.

Bruno's having a great patch here.

Yep, it's red.

There's no way that's a natural position. We find out here what colour his shirt is?

Fucking hell

That was great TBH, he did win the ball...

Pope getting tricky now

No 😞

Absolutely no legitimate reason to come in and contact him after he'd already headed the ball, just dirty play that causes unnecessary injury.

Dodgy cunt Saliba

First thing we were all wondering

Ah yes, my mistake.

How is that not a foul by Calafiore?

Wonderful run Murphy and feed from Bruno, think Jacob ran out of legs for the shot.

Yes that was his best attacking contribution thus far.

I guess not being very good is still better than being suspended. He was terrible against Barca. Pope is having a legendary game.

If Thiaw moved for that he could have had an easy goal.

Doesn't look immediately like Howe has tweaked our formation at the break.

Even the biased commentators as soon as they saw that Pope got the ball acknowledged that it was not a penalty.

They're going to feel like right fucking tits when they watch the replay, not even the most red tinted glasses could find a foul there. I'll love it if they double down about it.
