No, it's because he moves too far forward to go around the cluster of players in front of him, then has to backtrack on the goal line and is horribly off balance.

Not debating if he was positioned well as it was taken, he’s been fouled regardless of starting position but yeah there isn’t much debating that Saliba fooled a few while pulling player and barging into the keeper at exactly the right moment
 
Wish we could do something with the ball good strike by Dorgu though, we see this a lot last season need to be killer with chances.

That's what I thought. Cliffy mentioned Arsenal having a booking and I couldn't for the life of me think who was booked.

Can you class the victim card as a booking? Only logical thinking an opposing fan can think of if they feel there should have been a booking for the team they're playing?

We're actually doing pretty well.

Poor from Cunha there, but didn't quite sit right for him.

Yeah, Saliba closed down the angles. We’re actually showing threat for a change though, which is wonderful to see. Another chance just then too with Mbeumo and Cunha.

**** me, I forgot how much Drury does my nut.

I just don't agree that it was a foul though. Clearly VAR, which is usually trigger happy, didn't either. Gary Neville who's a United fan hasn't said he thinks it's one. Let me know that they say at half time (I'll be having a quick dinner), but I can't imagine they'll think it's a foul either.

The argument seems to be that Arsenal do this all the time and nobody else can get away with it. So either Arsenal do it better, in which case good on them and other teams should catch up, or there's some sort of suggestion of a conspiracy, which is mental.

Same VAR didn’t reckon it was a handball by Bournemouth on Friday either. Trigger happy is not what anyone would describe VAR as, more inconsistent and terrible lol
