They never even discussed this

Ref blowing whistle as trossard leg is loaded to kick ball. Impossible to stop

They did, and he was able to run nearly 5 yards and welly the ball, he 100% knew what he was doing.

Man City v Arsenal | Was Leandro Trossard hard done by?

Mikel Arteta was unhappy with Leandro Trossard being shown a second yellow because he felt the time between the whistle being blown and him kicking the ball away was less than a second - find out how long it actually was.

This actually a pretty good start to the season for us. Away to City, Spurs and Villa plus home to Brighton is a pretty rough first 5 games.

He was an idiot (could have been a yellow for the foul), but the ref could have just blown for half time - I've see that a few time, blowing for half-time to defuse a situation, it was already over the allotted time. But can't complain at anything other than the inconsistency.

It's a great start, who wouldn't have taken unbeaten, let alone 3 wins from our start? Only Wolves would have been a presumed win. Brighton are no mugs (though we would like a win at home, and in light of how the game was going, it's 2 pts dropped). Villa and Spurs away you'd take a draw - so 4 points gained. Overall 2 pts up on expectations and 11pts this season vs 10pts last season against the same teams.

IMO...we just need to get by these next few games with no Odegaard and Merino finding a way to win, then hopefully Merino will be back playing for the Liverpool and Newcastle games (not convinced we'll see Odegaard before then).
