Can you explain how you tackle in the modern game if that was "horrific". Think it's lost nowadays that football is a contact sport

Was referring to the dive haha, didn't have a hope upfront without Studge

The whole of his weight went through the chap's standing leg. It was lucky the knee could bend otherwise... Leg breaker

Arsenal are a joke, the first half Anderlecht could/should have scored at least 3, getting in brilliant counter attacking positions where they have 2-3 attacks against 1-2 defenders and they just got the passes to play around the one player horribly wrong.
Our penalty.... I think it might have been a penalty anyway but Welbeck clear as day edged infront of the guy then basically tried to stop so the guy went through him. It was a half dive, or a full dive that may well have been a penalty anyway. On the replay you can see him slow and hang his leg backwards waiting for contact.
Sanchez just completely dived for the freekick that led to the second. This is a pretty poor team, our defence has been a complete and utter shambles and a better team would have killed us with the mistakes we've made, the way we've been caught on the break... so not much new there.
Defensively we're such a joke, Monreal, really, woeful player. But hey, with zero defensive cover it's great news that we loaned out Coquelin a couple days ago...........
He is a competent DM and you never know given a real run of games could turn out to be very useful. He's a pretty competent fullback on either side as well, I suspect he can't be any worse than Monreal and would likely be better than him at CB... so with zero cover and loads of injuries we loan out the last viable alternative we have. Wenger is ******* mental.

Definitely a pen. Their first goal was about 5 yards offside though, absurdly bad officiating.
