For me:

Saka incident not a penalty - Neuer doesn't do anything wrong, Saka flings out a redundant leg deliberately to initiate contact. I love Saka but if I were an Arsenal fan I'd be fuming at him - as has been said, just round the keeper and score!

Kane elbow - red card, he 100% knew what he was doing. VAR should have seen it.

Gabriel penalty - yeah it's a penalty by the laws of the game. Arsenal have gotten away with one there.

It seems like the pemier league clubs have accepted a new profit and sustaInability rules.
Let's see if we can finally get to a situation where teams that actually bother to run as an even slightly well run business are not totally strawberry floated by clubs with what seems like unlimited money.

How has Van De Ven slipped over for our last 3 goals conceded :lol:

Also we've had 67% of the possession in the first half away and are two nil down :fp:

It's very weird. He's been fantastic all season but is now responsible for our last 4 goals conceded. Maybe he's placing bets on the games :shifty:

I think the last game I stopped watching was away against Newcastle.

Look at these stats. Away and to have this much possession and passes yet lose 4-0. Sums up a major lack of cutting edge today. Just didn't create anything.

Worst part is, Newcastle fully deserved the win, and it could/should have been more. SPurs looked absolutely clueless. I know it's early in the journey etc (/cliche) but days like today are tough to take.

Good news is we only have to wait 2 weeks until the North London Derby

Think Norwich have sown up the playoffs now. 6 points ahead with a superior goal difference over Hull (who do have a game in hand).

Had a very good second half against Preston who I would have thought would have been more attacking considering they needed to win today for any chance of the playoffs.

Yeah I think a big problem is that the formation and tactics is so high risk, often leaving only the two centre backs to clean up any attacks. It often works due to how good VDV, Romeo and Vicario usually are which is why we are currently 5th but on the wrong day it just falls apart.

It's absolutely crazy that Liverpool haven't scored in this match.

Think these past few games have been the long list of injuries this season and minutes because of that catching up to the Liverpool squad. Sluggishness in terms of movement of the ball is one thing but I struggle to see any other reason players have been misplacing easy passes and snatching at chances so much recently. On another, less tiring day, Liverpool win that 3-1 and we move on, but that's football.

All credit to Palace though, Glasner set them up well and they performed fantastically first half.
