nice goal by Zaha

1 nil

A lot of opposition fans moan about how much the media love Frank Lampard. I think I know how they feel now because the media wankfest over Arteta is insane. It's going to be unbearable if they start the season on a good run.

I don't think even Lampard, Solskjaer or Arteta can complain about that, another type of coach in their place would have suffered serious criticism at their worst.

Arteta is starting, it is still early to assess what he can be, he managed to order the team and win two titles where he was not a favorite.
But it is one thing to play qualifiers or finals in speculation and another thing to achieve results in a demanding and long League and assume the role of favorite in most games.

The Arsenal squad is very limited, the problems are still there, the Europa League games will make a dent.
And when Auba is not there, the level drops immensely, they are still a long way from being able to dream of qualifying for the Champions.

And this is what they need.

That is never a red for KWP

[Vesper 27,310]

red card on Walker-Peters

[Vesper 27,310]

fat Moss is going to the monitor

[Special Juan 27,101]

Ruled out, just a yellow, that's the right decision.

[Vesper 27,310]

no way is that a red

[Vesper 27,310]

good call

[Vesper 27,310]

finally VAR is being used correctly

[Hutcho 8,443]

Great use of VAR. Jon Moss had a look realised he made a mistake and corrected it

[Vesper 27,310]

great save, wow, by Guaita

[Vesper 27,310]

it would be 1 1 if that was Kepa

Exactly. Finally these clowns are using the technology as it should've been used from the start.

No more VAR guy up in a booth always sticking with the on-pitch ref's initial decision. There will hopefully be a lot of stupid referee decisions overturned after they check the monitor this season.

Bats maybe coming on

[Special Juan 27,101]

Eze getting ready.
