Match Reaction vs Leicester (home).

[Özim]

There's a huge difference between being experienced at something and then being able to succinctly analyse it. Which is why 99% of pundits are full of shit and roll out tired out cliches. Players can tell us what it takes to be a player and their mindset but when it comes to taking apart a section of play, forget about it. They'd rather take the splinters up their arse sitting on the fence than offend anyone of note.

The ref levelled things up later when Drinkwater mistook Ramsey's leg for a football. But then again, I'm sure he didn't mean it, he's not that type of player, not a malicious bone in his body. So things levelled out there.

Not quite levelled out in terms of the sending off as there's happened early on in the 2nd half whereas the other one would have been much later but no matter.

Dixon's opinion was:

He sticks his foot into a tackle and misses the ball. Im afraid wether we are all Arsenal fans or not its a pen

He stuck his foot into a tackle and missed the ball the foot was there Vardy doesnt have to avoid it

That's his opinion and the guy knew how to defend and would know when it should or shouldn't be a penalty, the fact everyone other than Arsenal fans agreed tells you a lot, they have no reason to be anti-Arsenal.

As I said on the match thread, people on here are heavily biased with decisions, which is fine but don't then be surprised and call people names when they disagree.

Haha just enjoy the moment, there really is no point in following football if you can't.

We're top of the Top 4 mini-league. Big game players.

Wasn't the case at all. For the offside goal everyone said - offside. And people called the Vardy and Mahrez dives exactly as the replays showed. Doesn't matter what Dixon says because there's video footage that shows he's incorrect.

I don't think the sending off affected the match as much as some thing either. Leicester were already getting deeper and deeper and it looked like they were going to try and hang on for the 1-0. We'd have exerted pressure for most of the second half anyway and the way I saw the match going I expected us to win it even when we were the goal down. You can just tell. We were the better team and even though our passing was shite for large parts of the game we had more ambition today and we got stuck in well. Ramsey didn't abandon his post and Coquelin was a huge upgrade. Leicester couldn't shift the ball quickly through the middle and out to their front men, we closed that option off. Best team won it despite the ref giving Leicester a goal lead.

We're not going to agree on this but that's fine, the first was very harsh as Vardy did going into Monreal but Monreal did make a mistake, the 2nd however was just poor play and was a penalty IMO.

As for the sending off, Leicester had no outlet at all after it so I think it did change the match, they don't have a lot of possession in most games but losing the player up front meant they had even less and just meant we just had attack after attack and they had nothing to offer.

How did the 5 min demonstration go btw?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Yup, red cards change games. See Chelsea X 3.

[mastermind84]

Ramsey was excellent today in the middle but needs to find his shooting boots.

[Gooner23]

Having Coquelin back in there makes a huge difference
