Yes he dived, but Xhaka is clearly pulling his shirt in the box as Silva runs past him. Im confused why anyone doesnt think thats a foul and therefore a penalty. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No_Problemo Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 It is stupid from Xhaka, but contact does not make it a penalty. He decides to launch himself over, the split second pull of his shirt has no effect. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J_Stewart Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 Peak Arsenal of the last 15 or so years. Brilliant for 50 minutes and then just a total heads gone. Guaranteed producers of magnificent banter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DukDukGoose Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 Nonsense red card from Gabriel there. Total clown. Can see this finishing 3 or 4-1 now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do realise he's also taken his knee away from him - causing him to be unable to plant his foot and fall over - as well as pulling his shirt at the same time? I've yet to see a more blatant penalty this year tbh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He pulled his shirt, so its a foul. I agree its soft and Silva probably doesnt get anything if he doesnt dive. But its a clear foul imo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've yet to see a more blatant penalty this year tbh. It was so blatant that the ref didn't give and multiple people here don't think it was a pen. I think you are being a little hyperbolic. If the ref had given it fine. But he didn't. VAR should not have interfered with the game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoda Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 Arsenal have completely lost the head. You can't really blame the referee for that. It's probably a penalty too (and if it happened 50 yards further up the pitch it would be given as a foul). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
