Disagree. The player reaction to refs is ridiculous and football is one of the only sports where this is deemed acceptable at almost all levels.

He didn't even necessarily get anything wrong. He played the advantage, we didn't take it. One of the clearest fouls you'll ever see from Sarr and then Bissouma goes ploughing in to complain despite there being multiple warnings to not backchat the refs this season.

As long as the refs stay consistent with this, I'll be happy.

This constant aggression and the time wasting are two of the things I'd love to see changed in the football culture.

White probably deserved a yellow for his challenge with stepping on the foot and the hand to the face. But he played advantage and then Spurs lost it and earned two clear yellows. Not the reffing disaster some have claimed.

Saka the "nice guy of football"....yeah right. He dives, complains non stop and that celebration shows he is a bit of a twat too imo.

Genuinely what was wrong or so twatty with the celebration? Can someone explain to me? Unless I missed part of it?

Fully deserved under the new laws. We’d be screaming at the ref if it was one of their players.
I don't have a problem with Bissouma getting booked for dissent. I have a problem with him watching Udogie get hit in the face four seconds before and straight ignoring it because it was one of our players.

Makes me think of Klopps Liverpool in their pomp.

They absolutely could play it through you with tiki-taka.

But if that wasn't working they were never afraid to play it down the line for Salah or Mane to run on to.

You've missed the whole idea then. He's never gonna compromise on the philosophy. Today's game isn't to be rated by a win or loss and mistakes, but by whether or not the boys stick to the ideas and keep trying to do what they're told. I'd you revert to pragmatism at the first sight of adversity, we'll never progress.
Agreed. I remember when Arsenal started playing out like this 4/5 years ago and there were plenty of mistakes, including against us.
