I think a big diff between Burnley this game and when they played us is Emri had the sense to know they'd park the bus so started the match with his playmaker, Ozil, on the pitch and they've an early goal because of it. We didnt and only just got away with it.
I didnt understand that from Poch.
Arsenal have had the luxury of knowing their Europa qualification was done practically after 3 games. We've had to really balance things with our tough schedule and games.

Poch prioritised that game midweek knowing that we have enough in the tank to beat Burnley, it was late but we should have scored early to be fair.

Also, he dropped Ozil looking for a response whereas we needed Eriksen fresh for the arsenal game.

Xhaka legitimately does at least three things worth a yellow in every single match. He's one of those players like Costa that is, for whatever reason, held to a different standard, by refs, to other players.

My pet theory is that if you're a really dirty player, like them, then you get more leeway because referees are loathe to send them off literally every game.
