City made Arsenal look like a bottom half of the table team

lol, VAR just picking and choosing when they want to show the offside from. when they did the lines, they conveniently didn't show the ball so you couldn't see it wasn't the same one they originally showed which was offside
gg arsenal, playing terrible again with Holding.

For your main takeaway after watching that 90 minutes is to moan about VAR decisions just speaks to your desperation. I, like most neutrals, would've liked to have seen Arsenal win this but they were bossed from start to finish by a superior team. Simple as that.

Why City are so good is another conversation and missing Saliba, while being a massive blow, doesn't hide from the overwhelming disparity in quality.

actually posted that at half time. like I said, we were playing terrible.
saliba allows us to play how we need to, how we've been winning games all season. there's been a LOT of thought from multiple sources how the Holding changes the way we play so I'm not gonna go into that.
The huge disparity is from the bench.

Ok, well, this is a more thoughtful and considered response and no one is going to argue that Saliba is a better option than Holding. However, I still think City have a far stronger first 11 which isn't a surprise. Despite all the 'they've bottled it' talk, I think Arsenal have done really well to be in contention for this long considering City's infinite resources.

Still, it should be noted that your original post was all about VAR with a tag at the end about Holding. I'm just sick of people bit?hing about VAR and refs when every team has to deal with it/them. Thus, every team has benefited and been fu?ked over by it/them.

Still, it should be noted that your original post was 95% about VAR with a tag at the end about Holding. I'm just sick of people bit?hing about VAR and refs when every team has to deal with it/them. Thus, every team has benefited and been fu?ked over by it/them.
