Where’s Chambers tonight? If you’re trying to develop a CB surely you give them a bit of consistency?

He's "ill", by which I mean he's getting a break

Considering there is only a handful of good ref's in the country I would take what they say with a pinch of salt..

That's nonsense just EPL hyperbole. But anyway, if these ref's are good at anything it's sitting behind a computer with their refereeing books and laws of the game manuals and analysing decisions based on the rules and on reflection they all say 100% yellow. Not that it matters.

At fault for the goal and then makes a stupid challenge to get sent off. He's caught Wengeritis already. No reversing it now.
How's he a BFG? He's not that big, he's standard size for a CB. And he's not German...

6^4 is big and he is greek

"Barely"... which means he was level. Therefore Mavro not the last man.

6^4 is standard CB size me thinks.

its above average, most are around 6^2
Lol no it's not
Glad he made this mistake now and not in a bigger game. Expectations might now be tempered for him. Think he will recover from this quite quickly.
Sell imo.

The red was harsh. He knew he made a mistake but did the right thing to take him down and not let him through on goal. Holding was covering. Don't blame him for the goal either as there were at least four Arsenal players who all cleared it crappily in that whole sequence.

Was bound to happen eventually, good thing it did now, when we don't play for anything anymore. Will give him something to ponder on until next season.

In Greece he would have got a yellow for that around 60% - 70% of the time and he probably thought it was worth a risk. Big lesson for him - Greek refs are exceptionally lenient and it is not uncommon for Greek teams in Europe to pick up reds easily because they have become too accustomed to the Greek reality.
He was too confident in a very vulnerable position. Doesn't matter how fast he is - can't recover from losing the ball face on in that position and he knew it.

Nope. Tactical foul is 1 game suspension.
Better to have him iron out mistakes like these in pointless games like this. He got overconfident and tried to play it between Iheanacho's legs. He won't try that **** again.
Fun while it lasted.
Best to sell now... Next CB up Sven.

Harsh to get red really. See you next season Marvs
We always seem to punished for tactical fouls, saw it with Xhaka last season.
He was a fair way from the goal, red seems harsh.

Harsh or not that give away was childish. What the AM rashly giveth, it rashly taketh away. Boy never stood a chance.
In a few days he went from our starting XI to being sold.
We hardly knew thee.

imo its a red card. If that happened to my team's striker I'd expect one tbh its so cynical. They should invent a new card in between yellow and red for challenges like these
