So sad.Emery never did this sort of thing - every sign we have a manager who is going to do a great job with this squad eventually
I am really worried about the fans. Start leaving soon as the equalizer went in.

Why are people not pointing out the fact that we cannot create proper chances for ****? All the hard work we put in yesterday was fruitless because of it.With Laca up front and Mustafi at the back, no we won't.
He will defenitely become mr.Gray very soon...Hopefully he wont find his hair in his hands
Please leave Laca and his silly histrionics out of the starting lineup
Incredible, how they kept on fouling our players. Jorginho should have been sent off before he scored.
just incredible!
Are you talking about when he was insisting the referee send of Jorginho and got booked? I mean that decision effectively cost us the game. We need more players pressuring the ref and also backing their colleagues when trouble kicks off. Sick of us being so passive.
Now, Giroud was the histrionics master. Constantly rolling on the floor and appealing to the ref, making himself unavailable to participate in about 5-10% of the game during this pantomime.
Proud as **** today, thought they played brilliantly for the first 60 mins and deserved to really win the game. Got caught by two sucker punches but it was the first time this season I thought we really dominated a team and played to the level I know these players are capable of.
If we play like this every game we'll shoot up the league table in very little time.
I look at that moment a bit differently.
If it wasn't for Laca going in full batshit crazy mode toward the ref, Jorginho would probably get his second yellow then. Check the recordings on how the ref is clearly irritated at Laca. This probably made him change his mind up.
His "crazy reaction and yelling" at the ref made him change the decision on carding, so Laca got one instead of Jorginho.
And how ironic it was then later on, when Laca clumsily pulled Jorginho for a needless foul, which resulted in Jorginho's equaliser.
I am all for our players being cynical and using any opportunity to sway the decisions going our way, but our players also need to be street-smart. Laca should've left the decision to the ref in that moment.
I am so tired of us getting the decisions going against us. It’s like a bad movie played over and over. In the end I think our players need to be more cynical and smart about what they are doing. Our cheating is often either too clear and/or clownish. This is where we can take a page out of Guardiola’s playbook. Hopefully Arteta can help a bit here also.From where I was looking the Laca 'foul' was a minor touch which Jorginho dramatically flipped over from. As for the non-red card, he should have sent him off regardless, sure book Laca if you feel he deserves it, but that's not going to 'change his mind' - the ref was awful the whole match - a complete joke.

I can assure you the ref got a loaf of stick yesterday...as soon as Dozi got his card that was it!
The way that loaf of stick gets given lacks clarity. Be proactive rather than reacting after the decision. Give the stick on fouls by the opposing team to get the referee to discipline them.
