    Gyokeres is a good outlet for Arsenal when they are under pressure, he is a unit.

    In real time without the benefit of 4 camera angles that was a hard call.

      Yeah, it was a touch and probably Gyokeres was perceived to exaggerate a bit ... decision could go either way in real time

    This is the 1st time i am seeing var overturn a clear penalty into a non penalty. Usually the other way around.. just get rid of var

    Just realized
    Roefs & Pope although slightly expensive make a great rotating pair .
    With one of them always at home each gameweek .

            I know goalkeeper transfers are usually frowned upon but
            Whichever keeper out of Roefs or Pope ends up in the team of the season at the end of this week I'm transferring in .
            My team is very settled so Verbruggen out (keeping Vicario for now)

    Arsenal are always robbed by incompetent var. I see penalties given by var for a slight foul on corners when ball is 10 meters away. Yet a 1 on 1, clear foul, clear contact yet not given.
