Completely unacceptable from Gyokeres. So awful that I can?t really find the words.

[Herbert Augustus Chapman]

He does have one advantage over our other forwards. He manages to play an entire game without getting injured.

So you will be seeing plenty more of him

That's because it's so easy to get the ball off him that our opponent's defenders don't need to get too aggressive. They just gently interrupt whatever he's trying to do and he cedes possession without much fuss ( apart from falling over ).

He's being clever. As there is generally not team mate within 50 yards of him there is little point in getting injured trying to shield the ball. Much better to fall over, complain at the ref and get back up and wait for the next time the ball comes sailing up in your general direction with three defenders around you and no support......

I had to pause for breath there

I'd suggest that report is *******s. No way they make that decision right now. That's for the summer.

It may shock you to know this but not all football clubs are run like playthings for 8 year olds.

If that means anything at all, said meaning is lost on me.

I've seen no confirmation of a new contract. Just statements from both parties that it will be addressed in the summer.

Which is how professional organisations operate.

[PSRB]

He?s cost us points in so many important games and nearly did today.

I?ll support him while he wears an Arsenal shirt but he will DEFINITELY be sold in the summer. Nowhere near good enough.

Maybe they didn't view Pope bringing him down as a goalscoring opportunity because it was him?

It still was a , imo

Yellow for me. Heading away from goal, covering defender, lots to do. Too much doubt.

He was only heading away because Pope made sure he had to.

Well the ball was out near the line and he was chasing it.

There are four clauses they look at when considering a red for obvious goalscoring opportunity. I'd say this was doubtful on all four.

Proximity of defender, direction of play, distance from goal, likelihood of controlling it.

Which is exactly why the sending off of Saliba at Bournemouth last season, by var, was such a scandalous decision.
