They’ve always been a feature of his game, but the Liverpool *scoop own goal and inexplicably picking the ball up last night does make you wonder where his heads at on occasion![]()
I heard he was moaning about that. It didn't even register with me that the incident had happened. I remember the goal kick on watching back, but at the time, Gabriel was merely taking a goal kick.
Though I didn't hear of him moaning about throw ins and free kicks not being taken from the correct place. Which are about as momentous as what he's moaning about.
“Other clubs never came into my thoughts once I knew Arsenal wanted to sign me.”
It is pretty pathetic and it would be a massive decision for a ref to give. No intent, no advantage, trivial, and potentially handing a match winning moment to the opponent. Like giving a second yellow for deliberate handball to a player who catches a ball above his head as it is heading out for a throw in.
Honestly, I think he was just trying to avoid talking about Saka.
