I think Merlin read the forum at half time, he was a beast after the break.

How's that a dive?! The cunt turned his back and shouldered him

Because Gundogan was going down and just ran straight into the guy and initiated all of the contact. He was actually going to ground before the contact. Harsh yellow though.

They are almost always given as fouls anywhere else on the pitch. Not a penalty for me, but equally, it was never a dive

Jaysus does Raheem know how to pass. That’s twice in a row now.

[branny]

Ffs Sterling, two great positions you've managed to waste. Wake up.

[nottsblue]

We look better as a team with Bernardo in it.

[gmercer1]

This referee is a disgrace

Replay shows the twat turned his back and lead with his shoulder. What's Gundo supposed to do? Try and avoid him?

[bigblue]

No way was that a foul by Sergio just then. We've had to play against the ref and arse today

He's absolutely class.

[bigblue]

we're all over them this whole half

[iwasthere2012]

Much better second half.
We’re out work them as well as out playing them. Which is good to see.

[Beefymcfc]

Why is Mustafi getting a head massage mid-game?

[PeterParker]

I think he is still running since we played Scouse.

He does work his little bollocks off

They put so !uch effort in 1st half that they just ain't been able to match us up.

[Mase]

Again, their player just throws himself to the floor. If this is the way football is going it's embarrassing

[nottsblue]

Has Ederson made a save this half? Can’t recall an Arsenal shot this half

[Beefymcfc]

Get him wrapped up!

Welcome Jesus, would like to see a couple more but, if not, just work your arse off.

[blues2win]

Deserved ivation for Sergio. Jesus coming on.

[Mase]

Tell you who's class - Otter
