It's funny how you skew things to your favour and even bring graphics to gather sympathy.

First, you are all wrong with all your assertions. If you want to be certain, watch that highlights with a neutral person and ask for views. You obviously did not watch the motion picture before bringing up still photography to describe live actions. Abeg go and watch the highlight. That's your assignment now.

1. The ball landed right in the middle of that box, it was a drop ball and not a diagonal pass.

2. Marc Roca (red marker) is the no 8 and not the black player you assumed. Roca is in the middle with Saliba where the ball dropped. He was the target.

3. The black player (green marker)is Sinisterra no23, he was not the target but was going for a possible rebound.

Saliba was in a good position to clear the ball so no need to commit a foul. However, he missed control of the ball that would have handed a clear scoring opportunity to Roca before he handled. Please note, he did not go handle deliberately but it happened.

Now listen, that penalty is not something to desire, but right now as I am typing, I will gladly accept that a penalty was given than for Roca to take a shot at Ramsdale. Results? No shot was taken, penalty missed, we won. Case closed.
Lol, So Roca was even the person Saliba have already handled sef? That Roca that Saliba had already dealt with is whom you're claiming had an open goal opportunity?

Tbh, anyone who watched that highlight will know that Saliba intended to guard that ball and Roca so that the either he clears it with his leg or wait for the onrushing Ramsdale to catch the ball but unfortunately it fell to his hands. Na only you see missed control sha.

Since you said the both penalties we conceded this season is a good decision, no problem, I leave you to your opinion.

Time have a way of always answering all these things— either sooner or later. Cheers!!

Saliba's case is not a good example because it was not deliberate and he was in a position to clear. But then he lost control of the ball. If that ball had not hit his hand it would have fallen for Roca who would take a clear shot at goal. Had Leeds scored, winning that match would be by grace. Because Leeds already had the momentum and they are at home.

So that handball incident and the missed penalty really favoured us.
Yea...

Martinelli and Zinchenko didn't train today.

I hope Nelson seizes this opportunity. To think I was expecting him to be our poster boy ahead of Saka then.

It was clear you didn't watch the highlight judging from your earlier narrative.

Now you are looking for who else didn't watch with you?

It is also obvious that you have not been reading my post. grin

Watch highlight and read post.

I have been saying it that Saliba's case is not even a good example of my point because it wasn't deliberate and he looked in control before the mistaken handball. What else do you interpret as missed control when his intentions were not achieved? You're good in written English so I don't know where your misunderstanding is coming from than that you just want to dodge being schooled. I don't take such pleasure if that's your problem.

I can't be repeating my self. Guy read post well.

I wouldn't conclude yet. Nketiah, Martinelli and Xhaka are some of the players who has undergone massive changes under Arteta.
I'll give till the end of this season.

Lol .. it seems you missed our genesis of this our talk. I called you out wanting to hear your opinion on whether Saliba was right not to engage Bamford when he made a mistake and Bamford ran free through on goal. And you answered the question satisfactorily but then started bringing example of how the penalty we conceded was a good decision and that Marc Roca was free etc

I don't understand why you said Saliba case is not a good example cos it was you who brought that up and that was what I was countering in you justifying that the penalty we conceded was not a bad idea. Simple!!

The bolded was the issue I had and countered which was what you raised
Spy360:
How na? You need to explain in details. I have told you the usual mantra coaches tell their defenders whenever they find themselves in such situations.

I have explained that a penalty call is better than a shot on open goal. This is because there is further room for that penalty to be missed. We saw an example against Leeds, if Saliba had not handled (though it was a mistake) Bamford would have had a clear shot on goal. The ensuring penalty was missed. That's why we won that game- knowing that we had already lost momentum and conceding again would have been very possible.

Like I said, the only risk is to get red carded but if the foul is a technical foul (just as on Sunday), then no red card would be issued.

I am still waiting for your elaborate explanation.
The bolded you said was why I said you were justifying PKs cos there's no need to say Marc Roca would have had a clear goalscoring opportunity if the ball hadn't hit Saliba hands cos even if it didn't, Saliba would have cleared it cos he still had it under control. The handball itself was a disadvantage to us and never any advantage and we were lucky that Bamford missed the resulting PK.

This is simple cos that was what I was countering since and even Mo.stob joined me in disagreeing with the bolded.

Kane isn't known as Kane-naldo and we know why. Infact, he was the only bright player ystdy aside Bentancur and LLoris.

I need them to go all the way. They usually have strong starts to the season but struggle to finish well, this was the case last season and I was frustrated because I followed almost all their games.

Yes they are known for initial gragra that's why I am angry with mediema
I feel she's not giving her all, but beating defending champion in their house 5-1 deserves some accolades
I actually thought we will pose the game

He is serious with the competition and I am happy. He is also using it to rotate and keep the players fit. Jesus and Nketiah together will be interesting

Jesus and Saka should not be starting this match . Arteta will soon jinx our perfect start to the season if either or both of them gets injured.

Everything wey dey sweet us go clear for our eyes that time .

What willmake both of them to get injured? Injury can happen even when players don't play. In fact no playing regularly is a risk for injuries
