Its not a red because he only had eyes for the ball. He cleared the ball and kicked mount on the follow through.. Feel bad for mount though just when he was begining to make us forget about hazard.

This. It is unfortunate Mount was in the end of that but he sort of surprised Coquelin. You can't just look images of his twisted ankle. You are hanging him for a wrong crime.

That’s not the rule though is it?

the rule is serious foul play which is defined as ‘A tackle or challenge that endangers the safety of an opponent or uses excessive force or brutality must be sanctioned as serious foul play.’

 

that tackle endangered the safety of Mason significantly 

Great try.

You have watched football before. It would have been harsh to give that red.

So impressed with Tomori last couple of games. So solid and very good on the ball. 

Poor performance, flat, pedestrian and predictable in attack,

We are work in progress with a long injury list, nevertheless I am disappointed by our performance.

You seem to be one of the only ones on the minority that feels that isn’t a red card. Your justification was that it wasn’t intentional. I’ve just shown you the rules of the game and it’s a simple fact that it’s a red card. He’s endangered another player whether he meant to or not.

Get Batshuayi on. I feel like this is the kind of game he would score in. 

Think we may need a change up front to give them something else to think about

Cant watch the match but following the thread. Has Mount returned to the dugout, at least? 

Again Abraham was waiting but Azpilcueta cant get it through,

Why does Willian turn in to Bambi on ice when it comes time to deliver an end product?

Play it to f**king Pedro

Giroud has a great knack for scoring in Europe. Might be worth giving him a go.

Make some changes now. 

Come on Willian you have to play that out to your left...

Are you kidding? What are you wanting him to do from that position other than try and drill the ball across the six yard box? 

Unbelievable how Azpi can barely complete a cross despite having spent his whole career as a fullback.

Don't see him and didn't expect to, it was a bad one.

I want to see CP on here

Jorginho did well to win the ball. Willian messed up the last pass ...

drill the ball across the box, thats what he should of done.

 

Jorginho seems to win the ball back so much high up the pitch

You can see the ref eyeing that from very close. Look at what the situation is. Mount is very opporunistic going in there with the foot. Coquelin have made the choice much before. His intention is not to tackle Mount but to kick the ball. He has no idea Mount is there.

Will Giroud be our second sub? I was just able to start watching

Which he did and it was well defended by the centre half. Clutching at straws to criticise him for that.
