Yamal should’ve taken it to the corner slightly earlier rather than take a shot in goal.

Glad he did though!

Just changed over after catching end of Partick Ayr game I didn’t know was on our TV here. Was aware of scores and joined at 2-2. As others have said what a match and so entertaining.

I’m sure Partick v Ayr was just as good? 😉

Honestly, it goes to show how poor we were this season watching that guff.

Both teams were really poor - not helped by the ref mind.

The difference in games was as expected huge. The pace and willingness to counter attack quickly was impressive. Here’s hoping that the entertaining attacking football played by these two teams and PSG (which has taken them far in Europe this season) starts to influence more coaches to ditch the boring, slow passy-passy football that prioritises possession rather than scoring and preventing goals. This is especially the case for teams in lower divisions whose players don’t have the same technical ability, creativity and skill as top teams. The trouble is that humans evolved to be risk averse. If football was more attacking and entertaining I would expect attendances to increase (provided this is not at a cost of poor defending and losing too many goals).

I`m guessing someone isn`t a fan of Arteta :D

The problem for Arsenal isn`t necessarily that they WANT to play that way, Arsenal`s passing it around the box trying to create an opening is usually the result of the opposition setting up in a low block, leaving little space in behind, meaning they have to work in the `half spaces`. It`s slow, dull, and difficult and makes for a difficult watch. And it gives the media their favoured `Arsenal always try to walk it in narrative`.

Arsenal would much rather play against Barcelona with that high line, leaving space in behind for Saka and Martinelli to exploit - which they are really good at...it`s just they never get the opportunity thanks to the low block/hit on the break tactics of they majority of teams they face in the Prem.

A huge mountain to climb for the old @rse this evening. Never say never, but PSG are an excellent side and I can`t see them failing in front of their own fans after winning in London.

Jammy deflection. Long way back but hopefully Arsenal do come back and we get another high scoring thriller.

What a farcical decision that was by VAR to award PSG a penalty. Apologists will point out that VAR get more decisions right than wrong. Hardly a compelling argument, is it? So they damn well should, with the benefit of viewing it from a variety of camera angles.

The ref didn`t give it. No PSG player claimed for it, but VAR put the ref under pressure to give it by asking him to view it on the monitor. VAR should only get involved when the ref has made "a clear and obvious error." The pen Inter was awarded on Tuesday evening was almost as bad.

Im not sure what was farcical about the penalty? 🤔 Lewis-Skellys hand is outstretched and the shot hits it changing its direction. It’s a clear penalty. Ref most likely missed it due to his positioning.

The fact that his arm wasn`t in an unnatural position...he was turning, when you turn your arm naturally comes out for stability. His arm wasn`t out to make himself bigger or to block the shot.

I`ve said this before, the handball rule is far too subjective. Id like to see an indirect free kick awarded for an accidental handball in the box, with penalties only given for egregious handballs like Suarez in 2010.

I`d take a cue from rugby and give a penalty goal for incidents like the Suarez one. No penalty required, it`s just a goal and the cheat gets sent off too.
