This Lyanco guy has been throwing his elbows around all game, punched Jesus in the back, now headbutted Nketiah and tried to grab his neck.... How is he not sent off:why:

This ref has been trying his hardest to help Soton

If I'm Arteta the front three is getting TORCHED in the dressing room. They offered NOTHING today. Jesus' old donkeyness rearing it's ugly head.

With a team like City in the mix you CANNOT drop points like this.

Nah Martinelli played well. This was on Jesus to finish his chances. Whole team sucked in the second half though.

Yup it’s games like these at the end of the season when you’re a point behind on the final day you say what if

Arteta is trying to be too clever playing Tomiyasu on the right instead of being pragmatic, he should go ask Pep how that works in the CL. Tomiyasu offers nothing going forward on the right which makes Martinelli ineffective as well.
The left*

I agree though. It was a "tactical" decision against Salah, but now it feels like something else. If Tierney isn't doing enough to start at LB then tell him that. Don't tell a player its a "tactical" decision and there's nothing he did wrong.
