Guy in green,, does he know football?? Or anybody can come on the panel??
Best rule is the forced minute off the pitch when injured. Anything to reduce simulation, dives, flopping.
My god, the tears from this guy. What did he think about Arsenal being bullied off the ball and in the air for about a decade under Wenger. Sure he was probably the first to say: "be stronger" . Hypocrites, the lot of them.
Arsenal were clever about their setpecies
So sick of the talking heads focused on what Arsenal did wrong….rules or not…all teams mess around on corners…give it a rest already…change the rules and enforce for all teams…
Hope the same rules that goes to Arsenal applies for Bruno and Chelsea
best decision would just be pause the clock when the ball is not in play
I see a lot of mentions of Arsenal in the comments…Arsenal were one of the faster playing teams with very little timewasting. The outlier is that Arsenal take longer on corners.
As far as Arsenal on corners…they are going to benefit Arsenal. Defenders wont be able to hokd Big Gabby anymore??? Look out.
Yeah the Champions league rules really held Arsenal back from going far…. These rules are going to help Arsenal wayyyyy more than they will hurt them.
The law did exist. The laws weren’t being applied consistently. Arsenal are the biggest floppers out there. They get touched and they go down like they’ve been shot
Green man: no one can convince me about Arsenal … so why are you on this set?
Arsenal still had the third most open play goals, and the ball was in play the 3rd most in Arsenal games last season. And in most (possibly none?) of the set piece goals they scored did the keeper get impeded like Raya got in the West Ham game.
Also I think all teams will concede more goals with the new set piece rules, most possibly more than Arsenal will.
Guy in green is a cry baby
West Ham's goal should NOT have stood…. There were 2 blatant fouls on Raya denying him making a fair catch… Man in GREEN is talking absolute nonsense… You can't prevent a goalie from raising his arms…. Even fair minded rival fans said it was a foul everyday of the week
Arsenal were literally named the past two seasons when rules were changed, something that to my recollection had never occurred before. Did those changes hinder them? Not in the slightest.
Arsenal are simply perceived as the best at manipulation of the rules without breaking them, something all clubs aim to do. There is no benefit from this, only the ability to do it better.
LOL – honest man
"I look within… Latin America… I've had it with floppers…"
Complete sour grapes from this guy in green. Cry more.
Players can’t hold Gabriel when he goes in for corners? 🤩 he’s about get golden boot
Americans and soccer 😂😂🤦🏿♂️
Ignorance is evident. Arsenal will adjust perfectly just like previous seasons.
7 points clear of 2nd place and still talking about the wasthum game🤦 which is a foul by attacking team on GK 🤔 LOL
VAR is brilliant when the decision goes your way, rubbish if it doesn't! Time wasting, clubs will keep finding new ways! Infantino gets cancer, has a long horrendous death, party!
So when Dorgu used his hands to score to take 3 points was the game just. To claim that Arsenal only won the league bcoz of Referee help is crazy.
So its an Arsenal agenda
Great, now the league will have to get creative in gifting the title to arsenal again 😂
dumbfuk commentary from this guy @6:30 Arsenal benefited from not following a non-existent non-rule? That's like saying they benefited from being allowed to head the ball. Why are they talking like holding and grabbing aren't already fouls called against every team? And a tougher enforcement goes both ways, defense and offense, so all the holding that the DEFENDERS do on corners are supposedly going to be cracked down on as well, which should help teams who are good at scoring set pieces like Arsenal. The irony is that Arsenal already benefited from the correct enforcement of the already existing rules with that crucial VAR decision in the West Ham game.
The minute rule is sooooo good. Either you are legit hurt and you need to anyway or you get the f up
Good luck Arsenal without the " dark arts " they'll have to rely on that absolutely putrid attack they had last season.
Raya, the defense, set pieces and the rivals who were absolute jokes won Arsenal the PL last season they were the most consistent side so kudos but let's see with the rule changes how your attack will pan out
So tired of flopping Arsenal
Errrhmmmm…. Bruno? 😂😂
RIP Arsenal Premier league hopes 2027
HW has stated many a time, he loves "gray" area involved in the law of the game
of course, as it allows for continued brown paper bags
anyone thinking the EPL aint corrupt, clueless! its been going on for generations!
and now American's are getting involved in the English game more n more, the corruption will become blatant asf
Arsenal fans can’t handle this post 😂
i'm shocked they still haven't fixed the absolutely hideous offside rule
Arsenal won within the laws of the game
if the rules were different, then Arsenal would have played differently – they wouldn't do the same thing over and over if it would be a foul (just like any other professional club would do)
0 ball IQ from the guy in green
he's moaning about arsenal holding and grabbing on corners and hpw the new rules will stop them, but none of the new rules are about holding and grabbing lol
Arsenal scored most of their corners because of fighting in the box. Get a grip
I tried…I try so hard to watch your coverage beyond the UCL and it’s brutal.
"Noone can convince me otherwise", is a nice soundbite but utterly wrongheaded.
you bloody fixed on Arsenal
Arsenal players where the most players pushed and heard back from moving inside the box this pundits don't know this new rule favours Arsenal from that aspect as it will either leads to free headers or penalties for them
Just make a deliberate handball in the box a penalty kick and everything else a free kick from outside the box
