Another depressing defeat for Arsenal.  On the weekend, I had predicted the score would be 3-0, but said that it would be to Arsenal.  

When I saw the team line up, with Xhaka playing, I said that we would be down to ten men but that we would win 3-2.  I was right in that he was the first man to be taken off, and David Luiz came on.  He gifted Sterling the first goal (you could argue that the rain played a part) with his attempt to clear the ball allowing The Team That Rhymes With City to score just before half time.  And he brought Mahrez down in the penalty area.  The foul started outside the box, but did not need to continue into it.  And while Mustafi might have been able to get back in time, it did not look likely.  Which meant that after coming on as a sub, he gave away a goal and a penalty and was sent off.  That is four penalties that he has given away, double that of the next closest contender, and no other player has made more errors in the Premier League leading to a goal in 2020.  What a record.     

Which meant I was right about then men as well.  And the picture for this post is for Sideshow Bob.  Assuming he ever puts on an Arsenal shirt again.
