Arsenal down to 10 men, The Angel Gabriel has gone bad.

Can’t say I’ve seen him play much but judging by today’s game only he’s an absolute mong. Was giving silly passes away and now gets himself sent off. You know in this day and age an arm on the shoulder and a player’s going down.

Two stupid bookings. Kicked the ball away for no reason and then hauled Walcott back when there wasn't much of a threat. Silly.

He's been our best player this season, but I don't know what the hell happened yesterday. He was awful all game. Far too rash and overzealous, almost like he was trying too hard. Channelling his inner Mustafi, it seems.

I hope that's a once-off and doesn't knock his confidence. But I don't understand why no-one told him to be less aggressive after the 1st yellow.

8 red cards in a year of Arteta being here isn't excusable, tbh. 3 of those red cards in the last 4 games for petulance and stupidity.

He was knackered. There was a shot just after his first card and he was sweating like he was in a sauna.
He looked completely spent and it got him into trouble.

Arteta said he was about to take him off before he got the second yellow as well <laugh> wonderful timing.

It's just frustrating because he's been our only very good defender this season and now he's out for a game against a resurgent Everton. Yesterday was the first genuinely awful match he's had for us. Maybe it's down to fatigue, but the lack of leadership at the back wasn't helpful, either. Someone should have had a word with him to be calmer after the first yellow.

These red cards we're getting have all been totally avoidable and have potentially cost us getting more points.

You look better after going down to 10 men. They're doing you a favour.
 
See what I mean about the bit part players doing their bit in league winning teams

we need ours to turn up in the league fixtures too to help out

Teams X/Y/Z play each other in successive games.
X vs Y. Z vs Y. X vs Z.

Z comes out of those games with a pts/GD swing on Y of +5 / +8.
