    You are saying that like he jumped him. They were practically glued together and he was tumbling on the ground. That type of stuff but less drastic happens after almost every corner kick.

    It's not harsh, it's a VERY harsh red.

    It's either a foul or you play an advantage, not both.

    Mike Dein is a poor official

    yeah got to say penalty and a red for me - but abysmal defending for both goals as well as stupid advantage.

    Also Gibbs was so weak for the second gaol. Zabaleta wanted it more and just ran through him.

    Spot on, mind boggling for that advantage.

    Dzeko would've had the ball if Koscielny hadn't rugby tackled him. Pen & red all day long.

    If we get an early 2nd half goal then a draw is still possible.

    Giroud is not the answer, we will do even worse with him. Podolski is one of our best players and is doing a good job deensively and Theo is using his pace to get the ball, although out wide. We are playing 4-4-1 when defending and 4-3-2 when attacking so Giroud would not be any better than Podolski overall.

    I think kosc was actually just trying to keep his arms either side of him, there fett tangle slightly and kosc grabs round his waste. I don't think it was the plan but more how they started to drop he ended up that way.

    Poor challenge from him, defo a penalty, not a red. Tevez had the goal scoring chance after. Kosc didn't stop the opportunity, he took out a player who wasn't going to get to the ball. If he did that to the side of the goal no-one would be asking for a red.

    Anyways, we can argue till we go blue in the face, let's just hope we don't get humiliated now.

    Top 4 can be out of sight by the end of this month.

    Not like that. Kos had both his arms wrapped around Dzeko and was pulling him down. It was idiotic.

    Like I said the red is debatable. But the 1st goal? FFS Dean

    Pff tackle my ass, he was falling down. They were practically glued together.

    Not a red. You see that type of stuff almost after every corner kick.

    Yea, if Giroud comes on and works like he did against Reading, we could come out of this with a respectable score line. Walcott needs to go out wide. I don't care if that pisses him off.

    The red card is very convenient though. Now some fans can blame our piss poor performance on being down to 10 men and ignore the fact our team just isn't good enough.

    Kos was falling, if you see the replay he tumbled on Dzeko's feet then held on to him.

    Penalty yes, but the red is very harsh.

    @gunner.b.alright

    I wish you had never taken me off it. Your incapable of forming logical opinion. Do not take part in any kind of sensible debate on any subject. Seem totally void of any knowledge of the english language and how to structure your sentences or replies and in general your opinion is "everything ****, rawr".

    What a tragic loss that i won't be able to entertain your boring drivel.

    I personally think we are more justified to moan about what happened for the first goal. He clearly played advantage and as soon they lost the ball, he blew his whistle when we were about to start a counter attack. Terrible.
