I mean yeah Arteta obviously is in over his head, but who is really going to replace him? I suppose you can't do any worse, but I can only see someone like Roberto Martinez coming, and that'll produce nothing but apathy from the fans. It's a tire fire with the second worst owner in the league, attracting a good candidate is gonna be tough. Long, long way back to even being a top four contender, let alone challenging for any trophy but the FA Cup.

And hopefully Amazon does the right thing and categorizes All or Nothing correctly. Comedies, not documentaries please.

Conte would be the correct hire but he's lukewarm to it.

Can't help but have a laugh every time I remember they are filming an All or Nothing for Arsenal this season.

Will definitely have more "Nothing" but goddamn it will be hilarious.

Of course Conte would be fantastic, but with Kroenke and the board they have Conte will never get the backing he wants. I mean we laugh about Big Sam, but it's gonna end up being a manager closer to Big Sam then to a Conte.

Wow that is very harsh on the red, that did not seem deliberate at all.

It's the rules now, the hand bring in the spot blocked a goal. It's a reflex.

Yeah, the Penalty seems like the right call, but the red is harsh.

Chelsea need to calm down or they might be down to 9 quick here.

I think if the ref actually went to look at the replay and saw the ball off the knee he would have given a yellow.

He did go to the monitor. He initially didnt award anything, but after checking the monitor he awarded the Penalty and the Red.

Tuchel's Eminem impersonation is pretty good though.

Yeah you have to award the PK on that play, but to award the red when it was off his leg/chest first was ridiculously harsh.

It's the rules now I think either nothing or penalty + red. If it wasn't deliberate than it wouldn't be a penalty.

Frustrating game to watch, a real missed opportunity for Liverpool, but I cant have too many complaints.

Chelsea defended stoically, it was always going to be a challenge to pull a team with that much talent out of their box.

Some of the antics were annoying, but all in all just take the result and move on to the next one.

If not intentional you can be forgiven for forgetting about Martial.

I'm nearly sure you can't change squad numbers mid season.

Having said that the PL site has both him and Cavani down as #7?

Lol. Wtf?
If the penalty is the right call it is by default a red card.
