I definitely agree with Spurs fans that Romero is better than Saliba. They should target him.

whereas saliba is the best RCB in the world and i think at this point, there isn’t much debate on that point.

jokes aside, my actual opinion is that Romero is probably like a Koscielny-esque level where when you watch him week-in, week-out you appreciate him more, but he’s made enough gaffes in big situations opposing fans will never appreciate him.

suspect the PGMOL line is going to be that Trossard’s foul was the second yellow (ludicrous in that match) because Oliver blows the whistle late and Trossard has already started to boot the ball.

look the only way to convince a large chunk of the arsenal fan base that the PGMOL isn’t biased is by giving arsenal huge calls in each of the remaining 15 matches. I don’t believe there’s a conspiracy but sadly think this is the only course of action to make things right.

it’s legitimately funny that VAR basically skipped any real analysis of the foul on Gabriel then only showed a close-up angle (which more clearly shows Joelinton fouling) when determining whether there was a handball and no one brought up the foul thing again.
