I know that was tongue in cheek but have you ever tried running or jumping with your arms tied to your sides. No, there is only one solution - amputation.

The penalty decision against Spurs just now was even more ridiculous (but very funny, obviously).

Also made me realise what a “squealer” Richarlison is

Thanks, I'm glad people are now checking the rules on the FA's website. Although for handball, I couldn't find the list of interpretations that the TV kept showing at the weekend. I have a feeling that they might be examples of what is a handball, but the rule says making the body unnaturally big. It doesn't say in an unnatural position.

The offside play is only penalised when they come involved in active play. So it's still a handball first. Although, I thought the old offside rule was better when you either were, or weren't offside.

This is an example of how they've tried to rewrite the law to cover different scenario's and screwed it all up.

Taking out interpretation and making hard and fast rules is harsh, but it's the only way to apply them. Refereeing decisions should be almost robotic.

Very unlucky not to get at least a point from the game. Iv criticised Townsend a lot over the last 2 years but he has been brilliant in the 3 games so far. I was very impressed with Eze Saturday, especially the fact that he didn’t forget his defensive duties.

For me one of the major reasons we are playing better is Kouyate at centre half. He has got to stay in that position. His pace is a major reason we are able to pitch up the pitch further and not get caught on the break and he has been immense.

Also I think Mr Ayew is on borrowed time as a starter. He works very hard as always but he needs to be swapped for a goal scorer for us to push on.

I agree with you on all but the final point. Our ability to play 442, even against (arguably) better teams is that Ayew works hard defensively and will drop in to make a 5-man midfield when necessary (he did this effectively on Saturday dropping in to mark Allan). I'm not sure Batshuayi is willing or able to offer that, although possibly Zaha could. One caveat on that is that unlike most of the team, Ayew did seem to look better in a more defensive 433. Despite our strong start our decision making around the 18-yard box is still not quite good enough yet. Once Wilf and Eze get some more games together though I think that will change.

He's still adjusting to the PL. He comes across as a bright lad and I'm confident he'll learn quickly and get better and better.
