arsenal vs bayern munich, emirates, bst 17:45

Couldn't agree more.
Clumsy, uninspired performance in the second half.

Ozil needs to be dropped or really does need a kick up his.

oh well .. shit happens and what not

Someone should really take a look on this automatic red card rule.. Every rule should benefit the game in my opinion, and this totally destroys this game... a very good game up to the red card..

I agree. The rule is for a 'clear goal scoring opportunity'.

I get the impression it was initially brought in for the circumstance when a player is through on goal, and is deliberately brought down, particularly outside the box.

When it happens inside the box, it is a very big penalty for the foul (red card and penalty).

I can understand for a Luis Suarez style hand ball on the line (that should be red card and penalty), but for an accidental foul, red card and penalty is too big a punishment for the team.

Maybe the rule should have the word 'deliberate' in it like a penalty.

If it is deliberate, then it is fair.

High foot?

You could definitely argue that I think.

I disagree that when Ozil was fouled it was a red though, I think the other Bayern player might have blocked or tackled him had he gone on.

That's the one thing that angered me....a foot that high in the prem would go for a red...here nothing... I don't think it was red for the tackle on him..but the two should have been yellows on boateng should have been given... Last count I noticed he was on 6 without reply......
