Vishnu Hunter-Raja

So in real time, I was like, oh, yeah, sure, he's taking him down.

And looking back at the replay of it, it's a really odd one because Mendes has his arm across Madueke first, and then obviously he hooks it.

And I think, you know, if that hook isn't there, he's essentially just barging down into the back of him and taking him over, isn't he?

But...

It's that hook, isn't it?

But then, on another angle, there's slight contact.

But it's also one of those ones where when you just go through a little checklist that I've gone through there, it's like, you can't argue it's clear and obvious.

I don't know that I would agree with that, actually.

We'll take it up with Rory.

I will do later.

It's a conversation neither of us will enjoy.

I think the lack of conviction is right.

It always strikes me, and I know he's taken penalties like this before, but particularly in a shootout, it strikes me as someone who hasn't made a decision and is going to make the decision in the moment based on what the goalkeeper does.

Safanov is a good penalty stopper.

He's not someone who's going to take that bait.

I can't believe Arteta hasn't banned them for the reason that you said about the marginal gains for that reason.

And I also think, I know it's highly, highly valued for a player to want to take a penalty in this situation.

And I also appreciate three of Arsenal's better penalty takers were off the pitch.

But Gabriel going last, I think, is a shame as well.

Because he hit that penalty like a clearance.
