In a letter to the independent commission, Rodri cited recent matches where he felt the decisions were wrong.
He wrote: "For eg, the bad foul by Diogo Dalot on Doku in our match at Manchester United which should have been a red card, and Semenyo's disallowed goal at Newcastle."

Hasselbaink recalls being spat on by fans after leaving a stadium and nobody helping him.
“It makes you feel worthless. It makes you feel like you’re a piece of shit."
Decades later, the cycle of racism continues.
“We keep on getting dragged back into it... It never ends.”

Tom Lockyer has a whole new perspective on football two years after his heart stopped for two minutes and 41 seconds.
"You were dead, what in football can bother you any more? You give the ball away – so what? You scored an own goal – it’s not the end of the world."
Lockyer's fiancé, Taylor, followed him in her car when he first went running after the cardiac arrest.
She was seven months pregnant with their daughter, Mila, when she watched him collapse on the pitch.
"She doesn’t really like coming to games now, which is understandable."

I think a lot of the criticism comes from jealousy
In the Premier League Arsenal are:
🔝 Joint top for avg goals scored: 2 per game
🔝 Top for touches in the opposition box: 999
🔴 2nd for possession won in final 3rd: 4.9pg
🔴 3rd for shots on target: 4.9pg
🧤 Top for goals conceded: 0.7pg
How much better can they play?

Yes and still grinding out results
Thanks Pedro 😂
But I don't think they're one of the team with the lowest ball-in-play time... they just score a lot of set-pieces
