Fine him two weeks wages for that act of petulance.
Yes we are losing and yes we have not played well at all, but for god's sake man, have some professionalism. That one moment of frustration means he will be banned for 3 games when we needed him available. Assuming we get through to the next round, which I think we still should do, we needed all our best players available because we could end up facing a strong side.
Instead we will be losing a massively important and influential player.
As for the game itself, I think the less said, the better. I can't find the words describe just how bad we are.
We had to witness our north London neighbours dismantle the team top of the Bundesliga and we can't create a single chance against BATE fking Borisov?
The state of this club I swear.
We are not just pathetic, we are an utter embarrassment to the footballing world.

Was it a lack of effort or just tactically poor?

Both.
Emery's starting formation was 3-4-3 but we've looked poor even when we've won games with that formation, so I don't know why he persisted with it again.
However, the players we had were more than good enough to beat that shower. Baring in mind we got 4 past them at their ground last year with a decrepit Arsene Wenger.
The players didn't do themselves any favours either though. No movement at all from anyone. No-one willing to take players on. No-one willing to drive at their defence. Lacazette and Aubameyang dropping too deep meaning we have no attacking threat.
We were passing it around with no purpose or intent. And even though we had 73% possession, they had the best chances.
So yeah, humiliating performance and result.

We’ve had a fair few Europa games the same, I think the players just find it hard to get motivated for it.

Ok I got it wrong, my bad. Although UEFA could extend the ban to more than 1 game. What was the need for the unnecessary dig?

To be fair you were misled by Lex in the game day thread. He's taken on Pete's persona recently.
