I think the Nketiah challenge was a red, but obviously watching it multiple times in slow-mo makes it look worse than it actually was. There was no intent to harm Leicester's player, but it was high and studs were up. It was a mistimed challenge.
However, Leicester were in the ascendancy before Nketiah's sending off.
It's frustrating watching us drop off and defend with a lower block at the start of second halves.
We need to find ways of regaining control of matches and not inviting pressure.
Ultimately, our profligacy in front of goal cost us getting a win. One goal against this Leicester team was never going to be enough.

You sat back and invited pressure again.
I've said it before, Arteta is more a Simeone/Pulis style manager than Pep/Wenger.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
We don't have the players to control a game for 90
----------------------------------------------------------------------
There's not controlling then there's that.
Your approach away to Chelsea was the most diabolical example of anti football i've ever seen bar Jose at Barca 2010, and it wasn't that much better in Manchester!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
What about at home to Chelsea? Outplayed them first half, then ran out of puff. As castor is saying, we can't control full games yet.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Was that the game you couldn't/refused to touch the ball after Jorginho came on?
It's the MF. Once we can sort that out we will be much stronger
This Bazg guy is that 🔔 end “returning managers” back with his 100th account and cringeworthy comments
You should have won that game in the first half.
We indeed dropped 2 points today. Should have killed the game off in the first half. Too wasteful.
Wouldnt complain about Eddie's red card. But then Vardy should have gone in the first half after a foul on Mustafi. We dont seems to get these kind of decisions.

Explains the comments.
9 points behind 4th with 4 games to go. Unfortunately we’ve left it too late to get back into the race. I think finishing 6th is our best hope now as I expect united to win against villa to go 8 points above us.
If the premier league had 10 maybe even just 5 more games in addition to the 4 coming up we might have actually snatched a CL place with how we are playing
You were on a different level in the first half....missed many opportunities (Laca).
Score should've been 3-1 Arsenal
Different team effort in second half from the first. Surely the manager must have seen this? The broadcasters certainly did!
Vardy knew what he was doing imo, it was due to frustration as he was annoymous and purely frustrated for most of the first half. It was an unnatural movement and he’s connected with mustafi. Not saying he’s meant to hurt him but he was def getting frustrated
