What does Brentford being pretty good last season have to do with anything? They've been great since they came up - I don't rate them this year that's all.
They've comfortably beaten Burnley and Chelsea in last six games and also had a good win over West Ham. Form not as good as Man. United....but they've improved plenty since the poor opening few games. They are always a tough team for top 6-7 to play, I thought on the opening day they exposed a full strength Spurs line up on the counter that no one else has really done since.

Fair enough. They were pretty awful v us and they played us in the midst of a run where i'd have fancied us to be outplayed by Accrington Stanley.

Oh, Arteta. In one genius fell swoop, he's turned both of his previously capable keepers into bumbling error prone liabilities.

Think that late robbery at Old Trafford has galvanised them, won 3 of next 4 games.

Like 90% of the premier league they have plenty of injuries aswell currently, guys like Ghoddos, Onyeka and Yarmolyuk are not regular starters by a long way but they know the system so will do their best.

Brentford will miraculously win today, and in a month's time Arsenal will have a lowball offer for Toney accepted.

A player is on the pitch even if he’s over the line unless the ref waves him off so both of those players were on the pitch? It’s been used in off side decisions a few times
What’s the ruling?

That doesn't look offside at all....seems like completely arbitrary line drawing....

Keeper being beaten to a header by Tossard should be a sackable offence. Offside though so doesn't matter.

To be fair he barely gets there in front of the keeper and he was well offside from the lines. Might have made a difference

Surely they've drawn the lines wrong on Jesus. Or are they based on the location of the ball?

How do you know they accepted it was a goal :lol: ? Do you expect them to break into fist fights with the referee to signal their discontent?

Is it a case of how many of these decisions were accepted before VAR came in or are there so many more marginal calls to be made in today's game?

Wasnt marginal, it was well offside. Don’t look at Jesus feet but the ball

Yes to the second part.... but there was next to zero challenge over it is the actually answer. Enjoy your first game of football though.

You win some you lose some. Can't expect every tight offside decision to go your way.
Also Trossard has to be behind the ball not behind Jesus's body, maybe that's why you think it's tighter than it is.
