His decision was poor, so he is the one to blame, leaving the ref judgement aside. Same as against West Brom: keep your hands at your back when using the body to block. and you'll be safe.
Bingo. Brainless Arsenal players can't get the basics right.
It's fair comment you can't get done if you put hand behind the back, also everyone knows hazards is the fastest slippery c*** in the league, crazy to not be ridiculously cautious with him in the box
Fair enough, but that is exactly why defender needs to make the decision, one way or another, and his call wasn't the right one. For a fact, there is a number of defenders who would deal with the situation in which he was in a better manner, that is the point.
It's really not that difficult. Don't have your hands out in front of you when closing down a cross and don't lunge in on players like Hazard. These are not part time footballers who have no time to learn these things. These kind of basic decisions should be automatic and drilled in to players.
