A draw is fine.
Very stupid from Martinelli though, could have got a red, but I have to admit I was very pleased to see Slot react sensibly to this.
Agree Slot spoke well

Agree we are on our way we can do it . I think bit of respect for the champions. We gain a point and a clean sheet .
They have good players and some okay players but Slots plan to flood midfielder and stop space for Leo , by playing two right backs worked . And slot playing a false nine worked for them second half and wertz looked tricky

I agree we dominated 75% of first half and Trossard was good until he got booked
Second half they keep the ball but didn't have a shot in target

Yes, We can do it.
But we can also do without having off days in the biggest matches of the season.
Just needlessly giving oxygen to the chasing teams.
Seems we fans just need to suffer. Going to be a long season.

Iowa’s screaming so much at him to do something.. I think we are seeing the worst of him .. even though he adds something it’s far from enough.. I think we’d get more from Martinelli in that role .. he has the instincts and more pace. I think they look to be similar players and only one of those guys is getting of shots .

First 20 minutes was decent then we seem to have just dropped the tempo. Every player was taking an extra touch. When we play like that we find it hard to find space. As poor as he was I feel sorry for Gyökeres because he needs balls into space and he gets no space (and doesn’t seem to be able to find it either).
It does feel like a loss .. but we are 6 points ahead we are getting players back who are better than the ones we keep losing and we’ve lost of late and our rivals lol way worse than us and have tougher fixtures on horizon.
We can certainly do it.

What happened to the great tifo that was rumoured? I was anticipating something spectacular but all we seem to have got was the fans holding up red and white cards. That was a damp squib which seems to have foreshadowed the night’s game.
Imagine if they had Salah, Isak and Eketike, we'd have definitely lost this one. Not sure why the entire team were off it tonight, was it the rain? Even the subs were shite. Arteta looked very pissed ...
It worries me for all the reasons you’ve mentioned. Yet too many are excusing this away as “one of those games”. We’ve had too many of “those games”. What’s amazing is we’re still top, but City will have gained hope from that. Rather than turn the screw we seem to have lost the thread!
In retrospect he would have been a better option than Eze who sadly was largely anonymous when he came on.
Yeah I was calling for Eze already in first half.. for Zubi to add a tricky goalgetter .. his Cameo gave us nothing.. MLS as bad as he was defending Frimpong did more going forward..
Merino probably would have scored a brace yesterday..

How are we feeling after that demoralising defeat?
A little but calmer. We didn’t play well, at home against the champions. But we extended our lead. But what demoralisation there is in the fanbase is a much-needed remedy for any hubris that we’ve won the league already. A necessary corrective!
How are we feeling after that demoralising defeat?
I expect us to extend our points lead .. we are better than this.
Merino probably would have scored a brace yesterday..
Just to Clarity…
Unless you’re trolling.
Your take is super dumb.
MLS needs to go and play in the MLS.
Imagine if they had Salah, Isak and Eketike, we'd have definitely lost this one. Not sure why the entire team were off it tonight, was it the rain? Even the subs were shite. Arteta looked very pissed off. I though the first half was bad but we were even worse in the second. Subbing off our captain said it all really. Despite being 6 points clear I just can't see us winning the league.
If we can't control the game at home to a depleted Liverpool we are fucked
It could be worse, we could be not top of the table by 6 points.
If we can't control the game at home to a depleted Liverpool we are fucked
Jackson is like a coin toss. Great or poor. I’d take Doku or Semenya
Haha doku good one. He is shite
5 points!
And they only dropped 6, their last loss was in early December I think. But they had kev brown, gundogan, Kyle wanker, Alvarez then. Not sure their current team can do that sort of run, so ...
and kev brown was injured the entire first half of the season so came back well rested and fresh in January
Those kind of metrics don’t matter we spread goals .. Saka and Trossard and Lai capable
the only metric that matters in terms of offensive output is Goals For, of which we're second in the league... and very few teams in any league across Europe have more.
As long as we keep putting points on the board I don't a fuck who scores them.
I have PTSD from 2023/24 season when we ran rampant in the run-in, only dropping 4 points in the entire second half of the season and the cheaty cunts still managed to come from behind to beat us.

I have a vague thought of moving upstairs. My sister is in the upper tier right above us, must see if I can get our three tickets together up there somehow.

We didn't play forward at all. But the players in the attacking areas were just standing still so it's pretty much impossible. Timber was our best attacker and if your right back is your biggest threat you've got problems. Arteta must have been livid, probably got his light bulb out and kicked it up someones hole.
Burnley. I'm not impressed by scoring against them.
Both goals were really well taken - mostly because of the timing of his runs. I’ve watched him all season and he’s been woeful and lazy up until now…agreed.
I cannot wait for Havertz to return. I think Odegaard will start playing forward again then. Today he had some sort of mental block. Didn’t attempt anything and didn’t get the team going - which is the minimum I’d expect as Arsenal captain - if his own performance wasn’t going well - at least gee up everyone else! He didn’t.
Those kind of metrics don’t matter we spread goals .. Saka and Trossard and Lai capable
They’ve mattered every single other season though. Every single season.
Someone in every winning team has always put the ball in the net at a level consistent with the leagues other top scorers. Ie a top scorer, and often the golden boot.
Just checked with chat.
No team has EVER won the PL without a player in the top 10 scorers. Who do have who is going to jump up into that list? It’s not going to be a striker, nor a midfielder at thi...
Saka has been our top scorer the last 2 seasons and in the top 10.

He didn’t look garbage yesterday. Would have loved to see that movement and finishing from Gyokeres.
Burnley. I'm not impressed by scoring against them.
Sesko is garbage, but at least he makes runs in behind; that's basic stuff for a striker, not just standing there waiting for something to happen by being glued to the centre backs.

Every one is ,, you just don’t know it.

Exactly. I just wonder if it’s Arteta’s instructions, because surely Arteta is seeing what we are seeing. He keeps him on the pitch for almost 70mins so it can’t be going against what he wants. It seems so unnatural to stand still though as a striker.
Regarding Nico Jackson .. you lot would go mad he would have scored double figures for us by now and likely would have missed way Way way more.. I like
Him he is definitely capable of scoring 20goals in this league which Gyokeres and Sesko do not look capable of doing and he works his socks off as well but you lot would have hated him .. Learn to love Kai he has 20 goals in him .
This team does seem to have a bit of a mental block when it comes to Liverpool.
I hope we beat C115h at the Ethicsbad Arena.
You really want the aggregators to have this on me don’t you 😂 what can I say I like the effect dribblers have on a defense..
We should have got Leao ..
I’m not a Leao guy
I also wonder how long we can hold out, without actually playing our best football.

Anyway, a point is decent but we need to generally improve in this half of the season
He is scoring at Elite rate now but yeah I don’t think he looks good ..
That said I’m buying him for my fantasy team ..
At the start of the season Liverpool were winning by the skin of their teeth. Last minute stuff and I said to my Liverpool mate that you don’t win on luck for long.

I also wonder how long we can hold out, without actually playing our best football.
The game against Spurs really looked like we’d turned a corner and played with the handbrake off…now it’s like we are overthinking everything or players are being over cautious due to instructions given.
Playing with Gyokeres right now feels like playing with a player less. He’s not contributing at all. He’s not moving up front, he’s not holding up the ball, he’s not finding space to receive ball or drag defenders wide with him, he’s not even running to close players down when we are out of possession. I don’t get it.
There's no way man city go on a 15 game streak
Have you seen their defence?
Just going by past history. They are relentless in the last third of a season more often than not. They reeled us in from greater distance a few times, hence the ‘bottlers’ tag when really they were unstoppable and we tried our best.
Apparently first time for 16 years Liverpool got 0 shots on target
But they can blame not having Sala, Ekitike or Isak
Apparently first time for 16 years Liverpool got 0 shots on target
A team has never won the premier league without a player in the top 10 top scorers. We do need someone to start banging them in regular-like. Even super defensive Chelsea had Drogba who was an animal
Our problem is that results like this are exacerbated because when we play poorly we are shockingly awful to watch.
I just hope we can find some sort of up tempo rhythm and start to play a more consistent game where we not only control but entertain to some extent, we really can be drab and quite unpleasing on the eye.

One thing I'm worried about, but strangely hasn't impacted that much so far this season is our shit record against the top half teams. We lost and drew to Pool, drew to City, lost away to Villa, drew with Chelsea. Feels like we're a flat track bully at best. The united win at the start of the season definitely a good result but we got it by the skinnof our teeth and I'm worried now about their visit and the other home games vs these cunts
15W 4D 2L is a pretty decent sample size. Our standard is generally pretty high.

We’ve been winning on sub-par performances for much of the season. Either we improve, or that particular well runs dry also.
And then theres the constant threat of megacity who can go on a 15 match winning streak out of nowhere. We need way more distance.
Van Dijk is a cunt, there is no way he puts that out of play. Fucking sick of this conceited, horse faced fucking ageing ladyboy
(pictures Van Dijk with tits)
I'm blind! I'm blind!
On the law of averages alone the fact we’ve been second for three seasons suggests we should win the league, but not while we play at this standard.
where did you get your math degree
Well Theres a point. If the players who aren’t getting much time at the moment can carry us in the cups in the run-in, then they will have contributed plenty of we win the league
Yeah I mean we subbed of Sak . Ödegård and Trossard with 20min of game left .. They are helping.
"Rice stuck it to Van Dijk when he was moaning"
I was giggling like a little girl the entire time he was doing that... and it went on for some time.
Rice was having none of it. Absolutely loved that.

Alright I'm done. 21 games played and 6 points clear. Not too shabby. Disappointed today but not deflated. Still think we are doing this.

That was absolutely woeful. There's nothing to take from that.
Match Summary:
Game starts
We play okay, nor well, but okay for 20 minutes
Liverpool hit the bar
First half finishes
Second half start...
“Musical statues without the music”
It was a performance devoid of any creativity. Gyokeres doesn’t know what to do it seems - he was literally a statue bar one pass. Ødegaard way too many backwards bounce passes that didn’t move any Liverpool player. Loved that Rice stuck it to Van Dijk when he was moaning about us not playing the ball out. Loved that. We should have gone on from that but sadly only a few players looked really up for it.
MLS is 4th choice for me. Put Timber left back of Calafiori and Hincapie injured… White can go Right Back.
only 4? come on man, catch up
Normally about 2-3 a year is my number
Hit that in the last month
I agree, but isn’t Jesus like Eze in a forward position? The touch, the movement and shot.
Jesus can only shoot sometimes .. Eze has elite shooting like always needs volume and consistency ..
Yeah need to see Kai this weekend.
Anyone else glad of some cup games instead of league games?
Swear I've had 3-4 migraines from the stress of this title race
only 4? come on man, catch up
You kid but playing Eze closer to goal is probably what we should do.. when Kai comes back some players will see a lot of the bench..
Well Theres a point. If the players who aren’t getting much time at the moment can carry us in the cups in the run-in, then they will have contributed plenty of we win the league
Let's sign Amr Zaky and Michu whilst we're at it
Michael Ricketts!

Looooool oh brother. He is clunky as shit. He's got 70m to spurs and 4 league goals in his debut season written all over him

Was listening to Clive on that podcast and he made the point that we need to adjust how we see Gyokeres now. We thought we were getting a guy who would score 20+ goals and win us the league, but we do...
To be fair to Clive, the voice is no doubt smooth but he often makes insightful comments and I get the point. Gyökeres at least occupies defenders but his play is so so poor I did not expect that. No goals from open play in 11 now? Not good enough.
But I guess we have to persist.
Right enough ranting from me.
Will sleep now and cool down.
Six points clear.
TTD
Igor Thiago reminds me of mature Anelka the way he moves and his frame
Fucking looks older than current Anelka
Given that tradional strikers struggle in the league these days, i think the solution is to play three wingers ;)
Eze false 9!
Igor Thiago reminds me of mature Anelka the way he moves and his frame
That’s some serious needle in haystack stuff.
If you disregard the goals he scored yesterday he didn’t score any, equally stupid argument. Sesko has had a shit season.
Exactly and sesko wages and contracts demands meant and extra transfer fee.
It was neither sesko or Eze and vik. I prefer two good players to one good player . To have the best squad in the league .
Given that tradional strikers struggle in the league these days, i think the solution is to play three wingers ;)
Seeing Sesko’s goals yesterday you’d have to say we bought the wrong striker
You should have learned your lesson by now about banking on promo reels. Sesko isn't exactly lighting it up either, Vik still has more goals than him this season.
Drives me mad suggests he's getting involved. It's a step up from this tepid shit we're watching
Oh he'd be a menace. But he'd also convert on 1/30 chances.
Jackson is like a coin toss. Great or poor. I’d take Doku or Semenya
Doku fuck off
Jesus
oh fuck off with Nico Jackson- he'd drive you mad
Aye guaranteed coronary episode for citizenerased watching that lad stagger about missing sitters

Come on van dyke and konate won Liverpool the league just season . With Salah.
Odegaard passed square like ozil all game , not crossed for bik. In some way mature and in other ways not desperate to get caught on counter .attack.
Vik like others , should have gambled on balls across the six yards .
Don't hate me but I do like Nicolas Jackson.....

Of course Clive would say that. Doesn't wanna miss out on any cheeky club perks
Havertz found a way to be dangerous, it really didn’t look like he would come to anything either

Was listening to Clive on that podcast and he made the point that we need to adjust how we see Gyokeres now. We thought we were getting a guy who would score 20+ goals and win us the league, but we do seem to mostly win when he plays so he obviously does something.
Then again he does have that amazing velvety voice and I'd believe anything he says, so he could just be speaking fluent bullshit
Vik is shit, and the Portuguese league is about on par with our second division. We should have serious consideration about buying from that league again.
2 for 2 on not very good players.
Jesus Christ we still employ Fabio Vieira
Just frustration. Carthorse for his touch. Senile for the slowness of thought. He doesn’t press with enough aggression. Doesn’t make the moves across defenders. It’s like he has no idea. He looks out ...
Back to goal- he is really substandard quality. No touch at all. Hard to debate that.
Vik is shit, and the Portuguese league is about on par with our second division. We should have serious consideration about buying from that league again.

Trossard AND Saka were both very dangerous when we were on top in the first half. Then Liverpool worked out how to nullify them both.
I’m saying right now I’d pick Jesus over Gyökeres because it hurts my eyes to see such a cumbersome flat-footed striker. I’m gutted to say it because I had such high hopes for him. But it’s hurting to...
Senile carthorse top notch bants. Madueke our best attacking signing & he plays the same position as our best attacking player & corner taker.
Leo was fine. Not his best performance creatively but wasn't bad.
It wasn’t great but it wasn’t that bad either. Next
Pool and City have come here playing uncharacteristic low blocks.. Don’t fool yourselves.. we have arrived.. Now we need to win the trophies.
Agree. I have never seen City or Liverpool play that way.
Strikers market is shitty. Him or Sesko meal deal.
Seeing Sesko’s goals yesterday you’d have to say we bought the wrong striker
Don't hate me but I do like Nicolas Jackson.....
Trossard to me looked like a guy who knew he was overmatched 1v1 so he was very ineffective compared to his recent form.
Konate And Firmpomg both got in Leo space to stop him have space to shoot. To help Bradley
Firmpomg is a second right wing back . I think Slot would have planned for this to stop Leo gave a space to shot . Leo had to play with a bit of caution on a yellow . But it took three to keep him back imo

I’m saying right now I’d pick Jesus over Gyökeres because it hurts my eyes to see such a cumbersome flat-footed striker. I’m gutted to say it because I had such high hopes for him. But it’s hurting to...
I feel the same.
I wish he was a monster in the air, or a colossus with the ball at his feet, or had pace, or better control than Jesus… but he isn’t showing any of that.
He’s not even getting into the areas where the ball falls which is the minimum you'd think. At least be a fox.
So you admit he was at least the second most effective?
I mean sure but that's not really saying much. The point is he was not up to his usual standard of threat. I give credit to Bradley. He was in his face and quick/strong enough to deal with Trossard's trickery. He marked him extremely closely.
A senile carthorse fuck me 😂
I still remember when you called Havertz a stringbean dork, but this one wins
Just frustration. Carthorse for his touch. Senile for the slowness of thought. He doesn’t press with enough aggression. Doesn’t make the moves across defenders. It’s like he has no idea. He looks out of his depth. It makes me so sad.
You can't win every game, if we win 5 in a row and draw the 6th the rest of the season, we'll do ok
This
we should have won this, everything else is cope
Ay Liverpool are not very good this season and missing some key players. Some of the takes on them is just revisionist behaviour
Pool and City have come here playing uncharacteristic low blocks.. Don’t fool yourselves.. we have arrived.. Now we need to win the trophies.
How was Tross more effective than Saka?

Eze did nothing either which is disappointing. The money spent on Eze, Madueke and Gyökeres you’d expect a big jump in quality but we’re not seeing it yet.
I think it got to 90 minutes before I remembered he'd come on & thought "where is he?". Bit difficult being benched for weeks & then getting asked to come on & win it against the champions but has a tendency to coast through unnoticed.
You can't win every game, if we win 5 in a row and draw the 6th the rest of the season, we'll do ok
People here know I fucking love Trossard. He's set a very high bar this season and today wasn't it. Just the truth.
I'm not here to defend Viktor. We just don't have a striker savior right now. We need to play better as an attacking unit.
I’m saying right now I’d pick Jesus over Gyökeres because it hurts my eyes to see such a cumbersome flat-footed striker. I’m gutted to say it because I had such high hopes for him. But it’s hurting to show faith in someone who looks like a senile carthorse.
Eze did nothing either which is disappointing. The money spent on Eze, Madueke and Gyökeres you’d expect a big jump in quality but we’re not seeing it yet.
Madueke's job is to come on and solo create a clear goal scoring chance. Which it exactly what he did.
we should have won this, everything else is cope
I mean they used to beat us every game pretty much. Of course we’ve improved but to be the best you have to beat the rest, its 4-1 to them on points
In the first half, he was our most effective player.
Seriously, it's like you're going down the roster in and randomly picking names to say bad things about.
How was Tross more effective than Saka?
Trossard to me looked like a guy who knew he was overmatched 1v1 so he was very ineffective compared to his recent form.

Eze did nothing either which is disappointing. The money spent on Eze, Madueke and Gyökeres you’d expect a big jump in quality but we’re not seeing it yet.
Again, did Gyökeres even touch the ball? Tell me that Gyökeres was shit as well and I might think you’re being fair rather than biased. Jesus is limited but he can at least control a football.
I'm not here to defend Viktor. We just don't have a striker savior right now. We need to play better as an attacking unit.
Apparently first time since 2015 we've not conceded against Pool
heh... progress!
Regardless of their injuries I’ll say we have come some way if a draw against Pool upsets us this much … this is a good thing.
In fairness £60m don't get you much of a striker anymore. That's Solanke territory
Leo beat him several times and pulled the ball back in first half . Monstered is exaggerating
Trossard to me looked like a guy who knew he was overmatched 1v1 so he was very ineffective compared to his recent form.
I mean when you come on as a sub the limited mins comes with the territory. The reality is he had a handful of passages that he was involved in and performed poorly in all of them.
Fair enough. I wasn’t expecting much because we hadn’t created anything apart from half-crosses.
I still think he’s more potent than Gyok at the moment. MA has some work to do to crowbar him into this team because at the moment he’s pointless
Leo beat him several times and pulled the ball back in first half . Monstered is exaggerating
Also let’s see how he does with that (hopefully) crushed ankle

In what way? What did he do wrong?
Look I'm not into scapegoating players. He was just poor in all the passages he was involved in. I'm just saying everyone mugging of Gyok and saying play Jesus has to pump the breaks a bit. Same with Kai. They are all imperfect. It's about the total team play.
Anyone, yes, enough of this club for today.
Apparently first time since 2015 we've not conceded against Pool
Bradley is a good player and monstered Trossard out of the game pretty much. No surpise there was a lack of Rice corners
Leo beat him several times and pulled the ball back in first half . Monstered is exaggerating
Imprecise is definitely the word, Mikel.
It’s hard when both Rice and Ode have off days.
That’s me done. Just hope I don’t keep seeing the last gasp missed header when I shut my eyes tonight
He had what, 15 mins plus injury time?
I mean when you come on as a sub the limited mins comes with the territory. The reality is he had a handful of passages that he was involved in and performed poorly in all of them.
Jesus did more in 15 minutes than Gyökeres all game. Havertz looked to have bulked up in pre-season. I don’t want to rely on these two. I had so much hope for Gyökeres but it’s a real gutting realisat...
It's actually quite easy once you accept he's not good enough - I think you've got hope still but I fundamentally believe he will never be an adequate footballer for Arsenal Football Club, we fucked it but hopefully have a good enough squad to see us win a trophy or two still.
It was still more than Gyökeres whicj says so much about our attacking malaise
Unfortunately true. A hard hard watch...
6 points clear. This is not a catastrophe
He got skinned several times then was smart enough to stand off or go forward. In the left back position against Frimpong he was a lamb to the slaughter. Scary at times.
Twice . Firmpomg beat him did them. MLS was warmed up.
And he made a great forward run and pass , and We should have done better from that . Arteta should give him more time to help his form ,bright spark last season bosses it in Madrid . I hope he plays in FA cup.
They had no shots on goal all game
Blogs had a discussion the other day about the possibility of an Ethan loan but watching Myles today I'd say if anyone needs some game time it's probably him
He will get it .. we fucking know he is better than this .. but he has spent ages on the bench now.. not the easiest game to one on in
Jesus was absolutely shit today. He did it in his own Jesus way but he was equally ineffective.

Oh yeah completely agree re very competitive but there's no standout performers like City & Liverpool have been in recent years is what I mean. We've had the best defence in the league for a while...
Everyone else says that we are the standout performers. Especially before tonight.
We need Calafiori back and Havertz to come back strong. Done with Gyökeres though. Not sure you’re view but he looks sooo slow in mind and body. Awful touch as well.
I regressed after return from injury was starting to look really useful before his spell out so I’ll hold on tonthat and even today he added something in build up which is grabbing straws perhaps but gives me hope .. I think we are seeing the worst of him he will be better I promise that but he doesn’t seem to have the speed for this league and doesn’t get shots off .. I think he will improve the shots part and that part transfers between leagues.. So I’m not done with him .. But sadly this Gyokeres is what I feared before we bought him.
Don't get your hopes up with Kai pal. He's been out a year. Jesus' stint as savior lasted a week. We are good enough, just need to get better as a unit.
Jesus did more in 15 minutes than Gyökeres all game. Havertz looked to have bulked up in pre-season. I don’t want to rely on these two. I had so much hope for Gyökeres but it’s a real gutting realisation he is quite plainly flopping badly right now.
That was absolutely woeful. There's nothing to take from that.

Second half finishes
I've got nothing. Every pass was backwards or sideways. No-one moved, it was like watching musical statues with no music. Fucking awful.
I hope whoever was interviewed from our side after the game was apologetic for that performance.
Frimpong looks like Gervinho both in style and play. Zips past his marker with ease but after that goes a bit "what now?!?". A little more composure from him after he left defenders for dead and we ...
He was appalling with the final ball. Skinned us again and again and did bugger all with it, literally let us off the hook every time.
Bradley is a good player and monstered Trossard out of the game pretty much. No surpise there was a lack of Rice corners
I think the league is very competitive vs every team sucks. We are actually quite good. 2nd most goals scored and least conceded.
Oh yeah completely agree re very competitive but there's no standout performers like City & Liverpool have been in recent years is what I mean. We've had the best defence in the league for a while but attacking has remained the problem. Big part of that I think is slow buildup play with minimal risk-taking meaning every team can get 10 men behind the ball & then there's no space to work with. I appreciate that's modern possession based football but it's boring & frustrating af & I think puts too much pressure on Saka & Trossard to then produce some magic to unlock the defence (both of whom did only for no one to be attacking the crosses).
We’ve got Spurs away, Chelsea again, United, and City away. This is nowhere near over. We could have run away with it but that’s not gonna happen. This was a necessary reality check. We can win this b...
That's where my optimism comes from. CB injuries have derailed two title runs, and we've had both out injured already and are still 6 points up.
You would back him to make solid contact with that ball thats for sure
He wasn’t even marked. Literally the goal at his mercy and I think he panicked

We're only missing three (hopefully all is copacetic with Hincapié), including a cautiously managed Havertz.
Sorry guys but big Gabi had the game on a plate at the last moment. No idea how he missed that with his record.
I think Jesus behind him put him off. Would have been a steal. Shame.

Another difficult game out of the way at least.
115 have got anfield and old trafford in next few games
We’ve got Spurs away, Chelsea again, United, and City away. This is nowhere near over. We could have run away with it but that’s not gonna happen. This was a necessary reality check. We can win this but we need all our key players back.
Yeah there were some opportunities there. And it's not like Noni burst into some space suddenly, he held it longer and others had lots of time to make darting runs into far post but no one went for it...
And that one wasn’t even Gyoks fault as he was off the field
After all that spending on attack, it’s a bit disappointing how much we rely on Saka. Others have to step up
Sorry guys but big Gabi had the game on a plate at the last moment. No idea how he missed that with his record.
The most infuriating part of that game was a couple of times when the ball was fizzed beautifully through the six yard box and not one player attacked. Noni especially at the end.

While we weren't great, particularly in that second half, they were not great either. They had no shots on target the whole match and 0.37 xG. Granted they were missing Salah, Isak and Ekitike, but you can't expect our defense to do much better. The problem was attacking mid and forwards.
...and Martinelli has utterly stalled under Arteta. Those flashes rarely consolidate across multiple games... a menace when afforded space but far too one-dimensional when you need some offensive IQ.
We need Calafiori back and Havertz to come back strong. Done with Gyökeres though. Not sure you’re view but he looks sooo slow in mind and body. Awful touch as well.

Watching the Martinelli incident. He reacts to Slobby who is telling Connor Bradley to stay where he is.
Thats what triggers him. Not an excuse but still
MLS was fine , once we got warmed up and up to speed . Freezing storm and rain. Firmpomg is very fast , mls, was fine and got forward with the ball once he got going
I dunno
he became better when we started going forward.. needs to smarten up more against a guy like Frimping who is faster than him and most other players..
That’s how pool won every one else was injured.. we are doing this with the most injuries.. this one game should not define our season and it’s a draw against the champions we were better overall but ...

Gyok really has no clue when to attack the ball in the box.
Saw that clip of him standing for the Rice cross. 🤦♂️
That isn't to say that we've never played good attacking football under Arteta but you'd think there was some sort of roving invisible wall thwarting line-breaking passes at times.
The most infuriating part of that game was a couple of times when the ball was fizzed beautifully through the six yard box and not one player attacked. Noni especially at the end.
This. How are the forwards not making runs when they see the winger breaking towards the end line for a cross? It's basic play. Should be bread and butter for a Gyok type striker.
Looks like we gonna win it by default cos every team sucks. But I agree I really don't think we're a good attacking team in particular. Striker position as much of a question as ever. Gyokeres I made ...
I think the league is very competitive vs every team sucks. We are actually quite good. 2nd most goals scored and least conceded.
Agreed but how if Arteta doesn’t coach this? It looks like they lack any willingness to play through the middle and link both sides.
We have 4 of the 10 best wingers in the league. That's why we play that way.
You can only judge based on our last performance.
Personally I worry about City. They aren’t winning because Haaland is in a lean spell. That won’t last and I’d expect them to win 90% of their remaki...
City have got a disgusting set of away fixtures.

*he got warmed up
Hincape not much better . And he was also fine against him
Absolutely. But there's no reason to think we'll keep playing like that. And there few teams good enough to make us look like that.
You can only judge based on our last performance.
Personally I worry about City. They aren’t winning because Haaland is in a lean spell. That won’t last and I’d expect them to win 90% of their remaking games as they always do.
We haven’t really hit our top gear yet and while that continues it’s a legit worry.
Gyok really has no clue when to attack the ball in the box.
I mean he's trying to work towards that but injuries have hampered the development. We've got Tross/Gyok/Saka, Martinelli/Jesus combo, and today Madueke/Eze.
He's struggling, if so.
Agreed concerning MLS. Frimpong was targeting him and got a lot of change out of him, very disappointing second season for him so far. I'm just shocked at how leggy we seemed and how many duels they w...

Agreed
Maybe they used a lot up against Villa. That was a great performance
I'm gonna get hated for this but I firmly believe that game would've gone the same way if it wasn't for the set piece opener.
He also scooted back onto the field. Fuck him and his precious angle.
Lots of Liverpool players including Bradley went down to take the energy out of AFC momentum, then jumped back up in the first half , boy who cried wolf !
Not nice to see , although on the other hand I like martinelli 's will to win.
Bit of pushing not much to see
Liverpool have proven
They can draw against anyone.
Maybe they used a lot up against Villa. That was a great performance
That was pathetic. We don't deserve the title if we play like that
Looks like we gonna win it by default cos every team sucks. But I agree I really don't think we're a good attacking team in particular. Striker position as much of a question as ever. Gyokeres I made my mind up after Bournemouth will never be good enough & this match just further confirmed that (I'm not being negative & reactive, actually just watch him he just has a horrible touch & that will never be corrected age 27). He'll be a squad player this year & next & then leave for a bottom half team if that.
What I really fail to grasp is why there's zero attacking intent when Saka, Madueke, Martinelli & Trossard get to the byeline to cross it in as they did on various occasions. Where tf were the strikers or even Odegaard/Eze & rest of the midfield & the opposite wingers.

They're champs currently in 4th on a 12 game unbeaten streak.
We're better, and should beat them, especially with ACN. But it's not a mid table team we played.
I mean Sturridge on sky sports haha
Fucking hell the glazing of fucking Liverpool here is mental
They've just drawn 3 in a row

Second half was a defensive failure. We didn’t win second balls so couldn’t muster an attack..
Titles aren't deserved. They're won. And we're winning.

Arteta views his set-up like one big structural equation model. I think there's an assumption that if this can team can facilitate particular spaces for attacking players that the rest will sort itself out.
We need to start seeing superior offensive combinations and contingencies when certain things don't work.
In this game they were the better team, and should not have been at all.
This isn’t glazing it’s a straight comparison of two teams.
Also, they got better and we got worse.
Better in the 2nd half not the first
It was everyone sure but in tough moments I expect the midfield to exert some control and change the rhythm of the game and our mid did not do that.
Maybe our striker can bail us out in an odd game or two.
Good team have a bad day and draw against the reigning champions shocker. It’s not the end of the world this

No sugar coating or attacking fans for saying it. Our attack is not working.
We are still six points clear but we need to sort this attack out.

What? I will take a city points deduction if it means we win the title
Fucking hell the glazing of fucking Liverpool here is mental

Jeez, I didn't realize that 0-0 was a loss. Completely forgot.
We lose 1-1 and 0-0
Anyone else wish that instead of Heinze and his defensive wisdom, we had someone with legendary attacking wisdom to work on the attack? I feel MA has done an amazing job on the defence but doesn’t understand the final third as well, which is understandable for a holding mid.
Not knocking Heinze of course. Just wish it was Pirlo on the training ground lol
That was pathetic. We don't deserve the title if we play like that
We deserve the title if we win it...and yes, it was a bad performance today. But we are 6 points ahead at the top. Onwards and upwards.
We are definitely a passing team.. but played today like a team that has something to lose .. and well within ourselves.. I thought our first half was good ..
Think Arteta wanted to be conservative in the second half and not lose.
Think he could've brought the subs on earlier if his intent was to try and change things up and go for the win.
Meh game. Probably a "fair" result based on the balance of each team's performance.
Take the point and move forward...
This isn't the worst result, even if it wasn't the best. 🥴
Jeez, I didn't realize that 0-0 was a loss. Completely forgot.
We’re not a passing team, we’re a “moves”team, drills and moves. No interplay, not like PSG or Bayern. Liverpool just outpassed us.

That was pathetic. We don't deserve the title if we play like that
For fuck sake man
Deserves got nothing to do with it
Hope Hincapié is okay. Thank god there were no other injury scares for us.

Definitely true on Califiori. But we outdid them by some margin on final third passes and crosses. They were not much of a threat. They prepared very well to shut us down, and cut off our favourite moves.
Yeah we should hand it back if we win it currently on a 90 point pace .

It’s really crept in this falling and trying to halt play and expecting that games must stop or it’s not “sporting”. Not sporting is to fein an injury to gain unfair advantage

That statement means there are 5 passing teams in world football. Not gonna die on this hill but 99% of people would disagree.

Slot has clearly just decided to set up his team to be hard to beat the rest of the season
I hope he has to amputate
Idiotic is a big word.. cunt was off field and scooted in .. fuck him ..but not necessary let’s say that ..
Agreed. Tbh this kinda shit is what's wrong with the Premier League - just scoot over & let the game go on. Makes the product shitter, but of course everyone will say Martinelli in the wrong etc when the expectation should be the game should go on as much as possible.
I agree. It was hotheaded because of their gamesmanship but Neville making out it was a red is what was idiotic.
Neville's a cunt. Wanting a Liverpool player to whack him. Melodramatic ballbag
No, you don’t try to roll off a player who leaves on a stretcher. He clearly didnt believe he was injured as he threw the ball at him beforehand, but you can’t do what he did, and not at this club.
...
To be fair that is not his nature typically. He clearly was not aware he was seriously injured. But he'll see the replays and feel like a right dickhead tonight.
Idiotic is a big word.. cunt was off field and scooted in .. fuck him ..but not necessary let’s say that ..
I agree. It was hotheaded because of their gamesmanship but Neville making out it was a red is what was idiotic.
You’re being fucking ridiculous
He did move himself to ensure he was on the pitch to delay the restart. He might also be injured but it's clear as day what he was doing.
He also scooted back onto the field. Fuck him and his precious angle.
Yeah I saw that! When it's for returning to the field he seemed well capable of moving a bit. Bullshit drama about Martinelli, don't fqll for it lads
Why do we not work on players attacking the six yd box. There were several chances that just went begging
Rice was not good. A lot of world class conversations all week but he did not look like it today.
But it was everyone. Everyone was anticipating runs that weren't happening, or missing runs that did. I don't put it on any single player.
🙁 seems to be the common opinion. How can he not get a single goal? Even Sesko scored. .
Back to the drawing board, Berta. A better striker in the summer.
We are definitely a passing team.. but played today like a team that has something to lose .. and well within ourselves.. I thought our first half was good ..

Saka tries to do it all himself. Trossard too. Ødegaard looks for final balls. They don’t link up and they don’t improvise.
This is a very strong team, but I think we miss Calafiori so much. Hincapié was ok but MLS was terrible when he came on
He was clearly seriously injured. It was fucking idiotic
Idiotic is a big word.. cunt was off field and scooted in .. fuck him ..but not necessary let’s say that ..
I don't know man, a twisted ankle doesn't stop you from scooting for one half scoot.
You’re being fucking ridiculous
The fact that they got the stretcher out for a twisted ankle is pure pantomime shit. Come on!
Nah he looked like he did his ACL
Rice was quite poor... couldn't get a foot on the ball and passing was shite
He was still probably our best player over the distance. Mopped up at the back many times after they’d breached us.
A lot of us being bad was them pinning us in our own half and turning the ball over every single time we retrieved it. We could not deal with their press.
Yeah they pushed up very high and there wasn't enough movement to play through it
I don't know man, a twisted ankle doesn't stop you from scooting for one half scoot.
He also scooted back onto the field. Fuck him and his precious angle.

Needs to grow up or match his hot head with some uptick in performances
A lot of us being bad was them pinning us in our own half and turning the ball over every single time we retrieved it. We could not deal with their press.
We had 4 shots on goal? And a fair number of dangerous crosses.
I've rarely seen us look this out of sync, where players are just not on the same page going forward.
4 shots on goal in a fairly low figure... and none of those shots were tantamount to clear cut chances.
🙁 seems to be the common opinion. How can he not get a single goal? Even Sesko scored. .
A draw against a decent team. Not the end of the world. But need to play much better than this going forward
Rice was quite poor... couldn't get a foot on the ball and passing was shite
I don't think he did anything wrong. That cunt Bradely was a scoot away from being off the pitch and was clearly wasting time. Anthony Taylor a big cunt.
He was clearly seriously injured. It was fucking idiotic
We are definitely a passing team.. but played today like a team that has something to lose .. and well within ourselves.. I thought our first half was good ..
That is spot on... apart from the first half being good. Was middling.
We’re not a passing team. Some of our approach play was atrocious. Gyökeres has a part to play. But also the wingers and Ødegaard who was everywhere but in the danger areas. One shot on goal. Awful!

I'm disappointed but that is a totally different thing from being deflated. We looked void of ideas in the second half but we didn't look vulnerable or nervy really.
Strange and not very efficient tactical tweak with Saliba pushing up inside right
Yes, let’s not do that again. Let’s get Timber on the overlap like the good old days
Gyok was anonymous. It’s sad right now. There’s talent in this squad but it needs to click. Right now, it’s tough going, heh, we’re a team in transition 😉
How was Gyok? Is he a complete lost cause
Yes
Nervous performance, but not laying a glove on a depleted Liverpool side is poor. Martinelli making a cunt of himself wasn’t great either

Four points separate 5th from 14th lol
Strange and not very efficient tactical tweak with Saliba pushing up inside right
Madueke looked pretty decent. Aside from the poor sportsmanship, Martinelli looked a little more dangerous. Gyok was terrible. Jesus didn't really seem much better. Havertz certainly needs a chance when he can come back.
It's his first season in the PL.
Chill the fuck out.
He's 27. He's shown absolutely nothing to suggest he's our future up top.
Having said that, Liverpool definitely exposed the lack of quality in the front line. Needs attention next summer.
This is strawman shit.
No-one is saying the team is dogshit. It's the performance that is.
Backarse a little. It's not strawman.
It's not about the result alone. We got bossed by pool, especially the second half and we couldnt get anywhere near them...at home.

Yeah it was against the champions, but it was still very poor and not for the first time.
Everyone's disappointed. Not everyone decides that the team plus several individual players are dogshit.
This is strawman shit.
No-one is saying the team is dogshit. It's the performance that is.
Every time he was on the ball..
Pointless. Should be sold at the earliest convenience.
It's his first season in the PL.
Chill the fuck out.
How was the 1st half lads? It seems like it was a bit better from us then 2nd according to the commentator on my stream but I'm really surprised at how weak we looked.
First half was ok.
Talk all week was how we had the perfect midfield... well they shit the bed today. Could not get a foothold in the second half. McAllister waltzing through like he's Messi.
Was actually good today when involved
When was that
How was Gyok? Is he a complete lost cause

In form, at home to a depleted Liverpool, a big chance to go 8 points clear... people have every fucking right to be disappointed.
Disappointed yes, absolutely, and yes missed out on a statement win, but jeez, 17 games to go; most of the hardest away games done, 6 points clear. I know which team I’d most rather be cheering on at this moment

Jesus was dogshit, Kai is the next savior
I'm giving up on strikers.
At least it was a draw. Dose of reality. That was poor again from an attacking point of view. We got a bit lucky. I think it’s time for Jesus to start.
Vik was awful.
Jesus was dogshit, Kai is the next savior
Kai is easily or starter
I regret missing a night's sleep for this but what can you do?
Night all
At least I got the 0 right
Heh
At least it was a draw. Dose of reality. That was poor again from an attacking point of view. We got a bit lucky. I think it’s time for Jesus to start.
Liverpool apparently should be delighted to draw 3 in a row.
Fuck off sturridge
Yeah, cos every champion wins 38 games a season. Fucking get a grip.
It's not about the result alone. We got bossed by pool, especially the second half and we couldnt get anywhere near them...at home.
We look so disjointed on occasions, can we please have a plan B that is not the same as plan A but with different players.
LOL he killed Kerkez first half …
In form, at home to a depleted Liverpool, a big chance to go 8 points clear... people have every fucking right to be disappointed.
This. It was awful.

They did an exceptional job of suffocating the life from the game but we were absolutely pitiful in the face of their sterile possession.
There was 25 mins in the 2nd half we couldn't keep the ball
We look so disjointed on occasions, can we please have a plan B that is not the same as plan A but with different players.
Saka was getting dominated by fuckin Kerkez. Was he better first half?
Opportunity missed but .. doesn’t cost us .. win the remaining games.
At least I got the 0 right
That was not great. Either in terms of result or quality. Credit to Pool for playing well the second half, but Arsenal didn't remotely do what they needed.
Fuckin fell asleep before the match and woke up to catch the rest of it from 57' onwards. The part I caught Arsenal looked so disappointingly second best.
Yeah, cos every champion wins 38 games a season. Fucking get a grip.

that's his bread and butter
Jesus disturbed him
They never fucking troubled us
except for the saliba/raya fuckup. But yeah, they generated very little.
That is not a game that instils confidence as to how this team will manage future crunch moments.
draw is not a bad result at all but a win would have been a hell of a statment of intent
They never fucking troubled us
Apart from the thickness of the bar
Yeah, cos every champion wins 38 games a season. Fucking get a grip.
What a fucking chance but not one we deserved
That is not a game that instils confidence as to how this team will manage future crunch moments.
Honestly Gabi missed a sitter there
They never fucking troubled us
Utter shit. Lucky to get a point.
I dunno we had the first half they had the second. I'm shocked we couldn't muster up a response at all though
Honestly Gabi missed a sitter there
that's his bread and butter
At least we didn't lose to a sucker punch
Honestly Gabi missed a sitter there
Utter shit. Lucky to get a point.
This is what y'all serve us?
Lol Neville wondering why no Liverpool players whacked him.
Be offended
Incite violence lal
Unbelievable from a "pundit"
fuck it was there for the taking
this league is abysmal and tothink we are top
Is it?
To be fair, he thinks he's faking
Yeah he clearly doesn't know he was hurt but it's gonna look quite bad in hindsight
Lol Neville wondering why no Liverpool players whacked him.

Yeah like punching someone is not as bad as what marti did. lol

I can’t defend Martinelli for that. Thats not a class thing to do at all.
To be fair, he thinks he's faking
Fucking stupid from Martinelli
He's gonna see that back and know he was wrong
Really bad martinelli
Neville is a fucking prick though
I can’t defend Martinelli for that. Thats not a class thing to do at all.
What's he done?
Dude probably did his ACL and Martinelli is draggin him off the pitch and throwing ball at him LMAO bro cmon
Dick move
I can’t defend Martinelli for that. Thats not a class thing to do at all.
Neville desperately trying to engineer a narrative
Fucking stupid from Martinelli
Should I be glad to have missed the game

Mutual holding....a new one on me
both had hand fulls of shirt
Be real, Nelli shouldn't do that but a second before Bradley very purposefully ensured he was on the pitch. Cunt knew what he was doing.
Edit, what? Neutral holding?
What fucking bullshit!
Mutual holding....a new one on me
One shot from Nelli in the 90+
We have 4 on target to their zero.
If you're annoyed, mouth him off. Fucking brainless.
No choice
Edit, what? Neutral holding?
What fucking bullshit!
what is Martinelli doing?
Why isn't VAR saying that's a pelanty?
50/50
One shot from Nelli in the 90+
Header by Jesus at 88
6 points gap is good enough
I'll take it
6 points gap is good enough
On previous seasons?
If you're annoyed, mouth him off. Fucking brainless.
Haha how the fuck is that a free kick. Konate all over him
Why isn't VAR saying that's a pelanty?
6 points gap is good enough
Gotta take shots to gain corners. Have we had any?
One shot from Nelli in the 90+
What is Martinelli doing there. Fucking hell.

Haha how the fuck is that a free kick. Konate all over him
are we allowed to sub Gyok back on?
Martinelli the only one with any oompf
this would have been the statement win. one hand on the title etc
Jesus brought his limp dick today
As in we should be more critical of Arsenal.
I agree; but in comparison they have been much better
We're bigging up Liverpool now? They've been disciplined tonight but come the fuck on.
They have us on backfoot for the entire half, at home. So, yes
Why can’t we have Palace Eze?
Look at the stats after this game. More possession and far more chances.
As in we should be more critical of Arsenal.
We should be looking a lot closer to home.

Yep. Lucky to get out of this 0-0
ft yet?
Yep. They’ve bossed us since 25 mins
We should be looking a lot closer to home.
They're without Salah, Isak, Ekitike and we're the ones suffering it seems
Draws with Fulham, Leeds X2 and Sunderland.
We're bigging up Liverpool now? They've been disciplined tonight but come the fuck on.
Yep. They’ve bossed us since 25 mins
Two fast wide players on the pitch and we can’t get the ball out to them
Our midfield proper shit today
Only the defence holding up
Yep. Lucky to get out of this 0-0

Pool have just looked sharper to every ball
and this is their depleted squad.
Our midfield proper shit today
Really bad
Pool have just looked sharper to every ball
They've been toilet this season, champions or not.
11 games unbeaten.
Our midfield proper shit today
A chance to lay down a marker and it's like the team decided to draw a phallus on their friend's face instead.
Lovely kick from Raya to no one
All fucking night he's been at it
They've been toilet this season, champions or not.
They can only do it every other season
But at least they do it
Lovely kick from Raya to no one
Swapped entire front 4.
8 attacking players tonight
Hard to believea
Swapped entire front 4.
8 attacking players tonight
They've been toilet this season, champions or not.
Jesus been absolutely useless
We're playing like we just met in the parking lot before the game
Zubimendi's practically playing as a third CB. Really disappointing shit tonight.
Our mechanism is not functioning.
the contrast between the halves should be studied
No movement in front of players
Not one shot in the second half
You forget Timber has been playing
Idiot ref carding coaches
Has to make it about himself. He's always been a cunt
Look at that shit. As soon as they press us... no plan.
He does that shit where you're like "WTF are you doing"... oh fuck "Brilliant!"
Ay. Just mad core strength and balance
Too many stressful late kickoffs since December wrecking my sleep patterns.
It better all be worth it come May
He does that shit where you're like "WTF are you doing"... oh fuck "Brilliant!"
Idiot ref carding coaches
Worst performance of the season so far...so fucking bad on the ball
worst second half
Jesus been absolutely useless
It's going to take something special from someone... because not many players look capable of concurrent brilliance right.
A draw against the champions would not be the worst result of the season though
No agree
Worst performance of the season so far...so fucking bad on the ball
It is very bad. Still maybe we get OG to get a winner. VVD would do nicely.
Worst performance of the season so far...so fucking bad on the ball
A draw against the champions would not be the worst result of the season though

Need a scrappy winner . Think of the joy!
I literally went right over his hand, which was right under the bar
Worst performance of the season so far...so fucking bad on the ball
Raya would have saved that
I am not so sure
Raya tempting him. Idiocy. That would have gone in.

this fucking cunt absolutely licking his lips to give FKs outside our box
Aye
This has been such an unimposing performance.
Was a clumsy challenge. Made it easy for the cunt
he got the ball.
this fucking cunt absolutely licking his lips to give FKs outside our box

you have to laugh at this striker situation
this fucking cunt absolutely licking his lips to give FKs outside our box
fucking ridiculous
One of them has to make that run. FFS.
this fucking cunt absolutely licking his lips to give FKs outside our box
6 yard box isn't part of the zone any of them are asked to occupy
That's bullshit then
This ref is being a cunt to us tonight, on balance
Why is no-one there in the middle, FFS?
To be fair Timber would have been there but he fell over
The irony
6 yard box isn't part of the zone any of them are asked to occupy
Man, if Pool somehow win this... I fucking swear.
To be fair Timber would have been there but he fell over
ANY YOU CUNTS WANT A TAP IN?!
Lol
ANY YOU CUNTS WANT A TAP IN?!
FFS
Nobody there and can't blame it on Gyok
ANY YOU CUNTS WANT A TAP IN?!
Can Arteta go bold with taking Zubi off?
He's not playing regularly, hence the poor performances
Doesn't seem to have the legs to play LB.
This is why we should win the league. We can legit sub Saka and Ode off for players that can do shit.
Not good enough. Time to move
He's not playing regularly, hence the poor performances
What does that say about our captain in the biggest game of the season?
Saka looks gassed this half.
MLS all cocky when he got a run in the team now starting to get exposed as positionally inept maybe.
Wow. Well Saka AND Ode off, you cant say Arteta hasnt done what was needed
Not good enough. Time to move
Just cannot believe how bad both teams are, tbh
what happenedto skelly hes wank
This is fucking turgid shit!
Team is at a loss for how to play through Liverpool... and you can see the believe is fading.
how the hell are we letting McAllister just dribble through us like Messi
This is becoming a perfect game for a Martinelli breakaway, guys
Awful from Lewis-Skelly. Also why does Raya choose by far the worst option when he has an abundance of time there.
What the fuck were they both at
Questioning a choice I made this morning..... 👀
Love MLS but glaring reasons why he ain't playing anymore
Awful from Lewis-Skelly. Also why does Raya choose by far the worst option when he has an abundance of time there.
That runt kerkez is owning saka
Not for much longer.
The best way through them is to move the ball quickly. It’s no good letting them get set into their positions
I miss the days when someone would do something ridiculous and get sent off
They've done most of the substantial attacking so far this half.
75 percent
i can't take it anymore, going to order some food
That runt kerkez is owning saka
MLS seems to be wearing one of those 5kg boots
They've done most of the substantial attacking so far this half.
get odegaard off and i knowits not happening
This is one of those Liverpool performances like they manage in the CL. From nothing, they suddenly take a game
It's very hard when a good time decides they want to choke the game out
*team
Get a foot on the ball a bit
It's very hard when a good time decides they want to choke the game out
FFS we cannot win the god damn ball
We won a throw!
FFS we cannot win the god damn ball
Ball ends up back with Liverpool boots within seconds of any interception.
This. We'll lose playing or a 0-0
The way this is going, I see only one team winning this one
This is incredible. Aimlessly following the ball like someone put something in their tea.
tells you everything about recruitment
No I rate both but Eze really hasnt settled well yet. Madueke is lethal but he’s not kicking Saka out of this game after his threat on the first half.
Saka lucky not to get a yellow. That tackle was waist high
Odegaard needs to grab games like these and dictate in the middle, he looks good when things are running for us but goes into his shell when we need him to up the game.
hes not him
Having said all this, I don’t know that I’d trust Eze to pull it out the bag, and I don’t see Madueke for Saka tonight

What happened to the team that came out in the second half against Villa
Need things to turn in our favour a bit here, they've had the whole of this 2nd half their way so far
TTD. Let's defend, park the bus and don't lose this
We need to find a way if we’re going to win the league. Need to be ruthless, especially given their relative lack of danger players tonight.
We'll still be top no matter what the final score is
Fuck that. Play for the win every time.
This. We'll lose playing or a 0-0

He is never ever in position to receive the ball when we are crossing. I buy the set up doesn't suit him but he doesn't have the strikers instinct
hes shit pal
Has a clear measure of MLS
but fortunately no composure
He was constantly covered by two players but he wasn’t getting support
He is never ever in position to receive the ball when we are crossing. I buy the set up doesn't suit him but he doesn't have the strikers instinct
When we get the ball back the lack of any sort of plan as to what to do with it is fucking infuriating.
Eze given the cold shoulder and Gyokeres showing as much movement as my flaccid 60 year old cock, £120 million down the drain or too early to say?
we need to score, don't care if it comes off Jesus' butt crack
Obvious comment. Problem is we don’t know how to get a decent attempt
Has a clear measure of MLS
We're actually getting played through.
Pingpong Gervinho nearly through
Fuckin hell get it together team. Frimpong is rapid.
we need to score, don't care if it comes off Jesus' butt crack
We're actually getting played through.
Second half has not been great
Worse than the first, hard to do if we're honest.
Pray that's the last time Gyok starts for the rest of this season
He was constantly covered by two players but he wasn’t getting support
Second half has not been great
Time for the other two Gabis.
There we go.
It’s not so much that we haven’t done much with it, more that Pool have woken up and we don’t seem to be able to deal with them
I've seen enough of Gyok. Bin him.
Pray that's the last time Gyok starts for the rest of this season
hes pitiful
Pray that's the last time Gyok starts for the rest of this season
Pretty grim
Pray that's the last time Gyok starts for the rest of this season
Gyökeres and Trossard off, Martinelli and Jesus on
Martini and Jesus to save us.
Hurried when pressed and totally bereft of ideas offensively this half? Sorry - this ain't it.
Wake the fuck up everyone!!
Need to regain composure and control. We’re at brown trousers stage again
proof that 1st 1 was a fluke
Ping pong, for all his danger, has done fuck all
Why are we allowing them onto us?
This isn't a team with the mentality that they need to go for this game.
Our mentality is fine.
Right change it Mikel ffs
Yeah this is shit.
This isn't a team with the mentality that they need to go for this game.

much tougher with a wet ball
Free kick in the centre. Slobbyeye?
Yup
Free kick in the centre. Slobbyeye?
hardly very convincing are we, get that plum off up top
Everyone else is walking around too
Feels like a season-defining 30 mins
hardly very convincing are we, get that plum off up top
Looks like they're bricking it
This is just weird. They're in full control here
Like a Scooby Doo episode, so fucking predictable.
Giving them too much encouragement
Time for the other two Gabis.
This is just weird. They're in full control here
It's nights like this you want Arsenal to go up a level.
All very quiet in the stadium.
Annoying given we're only two players away from a fully fit squad (give or take).
Pool will be loving this with ‘half their team out’!
They’ll probably target that side
Just did....
Liverpool look very capable when they get the ball for sustained periods.
MLS and Pingpong should be interesting.

Damn zubi took that off saka
Yes, Saka needs to scream for that though
MLS coming on. I hope he doesn’t do that holding up, waiting for a foul shit
Damn zubi took that off saka
Has history
Hincapie banjaxed. MLS coming on
Damn zubi took that off saka
On the flip side, they need to win...... we dont
4th is probably a lock for them. More pressure on us.
On the flip side, they need to win...... we dont
Should bring on Gyok as a target..... oh wait
Really static. We need more than this guys.
Giving them too much encouragement
Not happy about the way this is going at the moment
You and everyone else.
We look shaky at the back
Not happy about the way this is going at the moment
It's weird, the man city result maybe meant Arteta not sure whether to stick or twist
I know what table topping Liverpool would be doing to 4th place Arsenal at Anfield
It's weird, the man city result maybe meant Arteta not sure whether to stick or twist
It is usually stick, to be fair.
This game has a feel to it that feels depressingly familiar. Got draw written all over it.

Don't particularly dislike any of Liverpool's players. Van Dijk hubris is at times staggering but can somewhat understand it.
I just need us to inflict misery on their fans and create some distance f...
The amount of shit VVD gets away with is enough for me to stick him in the cunt column.
Agreed this is probably not a Nelli game, Eze should be warming up for Tross
This game has a feel to it that feels depressingly familiar. Got draw written all over it.
Liverpool picking up the pace now.
Hope I'm wrong but I feel a sucker punch is coming
But compare Gyok to the other ‘big strikers’ who moved in the summer
Sesko
Isak
Ekiteke
None of those are pulling up trees
Would say Ekitike's done well... and Isak is still a hell of a player.
But compare Gyok to the other ‘big strikers’ who moved in the summer

Gyok will go well in the eredivisie next season
Gyokezman
Sturridge and Keane.
Where's the Arsenal pundit??
Merson probably at an AA meeting
Gyok will go well in the eredivisie next season
He played one nice reverse pass through to Saka
But so flat-footed for most of the half, not making those runs across the defender when Saka beats his man. I think I’ve seem enough of him. So disappointing.
Sky highlighting Arsenal have £260M of subs vs £70M on Liverpools’s bench.
They don’t do this when we have four academy players on the bench do they!
Likely Martinelli but I’d put Eze there
Eze doesn't fit though, not since the NLD, doesn't do what Martinelli does defensively.
One of the positives of the first half was the quality of some of the Saka/Timber interchanges. Final ball sometimes lacking but Kerkez can definitely be outmanoeuvred and present us some with some real estate.
Doesn't seem like a Martinelli type game
lol, now they’re comparing costs of the subs - desperate arguments.
Cmon boys. A massive second half needed
This is not a good advertisement for Gyok. He's done the square root of fuck all. And this is exactly the sort of match he was brought in for.
Maybe he gets 10 mins in the second half to do something?...
He played one nice reverse pass through to Saka
Would rather watch the ads that listen to whoever they have on
i got keane and a ex liverpool striker who had 1 good seson
Yeah put Noni or Martinelli out there.
Likely Martinelli but I’d put Eze there
This is not a good advertisement for Gyok. He's done the square root of fuck all. And this is exactly the sort of match he was brought in for.
Maybe he gets 10 mins in the second half to do something? Then we need to see Jesus.
At least 115 still have to go to Anfield
Would rather watch the ads that listen to whoever they have on
Sturridge and Keane.

2 mins of shit analysis, then 12 mins of adverts.

Always
They haven't defended like that at all this year that I've seen. I think we've been fairly incisive for how compact they've been. Just missing that final ball/run.
Maybe they saw how easily Villa carved through us on the counter attack (in the first half lol)
I have been alarmed seeing Sabila dribbling alongside Saka.
Commentators making a big thing out of the fact that “Liverpool may actually believe they have a chance in this game”
-here the fucking champions and we have castrated them bar one attempt.
I've muted the half time shit
I mean if we're not gonna use Eze in this situation...
I actually could see Mik using Eze
I mean if we're not gonna use Eze in this situation...
Moving the ball too slowly. Gyökeres again looks so sluggish. Get Jesus on and also hothead Trossard off. Got to put more pressure on.
id leave tross on for a bit actually, mot likely to score imo
Nicky Butt wants a joint team of Fletcher and Steve Bruce.
Not a joke.
Ferguson really is the greatest of all time for leading multiple lobotomised players to so many trophies.
Not sure how anyone can take UTD ex-player pundits seriously when they've been such utter disasters in the big seat
But not once did they look bothered.

Moving the ball too slowly. Gyökeres again looks so sluggish. Get Jesus on and also hothead Trossard off. Got to put more pressure on.
Yeah put Noni or Martinelli out there.

Commentators making a big thing out of the fact that “Liverpool may actually believe they have a chance in this game”
-here the fucking champions and we have castrated them bar one attempt.
Need a repeat of whatever Arteta said to the lads against Villa to apply in the 2nd half!
🤞

Keane should pit his money here his mouth is or shut he fuck up!
Nicky Butt wants a joint team of Fletcher and Steve Bruce.
Not a joke.
Ferguson really is the greatest of all time for leading multiple lobotomised players to so many trophies.
Liverpool are always dangerous on the break but we aren't doing a whole lot wrong. These guys are backs to the wall defending.

Get Madueke and Jesus on.
Convinced Golds is Leos agent
LOL I want him off.
Although maybe Jesus for Gyok will open up that space a bit on the left.
Well he’s pointless at the moment. There have always been strikers who sit on the fringes of games and then BAM they take a half chance and score. (Mostly against us)
Gyok doesn’t feel like a threat...
I would stick Martinelli or Jesus on at half time, might not score but they do add a touch of excitement.
Please respect the next Man United manager
heh
Probably not popular, but I'd rather lose this game "going for it" than play fucking Southgate ball to try and get a draw.
A win would be important psychologically imo.

We have had some great second halves, so hoping for that

Man all Tross needed to do was get a little nick on that Dec shot.
I know. Especially as he's a bit of a poacher
Man all Tross needed to do was get a little nick on that Dec shot.
Bradley a bit too big and quick for Tross- he's getting no joy on that side.
Neville just fobbed it off lol
Grahame Le Saux said it was never a pen.
HT
A point wouldn't be a disaster but these are 14 points off the pace for a reason
Eze may finally be needed today.
Arteta ignoring him.
These announcers actually saying Frimpong may have a case for a penalty
ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME
Neville just fobbed it off lol
Yeah, happy with Eze there too
Or Madueke even though he's less effective on left
These announcers actually saying Frimpong may have a case for a penalty
ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME
At least Neville said it wasnt
These announcers actually saying Frimpong may have a case for a penalty

Neville said NO.
Saliba the only one running vertically.
Nelli second half with Tross on a yellow
More of an Eze game

Against a low block. Pls no
Bradley is a bad matchup for Tross.

We press at the top very well but when they get the ball out the next player is totally unmarked.
Eze may finally be needed today.
Gone a bit flat.... COME ON ARSENAL a step up second half needed.
They are defending cut backs well. When was the last time you've seen Pool park the bus for this much of a half.
They'll get one break and then...
the anxiety
We are camped in that final third- need to make it count
They'll get one break and then...

Lovely by Gyokeres there, though.
Yes but Timber doesn't pick out a player.

Why don't you take it first time?!
Predatory instinct of a sloth
lmao
We look much more assertive than we did at Anfield.
It was a bit of a cancel each other out game up there. Apart from the worldie free kick and Dowman getting a couple of welcome to the man’s game tackles, the only other thing of note was Pool playing some quick long ground passes through the middle that I’d have liked to see us do
Lovely by Gyokeres there, though.
Gakpo really is dumb as rocks at times
He did amazing to get there and get a cross over into the zone.
Did well to get there but his final ball isn't superb imo. Great defender but he's definitely not Reece James when it comes to technique.
Playing with ten men at the moment. I remember a saying from an old Yorkie that worked on the sites years ago when talking about this other fella alongside him, he said "it was like working with nail int boot".
Gyokeres is two steps behind everything.
Need better from Timber when he gets into those spaces.
He did amazing to get there and get a cross over into the zone.
They have 8 men on the edge of their box
We need a runner to go vertically, not go out to the sides every fucking time
They have 8 men on the edge of their box
They've parked the slot machine
They have 8 men on the edge of their box

Very not unlike the Anfield game.
It was hot and sunny?
More possession but pretty ineffective.
Very not unlike the Anfield game.
I remember Davor Suker, he was underwhelming too
I don't care about his technique or his speed blah blah
He has no idea where to be in the box. He has no idea when there is danger for him to exploit.
That's not fair on Sloths
Ouch
Predatory instinct of a sloth
That's not fair on Sloths
Nasty, he twisted it pretty badly but it was not a foul.
almost want Madueke on to skin Bradley properly on the left
Predatory instinct of a sloth
Can't remember the last time our centre forward for near the end of a cross. Never mind touch it.
Not even in the same post code
We’d be more of a threat with Jesus up there, at least he throws himself at things
Can't remember the last time our centre forward for near the end of a cross. Never mind touch it.
Great stuff from Rice. Shame there was no-one there.
Meat and drink for a striker, oh...
Great stuff from Rice. Shame there was no-one there.
If it’s that bad he won’t come back on
Nasty, he twisted it pretty badly but it was not a foul.
We have 55 final third passes, and 6 crosses. We've been pushing.
Those stats are meaningless if they passes lead to nothing and the crosses are at best speculative.
We've had a few threatening moments but failed to create anything clear cut.
Fuck this kick the ball out shit, play to the whistle. If the ref deems it worthy to stop, he’ll stop. Players have feigned injury too often to believe it. He tripped up his own foot.
It’s like the game at anfield and what Citeh did here - we’re going to have to earn it tonight
We look much more assertive than we did at Anfield.
Fucking rolled his ankle. VDV needs to shut up
It's essentially keep-ball and manoeuvre some space for Saka.
We have 55 final third passes, and 6 crosses. We've been pushing.
Fuck off Van Delegate you posing cunt
Such a prick
Fuck off Van Delegate you posing cunt
Pool dealing with crosses easily. Need to drive forward through the middle and try some shots from edge of the box.
It’s like the game at anfield and what Citeh did here - we’re going to have to earn it tonight
A screamer from outside the box from Rice would be nice
These guys are the champions. They’re mugsmashers but no mugs and they have changed style to ultra defensive-counter attacks - it’s not going to be easy viewing

Gotta watch out and not let them have any free kicks near our box. Don't want Szobozlai taking those
Liverpools defensive shape is just bizarre. Apart from the back four, it's just random lads taking up random positions as long as it's all in the way of the ball.
But like Villa game here so far, not much to see in first half
May as well stay in the pub, with this dross.

Plays as a sweeper. High risk.

Wake the fuck up Arsenal.
Nearly masters of our own downfall there
Liverpool have much more bite and fluency in transition than us.
Liverpool playing at a walking pace too. Then they hit the bar.
It is very measured. No one taking a risk, much of it at walking pace.
Ah... Too bad
Dishonest to his federation
And a prize twat

Are we showing too much respect to Pool and playing haram horseshoe ball?

This attack still needs another world class player.
The ref is going to look to get us down to 10 men, Trossard seems to be his target.
Who is the ref?

Hope this half doesn't turn into a 'get on Saka's level' affair. Need another attacker to show some intuition and bravery.
Have to make this possession count.
Saka up for it.... need a big game from him
First shot. Bot a bad idea even from there in these conditions. More please.
Not
First shot. Bot a bad idea even from there in these conditions. More please.
Great from Saka there. How is no-one there to prod that in.
He has to pick out someone on the 18 there, or the penalty spot. 6 yard is too congested.

Fuck so close just if someone was there

Gary Neville on NBC says it’s a definite yellow
well he's a cunt
Just not the energy I think we needed or wanted. Very Arteta start, this.
Also the weather is rank...... take the draw and go and get dry
Just better not be any more for Tross
not very good with his back to goal.
Sometimes a foul is just a foul. Nothing more, there’ll be so much worse than that here

Agree it was harsh but Trossard needed to be smarter there.

Now Smudger Smith headed over the bar........ Wait........ I maybe on the dvd channel on my T.V
Fucking bent ref- yellow for that!?!
By far the weakest part of Trossard's game on display there.
Liam Brady just did a blinding cross to Alan sunderland
LOL.
Liam Brady just did a blinding cross to Alan sunderland
Timber needs to better there but great through ball.
Following on live blog - all it says is Liverpool or Arsenal throw.
1m30 delay on my now stream
Heh 7'10

Gyokeres needs to be more cognisant of his surroundings there. Could have got himself back onside.
Always say cognisant when you could say aware
Pool look more secure with the ball so far.

You buy Guehi, you kill Mosquera/Hincapie
Guehi is a notch above, IMHO. Arsenal can or should have the depth in quality in all positions. I can see him also in a defensive midfield role.
Anyway, COYGs!!!
Thank fuck we went and got Hincapie after Kiwior left
Yeah and that was a last signing where most of us were questioning if it's really necessary.
Can't wait for Calafiori to get back- he was having a hell of a season. I think Hincapie has done really well having to slot right in and perform at CB and LB. He's been far from perfect but to step r...

Can't wait for Calafiori to get back- he was having a hell of a season. I think Hincapie has done really well having to slot right in and perform at CB and LB. He's been far from perfect but to step right into a team of this caliber is no easy. I think for the most part he's done that well.
You buy Guehi, you kill Mosquera/Hincapie
Haha mg is wenger
Can I get a 100 ft tall Goonersaurus tifo my guys
Jeez…nice words from Roy Keane
“There have been doubts over the last few years about if they had that strength in depth, but this year, I think with their recruitment, you look at their bench tonight...
He's not wrong
I kid, I kid... Can't have too many defenders, can you?
Marc Guéhi would be an excellent addition. Get him, Berta.

Would be nice if we could have an early strike in the first half and attack them with a few quick salvos for a change.

all the while complaining about their own injuries
Jeez…nice words from Roy Keane
“There have been doubts over the last few years about if they had that strength in depth, but this year, I think with their recruitment, you look at their bench tonight, it's all set up for Arsenal to go on and win the title.
They're so strong, so aggressive, real goal threats, physically they're very good at not giving much away at the back.
Big challenge for them tonight. With other teams slipping up yesterday, it's there for them to go and grab it and embrace the challenge and go and win that title.
If you'd ask me which dressing room I'd like to be in to go and win the title, I'd 100% say Arsenal. It's geared up for them. They've got to go now and take the opportunity.”
Is it sky, Amazon tonight?
Sky and on Now

Well in Arsenal_Adam.
Strong team, let's do this!
COYGs!
its a lovely symmetrical name to be fair
heh... as palindromey as our own Eze
Great first team. Good bench. No Havertz unfortunately. But we’re ready.
So now apparently Sky is pushing the narrative that Arsenal fans in unison think we've already won the league. I mean inevitably there will be confident fans. I'll never be one of those, but fuck who ...
A expert fan on talk sport answered, to how are you doing , are you going to win league
He said
On our way
Which I like
Arsenal: Raya, Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Hincapie, Zubimendi, Rice, Odegaard, Trossard, Saka, Gyokeres
Subs: Kepa, White, Lewis-Skelly, Norgaard, Merino, Madueke, Martinelli, Eze, Jesus
Scouse Cunts ...
Arse!
well in, adam! be lucky!
wow, our depth really is quite something. The strength of that bench when you don't even have room for Nwaneri or Havertz. The lineup for Sunday will be interesting.
I can understand the patience at this point having waited so long. A set back would be annoying as fuck. That said it's weird he was on the bench a few games back and then left out of the team but the...
Maybe see him in FA cup
Pool still a threat, but that's a far cry from when they turned up with Salah, Firmino and Mane up front
Guess the boss thought too soon for Kai
I can understand the patience at this point having waited so long. A set back would be annoying as fuck. That said it's weird he was on the bench a few games back and then left out of the team but they say he is healthy and they are just managing load.
Arsenal: Raya, Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Hincapie, Zubimendi, Rice, Odegaard, Trossard, Saka, Gyokeres
Subs: Kepa, White, Lewis-Skelly, Norgaard, Merino, Madueke, Martinelli, Eze, Jesus
Scouse Cunts : Alisson, van Dijk, Konata, Kerkez, Wirtz, Szoboszlai, Mac Allister, Bradley, Gakpo, Frimpong, Gravenberch
Subs: Mamardashvilli, Woodman, Gomez, Chiesa, Jones, Robertson, Nyoni, Ramsay, Ngumoha
Guess the boss thought too soon for Kai
Raya, Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Hincapie, Zubimendi, Odegaard, Rice, Saka, Gyokeres, Trossard.
Subs: Kepa, White, Jesus, Eze, Martinelli, Norgaard, Madueke, Merino, Lewis-Skelly.
Can't say I disagree with that lineup. Look at the beautiful bench.
Raya, Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Hincapie, Zubimendi, Odegaard, Rice, Saka, Gyokeres, Trossard.
Subs: Kepa, White, Jesus, Eze, Martinelli, Norgaard, Madueke, Merino, Lewis-Skelly.
As we thought
its a lovely symmetrical name to be fair
Hadn't noticed before.
I want Wirtz to get what xavi Simons got from Rice

I think you spelled that backwards
Just realised that!
Raya, Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Hincapie, Zubimendi, Odegaard, Rice, Saka, Gyokeres, Trossard.
Subs: Kepa, White, Jesus, Eze, Martinelli, Norgaard, Madueke, Merino, Lewis-Skelly.
Lovely
Gakpo still a bit of a threat
I think you spelled that backwards
Not stopping to rain, as they say in my neck of the woods.
how the hell am I gonna get over there lol
Not stopping to rain, as they say in my neck of the woods.
So now apparently Sky is pushing the narrative that Arsenal fans in unison think we've already won the league. I mean inevitably there will be confident fans. I'll never be one of those, but fuck who cares? There's fans of ours angry at other fans of ours for being too confident. All of that is noise. So glad that it's Arteta in charge for this. One man who is not gonna get carried away.
Getting close to time.
Gonna be great though!
Let’s see if Pool can cope on a cold, wet winters night in the north……of London
And it is fucking wet out there. Had to pull in fir a couple of pints!
Marc Guehi noise seems weird.
I'm wondering if I could buy a replica of that nice Arsenal coffee mug with a Thomas Frank signature on it 😂
Always liked Thomas Frank, doing a stellar job at Spurs. Also like the way he keeps praising Arsenal in every press conference.

Pics or it didn't happen.. 😜
Just under 3 hours until I'm on the train.
I feel like this is the first time in forever we actually go against Liverpool with basically a fully fit squad. We've always been missing a key player. Now the shoe is on the other foot. Kill them.
Mosquera and Calafiori still out but yeah we’re getting there. Time to see Havertz tonight I think but agree Vik has to start and hope this is one where he thwacks one in from distance.

I have a feeling Jesus is going to start. He likes reserving some of these tactical switch ups for the big games, Arteta.
I think he's gonna stick with Viktor with Jesus coming off the bench. We are in a good moment and not sure he will want to make that change.
Draw whatever conclusions you want but I believe we are 17W 1D 1L with Gyok as a starter. With him injured or coming off the bench we drew Sunderland/Chelsea and lost to Villa.
haha, pitch invasion? WHAT?!
Basket case of a club, just gets better

I said it before, I get sick of the ‘this team/ that team is in transition’ comments too. We bought 8 players in the summer, surely we’re in transition as well, as are any team that sacks and replaces its manager every 12 months. So which team isn’t in transition, or doesn’t have issues?
It’s also good to see opposition fans bleating on about how PGMOL and VAR are favouring us this season - I mean, WTF!?
Come on, let’s find another big win for the good guys! 🤞🙏
I've got a feeling we'll see an appearance from Havertz tonight. Imagine him coming on in the last 15 with the game to win? I mean, I hope the game is already ours by then and still his appearance on ...
can't they put something in the drinks/pies/crisps/sausage rolls, three pound bottle of fucking water?
I've got a feeling we'll see an appearance from Havertz tonight. Imagine him coming on in the last 15 with the game to win? I mean, I hope the game is already ours by then and still his appearance on the pitch will be rousing for the fans.
Is Lord Varyd playing mind games over Ekitike do we reckon?
No way he recovers from any hamstring injury in 4 days!
I see Terry Yorath has died. He, just like Martin Chivers, were household names when I was a kid. Very sad to see them go.
Ohhh. RIP.
I'm excited for tonight's game.
I really want 3 points, but I dint think it will be easy.
It will be nice to play with a near-full strength team. We always seem to have a depleted squad against Liverpool and I'm sick of the response from their fans about injuries being part of the game whilst they roll put their first choice eleven.
You've never mentioned this story before...
Happy 21st birthdays to the Nikettes!
You've got twins!!!!!
They met Freddie!!!!
How have you kept this so quiet, Nik?
Can't believe they're 21.
My twins celebrate their birthday tomorrow

I remember at school playing football, everyone would shout "do a Chivers" for a throw-in.
Was just about to post. Gabby Logan was called away from her spot last night in an emergency. Yeah, they were part of my youth too, I think they were in my first set of Panini stickers as well, I stil...
Haha nice, you have twins too then!
bigger than yours

Yeah, they were part of my youth too, I think they were in my first set of Panini stickers as well, I still remember that Admiral kit with the logo running down the sides that Terry Yorath wore, I think it was the Wales kit.

And HAPPY 21ST BIRTHDAY to the fabulous Nikettes!
Here's a fun fact that no one knows: They met Freddie Ljundberg when they were 6 months old!
Haha nice, you have twins too then!
Fucking stiff as a board this morning. Few players for the U16s first training session back last night, so we played an hour of 5-a-side. Hurts everywhere this morning!
Morning all. Well in Adam.

That's Emery though, he's a small time manager. I doubt Liverpool will be sonl negative tonight.

Against Villa the crowd were immense for the first 10-15 minutes, but the team (and the ref) let Villa completely kill the atmosphere with their negative football and time wasting.
They need to be straining at the leash to kill the opponent off
let's just smash the w'nkers..... but remember those of us going, it may take 90+ mins, and use of the bench.....

Good work!

Hi everyone
3rd day of 45'C...im fcking over it. I will be watching with my son in law and baby grandson 6am tomorrow morning.
He is a red but MY grandbaby wont be. I greet him with north london forever everytime i see him ..always gets a smile 8)
And now he's going to further sabotage's City's campaign while being comfortably paid....
Semenyo's an Arsenal fan, supposedly... He could be behind it...
Just imagine....
I resent that comment.
I'm not fat... I'm just big boned!
One of the cleaners could be a gooner lol.

Hazza gets an Arsenal probing?
No, we need to stamp our authoritah on this title race!
All right, Cartman.
And arse!
Well in Adam.. Be fucking lucky!
What was already a big game becomes even more crucial later on
Weirdly, I had the opposite reaction.
I really want to win this, but it feels a little less crucial with all the points the others...

Our midfield is where we will win this tonight. Those three are purring currently.
Definitely. If everything clicks in the middle we can do this. I hope Arteta doesn't go to cautious, gotta feed off the what will be an amazing atmosphere.

Apparently, they're all born within two months of each other. The stars here are definitely aligned!
Yep, hilarious.
Surely someone will have done that deliberately?

This game will play out similar to the one at anfield. Pool’s current unbeaten streak is thanks to a much more defensive approach and you can be sure they’ll be even more defensive tonight.
We will take the controlled approach as usual, and will need some explosive moments to break it open. Unless we find an early goal it won’t be an easy viewing.
Like at anfield, and v Citeh, we’ll get the criticism of not going for it enough and there’ll be excuse makers defending Slots team.
We mashed the spuds, and swatted the Villa, now let’s go do the same to the departing champions.
Have fun, and bring home the three points!
👍👍👍

I think their celebrations of a Europa League cup against United while finishing 17th will look like the small-time thing it was. They will not know where to hide...
(but I'm getting ahead of myself, let's win tonight first before someone calls me a jinxing cunt :-)).
Hilarious! More so no one even noticed it haha!

The Thomas Frank coffee cup thing is funny. It makes sense now having seen the interview. He was given the cup from the Bournemouth away changing rooms where Arsenal were just a few days ago. Do they ...
Yep, hilarious.

Yes the atmosphere is gonna be something else! Can't wait to see what the club has planned for later. Thanks NB I'll be singing my little heart out!

Of all the nights, tonight's atmosphere is going to be something else. Enjoy and hope we get the result this team is good enough to get.

Do they not clean the changing rooms after the last team are in there? Still, did someone stitch him up or was it some junior staff member? Whatever, just hilarious!

I think their frustrations are getting bigger than their hopes now, no matter what, but yeah, if they get Semenyo and Guehi, maybe they will look up again, so I get you too.
There definitely be a fantastic atmosphere tonight indeed I suspect!
Rain rain rain now.
Most of the snow still here despite 6°C now, I expect this to be a little worse at work where it's colder, but I think I shall be making my way to the office soon.

Thanks!
Absolutely buzzing to be going tonight!

Huge opportunity though, yes for sure!
