Match Thread Arsenal V Liverpool

[eggy81]

Frimpong just keeps running and running. He’s good at getting beyond the full back. He’s a great out ball out there on the wing. Pity we’d no isak or Hugo to call on. We’d have pinched it I reckon.

0-0 decent point poor third draw in a row

The press and counter press and picking up giving ourselves room to play and making sure we’re not easily countered in we much better

But yet another game in which we look like all we train on is to keep the ball while going nowhere

Not a single shot on target with all that possession is pathetic we are absolutely crying out for a Diaz or Semenyo why the fuck we sold the former fuck knows someone want a boot in the cxxx for that fuck up

Bradley will be out for some time now that’s likely a medial strain and he was excellent tonight a real quality RB Gomez is a poor replacement

We need to be more direct abs create with all our possession keeping it going nowhere not creating any chances won’t win anything and never did

As ever all the focus on the next game and getting the win and work on the triangle on our right to create and creating far more and being direct when it’s on to be

The press and counter press and balance of players picking up and looking for space was much better tonight at least

But we need to do that against every team even the low block, in fact we need to be more direct against them and use the width switches and diagonals more

[eggy81]

We just can't play the same way v Burnley.

Kerkez is was superb tonight.

Assuming Bradder's injury is a bad will surely mean we go after a CB, as Joemez will be playing RB.

Because they won’t come out of their shape and we’ll get bogged down overpassing and lacking movement.

[Martyboy]

Thought it was an excellent performance tonight,played like champions...Love the fact we have some real pace with Frimpong...Shame we couldn't have nicked one but hey ho.....0-0 is a good result....

[KingCanny]

I would of clapped if someone took a red and smashed martinelli Ben thatcher style .
Glad we didn’t concede then , gutted for Bradley looks like his acl , gutted

Agreed. Would have accepted a red if Konate had smashed Martinelli. Might have forgiven some of his past errors...plus we would have to sign a new cb 😂

Give us a chance to get a full team out.

[Steveo]

I would have bitten your arms and legs off for a draw tonight,

If anyone should have won that game it was us. We make a superb underdog. Some of the football second half.

Arsenal looked like the away side for long spells

Yep. Might force their hand on Marc.

Great performance from our lads. 1st half a defensive masterclass. 2nd half bossed them in their own half of the pitch.
Big shout out to Kerkez and Frimpong..two players some of us had doubts about, coming good now. Kerkez nullified the 'greatest player in the history of the game' Saka. Frimpong always looks a threat and one of the few players these days who just will go round the outside and create havoc.
Think we would have played better offensively with Rio over Gakpo, but Gakpo put in a massive defensive shift in the first half. Not sure Rio would have had the game knowledge to do that.
Maybe give Ramsay a run out at RB in the next game, let Slot see what we already know..he will do well.

Now that game is out of the way we need to start building a winning run to pull away. That type of performance tonight results in a win most times. Despite not much threat the intent was there, it wasn't as pedestrian as it has been previously.
Some real positives to take from it, just need to make them count going forward.

[eggy81]

I’m not criticising it. It’s just what’s happening at the moment. We’ll figure it out yet getting the full side out had been a big problem this season to be fair.

Some great performances tonight, if only we had a fit number 9 we mightve got a goal.
Just a pity about Conor, that wee cunt should wacked in tunnel by one of our lads.

Unfortunately it will be Dom at rb again

[JockStrap]

That second half was total domination by us. Can see that Arne asked Virgil and the defence to push up 10 yards.

Any justice in the football world, Martinelli gets his knee cap taken out. Fucking ****
