Match Thread : Arsenal v Liverpool

[JockStrap]

Arsenal celebrating like they’ve won the league. They’re winning nothing. Unfortunately they’ve just made it massively more likely City will win it. Long, long way to go though.

Let us wear this defeat. We were not good enough. The leadership core in Van Dijk and Ali let us down at 1-1.

The entire team were not good if I were to pick our best player it was Macca.

If Nunez was fit he should have started. Too many changes, some perhaps enforced Sz8, Bradley shows how quickly he has progressed.

You are allowed to have a off day it is now can you come back.

Correct - we were beyond fortunate to go in at the break 1:1. But still to concede that calamity by Virgil and Alisson - x2 really - that last goal really should be easily dealt with. Virgils casual challenge what beats Alli.

BUT maybe the wake up call needed.

Lets see how Jurgen manages it.. he should go straight back to Bradley over Trent.the way he was so causal today. his ego is bigger than his ability..

I mentioned it half time, but to be fair the whole side looked as if all they had to do was turn up.

It was a lazy performance.

That's the hope. We've been excellent for the last month, let's hope this was just a blip.

Still only 2 defeats this season. One bump in the road, we'll be back asap.
We were off today after being good for a long while. These games are bound to happen and there's still everything to play for.
I might just be being wishful but I have a feeling those shitcunts will draw tomorrow night at Brentford.

It seems like teams can't beat us this season without gettin oodles of help from crooked, soft or weak officials and officiating.

Having said that, we didn't do ourselves any favours at all in this game with our poor game, and then gifting them back that critical second goal while we were still in it.

From that point on it was a simple cruise for them - especially after Taylor showing Konate that red (for an offense he then completely overlooks when the shoe was in the other foot and Gabriel did the exact same thing to Nunez, barely moments later).

Just goes to show, you start a game poorly, and you easily could find yourselvs fighting more than just to get back into the game.

We'll bounce back from this and go again.
Our goal difference at the moment is still better than City, but that will change, and when they do play their game in hand we'll know what's what and who's where.

March 30th (unless fixtures change) we may very well be rooting for Arsenal - they'll be traveling to the Etihad and if they could nick a draw, it very well may help us if we are still in the race at that stage.

If Arsenal play like this against City. you'd fancy then to take points of them.. so its not all doom and gloom. get back on the horse and win next game.

Arteta is an inferiority complex version of Pep without the resume

Let them have their day. They are celebrating even a bit too much at the end but let them have it. It was important ein for them they could have been out of the title race if they had lost.

Didn’t like the line up or that tactics today & we were poor as a result of both

Onwards & upwards let’s wear this as a reminder of the levels we need to be at & make sure we don’t drop below them again this season
