Arsenal vs Liverpool. Friday 7.45pm. Sky Sports.

[LDG]

I'm confident on this one.

Confident we'll lose and lose well.

I miss Syn :(

[AFC Leveller]

Giroud out of this, shame really, he usually does well against them and has done okay off the bench this season.

This could go two ways, we could bully them like we did Spurs or we could start slow like we did against Man ure and be 2-0 down early on. They have a lot of attacking talent, should be a tough one.

[Marc Overmars]

Huge job keeping that attack out but Liverpool strike me as flat track bullies. The top sides have all managed to contain them and in some cases dish out a spanking of their own.

Think we might nick this. 2-1.

No doubt we’ll need to approach with caution though given they’ve scored at least 3 against us in all of the meetings since Klopp has been there.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Since the start of the century we haven’t gone more than five league games without a win over this lot

The longest period we went without winning against them was just over three years between November 2006 and December 2009

[GP]

3-0

[Niall_Quinn]

Wouldn't raise an eyebrow with me if we lost 4-0 and made the same mistakes as in the first match.

I'd say they're the opposite of that.

Always up for the big games and good record against top sides but poor against the lower teams.

[Marc Overmars]

Not this season at least. City and Spurs hammered them and United and Chelsea frustrated them. Even Neverton got a result.

Of course we rolled over and died in August but that was just as much to do with poor preparation as it was their attacking strength.

Last season yes

This season no...we are the only “top six” side they’ve beaten. They got bummed by city and spurs. Couldn’t hold on to lead against Chelsea, couldn’t break down United.

But away from home against Leicester, Bournemouth, West Ham, Brighton, Stoke.....they scored 19 goals

[Cripps]

Interesting.

Should be 3 points then

:run:

[dostoy]

Arsenal are going to have to score 2 or maybe 3 goals just to get a draw.

I just cannot see it, its a certain loss.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

If we play like we have most of the season, won’t get any better than a draw

Play like we did against Spurs and I think we will win.

[Niall_Quinn]

Wenger should be sacked because the fans have to wonder if we'll turn up. How is that acceptable?

Will we be properly prepared? Will the team selection be sane? Will players be playing in their best positions? Will we start with conviction? Will we give 100%? Will we defend properly? These are the questions we have to ask before every game now, and it's becoming normal. As if it is acceptable and part and parcel of the process.

It can be translated. We could ask, will our 10 mill a year manager do his job? or not? And if we have to ask that he should be sacked.

I usually call for him to leave after the game. Today I'm calling for him to leave before the game.

Get out!

Why do you watch Arsenal games?

You will be asking him to leave after the game as well, we all will.

I agree with what you said there though.

I just cannot see Arsenal getting a draw, so a loss is certain.

[selassie]

This game is going to be really uncomfortable viewing IMO. Liverpool are the 2nd best attacking team in PL and are going to cause our defence no end of problems. They are suspect at the back and questionable in Midfield so are in some ways built like us but their attack is pretty clinical and has a lot of pace. We’ll lose 3-2, I simply cannot see us outscoring them.

[Ralpheroo72]

1-3

[Globalgunner]

Team news?

Where are you?

Lets be havin ya?

If we lose this, Wenger should give the fans the present they really want and resign.

If we win, Wenger should give the fans the present they really want and resign.

[Globalgunner]

WTF did Kolasinac do to get dropped?. Too direct, or did he refuse to suck?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Come on Arsenal. :bow:

[fakeyank]

Salah hattrick

[Master Splinter]

Decent start so far.

Henderson injured.

[Globalgunner]

and so it starts...Death by a thousand passes.

Your in the box, staring at the keeper, instead of shooting, pass it into a crowd of players.

Bellerin...steady decline into uselessness almost complete.

[Master Splinter]

Milner on for Henderson.

[Master Splinter]

Alexis woeful yet again.

We've completed three passes so far.

[Xhaka Can’t]

BT Internet blocking my Mobdro feeds. Turned off Wi-fi and I’m back in business.

[Globalgunner]

Cech the hardest working player on the pitch so far.

[GP]

Firmino's teeth are ridiculous.

[Xhaka Can’t]

All he can do is chew

[Globalgunner]

Our goal living a charmed life so far. Pool nearly scored.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Us. :lol:

[Xhaka Can’t]

We can play so much better than this.

[Master Splinter]

Firmino's finish lacked bite.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Dixon asking what Wenger is thinking and if he wants to change something.

Bringing on the Ox might help.

[Master Splinter]

Iwobi FFS.

[Globalgunner]

The inevitable has happened. Firminho scores.

[Xhaka Can’t]

And there it is.

[Master Splinter]

:doh:

[Xhaka Can’t]

The inevitable has happened. Firminho scores.

Fake news.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Corner for us.

Cech better watch out.

[Master Splinter]

Fake news.

Yeah, his name's Firmino.

[Globalgunner]

Iwobi doing great for the Pool defence today.

[Xhaka Can’t]

This place is rocking tonight

[Xhaka Can’t]

Iwobi, please fuck off

[Globalgunner]

We are being turned inside out. Hilarious!

[Xhaka Can’t]

We are being turned inside out. Hilarious!

It’s rare you see even supposedly small clubs turned inside out like this.

Especially at home.

[Globalgunner]

If I hear 1 more reference to the Fab4. Im muting the speakers

[McNamara That Ghost...]

It's a good thing Kolasinac is on the bench, our defence could've been under pressure otherwise.

[Xhaka Can’t]

It's a good thing Kolasinac is on the bench, our defence could've been under pressure otherwise.

Defence?

[selassie]

The sad thing is I called this before the game, knew this lot would tear our defence to shreds.

[Globalgunner]

Can someone just give Iwobi an orange kit FFS!

[selassie]

We have just been second best all over the pitch, they look a yard quicker than us too.

[Globalgunner]

Koscielny with the heebee jeebeees again.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Two sure fire goals missed by Liverpool. We may only lose this by 3.

[Globalgunner]

We have just been second best all over the pitch, they look a yard quicker than us too.

Pool should have scored 3 already. The fab 4 are missing a beat or 2

[Marc Overmars]

Not even close to being a contest.

Utterly embarrassing.

[Globalgunner]

Not 1 shot on target by us so far

[Xhaka Can’t]

Only 45 minutes left to salvage our title challenge.

[selassie]

Pool should have scored 3 already. The fab 4 are missing a beat or 2

Aye, the bottom line is they are better team than us now, they are a top 4 side, we are a top 6 side.

[Globalgunner]

Did Wenger say before the game that he felt humiliated by the first game in August?. Well he hasnt seen anything yet.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Only 45 minutes left to salvage our title challenge.

For the Top 4 place?

[selassie]

For the Top 4 place?

We ain’t finishing top 4 this season, not a chance.

[Master Splinter]

Wilshere and Ozil mostly competent. Everyone around them turning haphazardness into an art form.

Why is Alexis starting games for Arsenal? Might as well play Oxlade again.

Arteta in.

[Globalgunner]

The AMN masterstroke has been brilliant so far...poor kid. He isnt even a LB. Monreal isnt a CB and heaven knows Kos is playing like he has swollen testicles.

I’ve no idea why Wenger does this? He refuses to coach Defence and then plays them all out of position at the back, he’s a lunatic!

He is a glory hound. He does it in the hope that some barmy idea works, and people can praise him as Einsteins lost relative

[Master Splinter]

Alexis is a complete joke.

There is no defending this level of contempt for your team.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

:lol:

0-2.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-2 Alexis. :wacko:

[Globalgunner]

Xhakaboooooom!!!!

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

That's why you're so rarely out of a game against us.

Forget the chances we miss, we're brittle as fuck at the back. United have a keeper where you need 18 shots to score one, with us it's three in three.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

WTF? :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

OZIL!!!!

[Globalgunner]

Ozil and Alexis..we should definitely get rid

[GP]

What the fuck! :lol:

[GP]

GREAT finish!

[Master Splinter]

Time to bring on Coquelin to close this out.

[selassie]

Nuts! This team is schizo!

[Globalgunner]

Neither team can defend

[Master Splinter]

Ozil and Alexis..we should definitely get rid

Everyone from top to bottom is culpable in the half-arsed culture of the club. Getting rid is indeed the right option.

Maybe keep Eddie.

[GP]

Carragher is fucking dreadful

[Master Splinter]

Nuts! This team is schizo!

Just two hugely flawed teams out-shitting each other.

Or Top 4 getting embarrassed by Top 6.

[Globalgunner]

Carragher is fucking dreadful

is he still playing for Pool

[Xhaka Can’t]

What in fucks name have I missed?

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

3-3.

Another ridiculous goal.

[Thierrymon]

3-3 :doh:

Terrible defending

[Xhaka Can’t]

That’s it.

I’m off again.

[Master Splinter]

:haha:

Came from Alexis losing the ball again.

[Globalgunner]

What in fucks name have I missed?

Comedy capers. Its now 3-3

[Thierrymon]

Kos :bow:

[Thierrymon]

3-3 FT

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Shit result really.

[Master Splinter]

Farce.

This will soon take the place of all those Only Fools And Horses Christmas repeats.

Liverpool :haha:.

Arsenal :haha:.

[Marc Overmars]

All credit for the fightback.

Poor from Cech. Cost us the chance of winning.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Shows why both of us are good, but not good enough.

And why we'll both be scrapping for glorious top 4.

[Marc Overmars]

Shows why both of us are good, but not good enough.

And why we'll both be scrapping for the glorious 4th place.

The defending :haha:

At least you’ve only had a couple years of this.

[selassie]

We can’t possibly coach our defence, it’s actually comical. :haha:

[selassie]

Liverpool’s meltdown was hilarious too, their keeper :haha:

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

The defending :haha:

At least you’ve only had a couple years of this.

Our defence has been dodgy ever since Rafa left.

I don't even know if it's a case of them being shit, there's just no backbone.

[dostoy]

Its a good result if you consider that Arsenal were 2-0 down but a poor result when you think that Arsenal were 3-2 up, although there was still at least 30 minutes to go then.

I said on here that Arsenal would need to score at least 2 and maybe 3 goals just to get a draw, and they did get 3 goals from 2-0 down so there is credit there but they should not have been 2-0 down in the first place.

Both teams can score but cannot defend so are not good enough.

Wenger needs to do something about the defence with Mert retiring and Kos and Monreal both about 32 years old, but he probably won't.

I could not get excited even when Ozil scored to make it 3-2, I knew what was coming.

Wenger has to go but I doubt he will for a few years yet which is beyond belief and defies the limit of basic human understanding.

[Niall_Quinn]

Saw the team and switched off. No point watching. Now I see we fluked a draw and the Cunt-in-Chief will try to eek whatever shameless credit he can from it. Wanted him gone before the game. Wanted him gone after it. Cunt of a bloke.

[Cripps]

3-0

:haha:
