Arsenal v Liverpool, 17:30 GMT (03/11) BT Sport 1

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Happy Birthday to me for this tomorrow. :sick:

I really hope we can ram this down Merse's stupid face. He has been a little bit disgrace over the last 2 weeks or so. As Countdown would say, an absolute cum pigeon.

On Merse he said he would be shocked if Liverpool don't win by three clear goals...predicts a 1-3. :doh:

[Marc Overmars]

Taking the wife to this one. Love taking her up the arse hahahaha.

Would love it if we could put a stop on this narrative about us getting shown up by the top teams. I reckon this will be another mental game like it usually is against Liverpool.

2-2.

[WMUG]

cum pigeon.



Cum Budgie, Maccy. You're better than that.

[Özim]

I'd expect us to get a draw in this game, 1-1 or 2-2 being at home.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cum Budgie, Maccy. You're better than that.

Me. :lol:

think its going to be a cracking game 3-2 us... yes I said it.. we are going to win as its going to the be first for a while where we turn up for the first half.

[Blink 1nce Quince 2wice]

Pleaseeee don't allow Mustafi to play. I think if we play decent full backs we will probably get a draw. Iwobi back out on the left, Lacazette find your magic touch again, Xhaka back into the centre.

Not going to this as I generally don't like the pricing for the category A games but if we somehow won I'd be made up and little bit gutted.

[GP]

Are any of the full backs available?

We really need Bellerin and Monreal back.

[Blink 1nce Quince 2wice]

Press conference in the coming hours as I understand but from everything going on...sounds like we're struggling at left back. I think Bellerin will probably be back though which should be a huge boost.

AMN at left back I hope as it seems to suspiciously quiet on our actual left backs. Though I am more doubtful of that having seen AMN play wide right the other day which baffled me.

[Marc Overmars]

I hate to go all Merson but I think we probably will find ourselves in trouble if Steiner is the only available fullback.

There's always Jenkinson I suppose...

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

I'd be shocked if there weren't goals in this.

0-0.

[fakeyank]

0-3 loss

Emery out

[WMUG]

What with our propensity for slow starts and Liverpool's propensity for fast ones, I fear this game being over before half time :(

[GP]

What with our propensity for slow starts and Liverpool's propensity for fast ones, I fear this game being over before half time :(

Agreed.

3-0 to the Arsenal

[LDG]

I think we ought to prepare ourselves for rape.

Anything better and we can feel pretty o.k.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

We won 1-0 according to me on FIFA 19, Auba comber.

[Mac76]

We all know Mustafi will play because Emery seems blind to his faults, same with Xhaka. Mane, Firmino and Salah are going to habe a field day.

I'd be very happy if we manage to get a draw

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bellerin and Kolasinac were in training apparently.

[Mac76]

Bellerin and Kolasinac were in training apparently.

I'd feel a lot better if they can play, if we have Lichtsteiner playing against their pace it'll be a little bit painful

[Blink 1nce Quince 2wice]

I think AMN really should be ahead of Kolasinac.

[Globalgunner]

I think AMN really should be ahead of Kolasinac.

No basis for this except you are an AMN fan. Kola is a LB and hopefully should play. AMN doesnt even want to be a LB. Hes an attacking player

[Penguin]

Yeah I was impressed by AMN at LB last season. I feel like he could make the position his own if he wanted to and really studied the role. LB is most likely his best way into othe first team at the moment.

But if his heart's set on being a CM then there's no point forcing it on him. It would be like Oxlade Chamberlain all over again.

[Blink 1nce Quince 2wice]

No basis for this except you are an AMN fan. Kola is a LB and hopefully should play. AMN doesnt even want to be a LB. Hes an attacking player

You mean apart From seeing both play at left back several times. Yes none at all.

[Globalgunner]

You have forgotten AMN having a mare at LB last season more than once. If you truly wanted whats best for him take your campaign to see him play in his preferred position.

[Mac76]

AMN is definitely an attacking midfielder for me, not a full back

[GP]

[Globalgunner]

Best team possible I guess, given that there's no shifting Xhaka or Mustafi.

Mikhi is the player who most needs to show us why he should be a starter, Iwobi blows hot and cold, Mikhi is a seasoned pro. He needs to step up.

[Globalgunner]

We need to put in bids for 2 new FBs. I like Dembele at Fulham and Wan Bussaka at Palace. Both will likely cost about 60m. Lots of potential with both

[McNamara That Ghost...]

LMAO up front. :bow:

[Mac76]

Agree on all of that, COYG

[SMatthews]

Best side that could be picked with the players available.

Biggest concern is our playing out from the back. Liverpool are the best at pressing in the league and need to be on the precise with our passing.

[Maestro]

such a massive game for us COYG

[SMatthews]

Auba starting well down the left.

[SMatthews]

Looking confident and starting strong it seems.

[Maestro]

must punish every chance here

[SMatthews]

Nice little corner routine shame about the shot

[SMatthews]

Just wide from Mikhi. Auba involved again

[Master Splinter]

Should be at least 2-0.

[GP]

Playing well, need to keep it going.

[SMatthews]

Damn that was close

[SMatthews]

Great tackle

[Master Splinter]

Xhaka :bow:.

[SMatthews]

These balls over our defence are killing us

[Maestro]

our chances have dried up a bit, need to hold off till haf time. they starting to warm up and we actually have to defend well today

[Master Splinter]

Great game tbf.

[SMatthews]

Kolas started to get exposed on the left

[Maestro]

These balls over our defence are killing us

too easy for liverpool getting them balls in

[Globalgunner]

Ozil and Mikhi need to step up. Klopp is gonna have a coronary someday.

[hobson's choice]

We've really had luck on our side this season. Other then City and Chelsea teams simply cannot convert simple chances against us.

Its like 4/5 every game

[Maestro]

Ozil and Mikhi need to step up. Klopp is gonna have a coronary someday.

true that

ozil very muted. if they continue this way i would be very happy to bring Dnny and Iwobi on for them. i think Laca, AUba, Danny and Iwobiwould destroy that liverpool defence

[GP]

Lovely football. Need to make it count!

[Maestro]

miki and ozil are really off today

[SMatthews]

Really good game so far. Matching them all the way and defending well.

[SMatthews]

Close from Laca!

[GP]

Creating good chances, need to take some

[GP]

Laca goal disallowed

[Globalgunner]

Given that we are usually better 2nd half. I'm quietly optimistic. Let's not concede first

[Maestro]

calm down Leno

[Maestro]

WTF Leno???????????

[SMatthews]

Leno should’ve done much better with that. Got away with that one.

[Maestro]

pheeww

[Globalgunner]

calm down Leno

He's a comedian.



WTF!.

Close to conceding.
0-0 HT.

[Master Splinter]

Really good game so far.

Liverpool probably had the clearer chances, but we've been the better team.

Considering Monreal and Sokratis aren't available, Id say that's pretty good overall.

Mkhitaryan should have scored and maybe Laca, but that's the best football of the season considering the opposition.

[Mac76]

Great first half, think we've defended pretty well and not been far away from scoring, just need to keep it together and be sharp when we create the next chance

Kolasinac has done pretty well and got the ball in the box a few times

[SMatthews]

I forgive Leno for that moment of madness for the way he took out Van Dyke.

[Penguin]

I forgive Leno for that moment of madness for the way he took out Van Dyke.

He chopped his head with both hands :haha: :bow:

[Penguin]

We've done okay but we need to cut out the sloppy passes. We've lost the ball a few times even when we weren't under that much pressure.

Mkhi needs to come off. Keeps losing the ball and can't be bothered to run or defend. Get Iwobi on (I'm not sure why he wasn't starting considering the form he's been in).

[Letters]

This :good:

Very happy with how we’ve played.
It’s about time we showed we can go toe to toe with “title contenders”.
Come on, Arsenal

[Master Splinter]

Fabinho is a bigger scrote than Fernandinho.

[Maestro]

Torreira is one hell of a baller

[SMatthews]

Should’ve squared it Mikhi

[Penguin]

FFS Mkhi :doh:

[Master Splinter]

Fabinho finally booked for his 45th foul.

[Maestro]

Please God let us win this game

[Globalgunner]

Honestly. Mikhi is even more of a pussy than Ozil

[Maestro]

start warming up all our attacking subs, just to push those on the pitch a bit

[SMatthews]

Leno ffs

[Master Splinter]

FFS.

[Penguin]

:(

[Maestro]

Leno been clowning all game ffs

[Letters]

Piss.

Good finishing. Not great goalkeeping

:(

[SMatthews]

Opened up there for Lucas

[Letters]

Now let’s see how we react.
Come on, Arsenal.

[KSE Comedy Club]

We were excellent defensively until that super daft move by Leno

[SMatthews]

Leno’s had one or two looney moments in most games he’s played in so far. Hopefully he learns to calm that down in time.

Iwobi on for Mikhi. He seems to play better on the right.

[Globalgunner]

Not sure I'd blame Leno entirely for that. Our defenders are always slow to react to situations. Clear the 2nd ball. We rarely do

[Penguin]

Ramsey warming up

[Penguin]

Auba off wtf?

[SMatthews]

Good save by Leno.

Auba off Ramsey on.

Auba faded after the first half.

[KSE Comedy Club]

Ffs Auba off again!!!

[KSE Comedy Club]

Ffs, Auba off again!!

[Maestro]

would be a shame to lose this, we fought hard today

[KSE Comedy Club]

We look tired up front now, no pace.

This will be a draw if we are lucky

[Letters]

Come ON!

We’ve put a few very inviting balls across, not enough attacking them.

I love Iwobi I do.

[Penguin]

Welbeck on. Come on Arsenal :pray:

[SMatthews]

Laca!!

[KSE Comedy Club]

Laca!!!!!!!!!!!

[Master Splinter]

LACAZETTE!!

[Maestro]

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SMatthews]

What a finish

[GP]

LACASHITE!!!!!

[GP]

No less than we deserve.

[Letters]

Laca! Unfortunately my stream is about a minute behind the TV channel my Gooner neighbour is watching!

:lol:

[Maestro]

that was a crazy finish, totally out of this world

[Maestro]

we need to be so defensively solid right now

[Power n Glory]

Yes... I'm following the score on here. Can't watch the game.

[Globalgunner]

Iwobi really has a poor touch for a pro footballer

[Penguin]

Iwobi has made a big difference

[SMatthews]

Emery out-Klopping Klopp

[Maestro]

Yes... I'm following the score on here. Can't watch the game.

laca just left earth with that move and finish .....he's a killer

[Letters]

Bellerin? Bell-end-erin, more like <_<

[Power n Glory]

laca just left earth with that move and finish .....he's a killer

How long left now?

[Maestro]

How long left now?

5 minutes

[Maestro]

Torreira certified baller

[SMatthews]

Holding has been bloody excellent again today.

[Maestro]

Holding has been bloody excellent again today.

second that

[KSE Comedy Club]

Where is the attacking pressure!?!

[SMatthews]

1-1. Well played.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Well done boys.

Merse. :haha:

[KSE Comedy Club]

Fuck sake.

We really need to stop the needless passing back to defence and the keeper.

Not enough attack

[AFC Leveller]

Good result, some very good play and a great goal.

Things definitely looking up.

[Maestro]

Very good performance from us. not great but very good.

Laca, Holding & Torreira the Baller were immense, real top quality

[LDG]

Good stuff. Really happy with that :cool:

[Penguin]

Well played.

The pressing was really good today. We didn't give Liverpool the chance to supply their front three.

We didn't create all that much ourselves though, I want to see more combinations and creativity in the final third.

[Master Splinter]

Holding has been bloody excellent again today.

Apart from that dodgy first half against Leicester, he's been really good.

The last time he had a run in the team at the end of 16/17, he was part of our best run until now. It's no coincidence. It has to be him and Sokratis at the moment.

[SMatthews]

They were up against one of the best defences in the league and we had a good handful of chances we could’ve taken. Thought we were effective up front, great in midfield and solid at the back.

I actually thought Mustafi was better today

[Master Splinter]

I actually thought Mustafi was better today

He does have stable games, but he intersperses them with inexplicable and unnecessary stupidity, that it's difficult to trust him.

[Blink 1nce Quince 2wice]

You have forgotten AMN having a mare at LB last season more than once. If you truly wanted whats best for him take your campaign to see him play in his preferred position.

I want what’s best for the club. He has shown to be more capable there than Litch or Kola. Simple. Not sure which part you find so hard to understand.
