At least Madueke has tried to do something.
Merino. :haha:
Embarrassing dive.
Ref giving most things Liverpool's way ao far
0-0 HT.
We both deserve points deductions for that.
Result so far reflects the line up.
Midfield is 100% defence and no one feeding the attack.
Need Eze on for Martinelli and Odegaard on for Merino
Shite but that’s probably good for us.

Desperately in need of footballers, can't take another 45 stinkfest like that.
Calafiori our best player so far, Madueke not far off.
The rest. :lol:
Can someone remind me of the player we had that couldn't play a forward pass even if his mother's life depended on it??
Clearly Mosquera is his reincarnation.
Raya saves but spills it, Ekitike offside.
Need to make changes
Hopefully now that Liverpool have put the ball in net, it'll wake us up and we'll return the favour legally.
That's obvious to anyone, but Arteta needs Liverpool to score before he starts thinking.Quote:

This is entirely on Arteta.
Too much of a pussy I’m afraid.
We make a team so leaky at the back it’s incontinent look like Fort Knox
No courage to go and win these kind of games. If it’s not a set piece we’ve got fuck all really.
Is there a reason Arteta doesn't want to take Timber off??
Defence wasn’t the issue.Quote:

Exactly. Arteta set the team up to defend instead of attack. Liverpool have done nothing bar a good FK.Quote:

I’m saying we’ve made them look solid defensively with our utter timidityQuote:

So negative from Arteta and ceded the initiative.
I see, well yesQuote:

Absolute pussy show on our part.
Eze should have started and we should have gone on the attack for most of the game
I know we said this game wouldn’t decide the title but I think it has. Still not convinced Liverpool can retain the title with their back line but we’ve proved I think beyond any doubt that we can’t win the title with this coach. Not because of the result, but it's ridiculous when you have a side that’s conceded 6 goals in last three games and not to at least try and go for it. The only pleasure I can take from today is that with the money we’ve spent, Arteta will be gone by this time next year. The man is a Mourinho lite fraud
The game panned out exactly how we all felt it would really.
Liverpool didn’t look great either but when you have little interest in actually trying to win the game then you just leave yourself open to anything happening, which today was a worldie of a free kick.
They were absolutely happy to come away with this with a point and that’s the problem with Arteta. Can’t win the league with him, never in a million years.
Martinelli was a sham and I don't even think he did much defensively in this one, it was all Calafiori as far as I could tell.

HCZ said something earlier, before we got Eze, that team we had was good enough for Arteta to compete and signing more superstars would make no difference.
When Eze came on in the 70th min, the commentator said something I didn't even realise, this would be Eze's 3rd game against Liverpool in the last 4 outings. In the other 2 he was instrumental in great performances against Liverpool yet our manager chose to leave him on the bench till the 70th minute while the aimless track and field athlete that is Martinelli stunk up the place.
Arteta approached this game not believing he could outplay a team that has conceded 4goals in their last 2 games despite having everything any coach could dream of.
Really pathetic and small minded, and though I'm glad that we've finally got an adequate squad, I would definitely prefer a decent coach, who can play functional attractive football, with a proper winning mindset, take over this bunch.
Why are you ok that we took nothing from this game?Quote:

I get no satisfaction in being right about him, because Arsenal winning the title is more important to me than being right that Arteta is a putz
Who?
Who would you want to replace Arteta if he is sacked tomorrow?
Can all the people who want Arteta out please answer the question with a name.
He has to fucking change his mindset!Quote:

It annoys me that I can predict him so accurately that I knew this was the lineup he would play since Thursday...and I posted about it.
Once the game started and Liverpool were absolutely ordinary any decent coach would have been strategising how to win it , let alone one who needs to convince his troops that they are the best after coming 2nd 3 years in a row!
Arteta is a fucking clown and he deserves what's going to come to him after this game.
Despite that, I hope everyone laughing at him for the next week or so, gets him to change and grow a pair
Terrible starting lineup, no Nwaneri or Eze = no creativity, subs too late, Liverpool had control by then and where the fuck was Leo, the guy's scored a hatter at Anfield and doesn't get on the pitch...
That last line is exactly it, he just can't do it, no guts or positivityQuote:

Who though?Quote:

We’re supposed to be trying to win a league title but we’re relying on physicality and set pieces to give us the edge. It’s so transparent.
We will be having the same conversation after our trip to St James’ Park in a few weeks.
The name is unimportant. Who was Slot (who is Slot) a bald Dutchman who had only coached in Dutch football, now he’s an English premier league title winner, and likely going to retain the title because Guardiola looks a busted flush.
We always had a reputation for being soft and I’ll give Arteta credit, we aren’t soft anymore. But things have gone too far the other way.
Did Wenger change his ways when we lost because we were too open in games ?Quote:
