It was against Bournemouth, to be fair. They're on fire!

Top of the form guide charts. :bow:
We've refused open invitations to ruin Spurs and United recently. I hope this won't be a third.
No doubt Oxlade and One Other will be out of the game to deplete our options to barely 10 outfield senior players. Even so, we should beat them on the basis they're actually worse than Spurs and United and we should have fucking killed those two.
They'll come at us like maniacs again from the start, but they haven't got their two most effective players from last season so if we can avoid capitulating, we should hopefully get a foothold and start controlling the game against a defence that is woeful no matter who plays. And we better test their keeper with constant shots and crosses because whoever it is, he's not very good at all.
I can see Balotelli scoring (if he is fit to play)
1-1 at best
Brad Jones is one of the poorest keepers I've seen in the league so hopefully he plays.
I think the "capitulate option" we have can be activated at any given moment, esp at a big ground where recent history isnt to kind to us. I think Liverpool are a shite side though and we really have to be worse than at Stoke to leave without at least a point. We have to start strongly and we simply cannot concede an early goal. Liverpool almost conceded to Bournemouth in the first few mins and it could have been a different game but they got the first goal and looked a lot better afterwards.
we have to stay disciplined and not lose our shape and i think we have the attacking players to test them.
head says 2-2, heart says 2-1.
I think we'll be much the better side, and lose by being incredibly stupid at key moments. In other words, the usual. Besides, if we don't kick off a Liverpool revival then who will? It's ridiculous considering the players we have, there should be any talk of any outcome other than a win. But the players don't do well in these games and the manager loses the plot completely. Our club motto should be Same Old, Same Old and Sunday will be more of it.
You cannot have confidence in any Arsenal side these days. Go into self destruct mode with alarming regularity.
