Not impressed.
Alexis, hurry up coz we're barely holding on
Dire game but that's normal for this league nowadays.
Top of the league. I can live with that.

He was 95% fit today according to wenger. Should have been on the bench, bare minimum.Quote:

Top of the league. :scarf:
Having played two more away games than at home. Not bad.
Not very good, we didn't really look like mounting any sustained pressure and creating some chances. Well done to Cech for making sure of the point.
Disappointing not to win either game this week, conceding late at Anfield still feels like a kick in the guts.
If we don't beat Chelsea next week then :doh: all round.
That ref though. No words to describe his performance.
According to the stats we had 16 FKs to their 10. That can't possibly be correct.
As expected with that line up.
Two tough away fixtures, didn't deserve to win either.
Frankly if you told me a week ago we'd have got a point in both games and still been top id have taken it.
Yep! Pub performance against a Pub team! Thank god for Cech. How the fuck are we top? We need some players back ASAP.Quote:

This week could prove costly. Need some players back FFS.
Elneny MOTM.
On a normal season you'd take a point away at Stoke and Liverpool but when you want to win the league you have to win here at places like this - at least occasionally.
The worry is that we've still got to go to Man City, Everton, Utd and West Ham and we can't keep settling on a point in those otherwise we'll fade away.
It puts a tremendous amount of pressure for our next game against Chelsea, who despite their drop this season, remain a tough proposition. I just hope the likes of Alexis and Ozil are ready to go for them.
Am convinced both were fit enough to play today. Ozil's minor knock is a fig leaf for wenger resting him, thinking the team he put out would be good enough. He also said alexis was 95% fit. Why wasn't he on the bench then?Quote:

We don't go to Man City until the penultimate game of the season; so thinking of that game is an irrelevance to me now because if that game means anything, it'll most likely mean we're still in it.
I'll always take a point here given our record. Even more so it keeps us top.
Disappointing result after dropping points on Wednesday we needed to win, our lead has been eroded away and just like we have in the past we're starting to fade and with Man City winning 4-0 it's not great.
We didn't look or play like Champions, still can't see us winning it, we're dropping away when we should be turning the screw.
Good news is we have two home games more to play than City and are the most consistent team home and away in the league so far. Second most points earned for both.Quote:

Wenger pleased with the spirit, what a surprise :rolleyes:
Well we do, so I'll take the point.Quote:

Seen on its own it was a hard game and glad we got a point. without Ozil and Alexis, we need a new way to play. Ox did very well I think. He held his own against the caterpillar dozers and tried to make thinks happen. We need to manage him as he has bags of potential IMO. Pray we dont we play like crap against Chelsea then. 3 draws in a row will not be the stuff of champions
Consistency home and away means a lot for a successful campaign. City coming back are what people thought when they spanked Newcastle. It's getting as cliched as hearing that Chelsea are about to turn things around and storm the league for fourth place. The level of play in this league is shit - but you don't watch much football as you told me last week so you wouldn't know that - so I don't know why people expect us to be immune from it.Quote:

Need Ozil and Sanchez back to get us going again.
Based on what? Wenger is often criticised on here for rushing players back :shrug:Quote:

What's every feeling for Chelsea then, surely we will win? I'd be so disappointed if we didn't finally take 3 points off them.
Only watched the 2nd half TBH. What I saw he did OK. Who played well apart from Cech?
I agree, but City and Leicester haven't won away at either place although City have yet to play at Anfield.Quote:

Anything less than 3 points would be a disappointment especially if Alexis and Ozil start. Need a start like our game against Utd at home as I think defensively Chelsea are pretty vulnerable.Quote:

Generally defended well and stood up to the Beasts of No Nation. Midfield was more solid with three in there but not a lot going forward.Quote:

Theo wasn't too bright either but with him you know how can score goals and his runs are always a threat.
All in all a decent point and we are back top.
