Liverpool vs Arsenal - 31.08.2025 - KO 16:30

[21_GOONER_SALUTE]

A small thing perhaps but while I do rate Dowman, bringing a 15yo on in a game as big as that was pathetic and he rightly got made to look like a schoolboy by Kerkez

I was going to say the same thing earlier but wanted to see their take on MOTD first, which was non existent.

Honestly I do try to give Arteta the benefit of doubt and I want to really believe he has a plan and knows what he's doing, but that decision really pissed me off and made me feel like we've got a cynical human being in charge of our club.

Nwaneri was on the bench, Trossard was on the bench.

Established internationals like Gyokores and Madueke were being bullied off the ball, and the few times they got a sniff, they folded under that atmosphere......but he expected a 15 year old to come on and do what exactly? I mean what is someone who has not had an EPL shot on target suppose to do in that atmosphere??

Well if you ask me I think he was hoping for another pity party and probably a soft penalty.... whatever his thinking, it suggests to me he had no intention of winning that game honourably or properly.
