Are you new here?

We can point all we like to Liverpool not looking that great, and being lucky, but that is what champions do. they find a way to win when not playing well
One could argue that's exactly what we did at Old Trafford.

I'm disappointed that Arteta's first thought seems to be that this was a game we must not lose rather than must win.
This early in the season there are no must win games, that's why I was always OK with us having a tough start to the season. You wouldn't want this set of fixtures in the run in when, if you're in the mix, games are absolutely must win. That said, a statement win here would have been a massive boost.

I don't think we should throw in the towel this early, that would be silly. And I think HCZ writing off players this early is silly too - Gyökeres scored an excellent goal just last week.
I've never been sure Arteta can get us over the line in terms of landing the biggest trophies. I always thought this season was his last chance to prove me wrong. With the transfer window we've had it definitely is. Surely the board will lose patience with him if he still can't deliver after the way they've backed him.
