Liverpool Vs Arsenal

Don't want us dropping too deep, especially with Benteke on now.

Either way I certainly feel like we need a 4th.

damn heart attack icm

Need to keep the ball better, gone too long without string 4 or 5 passes together

We're The Arsenal.

By now, you should only be surprised if there are no heart attacks

It's now snowing.

Could not get a more cliched set of circumstances for Arsenal failure atm. So for the love of god please win.

Meanwhile, City have drawn at home to Everton. Spurs currently drawing at home to Leicester.

PLEASE WIN FFS

Stop saying that.

In all seriousness we desperately need a period with the ball right now.

Also Ox for crying out loud

Ox and Theo just smh

Alexis-Özil-Campbell with these two clowns on the bench please.

Theo & Ox have been hanging out with each other lately, I'm sure of it.

Said the same in Gen Section.

Oh ffs Arsenal. Just ffs.

........

FFS

with x amount of midfielders on the pitch yet no one picked up Allen ffs poor goal to concede

This game rival that Arshavin one yet ? 5 seasons of Games of Throne compressed into 90 minutes

night guys, definitely need a drink after this

Feels like a loss, that. Such a simple equaliser to concede, too. We didn't do enough to relieve the pressure in the second half with our failure to keep the ball.

Extra annoying as well with City drawing and Spurs losing.

We are so not worthy of winning the league.

Somehow, still on top of the pile, ahead of Leicester on GD.

After the way we played in the first half, a point is not the worst.

But this Liverpool squad should NOT be putting 3 past a title aspiring team.

The defending will certainly have to be tons better against Stoke on Sunday.

2 points dropped.

Should be beating this liverpool team.

This is why we need city to do worse than us. We are never winning the league letting those shitty goals in

When you look at the amount of time we gave the ball away in the second half it's not surprising that Liverpool equalized. After scoring, we struggled to keep possession for more than 5 minutes. If you keep giving the ball away, you have to do a lot of running and cover a lot of ground to retrieve it and tiredness starts to creep in. This also doesn't help the defence, can you imagine how the defenders felt tonight when the ball kept coming back at them. It's exhausting stuff, we desperately need a calm figure in midfield because there will be games where we need a bit more control like today.

Theo is hurting us at the moment, if he is not scoring. I struggle to see what he brings in to the side if not more work for the full backs ? if I was a full back I wouldn't want this guy playing in front of me ffs, not only he gives it away cheaply yet he doesn't do enough defensively. He left Monreal dealing with Clyne and Ibe all game until Arsene had to bring Campbell on the left hand side. Can't wait for Alexis to come back, I smell the bench for Theo if he doesn't get a grip

Last 20 minutes were disgusting. Cant remember us keeping the ball well at all for more than 5 seconds. We kept hoofing it up everytime a liverpool player came near us. No surprised a goal came. What I am surprised about is that it took liverpool that long.

Joel has become an immense player for us. Theo has to be benched for Sanchez. Joel can't be dropped atm

In fairness, we are relying on Flamini-Ramsey to dictate the tempo and that's probably the worst partnership we have at Arsenal as neither compliment each other.

Can't wait for Elneny, Cazorla, Coquelin and Wilshere.

Joel and Ozil coming off was the end of the little semblance of possession we had after we took the lead. Yes, they were drained but Gibbs and the Ox offered nothing in terms of launching attacks to find the 4th or just keeping the ball.

The Ox has no confidence atm, really upsetting he's failed to take the chance Alexis' absence presented him.

Joel, on the other hand,

Hope Alexis, Rosicky and Elneny in for Stoke squad. Alexis to bench Theo and make Ox unemployed ASAP.


But seriously, in all fairness, this wasn't the worst result on paper, would have taken a point before the game.

still when we were conceding those early goals i didnt see it in us to come back twice so thats positive on its own
