Where was the apology to Spurs after a penalty was given against us against Southampton with no contact. Darwin Nunez is a proper donkey in front of goal, and they paid £85m for him, madness.
If Liverpool were finishing as clinically as they were against Utd, then they could've had another 7.
That’s just what I was thinking watching it. Against Utd, their first 6 goals were from 6 shots on target. Although Arsenal did defend a lot better - and didn’t give up.
Vaguely good result for Spurs supporters I guess (increases the gap on the Poool, gives Citeh a chance to close the gap to them lot to 3 pts) .
Swings and roundabouts. We could have scored another couple goals in the first half before they halved the deficit. Ifs, buts and maybes.
In both of our hands. Just a shame City have an easy game before our match with them where they can rest their best players Shame we can't play them a few days after they play one or the bayern games.
The game should've been over in the first half, but Xhaka's an idiot. Liverpool were dead and buried, coasting to another loss without a fight. He fired them up, should've got sent off and the crowd woke up because of it. You still should've picked them off on the break, but their finishing was as woeful as your final ball.
Arsenal’s defence has looked vulnerable under pressure a few times this season - notably City at home, both games v Liverpool and Utd, but also away at Brighton and Villa before there attacking prowess got them out of trouble. Ramsdale has saved them a few times. They have comfortably beaten the sides they should be beating, but have had very open games against better opponents. They still have Newcastle away and Brighton and Chelsea at home, as well as the big game away to City. That defensive uncertainty might cost them. City must be favourites now.
They do remind me a lot of Saltypool from 4-5 years ago: if a team attacks them, rather than sits back and cowers, their defence almost look perplexed at why opposition players are coming at them and are unsure of how to handle the situation, which makes it look like the tactical plan is entirely based on monopolising the ball
Even Jamie Carragher thought he deserved to get sent off: https://www.skysports.com/watch/video/sports/football/12500335/pundits-agree-on-robertson-red They only remember it because the officials hate giving the Scouse cards.
