So one half of North London does it against the scousers so now let's hope the other half makes it 100% tomorrow. Hopefully it'll be the same score line but to us.
 
Gibbs injures himself off the pitch and comes back on to go down, expecting Liverpool to put the ball out. <doh>
Poor sportsmanship.
 
I can't believe Atkinson's just done that again. Coutinho's looking to play a quick pass and continue the break, so he stops it to book an Arsenal player.
Twice in one game? Really? <doh>
 
Did anyone else notice that Carl Jenkinson is trying to become Giroud, by the way? What's that about?
 
Well that wasn't a performance you expect from a side 2nd in the league. Fairplay to Arsenal, they were comfortable winners but Rodgers made a total mess of things, did that team really trounce West Brom last week?

Is the site playing up again? Second attempt...
 
Arsenal were in total control. Why did Wenger go all defensive?

Eh? Maybe take a look at the bench.

Players were tired, and we put in fullbacks to play as "wingers"... because they're better than Chuba Apkom and Bendtner. Nothing to do with going defensive.


It was the same reason we finished the game with so many defenders against Spurs, which AVB embarrassingly used as an argument of them being 'dominant' (lol).

Can you repeat that, I didn't catch it all.
 
I'm not sure if Liverpool are in a bit of a false position. They've lost recently to top teams ie Saints, Utd, Arsenal and even only drew with Newcastle. Yes they've thrashed mid table mediocrity and relegation threatened teams but not the top ones. Long may it continue.

Liverpool have a good strike force in front of and average midfield and slightly better than average defence, with which they will look good and trounce most of bottom 10 or 12 teams. Against the better teams their good strike force gets a lot less service, I reckon they will finish 6th or 7th.
 
What worries me after today's results is that Alan Pardew will have convinced himself he is a good manager.
