We were pretty shit that day, not just the keeping the ball in the corner when we needed a win! Fighting amongst ourselves in platt lane i remember. Also looked like liverpool were trying to let us off the hook that day as they always did the double over us. That game was different as we were soooo poor. That was one of worst id seen us tbfWe were 2-0 down to Liverpool in the last game of the 1995/6 season, and pulled it back to 2-2 with ten minus to go, and got relegated. Did that feel like a win?
Do people not see the danger in this though? We’ve gone from needing to beat Arsenal at all costs to thinking “well, a draw is good now” and they’ve gone through the exact reverse. That change in mindset on both sides can actually make this game more difficult? Pep has had the team purring by making out that each game is win or bust. The Arsenal game would have been that too but now it isn’t. So the players need to actually show they’re unaffected by that. If we give them an inch, they’ll take a mile. We need to still play like we desperately need to win.Even a draw keeps it in our own hands.

They are out on their feet :)
Gutted to learn they got two late goals back, but completely in our hands now.
The ain't winning all of Chelsea, Brighton and Newcastle.
and Brentford, plus it gives us a bit of flexibility for the leeds and everton games before Madrid. We need to winI don't get this.. "a draw against arse will be okay now". No it won't, at this stage it's still almost a must win. One of our games in hand against Brighton away is more than difficult.
Erling Haaland up against that Arsenal defence...
Could be a blood bath.
Frankly, they deserve it after that.saints will probably go down. They’ve blown their survival chances. 3-1 with 10 mins to go ffs
