I honestly don’t think it matters what players we buy the problem lies with

Because we are playing an attack minded midfielder at right back a center half at left back and a center half who be nowhere near our starting 11. Plus our second best

You mean a manager that can set up a team to suit the players available now that would be novel. We have been dropping points all season from a winning position regardless of Nunez or whomever

Absolutely disgraceful half from erling haaland. One of his worse if not the worst

He get's away with games like this and then turns up against lower teams. Aguero was an absolute nuisance in games against top sides, win or lose, you always knew he was going to turn up

 

[ScottSinclair]

A lot better than recent months and growing into the game after an abysmal start.

But still way to cautious, they are not as comfortable defending crosses as they are made out to be

 

[Goater101]

We shouldn’t be losing. We can beat these. Get that fucking Akanji off

 

[blueballs84]

At the risk of being drawn and quartered, I'd rather the Scouse win it than Arsenal.
Something about Arsenal, their fans and general attitude in the last few years makes my blood boil even more than the bin dippers do.

 

[wattle]

We defo found a tactic v Chelsea in the second half with Gvardiol pushing up wide and going longer to Haaland. Binned that off have we?

 

[TFC]

Weak cunts. Personification of the manager. I hate to say it, but I would rather the scousers win the league than this shower every fucking day of the week.

 

[Legal Alien]

I think I would actually have Haaland off at half time.

Doing absolutely nothing and nowhere near that cross from Gvardiol.

Marmoush would given them something different to worry about, and we could put another midfielder on.

I luv Erling but i agree...put Kev on with Phil a false 9

 

[Norbert D]

I knew it was going to be one minute of injury time cos Arsenal are on the back foot. So we had one goal, one offside goal, one Odegaard pretend injury, Havertz pretend injury , Saliba pretend injury but only one minute? Fuck off.

 

[Damien10]

We ain’t even been that bad.

We gifted them all the big chances.

But one thing I will say, and that is. It’s so ponderous.

Stones and Akanji seeing far too much of the ball. And they just take to long allowing Arsenal back in.

 

[EL APACHE TEVEZ]

Very Poor I must say Haaland needs a rocket up his arse at half time

 

[elbearos]

Arse very lucky so far

 

[Ric]

Terrible start, but we've grown into the game and looked pretty decent in spells. No reason we can't get something out of this if we step it up in the second half.

 

[Keeper!]

FFs these twats are there for the taking

Anyone that ever says Ortega is better than Ederson should be banned

 

[madloaf]

Scored against arsenal last time out.

 

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

Sounds harsh, but I don’t think Marmoush has offered much other than good corners

 

[kupest]

Much better, midfield seemed to be doing better there. Actually surprised with out play, Arsenal havn't done much either

 

[Gibblue]

Feel like Haaland is trying to play it cool coz of the whole build up from last game vs these. Just battle their CBs please something might just come off.

 

[Damanino]

we need to put much more pressure on them, this is not enough.

unfortunately defence shit itself, Stones/Akanji at the goal and then we can thank Havertz missing targeet after Ortega brainfuck with that pass to Kova.

this passing under pressure at the back at all costs even when pressed man to man, only do it when we can and not when it can cost us big...

 

[super_city_si]

Think we’ve been the better team just 2 complete and utter fuckups aside.
