It did not take a lot of thought to work out what the Arsenal starting line-up for the Premier League away clash with Liverpool would be. As soon as we heard that Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain had passed a late fitness test yesterday, Arsene Wenger’s Arsenal team almost picked itself.
Because of all the injury problems which have left the boss with little option in central midfield or the back four, Wenger has at least got two first choice full backs in Kieran Gibbs and Mathieu Debuchy, with Calum Chambers set yto partner Mertesacker in the centre of our defence.
Their biggest task today will be to keep Raheem Sterling as quiet as possible as Brendan Rodgers keeps the youngster in the centre of his attack. He is also sticking with a back three with Sakho taking the place of LOvren on the left of his back line. The Arsenal front three of Alexis, Welbeck and Giroud should be able to give them a torrid time with Cazorla providing craft and guile behind them.
Flamini and the Ox have a big job today to stop Gerrard, Henderson, Lucas and Markovic from controlling the midfield but as long as they can cope with that, Arsenal should have a much better day than the last time we were here.
Wow we even throw ball away
Air balls. Arsenal passes are ALL in the air. NO BALLS to feet.
One set of passes to feet and Giroud scores.
Ox running into traffic.
do we have substitutes?
ZONAL marking rules !!!!!!!
Poor game from alexis.
Wenger you are a complete tit
Bringing giroud off instead of wellbeck!!!
Say no fukin more
Giroud was very sick overnight. Wenger did the right thing.
But ZONAL sucks, so blame Bould.
Not sure that taking Giroud off is best. He’s fantastic at defending set pieces.
Giroud and Per are the best we have at at heading balls out the box.
I would have taken off Wellbeck.
Campbell shows why is is NOT played. Wenger sent him on to mark Sterling and he does NOT get near Raheem.
Bring On walcott pls- liverpool attacking – walcott pace
Our passing is sh1t today
The ox has done nothing all game instead of giving away the ball each time he gets it..
He’s only 21 and has been playing very well recently. He’s not doing great today but let’s not be too hard on him.
Good save by Woj
We can still lose if our players don’t wake up
Skrtel tries a bloody header
No worry we will win this game. They can keep coming but I don’t think they going to score, mark my words.
I can’t wait to see KJ’S ratings.
Gibbs and Debucy only players deserving of more than a 6
is that Flamini in a Borini kit?
i guess it was!
Like u knew he was gonna do a flamini at the end, RED CARD
Campbell in
We need to park the bus. And counter with speed.
Poor Campbell, either not on the bench or just few mins play, how he is going to gain the confident.
Did Joel ever get close to Sterling ?
Luck is shining on us. We are going to be the champion.
9 mins of extra time, no worry they dominated for the whole match and we are winning so no worry.
i dont like 9″ of defence, just dont feel rightCOYG
No problem we have been defending the whole match, they just sh+). We are the champion.
really?
as i said, not a way to finish a match,
Keystone cops
How are we still winning?
Even with 10 men they look better.
But we will take it over a Man U loss any day
Really wtf
No one on the post? Oh come on…
Liverpool deserved a draw for our shit game
F*cking disgraceful, we can’t beat big teams ever, even with the extra man.
well sh*t!
Well we draw
Hopefully.
Same old Arsenal, Wenger out
10 men out playing us. And 1 is injured.
Just 3 minutes for Fck sake
Liverpool deserve it.. We don’t deserve jack shit
Our manager is the shits for making all the wrong subs..
Kroenke – WENGER out!
10 men….!!!!!!!!!!
F*ck this team, outplayed against 10 men. Thank you Wenger for this team of titans.
MERTSACKER DUCKING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! bring theo on.
Dude, Per put some some last minute defense in there. Liverpool might have been up 3 or 4 without BFG’s long ass foot.
They deserve it… I told you that Chambers guy is not a defender.. Look at all that space our players gave Skrtl
Fcuk the ref, why send their player out.
lmfao tipical
Backing off in midfield 10 men down, were playing like pussie holes
Are we playing with ten man or Liverpool?
why we dont play this way when we were up?
Where the f*ck was Gibbs? What the hell was he doing in that corner? Absolutely nothing.
Poldi woudve scored that>
Wonder why when we down than we start to play.
F*cking pathetic, still can’t do anything against big teams, we are f*cking shit
About right from us! We deserved no more than a point today 2 shots 2 goals, we’ve been cr*p today!
What another poor away performance and no doubt Wenger will have his excuse book out already,shocking defending again !
Wenger you are to blame again !
another fine mess
Shite
Wenger will claim Liverpool is a hard place to come (which it is) but we played shite today and still lost a lead when they only had 10 men!!!
Wenger you are a sad old fool and need to go now!
