Hope to hear about our new left back tomorrow morning. Moron should be put in a ring full of butthurt bulls for his sins.

As negative as I'm being about Arsenal, I should congratulate Liverpool on a fully deserved win.
Some great goals, I don't think they're as good as we made them look, but they fully deserved the win.
Best of luck for the rest of the season, I think this year just might break me.

Pfff 
At HT I said that if we upped our game they were there for the taking. Even in the first half when we were terrible, we kept almost creating chances but our final touch or pass let us down. I didn't expect that start to the 2nd half though. Our attacking play at times is breathtaking - our movement and interplay now mixed with some blistering pace and power is going to cause teams so much problems.
The game should have been dead and buried at 4-1 but the goal coming straight after our 4th just gave Arsenal a lift and puts that bit of doubt in our minds with so long to go. We could have killed it again had Coutinho's hamstring not gone/hadn't got cramp. Defensively we've got to get better and smarter though and I don't just mean our back 4 - the midfield has to do more in those situations to see out the game. That said, being without at least 3 of your first choice back 5 didn't help.
Coutihno has to take MOTM but Mane was so impressive. As I said when we signed him, he gives us exactly what we've lacked. I knew he was quick but his strength and power was unreal - and what a goal.
Yea, that and him saying Arsenal don't need to rush as they still had 40 seconds left made me laugh.

I agree with everything Souness said there, it doesn't seem like Arsenal want to be the creme de la creme of football like a Madrid or a Barca.
Soldato
Still don't understand Cech for the Lalana goal.
If he just stays and covers the near post the defender will just track his run and he can't score.

Just trying to cut down the angle werent he?
Soldato
Didn't seem necessary to me it wasn't really a goal scoring chance until he decided to come off his line and close down the angle.
Soldato
He was like 6/8 yards out Lallana weren't he, he was well close.
Best post of the weekend
As an Arsenal fan today this pleases me no end.
Good overall decision for the thread/s in general though!
Soldato
Henry is basically saying without saying it literally the problem is above Wenger. It's obvious. Arsenal can't go out and spend 150/175m in a transfer window.

I wouldn't be too worried as an Arsenal fan yet.
You are missing easily your best midfielder in Ozil, most of your first choice defence and your first choice striker in Giroud. You still managed to do pretty well against an almost full strength Liverpool side.
