I've just watched the Premier League Champions elect at Anfield

and the way you were playing the ball today, man right into their hands. you've got a relatively static forward line in an injured torres voronin and kuyt so what do you do every time you win possession in defence or midfield? you hoof it up the pitch where their defenders can gather it with relative ease and come straight back at you again. you'd have been far better served playing some true wingers relying on Mascherano and your defence to nullify fabregas with Crouch on from the start. It's amazing that Benitez played Torres really, surely he could see in training that he was nowhere even semi near fit?
 
You what?
Arsenal were okay today, but not brilliant. It was all interchange and no product. What makes you think Man Utd don't play brilliant football?

From watching them. Unfortunately I am working in London these days so have to watch a lot of manc and chelsea games. Arsenal play miles better footy than those two.. Man U play some good footy but only against the weaker sides. Chelsea don't ping it around with the confidence that Arseanal do. Rooney and Tevez are class but Carrick and Hargreaves can't even get a game for England. And England are rubbish!!!
 
Arsenal are doing what Arsenal always do, and the same tactics that beat them in previous seasons will beat them again now, this current team isnt a patch on previous squads, they have one outstanding player in Fabergas, and the rest are not even close to the quality of players like Pires, ljunberg, vieira, Henry and Bergkamp.
In Toure they have one of the 2 best CB's in the league and in Van Persie one of the most exciting forward players. Hleb is incredibly skillful and can carve teams apart.

But I do think the team of Campbell, Vieira, Henry, Pires, Ljungberg and Bergkamp were better.

Only against the weaker sides? We can only play who's infront of us and we've beaten Tottenham and Chelsea this season. We've beaten Roma and Sporting Lisbon in the Champions League. We've scored 16 goals in 4 games.

As for Hargreaves not getting a game for England? I think you're incredibly uninformed, unaware, blind, bias or just being stupid. He has played every game for England since the World Cup bar when he's been injured of which yesterday was his first game back since a long layoff.
Arsenal don't play Football any better than us. We were quite simply the best team in the league last season (by a long way) and in the last few Premiership matches we've also been the best. We've had serious injuries this season as well as new faces.
Carrick was the lifeforce in the middle of the pitch last year for us after Christmas, his performances were World Class. He started poor this season, but after a Man of the Match performance against Chelsea (one of those 'poor teams' you were on about earlier, clearly) then a strong performance against Roma until an injury put him out.

Edit: As of only playing well against the small sides, could you please inform me of the top sides Arsenal have beaten this Premiership season?

Meanwhile, Liverpools only top performance of the season was against the side currently holding the Premiership up, Derby. So you might want to look at yourselves before commenting on only performing against rubbish sides.

ah is that Carrick who's been out injured and Hargreaves who made his 4th start for us this weekend? and the Hargreaves who will be in the next england team without any doubt if injury free. Arsenal are playing some nice football but they really weren't that amazing today they should have scored more against you but they lacked some penetration. they could well beat us next weekend but i think even arsenal fans will tell you that they'll need to up their game from how they played today. My money by the way is that come the end of the season United will have scored more goals, conceded fewer gone farther in the CL and finished higher in the prem than Arsenal. that's not dissing arsenal as i like the way they are playing football and I have a lot of respect for them, it's just how i see it.
 
also youstole i think you have to look at yourselves as to why Arsenal bossed the game today, I am happy to put money on it with you that they won't be able to go to United or Chelsea and control the game like they did today. In fact i'll wager that when United go to the Emirates next sunday we'll give them a much harder time than they had today.

I'll bet you my house, my parents house, your house and the GDP of the USA that Man Utd don't beat Arsenal on Sunday or even come close....
 
We play on Saturday......


so what do you reckon for next saturday then? hoping it'll be a good exciting game of football or reckon we'll nullify each other to some extent? i'm hoping that one team has to play at their very best to beat the other. Obviously you'll have to score 5 to beat us as us scoring 4 is now a footballing given ;)
