Loss FA Cup 3rd Round: Arsenal 0 - 2 Liverpool | Sunday 7th January | KO: 16:30 GMT | BBC One

Prediction

Arsenal 0-1 Liverpool

 

[kofigunner]

Nope. Mik’s bought the guy that missed the most chances. Who brought Kai? Who keeps favoring cr.p players while freezing out ESr and others?

Kai wasn’t the only one missing chances

 

[Let's play Aubamawang]

What a joke. Pathetic finishing, collapse in the second half. We looked worse after Nelson came off. Why keep Saka on til the end when he's playing so poorly? He needs to know he'll get subbed when he has a stinker.

2-0 is what we deserve with finishing of such poor quality. Quite what Kiwior was thinking heading the ball with the side of his head rather than getting underneath it, I'll never know.

It is a blessing given our thin squad, but it means we'll end the season trophyless in January as we aren't winning the league or CL with an attack so painfully out of form.

Props to Ode for an excellent performance bar the foul leading to the first goal. Saliba and Gabriel did well, too. Even Havertz did ok apart from where it mattered.

I think we might have scored if we swapped Nelson for Saka then replaced Saka with Martinelli. Games still last 180 minutes, right?

We were essentially playing with a handicap today, and it's about time we accepted that Saka isn't untouchable.

 

[Diesel]

Kroenkes should save money and not give a penny to Tets and Edu.

Don't want another project player for the sake of spending. We need a ready made striker who has a resume. Pay the price and stfu.

 

[Oxeki]

This is arguably Klopp's worst Liverpool team and they still made light work of us at our ground ffs.

 

[albakos]

We dominated them today, and if this is their level when they come next month, then they are in trouble.

Bro, did you watch the second half !!?

 

[BaZZe]

Hilarious seeing people trying to overexplain what our issue is when it's so simple and obvious. WE CAN'T FINISH. And it's not any individuals, the entire team seems to have developed some kind of mental block in front of goal. I don't know how you adress that sort of thing but it needs to be adressed.

 

[Mohamed7]

Not happy that we lost, but otherwise not really bothered.

We dominated them today, and if this is their level when they come next month, then they are in trouble.

What??? In trouble for what?

No way in hell we challenging for the title. We’re broken. Will be very lucky if we get to last 8 in UCL. Lucky if we finish top 3 in the league as well.

 

[NieThePiet]

You rarely get a better chance to win vs Liverpool.

he even subs in two youngsters and we still find a way to lose it.

 

[OnlyOne]

Nothing lucky, better team won. Fair play.

Disagree, ours to win.

 

[Energoto]

That was a Liverpool B side, we had a great chance. Home as well. ****ing terrible.

Well as much as it was our B side bro, but this is not an excuse. Should have finished them first half, absolutely atrocious finishing. Ode was hopeless, but Saka have been so poor with his finishing lately...

 

[A_G]

but but but Xg guys don’t worry our Xg is good

It literally proves our point, we’re creating good chances just not finishing them

 

[SA Gunner]

Bro, did you watch the second half !!?

Yes bro. We dominated them, no question about that.

Dont let the loss blind you. Liverpool had nothing today other than the OG and late finish.

 

[Gooner Zig]

This arguably Klopp's worst Liverpool team and they still made light work of us at our ground ffs.

"Light work" is overdoing it tbf.

 

[Aussie_gunner123]

Get rid of Arteta... NOW!! He is a joke to this club! If he's got any sense he'll give Saka a break, start rotating around & bring in a striker this window now.

 

[MikelHadADream]

The defensive players should be absolutely slating the attackers here. It’s unacceptable at this point.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Bro, did you watch the second half !!?

To be fair Liverpool did Improve but their best chances come from set pieces they deserve to win at the end anyways

 

[El Duderino]

Add smith Rowe to that, he should have been gone as well.

Havertz a disaster.

Another season without a trophy for this guy.

ESR I would give him a pass on he's just not fit enough to feature.

But even if that were the case, why is Mikel planning with him playing a part?

It's a bad look any way you look at it.

 

[Farzad Stoned]

Kai wasn’t the only one missing chances

Who is Saka and Martinelli’s teacher since they were boys? Who can’t after 1 year figure out how to beat the doubling of our wingers principally Saka? Who has to come up with a tactical adjustment my granny nan?

 

[Ash10]

I will never get that kiwior header btw, was he actually trying to score against us

 

[KarlAFC]

I can’t even think of a better alternative so we’ll keep him for now and hope he improves.

Klopp has shown him what a top manager is though. Adaptability is something Arteta lacks in spades and I don’t know if you can win the big trophies with out.

He won't, and in turn, we won't improve. It is what it is.
