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

Prediction

Arsenal 0-1 Liverpool

 

[MA08]

I think this defeat means we can rest our players more, only leage and CL remaining. We can sell a few fringe players and make some money.

 

[Sammy1887]

You always say stuff like this but provide no evidence

Saka is world class mate..take my words back

 

[sergio_giorgini]

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.

You don’t half chat sh!te at times. You realize they were missing 4 of their best players, right?

For most the first half they played like they didn’t even mind going out of this. Seemed like a free hit. They even brought a bunch of kids on 2nd half. Yet we still contrived to lose the game. We could’ve played 4 more hours and not put the ball in the net. How you can be optimistic after all that is baffling.

 

[Diesel]

Our attacking philosophy is fundamentally wrong. It looks unnatural.. manufactured and nothing organic. No creativity. Ode is a wimp so that doesn't help. Our trip cfs don't get balls played to them down the middle because the person supplying the ball only whips out wide where our two useless forwards do the only move they know and lose the ball

 

[bingobob]

With each season I’m thinking this more and more.

He’s pretty good (with specific circumstances) so don’t think he’ll ever be sacked but I’m starting to see the differences between him and the top managers tbh.

I've flip flopped on him so often. I think he has it but he keeps hitting the same glass ceiling. I think that's fair enough if you're Big Diego in Madrid who took his team to massive heights. For us I'm not sure early round eliminations can be accepted without some sort of oh wow moments.

 

[boonthegoon]

I can't believe so many people watch the game and then just spit out random statements based on just the result in the end.

 

[Makingtrax]

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.

The Liverpool subs today were unbelievable given Klopp was sweeping the floor from a decimated squad.

 

[HighburyHigh]

Can’t even beat their C team. Terrible

 

[Sanchez11]

Things gonna get ugly if this continues. None of them can hit a barn door ffs.

 

[GDeep™]

Disagree, ours to win.

You can’t win if you don’t score. No ifs or buts in football.

 

[blaze_of_glory]

Played extremely well, by far the better team overall. But we look absolutely hopeless in front of net and if you don't score it's' impossible to win. Not sure how they can fix that issue because every single player seems to not know how to shoot properly.

 

[kofigunner]

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?

So we excuse the professional who trains hard from doing what they are paid to do? Last season they were putting away these same chances. I’m not giving these stars a pass on this.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

The team is lacking so much confidence after one poor result is crazy that westham game basically finish them.

Pathetic bunch and we put faith so much on them but most of them are soft minded explain by how they blow the chances

 

[razörist]

Horrific finishing

No composure in front of goal

Wtf do they do in training?

 

[sergio_giorgini]

Klopp is unarguably a World Class Manager.... We have the Spanish Joey Barton....

He’s also one insufferable jammy goffy b@stad.

 

[Diesel]

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

XG is the biggest bunch of bullshit. If you think our attack looks good then we have lost it as a football fan base. Liverpool with less xg are more direct and overlapping in their attacks. They had the literal donkey Nunez go to ****ing lw and it worked? Sweet. Ben white gotta stop tanning too he looks like ****in tool. His skin looks like its gonna fall off.

 

[BaZZe]

Striker won't solve our current problems in front of goal because it's not one individual player that is struggling with finishing it's all of them.

 

[SA Gunner]

B team?
C team?

Allison
Konate
Trent
Gomes
Jones
Luis Diaz
Jota
Gapko

Missing... VVD, Salah, Endo

This is not a B or C team people. This is most of the Liverpool side that will come to the Emirates next month.

 

[Menard]

Waste of what was mostly a good-ish performance and to make it worse I had to suffer through ESPN's broadcasting team, which is firmly in the running for worst if all time.

Also can we can the "it was Liverpool's B-team!" nonsense? It was their first team minus Salah and VVD. Unless you want to say we had out b-team too since we're missing Jesus, Zinchenko, and Partey.

 

[Diesel]

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.

Lots of excuses for 5 game relegation level results stretch
