Honestly don't feel too bad after that, we know this team is going to suffer with a few injuries at the back. No Bellerin, no Holding and a half-fit Mustafi was always going to be too much to overcome against that team.

 

[YeahBee]

We haven't replaced Santi Cazorla imo.

And never frekkin should!

His type is obsolete

 

[arsmile]

worse than I thought it would be

it's besides the point what we do with the ball when we are that poor without it

xhaka, iwobi and AMN I thought were decent...none others

I never want to see lichsteiner again

if dropping Özil is supposed to make sure performances like that don't happen...they idea that ramsey was more effective than Özil would have been is a nonsense..ramsey ran around like an idiot doing nothing and supported precisely 0% defensively.

I really worry that emery essesntially wants 11 players who are just going to run a lot and that's his solution

it doesn't help us score...and it certainly doesn't stop us defending when you look at the disorganisation and stupidity out there today...

 

[<<reed>>]

Didn't watch the game.

Feels good man

 

[Malky]

Lichtsteiner is a Squillaci level signing. We shouldn’t be signing these bums.

We signed him for his " experience " same reason we're looking at bringing in Cahill - another waste of space. Although some already think we'll benefit from his experience.

 

[2Smokeyy]

Serious question...

Did anyone actually think that second penalty was fair? Softest penalty I’ve seen given in a while.

Those ones are hardly given in the PL.

FA want Liverpool to win the PL.

 

[Rimaal]

Thank god Sp**s lost.

Didn't watch the game.

Feels good man

@El Duderino turns out, Özil was posting as reed on here the whole time. What a plot twist.

 

[Lakersgooner24]

Only consolation is that Sp**s lost a game they should have won, whereas we lost a game we should have lost.

 

[SA Gunner]

Lets go into the January market and get some workable reinforcements.

Lets improve on our gameplay and make a dash for the top four.

Then lets review in the off season, see where we are.

 

[Gooner Zig]

Would be a dream signing tbh. What im worried about is spending 10-20m on players that are marginal upgrades/ stop gaps. Money we spent on Mustafi Sokratis Gabriel we could've bought a VVD, now we're stuck with a bunch of sub standard players

I was just about to post this.

It's infuriating. I've got nothing against Sokratis, he's decent but he isn't the level we need to take our defence up a level. He cost us £18M, that's £18M that could have gone into buying a truly top level CB. Why do we keep doing this to ourselves?

I'd rather spend all our budget on one class player than 2-3 jobbers.

 

[arsmile]

I did think at HT "I'd take 5-1"

 

[boyinneedofhumor]

Moving the goal posts again. Into the ignore bin you go.

Ok noted.

5-1 is the final score.

 

[hydrofluoric acid]

Pathetic ex

Pathetic excuse. Laca's class is clearly there to see on the pitch. No way to justify playing Iwobi over Laca.

Maybe you can fix it when you take over as manager at Arsenal when Emery is gone.

 

[NieThePiet]

Klopp bought CBs like Matip to get into the CL and improved players like Lovren massively.

We will not get an top class CB without CL.

 

[FinnGooner]

Honeymoon for Emery is over. The second half of the season will be very very difficult. Lot of the crappier teams have improved from the beginning of the season. The most worrying thing about this season is that we have made very little progress since the start of the season. There's just no balance in the team.

 

[MaraDon]

28 goals conceded at 20 games is our worst record in PL history.

 

[2Smokeyy]

Honestly don't feel too bad after that, we know this team is going to suffer with a few injuries at the back. No Bellerin, no Holding and a half-fit Mustafi was always going to be too much to overcome against that team.

I still think we would have lost this by 4+ goals had all of those players been playing.

We were riding our luck for long parts this season. With the form Liverpool were playing at they were always going to capitalise on our individual mistakes.

 

[Arsenal1508]

Klopp bought CBs like Matip to get into the EL and improved players like Lovren massively.

We will not get an top class CB without CL.

Need to target young unknowns that will play.

Emery doesn't trust the U23s.

 

[Juan Matas Beard]

I think Aldeweireld has a release close which is about £27M.
Don't know if it works for us though.

Think he’s declined a lot this year tbh.

 

[freeglennhelder2]

With a decent ref we would have only lost 4-2

Iwobi looked good I thought.

Guess paddy power was bang on at 15/2 for us to win after all.....
