    Liverpool complaining about someone not getting a second yellow is absolutely hilarious.

    If Carlsberg did irony……

    I think that’s probably inevitable, Ryan. Looks like a really good signing.

    Aside from which he didn’t even make contact for his actual booking. Ridiculous decision.

    Absolutely dire game of football that, was bored for probably 80 mins of it.

    Expect Liverpool to wreck Spurs at Anfield but happy for Ange to get the win tonight and give him some breathing space.

    Evened itself out, not even any contact for his yellow. Did VVD say anything about how lucky he was to not get a yellow for the raking of his studs down Solanke’s calf?

    Liverpool's last two performances have been relatively poor, are we seeing the start af a drop off in form? Every team has a dodgy spell in a season, this might just be the start. Forest and then Brentford next in the league could be interesting.

    Good win for us and much needed. Hopefully take some pressure of Ange . 2-0 would’ve been better but still don’t expect us to get anything at Anfield. Bentancur appears to be ok. Respect to Liverpool who stopped the game straight away and both sets of medics came on to treat him.

    Possibly however I can't see Arsenal taking advantage of any blip Liverpool have.

    Not Mourinho, it’s been offered to Davide Ancelotti but he’s rejected it too.

    Not a chance. My money’s on Moyes because they won’t have to pay compensation.

    Shame, I'd love to see him back in the PL. He's actually very well suited to Arsenal - dark arts master, a complete weirdo to the media. I'd have him over Arteta every day - I rate Mourinho in the same category as Pep.

    Not much different to what we're seeing under Arteta then - difference is we might get a trophy.

    Apparently Trossard has refused his new contract and wants to leave, explains his poor performances recently. Meant to be many unhappy players with the management and style of play, which also could explain why we are playing so badly.

    Seems Agent Arteta has worked a blinder .
    Spend billions making Arsenal worse, disrupts the playing squad , gets a big payoff then pops back up to Manchester to take his role as Peps backup .
    Job done

    TBH Saliba hasn't been great so far this season although isn't yet quite bad enough to make himself the subject of a £120m bid from Man Utd.

    Re Trossard I think he threw his toys out of the pram when Arsenal rejected a bid from Saudi for him. He's declined a lot this season.

    Also I can't imagine everyone in the squad is happy with us playing a certain player who may or may not be the subject of a criminal investigation.

    Trossard has given a lot away in his body language this season; lack of effort and energy and not celebrating goals were a giveaway for me.

    Saliba is top class and would benefit any team, even the best across Europe. Botman and Saliba together at Newcastle is the thing of football wet dreams.

    Saliba wont hang about long, he will go gone the end of this season or maybe the next, he is too good to not win anything, but we should get mega money for him. He is the best CB in the world at his age, but knowing Arsenal we will let his contract run down and let him go for a free

    I think you've done OK there. I like Potter and his style. I think he'd have done well at Chelsea if they'd given him the time.

    So many hamstring pulls in the last month - something isn’t right with the way these guys are warming up.

    I think Trossard is upset because Arsenal turned down a big money move for him to Saudi.

    Re Saliba it's the usual Real Madrid tapping up shenanigans - he's not been the same player this season as he was for the last two.

    Seems like Arsenal are in for the Spanish winger Nico Williams.

    The (extra) cold weather may have an impact, plus some games have long interruptions, which might mean players cool down too rapidly.

  37. #1487
    Re Arsenal players being unhappy - I can see why it’s due to management / coaching.

    The system played is micromanaged to the Nth degree and the implementation of the rest defence style we’ve put in place is killing some of the players.

    The current system is so risk adverse it’s managed the flair and unpredictable style of seasons past.

    Unless we win some big trophies Saliba, Odegard even maybe Saka and Rice will get itchy feet - a footballers career is short and they want to win major trophies

    The way we played for the last two years compared to this year is totally different.

    You can tell from the fact fullbacks are asked to come inside to create a box and horse shoe shape

    Not sure what’s changed but we’ve gone from a quick football to trying to get complete control of the game without offering any attacks


    Perhaps the last season wobbles over the past two years where we gave up leads have got to him and he’s now gone too far the other way almost set up not to loose rather than set up to win if that makes sense.

    Kyle Walker wants out.

    Can’t be nice knowing you’ve been at fault for double figure goals this year.

    Oh no ! I must remember to boooooooooooo him next time he plays .

    17 trophies in 8 seasons. From 0 at 27 years old to today’s haul at 34.
    An integral part of the greatest team the PL has ever seen.
    Routinely pocketed the best wingers in the world,
    Clean sheet when he made his one appearance in goal.
    An absolute beast of the modern game and a wonderful family man and role model to boot. Thanks for the memories Kyle .



    Aruold will be happy as this moves him up to the second best right back in the PL now. If Tripps leaves Newcastle , he can rightly be described as the best in his last five months before upping sticks to his boyhood club Madrid.

    Brilliant! Many years ago I was at Bedlington Terriers v Colchester United in this round. Colchester had Jason Dozell in their side that day. The gap in the fence where they ran into the pitch was a mud bath and the pitch itself not much better. Bedlington won 5-0 that day.
