Very quick post today because I have things to do!
Big game against Liverpool this evening. Not often we have massive game on a Wednesday these days! Maybe that’s because this isn’t a massive game in the eyes of the Sky people? Or the BT People? Or the foreign TV channels!
Anyway, here are some things I’m looking forward to seeing this evening…
How is Klopp going to play?
He knows he doesn’t have the talent to beat us at our own game, as he said yesterday, he fears our possession football and the counter attack. So is he going to play deep and look to break? Is he going to bulk out his midfield and try and kick us out of the game? Is he going to take advantage of some shady performances from Bellerin of late? His plan will be interesting. He’s going to be revved up. I imagine the Liverpool players coming into the changing room with him half-naked lightly covered by a sheep skin he’s ripped from a freshly slaughtered carcass.
The madman…
How is Wenger going to play?
Does this sort of game require a nullification exercise, or is this a business as usual game for Arsene and his team of enthusiastic tacticians? We have Ozil and Flamini coming back into this mix. Is he going to go all out for pace, maybe resting Giroud? Is he going to let JC continue in the side after a few good games? It’ll be interesting to see if any special thought has gone into this evening. Wenger knows dropped points here could signal the start of a dismal run.
How is Ozil going to play?
This for me is a massive game. This is one of those games we need our star man to carry us. The atmosphere will be big, he’ll probably get a brutalising from Henderson and Lucas. How will he cope. Will he have the eye of the tiger? That’s the big question for me. Can he deal with a wet evening up north…? Post Christmas is where titles are won. It seems like we’re a long way from the end of the road, the excitement of festivities are over and legs start to feel the burn. I hope we have the best Ozil out there this evening!
Are we title contenders?
These are the games that matter. The games where champions in waiting step forward. Are the whole team up for the fight? Do they have the focus? Do they actually believe this is possible.
They should do, they are good enough. It’s all about how much they want it though.
Switch off and we’re back with the rest of them… win, and it’s about proving it all over again at the weekend.
BIG GAME.
Enjoy!
First things first … there is no team better at making others ook good than Arsenal. We always do it with teams that are struggling, make them look excellent.
Secondly, these teams we do make look good always seem to play 100% better against us. Liverpool havent been stringing passes together for weeks. They’ve been shooting all over the shop. Tonight they look decent and well drilled.
Next week they’ll play awfully again.
brilliant
What play from Joel Cambell
WTF Flamini is absolutely in no man’s land.
That’s my lad! excellent
What a pass from Campbell.
Koz at least look angry!
Out of nowhere!
Thank you Ramsey.
Hopefully that takes the wind out of Liverpool’s sails.
get in… lets get one more lads
Get In! !!!!!!!! Out of nothing. Was that JC on the assist?
Great by Campbell another great assist
Joel the boy
Really nice ball from Campbell, nice first time take from Ramsey.
Campbell ten times the player Walcott is
“It’s been all Liverpool so far. Arsenal haven’t spent a second in Liverpool’s final third.”
This according to the Guardian commentary.
Surely there is no way Liverpool can keep this up.
Did not ever think Cambell would have that vision at all. He has done it a few times so clearly aint one off
Jooooooooel!
who scored
What happened to L’oreal? Missed it,
Campbell proving himself to be very very useful….no more complaints! i don’t want to hear it!
Oh that’s typical I go for a wizz thinking nothing is happening and all of a sudden we are level.
i don’t understand some of you who still doubt Campbell and say he isn’t Arsenal quality or a top team quality. Miserable lot. The guy is doing a Coquelin!!!!
We might be level but our Midfield needs to get hold of the ball
Good old Aron !!!
Bang Bang Welsh Jesus
Nurse –
Ha ….. you won’t mind taking another one then. … now would be good.
Zeus
First time their keeper touched the ball was to pick it out the net …
Midfield in disarray
Wot an assist from JC and great near shot shot by Ramsey
1 – 1
Walcott better wakes the fuck up. He can be rubbish upfront but don’t do an OX in/near our 18 yard box. Fucking WC…..
Completely undeserved. Get in.
Right…start again arsenal ffs
Second string Liverpool giving us a taste of Barca medicine. Tsk tsk
Game is passing flamini by
Get ox on maybe ?

——————————————
I can’t drink beer that fast. I though I do try!
Another great assist by Joel
Flamini turnover
Damn.. what a Curler..
Great goal.
But Flamini sloppy in the middle. Our midfield yet again has been disgusting.
A Pool defense of Kolo and Sakho,very poor should be exploited.
Walcott is a f**king passenger in a game like this. He’s not useful in a physical combative game away from home.
For all my criticism of Welbeck, this is the type of game he starts ahead of Walcott.
We are all over the place
great goal but where the f is our midfield. Im sorry but Flamini and Ramsay as midfield pairing is a joke
Holy Crap. … who the Fuck woke up Firmino this match?
Pathetic Campbell tried to play them in twice lol.
WTF
Walcott can’t dribble out of the box, then just pass it out long or something…that goal was Walcott’s fault.
Ch ch ch ch choking …..
Midfield…midfield…midfield
Firminio having his best game.
Tis in games like this where we badly miss Coquelin. likes of Bournemouth and Newcastle at game at home are manageable but tough away games? flamini. What the effeing hell?! why do these nobodies have games of their lives against us?
F$$KIN Hell! Firminho who has been sh!!!t???
Cech wasn’t positioned properly there.
All you coquelin fans that wax lyrical and say he doesn’t need to pass like ozil etc. Watch that goal back and see Flamini fail to make a 6 yard pass to hand them possession.
Dogshite
Noooooooo. What a strike. We just didn’t clear it. All the pundits were raving about the NUFC V Man U game, this may be better.
Ramsay may have scored but his midfield contribution has been poor
This is what a coach who motivates his players can do.
Under seige.
wonder how long liverpool can keep up this tempo hopefully they tire out 2nd half and we win or draw at least
Firmino has been crap all season and then he starts turning it on against us.
We are chasing shadows.. klopps confidence and passion seems to be taking over this game.. Docking celebration for that goal..
WTF
Koz not closing down enough to block those shots. The shot was good though.
Desperately need to find another Hleb.
Ozil is useless at relieving pressure with dribbles.
You lot blaming individuals, the TEAM has been crap.
Campbell is about the only one giving a good account.
FFS Arsenal!!
“Cech wasn’t positioned properly there.”
True
Flamini is getting found out.
We are making them look like champions. Wenger get a grip you tosser
Shambolic how many times do we see this? Can’t shut the game out and regroup
Ramsey and Flamini not a good partnership…they are open in that middle
Truth be told
We look an playing like a shocking Sunday pub side …
Is this a UCL Dormund v Arsenal game?
See how we do to half time, but need to send another CM on at half time if it stays like this, every single week, talking about our open, weak central midfield.
Campbell was unfortunate there it was a deflection
Trust Firmino to come good against us not that that’s ever happened before.
Wenger spend some fucking money on some proper players.
And of course Flamini offers next tto nothing protection. Rubbish.
We are getting shredded.
We need to learn how to deal with the high press. We are missing santi and coq big time. Flamini been shown up
Everyone said they were there for the taking ….
Except no one knows what we can be like other than the supporters ,,,
Terrible useless mob we are
Damn the tempo.. mert is so slow it’s embarrassing..
Campbell couldn’t move out the way quick enough the ball defelected off him twice .
With a bid of pressing Asenal are found out every bloody time,it is pathetic.
Is Wally Wacott playing?
Yessss
Lord above
Yes!
Totally undeserved but who gives a fuck…
Yes… Giroud.. 17th goal of the season…
Ridiculous game! Loving this
Here it comes……… wheels falling off.
Is Per coping?
Should have hit that first time Ramsey
Wow….. L’oreal flick I think! Lol. What a game.
This could be 6-6.
Fuck off L’pool
2. – 2.
Giroud fr a corner….off GK’s leg hahahahah
Jesus christ how are we level?
What a fucking match.
Walcott you idiot…2-2!! Giroud
What a crazy game!
Thank you Mignolet.
High scoring game ?? I hope so.m would be fun..
Wow this game is mental
Ramsey is garbage unless he sees the ball in the last 10 yards of the pitch.
Wll done sexy man, good touch.
What a touch by Giroud
Game is so open.. wish we had Sanchez.. he would have loved to run at the defense on the counter..
WTF is going on . Liverpool is really sh.it . our Defending from midfield is sh.it.
Luckily,Pool are gifting goals left,right and centre.
Between Walcott and Ramsey, you have to tools who think they are extremely good, one of them should allowed the other to score before Girud’s goal….Ramsey needs to worry about passing and defending instead of trying to score all the goals
How did that not go in?
How did he miss that ?????
Campbell.. wow.. what a player..
We’ve scored two goals and been shit so far and what a miss by Giroud
Giroud…what the fuck
I will say one thing about arsenal…we seem to be the only club this happens to.
1) teams on a bad run turn it round against us.
2) we seem to be a team if a player needs a goal they will score against us.
I laugh at those who thought we may win the league. I’d take Chelsea over us right now.
How the fuck did L’Oreal miss that?
Fuck off
Giroud missed from 6 inches………………..
Thank God Theo can’t head a ball and missed it on the corner.
How the hell did L’oreal miss that last one? Looked a sitter.
What a miss
Could you moaners stfu and show some balls and support the team!! FFS!
Campbell…..our playmaker! Why wasn’t that a goal!!!
Open as hell
What is going on?!!! My stream goes down so I switch to another and all of a sudden we a level again! I haven’t seen either Arsenal goal yet. 🙁
Campbell is really proving himself. He may actually become this season’s Coquelin i.e. a hard to replace starter.
Great defensive clearance by Giroud
How did Giroud miss that…
Maybe the knock on his head meant that Giround lost his super powers
Giroud defending their goal well
Arsene’s Nurse
You are the jinx.
I can imagine how it would be sitting next to some of you guys in the stadium or being on the war front with some of you moaner!! COYGs!! Lets calm this thing down and smash these Pool toffs!!
Haha. Defending optional I guess. Guess that’s what you get with high pressure both ways. Open midfield.
Campbell is already our find of the season. to think if it wernt for injuries he would never have had chance at arseanal
Loyika
The fun of live commentating is that it’s filled with passion and on the spot clouded judgement.. but it’s why we all love it so much
Liverpool have lost a bit of shape and control
Looks like it. Maybe I should just switch off and go and learn how to do some knitting.
We’d win 10-2 by the time I’d made a tea cosy.
For all Giroud does. It’s those misses in his Arsenal that is the reason he will never be the striker Arsenal need
harsh to call it a shocking miss. misunderstanding between Giroud and Walcott there. Giroud anticipated and dived in half a second early
You have to wonder if Park was really shit based on Wenger’s choices…smh
Blatant penalty
Should have been a pen there Campbell was turned
Walcott is just……………
Llana you dirty cant that was a foul at a minimum
Rambo it was a bad miss come on!
For all Giroud does. It’s those misses in his Arsenal that is the reason he will never be the striker Arsenal need
That goals give us control. He should be burying those.
Campbell is a very smart player.
“Campbell is already our find of the season. to think if it wernt for injuries he would never have had chance at arsenal”
Where have I heard that before?
Joel is running the show up front….where’s Ozil??
Wow. … Pool’s corner defending is terrible. Need to take advantage again. My God , Frenetic pace. Only ten minutes left, went by fast.
Walcott is………
An enigma ?
A waste of a squad number …
Overpaid mummies boy ?
We’re playing with ten men with Walcott on the pitch he offers sod all
Klopp can be a clown ..fistpumping the air on a goal and berating fourth officials when conceding..get a grip
we should be 2-3 up…Ramsey has missed 2 sure goals as with Giroud’s
lets be honest apart from Campbell rest of team has been poor
Supporters couldn’t moan about Giroud’s miss of the year??
Giroud would have scored had he gone in with his right foot.
C’mon boys….L’pool isn’t great and we can take ’em apart.
