I'm not feeling entirely pessimistic about Arsenal's chances against Liverpool, so that probably means they'll lose.

However, Arsenal may have their first choice defence for the 2nd time this season, and their first choice midfield, so they should have a good chance against a Liverpool side with one eye on the Eindhoven clash.

PHB

The quadruple over Liverpool would be very impressive from Arsenal.

Added to the Double over Utd. About the only achievement gotten from this wretched season.

Come on chelski, give blackburn the power to beat united, if they win tomorrow title race is over.

BobbyD10

Charlton & West Ham double, put pressure on teams above..

KdjaCL

Crouch pool 1 up.

mike65

Interesting formation for the match. Gerrard as aux striker I guess!

Mike.

Roddy23

Bad miss from Baptista, he should have at leats hit the target. Adebayor had a bad header earlier, Liverpool playing much the better stuff.

NotWormBoy

Finally that <expletive deleted> scores a good header.

And in other news, Gillett looks bored out of his tree.

Roddy23

Thats the difference the quality of the ball into the box. 2-0 Crouch. :mad:

mike65

Great what a few weeks off can do for your game is'nt it? Mascharano having a great game too.

Mike.

Roddy23

2-0 at half time to Liverpool, and I am pretty p1ssed off. Not one shot on target for Arsenal. How bottlers like Hleb and Baptista are getting their game, I'll never know. Diaby and Clichy are playing well for Arsenal, but Liverpool's midfield are first to every tackle, and I'd fear for the second half if we don't get our act together fast.

zAbbo

Good flowing game from Liverpool.

Pepe LeFrits

Arsenal's heads are back in London. Not at the races at all.

mike65

Lehmann booked right at the end there, silly.

If this game pans out as it should from here, then it poses a few questions about how many strikers Liverpool actually need. Rafa played with two holding/passing MFers at Valencia with one striker feeding off the wing play and the attacking MFer.

Mike.

~Rebel~

I like the selection he's made, playing everyone to their strengths.

Masch and Alonso in the center with Gerrard allowed to push on. Attacking full backs (each who supplied the crosses for the goals) and 2 attacking wingers, with crouch thriving with the decent service.

Could change the formation easily putting in say Bellers for one of the wingers and playing him as a wing forward. Garcia would be perfect for this role too, and Kuyt has done it a lot in Hollands 3 man attack.

Good first half, hopefully can push on and dominate the second.

Would love to see Gonzalez push on now in the second half, show us what he can do, and do some damage haring down the wing with his pace.

Guy:Incognito

Lehmann has 6 yellows this season. :eek: How does a keeper get 6 yellows? (rhetorical question, I know he's a loon)

Shred

Although it's looking unlikely, Arsenal could very easily get back into this. But more of the same determination and discipline from the pool in the 2nd half and the points are in the bag.

Roddy23

Nice shot from Adebayor there, was hoping Diaby what crack the rebound in.

KdjaCL

3-0 now




kdjac

NotWormBoy

3-0 Agger, assist by Aurelio. Excellent. Wouldn't mind 4 now, just to get some more pride back for those other three defeats.


Cracking save by Reina too to tip it onto the post.

Roddy23

Great save from Reina. 3-0 down, and Hleb decides to shoot from outside the box. Now we know what we have to do to get him to shoot. :rolleyes:

mike65

Bah!

Mike.

smemon

without henry and more importantly vieira, arsenal are nothing.

ok, they hold onto the ball well and kock it about But they can't win it back or penetrate with it.

If arsenge wenger was at Utd or Chelsea, he'd be sacked. SAF was on the verge of being sacked after finishing 3rd and winning nothing :cool:

there's talk of JM being sacked as Chelsea are underperforming :cool:

But it seems everyone turns a blind eye to Arsenal. Nobody wants to have a pop at Wenger or lay into Arsenal. At Chelsea and Utd, even liverpool, the knives are always being sharpened.

Roddy23

The comeback is on!! Gallas, good man.

AW makes arsenal money would imagine that has something to doo with it that and they play some wonderful football.

/QUOTE]

What a crock of sh1t. We are missing Henry, vanPersie and Gilberto today. 3 players who would easily get their game for Utd. 3 players who would have a major contribution to make in any game. I don't mean to take anything away from Liverpool, as today they are playing very well.

NotWormBoy

Bleedin' hell. Crouch again. 4-1. Hat trick. Nice footwork to make the shot. Good buildup too.

KdjaCL

4-1 crouch hatrick with a superb bit of skill :eek:


81 minutes pfftt Quigley had one in 9 last night

3 first team players missing is no excuse for getting hammered and totally outclassed against your rivals.

Arsenal play fantastic - on the ground football - the way it should be played. But they have no steel, no strength.

At least a keown, adams, vieira etc.. could command respect from the opposition. But i look at that arsenal side and there's no-one i'd fear.

There's no-one i'd back out of a 50-50 challenge with. Maybe only gilberto if he was playing.

4th place is not good enough for Arsenal. With more balls and steel, they could at least be challenging the top 2. At the minute, they're playing for champions league football.

Mossy Monk

****ing disaster. Wenger needs to sort his team out :mad:.

Shred

Fairly chuffed with that, a bit píssed of that the clean sheet was lost though.

Are these the same guys who won 6-3 against the same team awhile ago?

Arsenal have been missing three top class players: Henry, Van Persie, and Gilberto.
Basically their top two forwards and best midfielder.
Imagine Chelsea without Drogba, Shevchenko, and Lampard
Imagine United without Rooney, Saha and Scholes
Imagine Liverpool without Crouch, Kuyt, and Gerrard

While Arsenal are certainly lacking this season, you can't overlook their injuries.

---

Crouch was immense today, but I was even more impressed with the midfield. Alonso and Mascherano were incredible. Mascherano offers the same defensive abilities but is a better passer than Momo. He seems like he is starting to find his feet in the English game.
But seriously, Crouch probably played the best game of his career, it was immense.

mike65

Ah life is good!

Apart from 10 mins when Zenden was on the left but drifting inside, the Liverpool set-up was bang on the money. Mascherano is the new Didi. Great timing by Crouncinho with increased talk of a move in the summer. More of the same against PSV please.

Mike.

Good start from Blackburn against United. I'd say Hughes has told the team today that they need to get some sort of result or they can forget about qualifying for the UEFA Cup again.

As PHB alluded to, if you're gonna say things like that you can't overlook liverpool losing 3 times already to arsenal this season so it's not exactly right to base your whole judgment on the team by one match. Of course that doesn't mean arsenal weren't **** today and they still have had a disaster of a season

Raskolnikov

What's all this about Gilberto being a top class player? I'm not saying he's rubbish but he's prone to some howlers of matches at the same time.

Lemlin

Rooney just missed a second sitter in this game

Roddy23

sucker punch. C'mon Blackburn!!

besty

FFS. Blackburn 1-0 up.

Lemlin

Get in there Matty Derbyshire!

Forget Franny Jeffers Wenger, this lad is a true fox in the box!

MisterAnarchy

I had a bad feeling about todays match and Utd are living up to it.
Playing woeful stuff and Vidic out for months.

PHB

Rooney really should have put United two up. Realistically though, he can't miss another chance like that, can he :P

Problem with United is that Saha isn't back, we are still really missing him. Vidic out is a major major major major major blow

The change that Fergie will make will be Park for Ole, the question is do you bring him on right now, or do you wait until the 70th minute to see how things go?
I'd bring him on now myself, we gotta win this.

mike65

I like the way Roooooooooney missed twice after the whistle went!

Mike.
