Arsenal v Liverpool Sky Sports 1 5.30pm

Some people seem to think this is some sort of title decider, rather than between two teams who will be happy to finish in the top 4.

Bad news for Liverpool with regards to Suarez as well. He'll be really wanting to be a part of this Arsenal team you'd imagine. Could be more transfer rumblings throughout January.

I doubt it. Suarez should be aiming higher than a run of the mill top 4 side.

Arteta has been class

Was this ever a thing? Top 4 would be great for Liverpool and more than they would have hoped for at the start of the season with that squad.

Arsenal looking good. Ramsey has really stepped up around 10 levels since last year

Oh god no. If someone told me we'd be second at the end of October I'd have taken hand and all off you.

It's just hard to see us slip. But Ramsey and Ozil are a different class.

Neville spot on with MOTM candidates, has to be Arteta or Kosh.

You will rarely see a better example of the DM position then arteta today

that was some chasing back by Suarez. Would be nice to have a midfielder that could win a ball back like he just did.

I doubt he thought Liverpool would be leading the league at this stage

Poor effort from Pighead

Maybe Fergie was right. Is he a big game player?

Chelsea, Man City and Soton of course!

Arsenal are always happy to finish in the top 4.

Still got the rose tinted sunglasses on :rolleyes: - dont be afraid to point out issues with players - if managers were like u they would be out of a job

Rose tinted glasses would be me failing to see that Gerrard consistently offers very little bar a few decent passes every now and again, no matter the quality of opposition for club. All the while absolving him of any ****ing responsibility in tracking back and cover areas of the pitch where Lucas cannot. You and your fellow Lucas haters are the ones who have the rose tinted glasses on, not me. Age is no excuse if he wants to play CM.

Liverpool are exceptionally poor when not in possession, Lucas and Gerrard in particular.

Has there been a single instance in which we have won possession in the middle of the park?

Big match for them coming up next Wednesday, I suppose

Chesney has been superb today, obviously happy with the new contract!

livinginkorea

Haha nearly egg on face there

ThunbergsAreGo

That just sums that up for me, at the other end, the Szecny kick hits Giroud and goes in

Should have passed?

AHAHAHAHAHA

We win the PL and have a right decent cut at the CL if he signed in January imo. Won't happen unfortunately.

Scez is a beast.

Been excellent for the last 5 or more games the first BVB goal aside. Really seems to be maturing into a top keeper.

Xabi Alonso esque. Top quality.

Liverpool haven't played all that well but they've had some chances in this game.

Should have passed it

Alonso Rafa's biggest mistake

Great. Keep trying.

Lucas Hood

Was a difficult pass but he surely should have tried it .

Rodgers will say how brilliant the players did and kept going until the end

Why turn into **** though. It was the same with the Suarez thread.

Gerrard may offer 0/10 some games, but Lucas Liability Leiva offers -5/10 when he consistently gives the ball away in dangerous areas - doesnt have the temprement for a big game

Poor effort from Pighead

What do you mean poor effort? It wasn't a dig to be honest. Back in September I thought that there would be very little between Arsenal and Liverpool come the season's end. The point isn't that I thought Liverpool were going to win the league. It's that I didn't think Arsenal would be challenging for it.

I'd imagine Arsenal have gone up in a lot of people's estimation over the past two months. Today's game shows that there is quite a bit between the teams. I'm just speculating that this could agitate Suarez.

FearDark

Jenkinson is muck.

wandatowell

ramsey wins it back, perfect player today.

ThunbergsAreGo

Think missing Steven Gerrard was the difference today

kingshankly

Massive gulf in class

Doesn't really matter if Liverpool won't sell.

Liverpool were always outsiders for top 4 this season even with Suarez
