Arsenal scored a goal more than Liverpool did and held the game out, they were the better team, marginally so but still better.

grow up son, goals scored doesnt mean they were the better team, jaysus my kids know that :rolleyes:

Not throwing anything out of the pram, im delighted we won the vastly more important game last week than this one.

It a 100% penalty all day everyday on any player.

This outdoor analysis with fans in the background is a really bad idea.

Liverpool should have had a peno but Sterling an Gerrard could have both been sent off as well if Webb didn't bottle it.

Better team won on the day, City Arsenal final maybe

I see the united fans were watching their man team play this afternoon, Webb

Best of luck to Arsenal in next round, we did not take our chances, you took yours, happy with our own performance, we will win most games playing as we did today. More time now to concentrate on qualifying for the CL

Last week really hurt arsenal fans didn't it. Enjoy the victory. I don't think you will get the satisfication out of liverpool fans your looking for though.

From that angle it looks like it was shoulder to shoulder and Suarez just drops theatrically.

well done Arsenal.

more clinical than us on the day.

Thought Liverpool were much the better team in the second half but the game was dead and buried until a moment of stupidity from Podoloski. Not sure we can award Liverpool the moral 'better team' victory when it was only that bit of idiocy that brought them back into it. Enjoyable game

Just look at the Fulham game it was draw but Fulham should have put them to bed. They were muck.

no, but i would ask how the hell did he do that flip, some great gymnastics in there! :eek:


seriously gutted to be out of the FA cup, but have to say im also glad we tend to sit back and get complacent after scoring big in a game so at least now they'll have the boot up their arses fighting for the PL

i don't know whats up with Suarez but i have even sold him in the Fantasy football because he is doing NOTHING lately,

today is proof, sturridge has an off game and no goal from play....

Thanx 4 The Fish

from me? i am only reacting to some of these cringe orthy liverpool fans who are reacting in a bad way to this defeat. Show class and so will i and other arsenal fans.

One pool fan i quoted has shown class and did i mock his post? no i applaud and thanked him.

Nope. You have made yourself look silly. You have made what is probably the stupidest post I have seen on this or many other threads and now you are saying that because somebody else posts something you dont like, you post without class. To quote a great man, "You stay classy".

This is a match thread, banter is fine but if you post rubbish then expect to be called on it.

No, I just take issue with that sort of theatrics.

It was a penalty for sure, I was watching the match I saw the replays. But thats the view Howard Webb, it's no wonder he is constantly having his penalty claims waved away

That propelling off his shoulder to roll further, I'd be disgusted.

What did they apologise for what was the offensive chant??

They was rubbish defensively and attacking wise.

Suarez yet again gone missing in a big game and did not deliver the goods whilst the rest of the players from Pool couldn't hit a barn door

Classic stuff motm in both games against everton, had a great game against arsenal last week and was also one of the better players at the etihad. He also ran amok against spurs.

Not really, it's all about moving on and focusing on the next match. We won today and that's all that matters, Arsenal took their chances, Liverpool didn't.

This is a boost for the team ahead of our difficult run in, if we continue to produce the goods and get three points week in and week out and get back to the top, then the 5-1 score will be quickly forgotten, it's as simple as that.

Good luck to Liverpool for the rest of the season.

Webb is blocking your view of the contact there. He kicked him and you don't see that from that gif.

ah come on, no team goes out to try and lose a game,

you know this will hurt rodgers but i think the general point made is less game distractions does us well at the moment, at least until the summer when we can add some depth to our squad,

our defense is ravaged at the moment with injuries and we don't have enough players to cover yet,

so for this year only having PL should do us good,

Lads we should give Arsenal our league titles i mean they have finished ahead of us 99 times in a row so they most have won the league those season :eek:

Demosthenese

You could see what that ment for Arsenal getting the win - it was a huge boost and they needed it going up against Bayern next week. Although i would worry for them considering Liverpool should really have scored 4-5 goals today.

Not all doom and gloom for Liverpool, it was a positive response going behind and on another day would have gotten the 2nd clear cut peno. Only pity is that it would have really setup the game nicely at 2-2.

No matter which team went through someone still has to beat City and that's where the problem lies!

Well done to Arsenal.

I'm not disputing the penalty claim, which I've said three times is a penalty.

Lads berating Webb for not giving it, when you see that, I'm surprised he didn't book Suarez.

He got enough contact to make him go down, not propel himself into the air, after he has forced himself to fall over.

Going away from goal and facing away from and theres contact from a rash challenge and you think every player but Suarez would stay up? Not a hope.

Ya but the view you showed and the view Webb had are completely different.

Gbear

Arsenal were a lot better in defence today and looked like they were all fighting for each other.

They weren't much better in attack though. Still mostly aimless against what is an atrocious Liverpool defence. Oxlade-Chamberlain was probably the only attacking player who was good.
Sanogo wasn't really all that. He looked neat and tidy but if Giroud had put in that performance nobody would even mention him.

On Webb, I don't think there's any element of bias or anything (beyond the normal giving advantage to home teams that every ref does in every game).

I think he's fundamentally a coward. Far more interested in the "spectacle" and looking good for the cameras than he is at actually applying the rules.

Sterling should've been booked, Podolski should've been booked, Gerrard should've been booked again and obviously there was the penalty.
An atrocious performance by him. But that seems to be par for the course. He mightn't be the worst ref but he's certainly the worst ref that masquerades as a decent one.


Games like last week need a few things to happen - the winning team has to be excellent and have a bit of luck and the bad team have to be ****e.

Today Arsenal weren't ****e, Liverpool weren't as good (although really it was only finishing that let us down) and Liverpool got **** luck.

That's just the way things are. Arsenal kept the game tight and gave a gutsy performance and if you do that you put yourself in a position where you can win the game. Well done to them.
It was a good honest physical battle and really, although Liverpool had chances, it was 2 stupid tackles in the box by Podolski and Oxlade Chamberlain that would've been Arsenal's downfall had they not won.
