Liverpool showed two years ago anyone could challenge and they have a more balanced team now. Milner adds so much and couthinho is lethal.

Not a chance your better now Niallo, Suarez, Sterling and Sturridge were immense your much more flat footed now, way too much long ball to really challenge.

No need for him there at all

Totally, he ruins the dynamic that Carra and Neville have.

Henry is practically acting like the host now rather than a pundit. Maybe that's where he'd be better off actually.

Would have been happy with a point at the start but can't help but feel that Liverpool should have had the game wrapped up by half time.

True but hard work and the right system will get you a long way.

Not finely balanced drawing games. I would never leave a game early.

Liverpool were playing down the clock, Arsenal didn't look like scoring... It was on edge alright...

I know it's early but Chelsea don't look the same and city can self destruct at anytime.

A Liverpool fan accusing another team of self destructing is a bit rich no?

Not really. Most games are done by them

Why are you trying to defend the sh*tty Arsenal fans who left the game early?

If it was 4-0 to either side, then yeah it might be acceptable to go, but at 0-0 vs Liverpool? That's a f*ckin joke.

I'd say the same if the same thing happened at Anfield btw.

Liverpool are a different team with Skrtel at the back.

Give me Toure and Lovren/Sakho all day long. :pac:

he is and has been our best CB for a few years now

I'd say he's only there to appease the Arsenal fans aggrieved at seeing only a former Utd and Liverpool player in the studio.

If I was at the game I would have left at 82, it was 0-0 nailed on.

Only one team has the ball in the back of then net kid.

Being honest, Cech, Koscielny and Sanchez are your world class players. Özil is quite sh*t; I'd rather little Phil at Liverpool than him.

Nice to see you had faith in your team

Maybe a draw was a fair result but Liverpool hanging on by their fingertips for the last 3rd of the game. A little more cutting edge and Arsenal would have been out of sight.

Interesting to see the change in tactics from Liverpool this season. Total-football-Brendan seems to have turned into Grind-it-out-Brendan. Relying on a set piece to win and then close shop.

Could be a better strategy this season...

Turtyturd

Didn't catch the game but can't help but be disappointed with that result. Should be beating teams like that.

But the plus side is The Invincibles remain unbeaten.

JustTheOne

Nothing about the offside goal.

Remember the City fans clambering back into the Etihad when they heard the screams after Aguero's goal? I'm sure plenty of those lads had the same ability aswell.

You obviously havent seen Liverpool play the past 3 years. Total football it never was.

Or the Benteke penalty. Poor analysis all around so far.

He's there because he was a world class player in the PL looking for pundit work.

The best pundits are the unbiased ones, Neville gets it Carragher not so much.

Henry was hired to improve the sky brand

Christ, I dunno about you, but I was biting my fingernails off right to the death! Both with constant Arsenal's pressing around the box, and Liverpool's break from Moreno.

I'm talking about the arsenal can't score at the moment.

You must be talking about PNE because Arsenal lost the first game.

What does he contribute to Arsenal's attack line? Sanchez, Cazorla and Ramsey are streets ahead of him. He's got decent passing skills, but he's slow, doesn't score many and when a game gets intense, he becomes anonymous.

Ozil hasn't done well at Arsenal certainly not up to his ability. Koscielny isn't top bracket either tbh.....

He's not a regular on MNF.

I'd have Koscielny as one of the top CB's in Europe tbh. He makes Mertesacker or Gabriel look much better than they are.

I think after games they usually go for match storylines, and pick a bunch of videos to support that...I am surprised they didn't show the disallowed goal when they talked about the Arsenal front 6 alright though.

I presume they still will anyway. Maybe saving it to bring up with Arsene or something.

If Liverpool had more of a cutting edge and taken there chances in the 1st half they would have been out of sight swings and roundabouts

Sure, you could say the same about Arsenal first half.

And with regards to style, still nice glimpses of 'total football' but with the long ball/target man option available, which is more unpredictable.

Carragher says Liverpool never looked like conceding in the first 3 games.

Eh they did tonight Jamie.

Yes the exact same scenario...

Soups123

Carragher is delusional' Liverpool haven't looked like conceding this season'

The had two goals conceded wrongly chalked off and Arsenal hit the post tonight

He is appalling at times he just fills space he needs to cop on or sky should move him on

That_Guy

Steve Claridge is on 5 Live slating Ozil. Such a lazy "pundit".

Yet he went on a massive rant giving out to a caller for giving out about Arsenal's style of play.

"What you on about? Look at Arsenal last week against Palace. They were creating chances galore there with great results".

Host responds.

"What about Ozil last week? He had 54 successful passes and only gave it away once."

"Yeah, but it's what he does with the ball and what he does off it. He doesn't defend"

Awful awful pundit.

Same concept, except City fans are marginally worse than Arsenal ones.

He had created so many of Arsenal's chances and attacking plays, he had great vision.

Running around like a dog in heat after the ball doesn't make you a better player
