Wenger needs time.

To pack his bags before he leaves? Rafa might go there if Newcastle's poor form continues.

That'll do nicely, Arsenal lose and it should get the our brigade nice and ramped up too.

There's always a good chance of loads of goals with these 2. Not good for the heart though. Was gloating when 4 one up. But the wife said it's not over yet you never know what will happen. Yeah yeah what do you know I said. I'm suffering now lads. I swear I'll listen to what she says in future.

If you start a match with whoever Rob Holding is, what do Arsenal expect.

Lovren is a piss poor defender and needs to be replaced
I don't know enough about matip to comment tbf

Lovren's been fantastic since Klopp took over. Different player from the Rodgers era.

I'd say because of the booing at the end of the game.

I'd argue they have every right to boo. A lot of them had reservations even befroe the game started and some were questioning Xhaka not being in the first 11.

We didn't have a full squad, and have gaping holes in the squad because Wenger won't buy. I think (and hope) that the boos were against Wenger, and not the XI that played the game. Fans are sick of paying the highest ticket prices in Europe and getting short changed by Wenger and the Board.

It's the first game in a season tbh, with a depleated team...

I fully understand where they are coming from, but at the same time it could really be a case of be careful what you wish for. More competition than ever at the top of the table though so I really have no idea where either of these team will finish up this season.

I think they're entitled to boo in fairness. Wouldn't be a fan of it myself, but Wenger is holding on way too long at this stage. He's holding the club back. They've made great strides under him and they're ready to pounce but he's holding them back.

it's why that team is deleted that they're arguing. No Ozil and no Xhaka in the startting eleven, despite both being allegedly fit.

I've read soem of the Arseanl players criticisms of Wenger and to be honest most of them seem founded at this stage.

I do want Wenger out, because he is currently in a situation at the club where he answers to no one. Since Dein left the club's transfer activity has been very poor and amateurish.

If you tell me Wenger is sacked in the morning, and I've to replace him, I'd say Mancini is a competent replacement who is available. Long term I was always an admirer of Klopp but that ship has sailed.

That scoreline flattered them.
Bar a little bit of indivdual quality from Oxlade-Chamberlain, there was almost nothing to Arsenal's play in the final third.

Getting dicked at home in the first game of the season after all the ****e that's gone on around this game with signings and players not ready for the season, furthering the idea that Wenger's Arsenal are fundamentally broken as a football team given how this keeps on happening, ought ot elicit a bit of vitriol.

They looked hugely vulnerable in the first half with even a poor Liverpool able to make chances at will, it was clear what could happen.

Arsenal were utterly atrocious. They played a few nice passes around, mostly in places where it didn't matter but they had no balls and barely seemed to give a ****e.

You shouldn't be getting thrashed like that, you shouldn't be doing it at home, you shouldn't be doing it in the first game of the season, you shouldn't bloody well be doing it again after it happened last season.

I don't support Arsenal, but I do actually quite like them, and despite them being rivals even I'm starting to get pissed off at this rubbish.

8-10

Had he started he'd have been sent off. Crazy amount of fouls after he came on where he was nowhere near the ball

Woah, I'm not one bit happy with Wenger myself at this point, but Mancini is a clown.

_Kaiser_

I don't understand myself why Wenger has been allowed stay on as long as he has given the results. I'm not saying I'd want to see a revolving door at Arsenal if results aren't immediate, but they just seem stagnant under him - and it's not really surprising. They need new ideas and blood to change and improve at this stage.

Agreed, and he certainly would be a long way down on my list for a long term replacement, but of anyone that's currently available* he's the most competent. I don't expect our next manager to be a long term replacement.

*Don't forget I did say if Wenger got sacked in the morning

all i say is careful what you wish for

Wenger looked like a broken man in that interview.

I really hope they don't sack Wenger the longer he stays the better for every other club.

I completely disagree with your Mancini shout. In no way whatsoever should he take over at Arsenal.

Arsenal should have appointed Jurgen Klopp when they had the chance. They didn't.

Arsenal should have appointed Pepe Guardiola when they had the chance. They didn't,

He looked completely defeated in that Sky interview. That's what he's putting across on the training field every day. That's the atmosphere he's unwillingly promoting.

Arsene Wenger doesn't know when to step down so the club have to allow him a dignified exit.

I'd go with Marcelino, who last managed Villarreal, ahead of Mancini. Or Pellegrini.

There is still at least a 75% chance they finish above Liverpool I reckon.

citytillidie

Same old Liverpool same defence issues, should not be 4-1 away from home and then holding out at the end, but i will take it and still 2 weeks to get someone in for left back.

Hope Klopp can be around as long as Wenger has been. It's one game Wenger will be fine as will Arsenal .
They will make a big signing before window closes.

BorneTobyWilde

Had we kept it 1-4 we'd be top?
I think so .

They will probably get top 4 again no doubt.

But the longer he stays at the club the better for when he does leave it will be chaos for years after and they may fall off the grid for years to come then.

Dunno if anyone else has mentioned this but every goal scorer apart from Coutinho is ex Southampton! - Mane, Lallana, Ox-Cham, Walcott and Chambers.

Don't know why but I think Rafa would be a good fit for Arsenal. I expected AW to move on in the summer and Newcastle's relegation to pave the way for Rafa to move to the Emirates. Arsenal are soft and ridiculously predictable under Wenger. We all know how the season will go for them; i.e. battle for CL spot, knocked out of CL after getting through the group stages. No chance in hell that they'll win the league this season.

Some volume of excellent players and managers after passing through that club over the past few years. The scouting set up and academy down there is outstanding.

After watching Liverpool today, I quickly had to have a look to see when they play Man City, because that'll be a fantastic clash of styles.

Not until December 31st
