Kolasinac would struggle massively against Salah, AMN is really going to need to step up but he has the pace to stifle him.

I'd rather have Walcott playing than Iwobi. I'm not joking.

Hopefully Iwobi ends up having a blinder now.

Wheeliebin30

That defence lads.

Seriously not good.

Whatever about Kolasinac struggling is the answer really to replace him with a lesser player in AMN. Then a make shift CB with Monreal beside him, we find ourselves in the same ****e every season

That defence is hardly good enough to shut out the in-form strikers that Liverpool possess. Hope i'm very wrong but our team looks incredibly weak.

I'll be here win lose or draw. I like you lot.

Urgh. Henderson coming off has to strengthen any team.

Quazzie

10 minutes and we haven't conceded yet. That's not like us at all

I remember when we used to be a good passing team

MEGA BRO WOLF 5000

What has kolasinac done to Wenger?

Quazzie

For all his huff and puff, Sanchez is piss poor again

Soups123

We are playing with too much fear of what they might do, giving them way too much respect on our pitch. The team has a mental ceiling I worry tonight we're showing that

And then that's what happens

Brainless from Iwobi

Quazzie

Rubbish starting a 20 year old in a position he's no familiar with against a player who is on for POTY. This is the shít that happens then

Koscielny at fault with that goal

When oh when will this shít show end?? :mad:

Once again, defending the poor relation at a club once renowned as a centre of excellence in defending.

Wheeliebin30

Xhaka just stopped following coutinho.

Braindead.

Quazzie

Get Iwobi off the field FFS.

Soups123

Liverpool have us were they want us, started the game fearing them, get a goal and we are in full rabbit in headlights mode now and are open as fcuk at the back

Soups123

Iwobi is a disgrace of a footballer

x PyRo

Iwobi is talented but nowhere near ready.

As lazy and brain-dead an idiot in football today. I'm sure Gilberto and Vieira must be sick looking at what's in midfield for us at present :mad:

FixitFelix

Can we take bellerin iwobi and Sanchez off and play 3 of the young lads. Absolute dog ****e

Even Cech was ****e for the goal.

Do ye not think cech should have came and took ball and Countinho, just stood there. Deflection shouldn't have unbalanced him that much

Iwobi is not even a championship player he is way out of his depth.

I've said it a few months back. He offers absolutely nothing to us.

Tbf to him he's not going to say that himself. Other clubs have managers and apparently they step in there and prevent those players from playing.

They all look they had a massive stodgy stew before playing ball!

So slow and braindead.

And no-one to bollock them at HT

Lucky to not be 2-0 down. Bring back the old Kos.

I agree completely. It was a collective shambolic effort.

If Liverpool were any good theyd be at least 3 up.

Ridiculous from Kos.

What a bad game he's having

tayto lover

I've being saying it a lot in the last few years that our defence is pure rubbish. Wenger doesn't seem to see it though.

We've only lost one at home since April, yet the toxic regime is why Kos is playing like sh*t.

Why does Sanchez only want to pass to Bellerin?

Is he the only one who will talk to him in the dressing room?

I think he is trying to make Bellerin break his record for losing the balls the most times in a game

The funny thing is that he can do a massive cross-field kick to Bellerin, but will give away the ball trying to pass to a player within 5m.

newbie2

I don't even no why they are passing to Bellerin, he couldn't cross a T.

It's much more than defence Tayto, the whole thing is broke. Take the middle tonight Jack aside the others have been awful. Casualness throughout the team is accepted by the manager, take tonight NM, Kos, Bellerin, Iwobi, Ozil &a Xhaka none of them fear the crowd or the coach they are so in a comfort zone.

Nobody other than JW is giving 100% and they don't mind they take it tonight and work with the manager bounce back in the next game. Soft players, soft coaches and a soft club. We used to be Arsenal FC

Did Neville just say to being on Coq or Elneny? Jaysus.

Either in place of xhaka would massively improve us.

Xhaka is poison.

Hate to say it, but Jack is overrated. He can drive forward well, then do a pathetic flick of a pass behind the player he's passing to. Ramsey offers us so much more going forward, and no less defensively.

Disagree fully. But I guess it's all about opinions.

Considering Ramsey gets so much grief for straying, he gets into good goal scoring positions regularly, as well as creating chances. Jack holds much more centrally, yet our midfield still seems weak and absent most of the time.
