6666 1,310 Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 Fair result in the end. Liverpool's midfield was quite poor in my opinion. Xhaka & Torreira both had very good games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d seen a stat before this match, at this point last season the front 3 had scored 1 less goal than they currently had. Don’t know if that’s still true after this match.

Probably the best I’ve seen Xhaka play when he’s not playing for Switzerland & I think Torreira was your best player on the pitch. Looks like a completely different Arsenal from last season. You played with intensity and pace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaaay AFC 357 Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 I would've taken this result before the game, but disappointed not to win in the end. Emery has done a lot of great work with what he's been given. Xhaka, Torreira, Bellerin, Mustafi and Holding all superb. Not the best day at the office for our attack though, Laca with a super finish but I felt he was very poor today and Auba can't score for toffee against a decent team. Mkhitaryan awful and Özil dropping another disappointing performance much like his season so far. Overall though Liverpool probably did deserve the point with the chances they had, Van Dijk and Gomez is a monstrous partnership. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emery has been class since coming in and I kinda feel bad that he has to work with average players that Wenger brought in. You can see that we have a purpose now, as a team we look as if we know what we're doing and even when we concede it's down to individual errors, not Emery's tactics. I'll be happy when we can ship some players out and let Emery bring in his own lads. Even defensively we can see what the manager wants to do but the players just aren't good enough. On the players we have: Iwobi has looked like a world class player this season, and should probably be starting ahead of Mhki. Sokratis has been very good since coming in, and the sooner he is back, the better. Xhaka-Torreira partnership is why we have been so good. It's what we have been lacking for about a decade. We need a winger (Zaha) and a centre half badly, maybe we'll have to wait for the summer for that. I'm looking forward to seeing Bellerin-Sokratis-Koscielny-Monreal for the remainder of the season. All in all, 14 games unbeaten and in 4th place is overachieving for this squad imo I don’t think your squad is that average, but I think it was very unbalanced and last season it seemed like a lot of players were playing without purpose. Now as you say, there looks to be a lot more understanding of individual roles from players and the new signings have balanced out your midfield and defense pretty massively. I think at a minimum you’ll be hot contenders for top 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber RandoEFC+ 7,644 Posted November 3, 2018 Subscriber Share Posted November 3, 2018 So are Liverpool still exciting enough that winning trophies doesn't matter because the football is exciting?

SirBalon 2,692 Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 After the game went to watch the Barcelona v Rayo which is why I didn't comment. Not much to say other than being happy with the draw although we could've won it with a bit more luck. But it was of utmost importance not to lose against one of the real contenders for the title and that's what we managed. Onwards and upwards in terms of recovering.

But I still don't expect it to happen which means if we do manage it then it will be an amazing feat considering what we've come from and the very little change in what we have in out playing staff.

Asura 319 Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 Holding had a very good game and what a player Ibowi is turning out to be under Emery this season. Xhaka and Lacazette too have improved a lot and are looking like different players from last season. Both teams played great football and the result could have been anything but a draw seems to be a fair result given how everyone played but Liverpool a little unlucky to have their legit ruled out.

SirBalon 2,692 Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 I really hope this positive run we've had and the obvious betterment we've observed in such a short space of time gives the board confidence in Unai Emery... I'm talking in terms of really listening to him when it comes to the moment of making decisions next summer in the confectioning of the team. His style is a very particular one and not all players fit the model of football he wants the team to play. I know for a fact from watching Emery's teams all the way back to when he was the Almería coach that what he's done with this team is down to him and that there are players in our squad that he's obviously having to use that don't fit what he requires so as to get the best from his style.

The Artful Dodger 1,831 Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 People confuse media bias with just being a bigger club. Liverpool will always get more headlines and articles than Arsenal because more people are interested in them, for good and bad. The mainstream media are based in London and have zero like of Liverpool at all generally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone that knows their football properly and doesn't just think it all started with the product that is the Premeir League (in its various guises) knows Liverpool are on a whole different stratosphere to Arsenal. Although that doesn't stop Arsenal Football Club from being one of England's big clubs, much bigger than your so called big clubs because sometimes it's as if every club is a big club here in England.
