Morning all Ed’s and fellow gunners, reflecting on last night’s game. missed a massive opportunity to go 8 points clear. in my opinion, that Liverpool team were there for the taking. Fair play to them they came for a draw and got one. if ever a game needed a goal to spark it in to life. it was that one last night. I’m an honest fan. second half was very very poor from us. yes we gained a point but dropped two huge points. we got to dust ourselves off and move on. big improvement needed after that second half performance. I’m off to Fratton park on Sunday for cup game and I’m very much so looking forward to seeing our back up players try and impress and make a claim towards why they deserve a few more chances. on to the next one/one game at a time. COYG/VTH ?⚪️❤️.
{Ed025's Note - both teams played for a draw from the start Gabi, a borefest of the lowest quality mate, you had the chance to make a statement yesterday but blew it and bored the life out of everybody in the process..

Hi Gabi,
It wasn’t a great game and we were not up to the pace. I was afraid that the narrative to the build up of this game “Liverpool are there for the taking” will impact our performance and that’s what happened, they are a good team and wasn’t going to be as easy as everyone was talking about, including the pundits.
However, a point against Liverpool is a good point, it could have been worse, I was terrified when Szoboszlai lined up for those two free-kicks! We need to rest and get back on the pitch to win the next game, the margins are very tight but we will do it this time.

Totally agree. definitely not the best advertisement for the premier league. (probably the worst) . absolutely as dull as the weather last night. ?.

I expected Arsenal to come at us from the start but good ol' reserved Arteta came to make sure you didn't lose.
We are not at it this season and had Isak, Salah and Eki all missing to further weaken us yet you played us on our name not what was on the pitch. There was 20 mins in the first half where I thought we'd get a hiding but after that you just retreated in your shell. And it wasn't particularly great from Arsenal I just am not particularly optimistic at the minute!
City are only 6 points back with a game against you, and last night was a huge chance to put one hand on the trophy. Now I think you have given City a whiff of a chance and they may smell blood. City have chased this before so it wouldn't be surprising to see them do it again.
If you don't win it this year, I'm not sure when you do but Arteta has to be brave and take the opportunities as they come. Title races are often swung on moments, and if you took the game to us and won. Most would have considered it over.

Personally i feel liverpool have struggled against lesser opponents and low blocks this season, and are still a quality outfit - they were just as bad last year scraping scrappy wins when everyone was singing their praises. I don't enjoy this hand break football, I've fallen asleep numerous times watching us this season, but it's working pretty well thus far.
For the "best league in the world', it was a dire watch.
