People forget how hard it is to get anything from Anfield.Leeds are the only team to win there in the Prem this season.Even City lost there and couldn't even manage a goal.Its all about our reaction at West Ham which will carry more pressure if City beat Leicester before we kick off.Ramsdale is a beast by the way.
Martinelli’s goal was the first conceded at Anfield in the PL in 2023…it’s April 9th!!!
I honestly think if we had beaten Liverpool at Anfield we would have dropped points against a team we shouldn't be dropping points to. The thing is these players are very emotional and the high they would have gotten from that would have made them underestimate the weaker teams.
This has to be the best tactical analysis of the year
Excellent show as always lads. This was world class analysis. With thanks from a grateful gooner.
Well done Graham and James. PS, you talked me off the ledge with the point gained discussion!
Why not take of kt for Odegaard, put zinny in mf
xhaka cost us that game, bloody idiot…
BEST SHOW – 4 points from 6 – against a team who last season – were a kick, tackle and save away – from being the greatest champions in English PL history – Quadruple – is a phenomenal achievement.
Gabriel Maghaeles had a barnstorming game,but I wish that free header was to an angle,we will have been 3-1 and home
Starting to see a lot more "whatever happens come the end of the season" fans about now lol. So many can't get out this 2nd best mentality. Sad.
VVD simply didn't expect gabi to put in such an excellent cross, he probably thought we'd run it around in circle first before attacking.
Good Job to Arteta, but on the second half our players looked tired and unable to match man to man. We only needed fresh Legs.
I think Arteta should have done the 5 man substitution; Tierney for Zinchenko, Jorginho for Zhaka, Esr for Saka, Trossard for Jesus and Reis Nelson for Martinelli.
I dont believe it was a point gained, we lost two point. Arteta got his tactics off in the second half and didnt know what to do to counter the Liverpool pressure. There were some infield players who should have been removed, I think Jesus didnt need to come off because of his work rate. Arteta should take responsibility this 2point loss.
Arsenal is a class club and have done it right way and if they win the league they deserve it.
Great stuff as always chaps. A point here, at the Etihad and St James' Park, win the rest it should be fine. City have a lot of football to play, if they get to the CL final and the FA Cup final, they have a congested fixture list and the potential to drop points is certainly there. Well done again lads 👍
We need William saliba back as soon as possible
Just think about it for a second. Arsenal dominating the lions share of first half but Liverpool manage to score just before halftime. What did Klopp tell the players at ht? Liverpool had NOTHING to lose in terms of table position etc. But they had EVERYTHING to play for when it comes to the crowd. Compared to Arsenal who had the opposite situation. Many question the Kiwior subbing. Arteta needed some extra cover for all the set pieces that was given.
The Fans have to know that there will be instances where one or two mistakes will pop up on our players, and we should be ready to accomodate and back our players through these had times. No team is 100%. Thank you Mr Graham and Mr James for the comprehensive digest of the game. I really appreciate you guys for your good work. COYG!!!!
Thanks to the Arsenal fans for respecting the minutes silence for Hillsborough and also for not resorting to the vile chants that both Manchester clubs always do, classy club, classy fans hope they win the League
1st Liverpool goal is White mistake
James you are such a hypocrite while talking about Xhaka he's not to be blame OK then you trying to say he did kill the aggression smfh you need to check yourself and get some balls and blame or stand with Xhaka
James is so boring
james have u ever played a game of football, the guy smashed into xhaka, xhaka smashed back, all the team had to do was stand by xhaka and fight, its a battle, guys like xhaka are the reason wr not bullied anymore. imo the reason we got overrun was the tactics
Whether we win the league or not, finish first or second….a big shout out to Arteta and the team for an incredible job. Qualifying for Champions League was the aim which has been achieved. Anything more than that is a bonus!! Remember we're a work in progress. Trust the process!
i truly believe if wr guna play on the counter we should play a left footer on left and vice versa, that way we would be super direct , too many touches to cut in and make the perfect pass that kills the counter
James & Graham, I disagree with the points where what Xhaka do is unnecessary & riles up the fans.
Like what CAM mentioned, what Xhaka gains from there is Trent got a yellow card and he still need to fight against the in form Martinelli.
Yes you can say it riles up the fans and give the player energy. But as title contender, any away field in the league is nasty. We can't always pray for opponent to have bad day to beat them. If this bring the best Liverpool team out, it just mean that we tactically inferior to them.
If I'm Xhaka, I will choose to make Trent take yellow card again any day. Kudos to Trent keep his compose and fight back in second half.
I do feel a tad frustrated how the game went. We were in full control and the game did seem to change on the Xhaxa moment – although that may be harsh. I also feel the substitution of Kiwior was wrong. Should have taken Odegaard off for Jorginho and Zinchenko for Tierney at the same time IMO. Hopefully City drops points and/or we can snatch a win or a draw at their place. I just hope we don't lose on goal difference or a point because the VAR controversy in the Brentford game would have cost us a title. Really proud of the boys overall though and it's clear to see the trajectory that we are on is going to continue into next season, especially if we have another great window. Exciting times ahead. COYG.
Brill show love it fantastic stats and break down well done to you both you make so easy to see and hear our game plan keep up the great work it is very much appreciated 😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
two future arsenal managers here. big up james and graham. coyg ❤
James, it’s a point game considering how good Liverpool played in the 2nd half.
Spot on from James about penalties. I've seen suggestions of ex-pros in the var room which seems like a good idea
