Arsenal really has the know-how and the expertise on how to be the most funniest meme in the world ….honestly you watch Arsenal and be thinking its a Monty Python sketch… they're thay bad and very funny to watch.
I think the VAR guys on united game didn’t see angle of the camera showing the tug, coz when the referee went to the monitor they didn’t show him that angle, so they got involved coz they only saw the angle of the camera showing the dive, although there was two tugs from behind
Juls is such a good analyst, so much better than Gabs.
To say Liverpool look tired, still think Arsenal have a chance of catching Liverpool. Arsenal have 53 pts from 26 matches, at this rate they will finish on 79 pts, but do we really think Arsenal I going to do better in the last 1/3 of the season, than the first 2/3. They have no strikers.
Gab is still as deluded as years back that I know him😅
Pep is overrated. That simple. This City downfall is exposing Pep for the fraud he is.
As a Liverpool fan who loves what Slot has done, it's not really fair to say he out coached Pep in this match. Liverpool basically parked the bus. We had just over 0.7 xG, which is a negligible amount higher than theirs. The difference is that we have in form players who can finish. In fairness to Slot, he knew that and counted on that being enough, but adding an extra midfielder in a tough away match when none of your strikers are firing, while brave, is not exactly a stroke of tactical genius as much as it is a sign of flexibility. When you add to it that Haaland was fit enough but said he didn't feel up to it, Pep's hands were tied, and if anything the lack of creativity and execution more or less justifies why he had to put all those attackers on. He had to take a chance at going light on defense in order to score, just like Slot had to go light on attack in order to defend deep.
Love you 2 guys. Gab, I first started watching you in the halcion days of Seria A (Van Baston, Barasi, Gazza and many more great players). Must say, you haven't aged a bit lol.
Lmao. Dip this, dip that… aren't these draws the dips???
❤
How about Salah for Ballon d’Or? He deserves to be leading the field for that award.
If teams play low block defense against Liverpool and counter attack and mark man to man, concentrate 90minutes, liverpool will not win any game. Man city doesn't play defensive.
Liverpool had a luck. They haven't been affected by many injuries like the rest of the teams.
Arsenal winning at Anfield. haahahaaaaaaaaahaha the most they could get is a draw and thats not possible..
Can really feel Gab's pain in giving Liverpool any credit haha so sad to be so bitter…..relax bro, Eagles won the superbowl, be a happier human…
Gab has the most beautifully hybrid accent I've ever heard (Julien of course has a charming French one). Could listen to them talk football for hours.
Arsenal won't win their next game, never mind all the rest.
By the time Arsenal come to anfield we’ll hopefully have won it by then!
I like how Juls is calm and collected and he just goes with the flow when his mate gets excited about things 🙂
POOR ANALYSIS
Love this show way better then the daily espn show
Gab, you're very rigid in your views, not objective. In a nutshell, bias. Try to give credit to teams and individuals when due. Take a page from Juls
I dont think this LFC squad win the PL title in 9 of the 10 previous seasons. They're just about as good, maybe a smidge better than they were last season. The top of the league has been brought down a level is what happened.
Gosh i understand the comments…gab burning with jealousy re salah and Liverpool
Pep has never built a team from scratch before.
Each team he has been had foundations. All he needed to do was add a couple of players but primarily manage and coach.
Now he has to build from the bottom
Juls has the best vintage jerseys.
Man you are a classic man
The league will be over by the time Arsenal come to Anfield.
This Gab guy and the hate for Liverpool is massive. Salty guy
Injuries is the only way liverpool can lose the title and that is a possibility with so many games left ..
Im counting nothing for granted
The way people like Jules talk, you'd swear City had to fend off loads of other great teams to win their titles. They didn't. The gulf between them and everyone else bar Liverpool and lately Arsenal was way bigger than it is between Liverpool and the other teams below them now. The teams just below top four are way better now. That's why certain teams have found it hard to win games. What's classic about Man City being miles ahead of everyone except one other team?
what are you talking about everything is down pep he makes the calls he says what players he wants every single thing is down the ball boy does not say bring who ever how can say it cant be all on pep when he was winning you were not it not all pep it was all flowers he is the best what a stupid statement to say
Hey there porky 😂😂
Gabs a total tool
Unpopular opinion but gab is the man
What does Jules smoke though
“Too much in control”
What does he even mean?
So basically slot won the premier League before Arteta 😂
Why is Chiesa not playing? Injury?
what statement united beat city at the etihad they are 1% of what they were
15 mins about how poor city are, 2 mins of how tired Liverpool were against Everton and Villa, and 1 minute of how great Salah is this season. Great analysis of the game lads .
This is all on the Referee he could stick with his decision that he made on the field
Juke knows his stuff Gabs does NOT!❌
It’s only ‘no way back’ when there is one game left and Liverpool have a 4 point lead – hate all this premature celebration rubbish
I don’t like all this talk about the title being wrapped up. Still a long way to go and now with two of our home games without Slot at the sidelines. This is far from over. Arsenal will be getting Saka back and this might get interesting over April.
Here in Iran, foreign referees were once used for the Tehran derby, but this practice was eventually discontinued. It turns out that regardless of who is officiating, whether local or foreign, managers, players, and fans remain just as vocal when their teams drop points.
Suarez year will never be beat for the fact he missed a lot of games and didnt take pens
Gab got a lot of Liverpool hate in his heart
Jules forgets his football and stats once Cristiano needs to be given applauses😅
