If Liverpool win today it will be 13 PL wins in a row (dating back from last season of course).

Last time they dropped points in the league was away to Everton on the 3rd of March.

City did extremely well to win the title really given the amount of pressure that was put on them.
Think it’s 12 league wins in a row if we win today.

So Pepe looks like another player we should have been all over but weren't.. Mane, Sanchez(back in 2014), mahrez, lucas moura and now Pepe
Take into account the context of the game and the team shape...

You play Martial or Rashford in Pepe's position and they terrorise Liverpool as well.

Exactly. This kind of game is perfect for Pepe .. and he's still fecked up the final product.

Long balls up to him with loads of space to play in, of course he should look dangerous..

should be 1:1 but liverpool will probably end up winning 4:1

They haven't played poorly, not in this one, but still... it's difficult for things to go wrong for them.

But even when they do have an off game they still win.

Happy enough. Best we’ve played here in years, had two chances that you’d hope we’d take, and Liverpool haven’t created much despite being all over us.

We’ll still lose, and potentially by a decent margin, but I’ve no complaints after that first half.

If ever a post summed up how far Arsenal have fallen.

Considering the recent hammerings we've suffered against Liverpool, I'm fairly satisfied with that. Pepe's miss could prove costly, and he is clearly still lacking sharpness. Thought we were managing the incessant pressure quite well overall, but of course we come undone by a set piece. Second half should be good.

Liverpool are super boring to watch.

Cross, cross, cross, cross, cross, cross, cross .... set piece, cross, cross cross, cross ..

Fair play, it clearly works. But I was getting real sleepy watching it.

Haven't seen him much tbf .. just thought the hype off the back of a good performance against Burnley was amusing.

Nor do I. He's obviously very quick and will be a threat in behind, but he looks erratic as hell and he should be finishing that 1 on 1 situation.

Lazy comparison but I honestly don't think he's all that dissimilar to Gervinho. A better version and he might well end up scoring a decent amount of goals. I could well be completely wrong though since it's all based on a tiny sample size, but some of the reports of clubs like Bayern doubting his ability to perform when not in space look justified so far. Especially for a player who cost 72 million.
I'm sure when he's fully fit he'll be scoring much like Aubameyang. His movement is promising.

Any one of Shaqiri Lallana Ox or Origi could make a difference in various ways when coming on

Pen but annoying that isn’t given often because players don’t fall over.

Thank feck we don't have to play Smalling (yet). Imagine the number of penalties he'd give away like these.

Luiz is genuinely one of the worst players I’ve ever seen play for several top level clubs.

David Luiz is dumb as feck shocker.

But just compare this to Martial's incident, VAR room apparently didm't think that was enough for a penalty, even though this was clear decision. :lol:
