Have Liverpool made any obvious signings yet that I've completely forgotten about? They look sluggish and lacking a bit of spark.

When is the last time Liverpool looked good? Feels like they've been terrible for a long while now.

Gomez has been poor since we wrapped the title up. Needs a kick up the arse.

Think that’s a bit of an exaggeration. We had a few good games post lockdown where we played well.

We have looked poor at the back for a while though.

Lacazette & Pepe in quarantine, Guendouzi is a tw*t, Sokratis just had a kid and we're trying to offload him, Martinelli out til 2021, Ozil is Ozil, Torreira on a break/trying to get sold, Mustafi injured and Willian just joined. Curious to see Martinez start though.
Appreciate the insight!
Had no idea Martinelli is out that long, what a shame, hope he recovers well.

Quarantine makes sense unfortunately, though a shame.
Guendouzi is gonna get another chance this year I heard, or do you feel that's really only due to covid?
Didn't know about Sokratis and Torreira, thought they were both somewhat rated.

Willian has just joined yes, but with his experience he could be a difference maker coming off the bench if needed, same with Ozil really.

You're the better team so far at least. pool increasing pressure now, but yet to have any real chances.

Surprised to hear that about Torreira. Thought he was doing well for Arsenal? Seems like a handy player to have and with the right coaching could be a good player.

Liverpool are missing the best player in the league so...

Perfect this. Liverpool look poor and their form behind closed doors continues and Arsenal fans will genuinely think they’ve got a shot at winning the league, which will make the future meltdowns all the better

Tyler giving this big speech about how great it is that linesman are told not to wait for VAR for offsides, just before replays shows he was wrong and Auba was on.

Surely even Ty off Arsefan tv wouldn't think they have any chance of the title :)

Whoever won the game
Not sure why Marko Grujic is not getting a look in the Liverpool midfield. With the right coaching he can be a great addition to their starting eleven.

Is it me or is Arsenal defence indeed capable of controlling the ball even under pressure?

He was getting the right coaching at Berlin and looking a really good player till he got injuried.

Saka really looks like he’ll be a top player in a couple of years. Did he recently sign a new contract?

“we beat the champions twice. Why can’t we be champions.....”

I expect something like that later if they win :lol:
