We had a higher xG than them, and should have had a penalty.
Arsenal are probably the best defensive unit in the league, so it’s no surprise that we’d struggle against them around the box. Had some good chances but just didn’t have the luck today.
We’re going to be up and down this season and that’s okay. If you can’t see we’re moving in the right direction under Iraola then maybe get down to Specsavers.
You know that, I know that, but refs have no idea
Macca definitely had one on target first half, but apparently Opta just removed it. They said just there in Sky
Should’ve been a draw at a minimum, but Arses take the three points. We need to go on a run of wins.
This stat is one of those misleading ones. A tame nothing shot into the keeper’s hands would count.
Gifted them a goal then battered them for 30 min
. One of those days we just weren’t going to score. Subs didn’t help and we trailed off after that. Ah well. Still a work in progress
BTW Macca, brilliant today
We didn’t do anything with all the possession in the first half…You cannot deny that…
However, we should improve once we sort out the RW, LB and CM.
The general direction is ok but it is kinda concerning how blunt we are in the league. When was the last time we scored 3 in the league?
Hit the crossbar…
This will sting because it feels undeserved, but maybe this team needs that lesson for them to take the next step.
We couldn’t even get a tame one into the keeper’s hand…
Very disappointing end to this important match.
First time Arsenal won at Anfield for many years. They always struggled when they came to us.
You don’t watch the game. You just stew in negativity
Disagree, we fuck around with the ball instead of shooting. A wise man said: "If you’re in the penalty area and don’t know what to do with the ball, put it in the net and we’ll discuss your options later.
Not a shot on target. It’s just not possible to win like that!
Going forward, at least Arteta will know we are getting our mojo back… might prove decisive when we meet them again later in the season
Well, that is one shot off target…
Looking at their goal, Ali gets big pelters but big Ronnie needed to be more aware of Havertz behind him, also thought Virg could have recovered quicker and gor a foot to the cross, just little things to improve on.
Macca did actually. That was the one chalked off by Opta
Such a stupid goal to concede. We tried but they defended very well.
Stone wall pen not given and soft ass foul after soft ass foul awarded to them.
Felt we atleast deserved a point.
Stupid mistakes early on that led to the goal. Our forwards have got to be more clinical in these types of games. Once Arsenal got in at half time you knew exactly how they would play in the 2nd half.
It’s a tough one to take with the momentum we were building over the last few games. That’s now 2 losses at Anfield to 2 of the ‘top 6’ in the league with our next game against one being UTD. Although calling them a top 6 club at the moment is debatable.
