How exactly is it a free hit.
Since the turn of the year both teams have played 8 league games and theyâve picked up one more point than us, 16 versus 17.
Fixtures were pretty evenly matched but Iâd say we had a slightly harder time given two big derbys and then Forest, Bournemouth and Villa all away. Meanwhile they did play City but played their local derby and Villa at home.
Whilst thatâs their first loss in a while theyâre not really closing that gap to any great degree. Weâve a couple tough games in our next two but theyâve got Forest, United and Chelsea in their next three. I wouldnât be putting my mortgage on them coming out of those with nine points.
Just win tomorrow and a wobble from them at Forest could well see the wheels come off.
Everyone expected a Arsenal win at home vs a team 5th from bottom, and hoped maybe, just maybe if the gods were smiling, a draw and two dropped points.
Only the habitual bedwetters would.
My mummy said itâs nothing to be ashamed of.
The wheels have already come off. They werenât even at the races today.
I still donât see how its a free hit Arsenal would still have a game in hand.
They were same last week but winning with 2 late goals covered it up.
One point is fine
Haaland in or out tomorrow?
In of courseâŠMe thinks Peppy protesteth too muchâŠon the state of the playerâŠ
This is a chance to smother Arsenalâs last hopes of a title charge. Pressure may have been relieved going into this match, but Arsenal are mentally fragile⊠lets put them out of their misery. For a bit of extra motivation, it would be nice to go to the Etihad put them in their place on the march to #20.
Iâve seen Liverpool fans across social media literally conceding the title to Arsenal this week, because Arsenal had the chance to reduce the lead to a mere five points.
I would line up as follows:
Allison
Trent Konate Virgil Tsimikas
Mac Grav
Szobo
Salah Jota Gakpo (if available)
Subs
Diaz
Chiesa
Nunez
Elliott
Quansah
Kelleher
Robbo
Endo
Hope Slotâs available for this one and not banned.
Is Jones un available for some reason?
Itâs just that heâs our best midfielder.
Huh?
Ryanâs been outstanding this season.
Huh?
Didnât say hĂ© hasnât.
I was talking about CURTIS JONES!
