        Was on a 7-8hr drive home and could only watch on my phone, but that’s how the game looked to me.

        They sat back and looked dangerous on the counter. One of those paid dividends, the rest were well defended.

        We were still largely wasteful in the final 3rd, but the weather didn’t look great either.

    Watching it back, Martinelli’s offside is so disappointing. You must keep yourself onside in that situation! To drop points against a team that had such little threat on goal…

    I’m gutted about the result. But I’m very concerned about our inability to create chances from open play at the minute.

    If it’s any consolation, you know that Tottenham are gonna beat Chelsea here, just cuz it’s fucking Tottenham. And that Merseyside Derby they’ve got in hand won’t be easy for Liverpool. And last season we lost this fixture.

    Already prepared to cope with another trophyless season. Takehiro will be my punching bag.

      Not sure I understand what you mean by the last part?

      If it’s to do with him being out injured so much, so was Diaby and Wilshere and they’re still beloved ex-Arsenal players who unfortunately never got the chance to reach their full potential.

      Tomiyasu is obviously in a different camp, but I don’t think he warrants taking abuse for something outside of his control. I’m sure he wants nothing more than to play and contribute to Arsenal’s success, but his body has failed him or let him down.
