Will Arsenal beat Liverpool?

[Claymores]

If not they could be on the slippery Slope.

I quite like the Arshavin quote "we've no chance of winning the title playing me as centre-forward"

[30stone]

LOL.

I bloody hope we do, otherwise we will struggle to even retain 4th spot, we have been **** recently, Arshavin needs to score.


Cannot wait for 47 days when Van persie is back.

Song (my brother's ultimate idol) has been a bit sheizen too of late both for Arse and Cameroon.

[Claymores]

As I was driving Sunday I had to listen to the Chelsea game on 5 Live.

I quite liked the commentary team just after 1st goal:

"venger is now out in the technical area remonstating strongly with the 4th official"

Answer by other commentator:

"yes the 4th official probably told him he should ensure a player is on the back post for corners"

:joker:

[30stone]

Song was playing so well before he went to africa!

[Novo]

Arsenal 4-1

you heard it here first

[Claymores]

Arsenal 4-1

you heard it here first

You can get 66/1 on that at the mo even from bookies rather than exchanges. Think I'll keep my pennies and just doff my cap to you afterwards when your prediction comes in!!!!!

[HeatherTWx]

it'll be a tough game for us. It'll be a good one to watch though. Arsenal are a good team, so it could end in a draw.

[Beastie]

A draw I bet.

[Alf]

i hope so
but i predict 0-0 draw

[arista]

No.

[Alf]

the biggest and best team in liverpool will beat chelsea tonight

[Stacey.]

Liverpool ftw :)

[King Gizzard]

come on the arsenal

[King Gizzard]

and the super villa will beat united

it will be a night of shocks

[setanta]

By the way, why did they put all the poxy games on last night and then have 3 humdingers on this evening?! Terrible planning on the FA's part.

[bbfan1991]

Hopefully:).

Keeping my fingers crossed for a United win:p.

[Gemmer-x]

neh 2-1 Liverpool me thinks

[Ninastar]

neh 2-1 Liverpool me thinks

Samee!!!!

[setanta]

Who can Wenger drop Clichy for because he's been horrendous in the last two matches I've watched with Arsenal.

[Locke.]

Gibbs is second choice left back I think... not sure if he is injured or not.

And draw I think. We've never won at the emirates and without Torres I can't see us changing that tonight.

[setanta]

Yeah, thought Gibbs was all they had but I'd put anyone in ahead of him right now. He was so bad in the last game.

[arsenalforever]

well we did and we're back in the title hunt with that too

we have the easier run in and hopefully Chelsea and Utd drop points in the coming weeks

[30stone]

Well he had an absolutely quality game.. he was barely challenged and made some good interceptions and tackles. Was happy he was in the team, played very well.

But yeah the 2 games he had before were pretty awful, saying that they had been the first 2 times he had played for almost 3 months,

and gibbs is out til may.
Traore is always targeted as hes inexperienced.

[Shaun]

some great results last night :) though i reckon we'll still manage 3rd.

[Novo]

Easily, Maybe a push for the title now, your only 6 Points behind

[30stone]

Yeh perfect results for us.
I reckon we can get second if were lucky.

Only hard games (on paper) are tottenham and city...

Stoke and Biringham away won't be easy
but i see Utd and chelsea dropping points

[30stone]

Yeah, but on paper we should be able to beat them still.

[arsenalforever]

Yeah, but on paper we should be able to beat them still.

i think we're lacking Ben really getting third even second is the aim

winning the Champions league is are best aim it suits us more

i don;'t care what any Arsenal fan says but i think we need to buy big in the Summer

[30stone]

Yeah we do,

Well its likely we will buy chamakh..

Then all we need is a centre back..

As i think we need a good replacement for gallas.

[30stone]

For me we should have put a strong squad out in the f.a cup.

[arsenalforever]

Yeah we do,

Well its likely we will buy chamakh..

As i think we need a good replacement for gallas.

we need a keeper too
he's made too many mistakes Ben

we need a tough Centre Midfield


another striker too a Carlton cole would be grand

i think we need rid of Walcott hasn't proved himself a big time player

[30stone]

Keeper has been good this season for me.

Gallas has been great but, against the fast paced teams .. (chelsea, united) when they counter gallas cant keep up and we are left with 3 defenders.

Song is proving himself and getting better every season..

Wouldnt like carlton cole, i think chamakh is a better buy.

[Claymores]

As a numpty who still watches Scottish football (so can't really criticise) I used to laugh at the comparisons Wally and Henry - they always seemed about 3 billion miles apart in class.

But wally was playing up to this in interviews

[30stone]

Walcott will improve when he can get a run of games..
But like nathan says about gabby he doenst have a footballing brain..

He doesnt even use his sprints well..
Someone needs to tutor him, thats why it would have been good having henry there another year n half.

i think he do the job for a Fulham or a hull but just don't think he has it in him to be a world class player


now Ramsey and wilshire i think will become top european players

no i mean buy two of 'em
Van persie is too injury prone

Song would be a great squad player for me
we need a Essien type midfielder

Yep we need a new Centre back

He's been Hit and miss for me and for most fans
plus Wenger was looking to replace him in January

[setanta]

Clichy and Sagna are always accidents waiting to happen.

[arsenalforever]

Clichy and Sagna are always accidents waiting to happen.

they are great full backs
clichy has come back from a injury so needs time to settle back in

Van Persie when hes fit is one of the best stirkers in the world, i dont think we could afford anyone at his level.

Whos been hit and miss do you think?

Neven Subotic is who we should buy, vidic mentality, only 20 - 21..

Vermaelen and him would be amazing!

Clichy is great to, although been injured recently.

No they're not. They're average really.

we need two world class strikers really

A World Class GK, Centre Midfielder, A center back then we be a Premiership winning Team

[arsenalforever]

No they're not. They're average really.

:joker: i think you need to watch more arsenal games Setanta

[30stone]

We dont actually need to change that, look how close we are.

We need a striker and a younger centre back and we could win the pl, we could potentially win it without any new players...

Once Eduardo comes back to form.. Van Persie, Chamakh, Bendtner when he gets his match fitness back, proved last season he can score goals..

We have some class.


As for Sagna and Clichy..
Name a pair better than sagna and clichy that a team have?

[setanta]

:joker: i think you need to watch more arsenal games Setanta

I watch them all the time and their positioning is terrible on many occassions. Defensively they're weak.

[30stone]

One of them is always back if sagna goes forward clichy stays back if clichy goes forward sagna stays back, they are both attacking..

The are both great dfeenders both fast both strong..

Clichy on form no one can out run him.

[setanta]

Every goal that's been scored against them of late has involved defensive lapses on their parts.

Ben once again i see more probelms then you do but i understand what you think we need but i do think we need about 5 players of world class ability and tough ones at that to win the league.

[arsenalforever]

we lack strength really
all nice with skill but lack the toughness of a ESSien and Scott parker

[Claymores]

Put somebody on back post Monseur Venger and don't allow Song to wander about aimlessly not knowing who he's picking-up then you never allow Chelsea 1-0 last Sunday - just my view of that schoolboy error.

Absolutely. It was stupidity of the highest order. Clichy has lost the plot of late and Sagna should just do his defensive duty and forget about going forward so much.

But we're still in the title hunt

Look at your results against the big boys. Not good enough.

[arsenalforever]

Utd's results agaisn't the big boys wasn't great either and they won the title :)
they only beat Chelsea at home

[Claymores]

I think setanta has a slight point - lack of captaincy to shout at everybody who they should be picking-up on set pieces................on the Final Word, Andy Grey picked on Arshavin for 1st goal by Chelsea for wandering about like a numpty but Song should've been picked on more or coaching for having nobody on back post.

Same about 87 minutes against Liverpool - with a dodgy lead you don't kick a soft ball towards their keeper to allow Liverpool to kick the ball upfield and go try equaliser. Fine if playing silky football and going for 4-0 but Arsenal ain't in that ballpark this year.

The coaching seems amiss this year

[James]

The basic problem Arsenal has, and has had for a few years, is they don't have / won't spend as much as the rest of the top-four.

It is no co-incidence that the top-two in the league are the biggest spenders.
