Would not put this defeat on the defence. We lost the midfield battle. Xhaka and Geun were too slow. Look at how Kante performed like a monster against this Liverpool midfield. We need serious upgrades to beat the big teams.
Looking at the response here, are we realistic in our expectation for Arsenal to roll over Pool at Anfield who has finished 27 points above us and is the European Champion.
Whatever team you field against their 1st eleven they are still going to end up dominating us and having many chances. Do i need to remind you that even Barca with Messi was blown away 4-0 by them without Salah and Firminho playing?
I do think we did well tactically by taking on pressure from them and playing on counter attack which is our best bet of scoring. There were at least 3-4 good chances, Auba, and Pepe has 2-3 chances if any of the chance had went in the game might have been much different everybody will be singing different tune.
I do think this is much improved as compared to last few years against them at Anfield which was just 1 direction of us getting bombarded by them and blown away before halftime even.
Have a feeling we will have a good season and most probably top 4 finish.
We got
Eintracht Frankfurt
Standard Liege
Vitoria SC
Good riddance monreal out
Mustafa and Ozil out please
