Arsenal isn't going to compete with City or Pool this year. This year is all about finishing top 4 and building on what was a very good summer. While City and Pool are as good as the top 2 have ever been, this is the weakest Spurs, Man U, and Chelsea have collectively been in awhile. Not finishing top 4 should put emery on a very hot seat.

Getting points away at the Etihad and Anfield will not determine whether we get top 4. Beating teams like Burnley and Newcastle and getting a result at home to Tottenham will. You can almost just disregard the pool game in terms of what it means for arsenal's season overall.

Get top 4, have another good summer, let Pep be one year closer to leaving and the Pool team get another year older with that hard pressing style, and try and make a push for the title next year or the year after

Not finishing top 4 should leave Emery with no seat.

This result was to be expected, and you are foolish if you thought Arsenal would go to Anfield and get a win. Their team is superior and the Arsenal defense is still pretty shitty. David Luiz makes two mistakes that lead to two goals. If Pepe doesn't fluff his 1v1, I think it's a different game, but I believe Liverpool would still have scored with how they were playing. I expect losses to Liverpool and City, it's the other matches that I'm more interested in seeing the progress.

Beat Spurs on Sunday and it's the best start to the season in the past few years.
