Absolutely. Rice and Saliba were immense. Did anyone else think there was no one ahead of Salah on the breakaway? Rice didn’t come into the picture until the ball was near the 18 yd box.

bummed i missed this game

sounded like we were were playing very defensive and not much going forward

Zinny got schooled on that goal and almost gave up another

Salah tried that same move twice against Saliba and was denied

glad boys salvaged a point atleast

Saliba Gabriel and Rice saved this game for us.

Hardest away trips left this season are at Spurs and at City

We have played all top 3 home teams based on points

Rice is an absolute beast. Worth every penny.

We need a party replacement stat so we can move Kai off of the pitch. Not a huge fan of the Kai, Ø, rice trio. Feel like the whole second half Kai was no where to be found when we were possessing the ball in our defensive half, leaving no forward connections with Ø

No it was really back and forth the whole time, it could have easily been 3-3, 3-1, 1-3, etc and really should have been 2-2. Ref basically let them play and was a blast to watch. Two evenly matched teams

We could've paid double and he'd still be worth it. Huge point today.

The bigger issue is left back.

Still.

We play a guy who isn’t great at defending in defense and a guy not great at stopping shots in goal. We basically play them because they are supposedly good with the ball at their feet but both look worse with it at times than our center backs.

Zen is a very annoying player. He’s too casual at times. Yeah that works against shite teams, but not Liverpool. And he’s cost us against them twice now.

And remember when Timber came in Gabriel was benched. So we don’t know how the d would have shaped up if he was healthy.

quote:

11 - Gabriel Magalhães is the highest-scoring defender in the Premier League since he joined Arsenal in September 2020 (11 goals). His goal is Arsenal's earliest in the Premier League at Anfield (3:27). Leader.

Not only is he his replacement, he's an upgrade.

He played one half against a relegation battle team, calm down a bit

Edit: forgot he also played well in the shield against city. Still, not even 2 full matches played

Yes, but what he did against City was impressive in only his 2nd game. Zinny is our only liability defensively when he plays.

Liverpool keeping the pressure on. We need to take a full three from the Hammers.

I really like Trossard but I swear every fricking time he starts, he can't control a ball in the first half, ever.

He's had 4 loose touches already and it's been 20 minutes.

Embarrassing from West Ham, sitting everyone back from the opening kickoff.

I legit consider replacing Trossard with ESR at half time.

Not good enough today

Ball was definitely out. And agreed that Trossard is much better as a sub.
