Liverpool just had their lowest point in the last two years and lost in the same embarrassing fashion in those years

I feel for Arsenal, it sucks for them, but I'll take this win and run with it. I have no remorse

And giving it away right once they cross midfield. Lumping it forward to Carroll all day doesn't count for being the better side. Until the sending off Liverpool looked ragged for that stretch of the second half, they needed subs much sooner than when they used them.

The first half was a snoozer, there really wasn't anything good out there other than some crosses to Carroll who being a foot taller than Sagna you would expect to win the ball.

To be fair, they only dominated possession after the red card. Still, not like we had the side to win this game. I do think we could have gotten a draw if Wenger had been wise and taken off Frimpong. Oh well.

Until we buy someone(s), I have no hope for this season.

no. They're pretty average without him.

Enrique is a very good player though. Lucas and Downing were pretty good. Henderson over Meireles is baffling but I guess Dalglish sees something I don't.

Between the 30th minute and 60th minute, I'm pretty sure Arsenal had most of the possession. I might be wrong though. We had plenty of crosses that had no one because VP wants to play as a support striker instead of a forward. Without Frimpong's red card, 'Pool wouldn't have created anything, which says a lot about 'Pool's movement in the final third.

Arsenal's biggest problem without Cesc is that everyone now wants to start the passing moves, and no one wants to get on the end of moves. The movement from the front three was really bad, and Arshavin was terrible.

I can't wait for a Finn's report for the day. I wish we had a Finn's play by play for today

0 - The last time that Arsenal failed to score in their first two league games of the season was 42 years ago, back in 1969/70. Blunt.

I only watched the first half, but from what I watched it was even. I was feeling a little embarassed for yall that the chances weren't more dangerous and numerous.


It was even. Other than a Carroll header nothing happened for either side. It was shocking to see Liverpool a supposed top 4 side not doing anything against such inexperienced defensive players(out of positon etc).

what did he do? take off his jersey, lay it down gently, and make sweet love to the crest?

I love that shite. I wish Joleon Lescott would score a happenstance goal, like he sometimes does, then just start flashing the "V" and flipping off the opposing crowd.

I think you are. I can remember no stretch longer than 3-4 mins where Arsenal dominated possession.

I think this reinforces that we need to bring in another quality striker....
