Has our defence got further forward than our 18 yard line yet???

Some of you might disagree but I thought that was a cowardly performance. Talk about park the bus. It was like we felt inferior and played like a bottom of the table club hoping to nick a goal on the break.

If I was Emery I would be ashamed for my team to play in such a gutless manner.

Zero composure when we do get possession under pressure.

The two Liverpool fullbacks have the freedom of the park.

The only one who looked decent was Pépé and he missed a real chance.

Ceballos is struggling. So is Pépé & Aubameyang & most of the team. Lacking confidence. Come on Emery, do your stuff.

Agree with you, very cowardly display

Should have bagged one first half.

Certainly can see your point. I was waiting for us to weather the opening salvo and then grow into the game. They weathered alright after 15 minutes or so but never got any kind of foothold. I feel like we need more in midfield on those second balls. If we could sub on good Torreira for Xhaka I’d say we need that. Ceballos has been anonymous.

Pépé should have scored- bad miss. Then fair enough Liverpool score, they deserve the lead. But we’re not finished yet, we can definitely score but we can’t go two down, so it’s a balancing act now.

I completely agree. Awful tactics from Emery and no attempt whatsoever to try and gain any kind of control of the game. Wrong starting 11 and wrong tactics. Unless he changes it, this could be a hammering.

And it is not serving any purpose. We are too slow when moving it forward.

Feel like he’s gambled a little on Ceballos putting in a possession keeping performance and playing out from the back and it hasn’t worked. I agree he needs to change something

Its all over

Hmm. If Mustafi had done that we’d have slagged him off rotten.

Luiz, you muppet!!!!

Wd are too slow in thought. They are first to loose balls.

Like Salah is through on goal 6 yards out I don’t think it made any difference

Ceballos off Toreira on.

We’re 2-0 down. Why are we still parking the bus?

I think it’s fair to say we’re still nowhere near Liverpool’s level. This could get ugly.

Was Abamayang out on the tear last night? Looks like a guy that's half asleep today. How many millions did Emery spend this summer? This shower look pretty hopeless, to be frank. Worse, they look like a team still managed by Wenger.

We were always going to look bad against a settled team that got 99 points and won the champions league. Let’s not *%^@ our pants

We are making them look good. Southampton gave then a game last week. We are giving them all the time in the world to play passes.

Ah. Unfortunately prophetic.

Ok make some subs now

Luiz is a shite defender. Always was always will be and Salah showed it in technicolor.

And that's 3 nil ...

They were coming off extra time midweek. I’d rather play that pool

Elneny and Mustafi on for Liverpool.

Thanks Unai but too late.

At least Ceballos transfer fee has gone back down again.

That might just do it

Kroenke OUT. (and Emery)

Game plan working ok, getting the best chances on the counter but fail to take them. Then concede from a corner, the sort of goal a non league side can score against you is particularly annoying as we’d done the hard bit of defending.
Then a classic arsenal moment of madness and of course we crumble.

We may be better than last season but it feels like baby steps when you see this sort of thing. So few other teams just lay down and for once the first goal goes against them. Norwich put up more of a fight, and we’re bravef than us

On the Horror Channel.

We’re too good at accepting that we’re not good enough though Ash. You expect a bit more from top flight players than this seemingly habitual cave in at all the top clubs, not to mention lesser teams.

It’s just not good enough if we’re ever going to be taken seriously again.

Then we take off Ceballos, and bring on Torreira. So a defensive sub when we’re 3 down. Doesn’t make sense.

Or let's not settle for looking bad after spending over 120 million.

We do seem to have a long-standing habit of imploding don’t we?

The test now is to see if this team has any cojones and to see if it still fights and tries to win the game.

We’ve had nothing in midfield all game, I think it makes sense. I think we have to be accepting of it when when we’re very much in transition and we play Liverpool way third game of the season. Whilst there is a limit, I’m happy to basically ignore this result and carry on improving.
