Hat that, Diaz wants to get subbed but carries on playing whilst his team have the ball then as soon as they lose it he sits down on the turf to try to get the game stopped and for Arsenal to kick the ball out - which we do. Wish we just play on in those situations - particularly when Liverpool had ample opportunity to put the ball out themselves if they wanted to make the sub, if its for an injury we'd throw the ball back to them anyway.

Vital we get to the half without conceding another. Then time for Mikel to galvanize them, we've been second best for most of the half.

We’ve been utter shitevsince the goal. No central midfield. Partly, Ødegaard and Xhaka outclassed today

Honestly I think we need to change this

Sub on Tierney for white or something

It doesn’t look right. Too many pegs in holes

Yep

Saka has been a bit unlucky being punished for fouls this half. He gets far worse than he gives and he's the one penalised

He's been rubbish. He needs to stop complaining and get on with it.

Sakaaaaaaa!!!!!!

Saka!!! Hope that's not offside

Saka !!!!!!!!

VAR has stopped me celebrating.

Sucker punch!!!

Yes!

Saka 2-1 in the 5th minute of 5 stoppage time minutes!

We don't deserve the lead but *%^@ it honestly

Liverpool must be gutted. How we are leading I don’t know

This would be a massive result

I know just what you mean.

That looked more offside in real time than it actually proved to be.

That's the way, move the ball fast and we will score

Martinelli is a gem

He obviously read my post.

Somehow we're ahead
But we're going to need an improvement in the second half to keep it that way.

If I came home and found Saka with the missus I'd ask him if he needed anything else.

Me too

I really hope Mikel changes this though.

Get Tierney on and push Tommy to the right. Will be more balanced

Xhaka has been poor. They just manoeuvre around him. I always think he seems to struggle againest Liverpool

At that point Arteta would have probably been keen to get us in at 1-1 and reset us to go again - what a bonus to be 2-1 up.

Liverpool gave us a serious test for the 2nd half of that half, they were better than us - so yes we may not deserve it but how many times have we been told that its goals that count and you have to be clinical - possession doesn't win matches. We've killed them with 2 counter attacks. Just keep getting the ball to Martinelli

When the midfield get the ball they are taking too many touches. Slicker passing required. The Liverpuddle defence can be got at.

Hope Arteta fixes the gaps. Worrisome when they get through our midfield so easily.

For all their possession they only really looked like scoring for the goal. A lot of sideways passing and long balls.

'Pool found their rhythm the last 15 to 20 minutes of that half. They were looking the same dangerous side, their left flank was giving us fits as well. We'll have to get that sorted.

On the other hand, it makes it slightly less jarring when we concede.

Winning 2-1 but a very poor performance in all honesty. Lacking composure on the ball, too slow in possession.

Something needs to change in the centre of the park. Partey is off his game and Ødegaard is a passenger. Not sure we've got anyone on the bench who can dominate in the centre of the park though.

These are the types of games where Ødegaard has to do better.

Well done Gunfire! You stung him into action.

Vierra could do it better

Ødegaard needs to step up

Partey needs to get hold of the midfield.
Gabriel is a bit of a worry at the back.

I think so too

We were a bit lucky to get away with Gabriel’s handball. Definitely in the category of ‘seen them given’ and I’d be shouting for that for sure

Martinelli.

I said it at the beginning of the season. The lad is going to hit the heights this season.

Trent has been hooked.

Just get the best fullbacks playing in their natural positions.
