And never frekkin should!

His type is obsolete

Ya we definitely don't need an experienced player who would be the best dribbler in the league and technically excellent. Who the **** would want that.

Hope kroenke was watching because he can splash the cash big time

 

[Plutarch]

That was worse than I expected and I wasn't expecting much. I was pleased by Iwobi's performance, and AMN's, but there was nothing else good. Our defensive errors are appalling. Apparently our defenders can't stop making them so we need new, better defenders.

 

[Lady_Gooner]

We all know emery isn’t in the elite managers but with our board we can’t attract them. Liverpool we’re finishing 8th with klopp not that long ago. He needs severe backing in the transfer window. Not 1 good signing with 5 duds to make it look like we’ve done a #madness. We need 3 top calibre players.

 

[celestis]

Honestly don't feel too bad after that, we know this team is going to suffer with a few injuries at the back. No Bellerin, no Holding and a half-fit Mustafi was always going to be too much to overcome against that team.

Yup would have been completely different if they had at least held on for 10 mins , but conceding the 1st in the manner just dented the whole team . Michael Oliver is a **** .

Tbf even without any injuries I imagine we’d struggle at Anfield. Our defence isn’t good enough to begin with and on top of that it’s weakened by injuries.

To say we’re going through a rough patch would be an understatement, although the stats people would probably just say our results have realigned with our performances.

 

[Trilly]

Might be skewed due to recent memory but this last few weeks genuinely feels like the worst defence we’ve ever had.

3 of our first choice 4 out but still...

 

[A_G]

I still think we would have lost this by 4+ goals had all of those players been playing.

We were riding our luck for long parts this season. With the form Liverpool were playing at they were always going to capitalise on our individual mistakes.

It's possible, but playing Mustafi who wasn't fit and Lichsteiner who's crap made it nearly impossible.

 

[Manberg]

Klopp bought CBs like Matip to get into the EL and improved players like Lovren massively.

We will not get an top class CB without CL.

Nonsense. VVD was at Celtic for 2 years and Southampton for 3 years before Liverpool took the chance on him.
Emery has to find the right player and Kroenke needs to give him the money.

 

[El Duderino]

@El Duderino turns out, Özil was posting as reed on here the whole time. What a plot twist.

Everything makes sense now

 

[2Smokeyy]

Thank god Sp**s lost.

It really burns me to say this but Sp**s are not even looking at us.

They’ve not even spent anything last summer yet they’re sh*tting on us.

 

[juice man]

Think he’s declined a lot this year tbh.

Rated him as maybe the best CB in the world 1-2 years ago. He's not even close now.

 

[lamby22]

28 goals conceded at 20 games is our worst record in PL history.

It's worse than that. We've conceded 30

 

[Tosker]

Losing Holding is beginning to look more and more like the beginning of the end for our top four hopes

Players like Milner helped them attract someone like Keita as well.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Ah emery out already? Money time for Robbie!

I hope AFTV don't open thier mouth and talk s**te they wanted change and here it is be patient it f**k off

 

[Fewtch]

Positives:
Iwobi played well

should've scored a few more. That's like the only thing I expected from the game

We bought Aubameyang with out CL footie - there's always a way to buy top players if you've got the cash and the will.

 

[Alkane]

I was just about to post this.

It's infuriating. I've got nothing against Sokratis, he's decent but he isn't the level we need to take our defence up a level. He cost us £18M, that's £18M that could have gone into buying a truly top level CB. Why do we keep doing this to ourselves?

I'd rather spend all our budget on one class player than 2-3 jobbers.

Exactly mate. Liverpool were very clever in how they behaved in the transfer market past 2-3 years. Whole world knew their defense and gk were their weak points. Instead of getting marginal upgrades they waited and spent that money on quality that significantly improved their team.

Im worried we have limited funds, and that we will continue to sign sub standard players (e.g. currently linked with Cahill and Banega). Additionally it is criminal we have allowed Alexis, Ramsey, Welbeck to leave for basically nothing. A shambles all round.

Those 3 could've been £100m to reinvest in the team if we had handled their conracts better or in the case of Welbeck sold him sooner.
