I can’t fault the team selection or the formation. If we played 4 at the back like the armchair experts here want we’d have got battered 5-1. Instead, we would have drew had Lacazette took his chance.
What's the difference? Sit for 90 and wait to lose or at least go out and do something about it, even if you lose you at least have to try. People are delusional if they expect us to get the top 4 with this formation and selection.I can’t fault the team selection or the formation.

This is not an issue against Liverpool away, but we are playing the same c*** against every team
Poor approach in the 1st half, simply too conservative. Liverpool were incredible though, their pressing is absolutely devastating. Our players couldn't catch a break.
He should've tried to bypass with some long balls, however problem is all our forwards are weak as f*ck, and are unable to keep the ball for more than a second on their own.
We don't have results, I don't count FA cup or c*** like that. We were lucky for a while with this formation, just like Emery was lucky at one point, but there's absolutely no football there. Again, my opinion is based more on the West Ham game, but this game today was just a confirmation that we've started the season with a completely wrong game plan and a couple of lucky results wont change thatIt’s got results. It got us two trophies. Why change what’s working well? Just because you want to see higher possession numbers?
Agreed, and honestly with regards to Dani Ceballos, im not 100% certain he would have been able to handle Liverpool press in the first 30mins.
I we can get Aouar and Partey however, that changes the game immediately, as we'll be able to beat their press as liverpool would have to deal with 3 clever midfielders including ceballos.
Liverpool think they are unbeatable, they arent. Just wait until Arteta gets the players he wants.

You watch Firminho and just think what it would be like if our forwards would keep the ball like that. Firminho will probably score less than many forwards, but his game is closest to Benzema from what I've seen, amazing hold up playHe should've tried to bypass with some long balls, however problem is all our forwards are weak as f*ck, and are unable to keep the ball for more than a second on their own.
Mate, are you even able to read? I've said my opinion is based more on a West Ham game and some past experiences with this team. This game means nothing for me, just a test to see how far we've progressedYou can’t make such an opinion based on a game against a team much better in quality, whom we beat twice with the same tactics. Not counting the biggest domestic cup in the world? We beat big teams to win it.
