I saw this too. They need to review the match report, and have three days to do it, and it may be extended

Arne Slot: What happens after Liverpool manager was shown a red card? - BBC Sport

What happens now after Arne Slot's red card at Everton?

www.bbc.com

So he’ll be on the touchline for Wolves and might then be subsequently banned for Villa etc?

I can live with that…

It's sinking in how precarious of a position we are in.

3 players for 2 competitions where we have to field our best 11. Sterling hasn't played full games consistently in ages and we have no idea how Nwaneri handles the load of a starting player. Even Trossard who is always fit has never had play the amount of minutes he will have to, he's always been properly rotated while he's been here.

We need to find an internal solution that can actually absorb significant minutes or this could turn into a clown show really quick.

I mean I think we need to change the formation so that we only play with two forwards - we can't play the only three fit forwards we have every game for the next month. That's insane.

 

[Gooner Zig]

There is definitely a title that can be won, tbh.

Just don't trust our team being honest and we are going through one of the worst injury hit spells I can remember, and saying this as an Arsenal fan really is something

Will be an amazing achievement if we could win it though.

My man, you realize we only have three, THREE fit forwards right now? I realize Liverpool aren't all that but we're in ****ing dire straits

I am more confident than ever that we are in for the title now that Arteta isn’t forcing that piece of dogshit Havertz somewhere in the team.

Assuming Martinelli doesn’t miss too much football and Saka gives us the final boost in the last couple of months, this was the scenario we needed to really give it a proper go unfortunately.

The downside to this is our press drops off though, a big factor in our game and one of the key reasons why Havertz starts when fit. Just that alone would have won us the game against City last time.

If we can adapt to that well enough, we may just be able to maintain the levels needed.

I don’t value Havertz contributions as much as you guys as much as I have tried, for me he is a passenger that Arteta was trying his upmost to justify.

This is assuming Sterling has even fraction left of anything he had before.

You’ve taken an unexpected route to being a believer

Your prediction of walking the title would have been goated had you not lost your nerve.

Now you’re crying in your bowl of cornflakes like the Athletic, Synical and etc.

 

[DJ_Markstar]

That would have to be the best odds we have had for a fair while?

I wonder what the models are saying, do they account for player injuries? If not they are probably giving a reasonable win percantage

Yeah good point tbf, that's a whole rabbit hole I'm sure.

All I know is open betting platforms (not bookies) are usually fairly accurate as it's not serial moaners on an internet forum but people backing their opinions with money, wisdom of crowds etc.

 

[DJ_Markstar]

What am I missing here - he got a red card how has he not got a touchline ban for it?

Well you see, they had a look at the badge and it didn't say Arsenal so...

What do you mean lost my nerve? You think I'd back a horse with two legs?

I said what I said

 

[goonerfamily]

Think if we can ****house our way to a 5 point deficit at the international break AND get Saka and Martinelli fit for that international break, we can do it

Still very much in Liverpool's favour but their run in is harder IMO.

 

[goonerfamily]

Hard week for Liverpool too. 3 games in a week. Away at Villa, away at City. Not sure they get 9 points.

 

[Tnegs]

It ain’t over till it’s over. Like I said enjoy the ride and moments like this. Odds are heavily against us but we’re stil in the race. What’s the point of being a fan if you can’t enjoy this?

 

[A_G]

We’d be level on points without those BS decisions against Brighton lmao

That and a proper cf, we would pi$$ it.

 

[boonthegoon]

Oh they are giving us some hope...

I posted this after the Everton draw. Pool must sure drop points with the games ahead. Villa and City could even be a loss. We just need to keep winning. The pressure is on Pool.
