Nervy win for Arsenal but the biggest test is yet to come this weekend!
Arsenal gave us all a bit of a fright this weekend didn’t they and they like to keep us on the edge of our seats.
Well I guess the annoying thing about it is the fact that we were so dominant against Brighton but only managed to score two goals, and although we got through the game, had it gone any different, we would have rued the missed chances.
Just like the big miss that Brighton had near the end of the game, had that gone in the game could have ended 1-1 but luckily for us it was a bad miss and we managed to wrap the game up via Kai Havertz. We need to learn to kill games off quicker and be better than what we have been doing, otherwise it will be a tense season and we don’t need that!
But now that game is over we have a big big game coming up on the weekend with that dreaded trip to Anfield, where we saw a very inconsistent Manchester United go and hold them to a point.
Now I’d like to think if United can go and do that then we have just as much of a chance to go and get something out of the game, but then this is Liverpool and this is Anfield and we know our history at that stadium is not the best.
Had we beaten Aston Villa and Newcastle United we would have been sitting a little prettier at the top of the table but as that wasn’t meant to be, there is now no denying that Saturday’s game will surely be one to watch in terms of who will end up as champions at the end of the season. Although it can be said that it is too early to say this, right now it is clearly Arsenal and Liverpool as the front runners, especially given the poor form of Manchester City up until now.
Let’s hope and pray that the battering we all thought United were going to get at Anfield does not come our way, after Liverpool were left frustrated and ended up with one point!
And lets also hope that we finally get the result we deserve at Anfield to really be seen as serious contenders this season, here’s hoping hey Gooners?

Liverpool have a Carabao Cup match mid-week… lets see how much importance they give to that and who plays?
Who got what against whom is completely irrelevant in this league …anyone can beat anyone on their day ! So Man Utd larking the bus and getting lucky doesn’t mean a thing when we go to play them !
personally i think we go there and get all 3 points but if the unthinkable happens and we lose then it wont be the end of the world
there are approx. 60 points left to pick up after Saturday game
winning and putting an 8point gap between us and city would be tremendous, who i still see as our main rivals to us for the league
onwards and upwards
Now now you’re being too rational. The world may end, we’ll be out of the title race, etc. etc. etc. Seriously, if we do lose at Anfield, I would put money on us winning the reverse fixture as that appears to be the wonderful mentality of this team this season.
I am so glad City has been dropping points so far this season with their injuries (KDB effect has been tremendous as I hoped it would) and suspensions. I’m just hoping that they have as much trouble getting KDB up to top form when he returns the way we did with Jesus last season.
Agree!
We don’t parking don’t do parking the bus and in fact can’t do it. We need to be bold and attack them, but be wary of them attacking us from the wings which is their usual ploy, that’s why I’m a little worried with Zinchenko likely to play left back.
Imo, it would be foolish not to play Kiwior at left back for this match. I don’t think that he can shut down Salah the way Tomi has done but he may be able to at least keep that left side of defense under control. I thought the same before the AV match and was devastated to see the starting lineup so it seems MA will likely play Zinny again.
Zinchenko will be played oit if the pitch by M.Salah…..
Out of
I know. We can only hope he won’t be but Salah must be licking his chops in anticipation. Then again, I was surprised it only cost 1 goal against AV.
Its “off the pitch” and THAT is the expression you were searching for, and NOT “out of it!”
We all knew what he meant but not one other person felt the need to highlight it but surprise surprise the high and mighty Jon fox strikes again. Give it a rest sick of your comments always belittling people constantly its very childish and uncalled for.
Winners take all, Whoever win this game game at Anfield will go on to win the league, this game is that important.
This game is massive.
Nah, still a lot to play for afterwards. One step at a time mate.
Winning at Anfield would be a massive statement just like we did by beating City earlier. It would also assure that irrespective of what happens we will not have dropped pts in head to head vs our title rivals unlike last season.
But a Win isn’t imperative at Anfield even a draw would be good if it was an even game. Better to take pt away to your direct rivals by cautious then beating them at home.
It’s not important mathematically….it’s important psychologically to go to a rival and win.It means that we have gone places and ready to get it over the Line….
And as we Saw it against Newcastle and Villa we’r still a bit raw in the so called Big games AWAY
This is one of the mental hurdles this team needs to overcome alongside getting a positive result at the Etihad to show the rest of the league they are ready to become champions. We came close last season but unfortunately could not hold onto a 2-1 lead going into the last minutes of the match.
I believe Arsenal won’t leave Anfield empty handed.
