Some Gooners have already given up on Arsenal catching Liverpool in the race for league glory. Critics of Arsenal, on the other hand, are adamant Arsenal won’t win the title—some even claim that, had Chelsea beaten them, they would be firmly locked in the top-four battle instead.
That said, should Arteta and the boys simply give up on the title, and applying pressure on Liverpool, and instead focus on pushing for Champions League success?
Having watched Liverpool crumble in the Champions League (eliminated by PSG) and lose the Carabao Cup final to Newcastle, isn’t there a glimmer of hope that the Reds might drop points in the coming weeks?
Both PSG and Newcastle (last Sunday) demonstrated the blueprint for nullifying Liverpool: neutralise Mohamed Salah’s threat, and Liverpool suddenly look far less dangerous.
PSG’s Nuno Mendes and Newcastle’s Tino Livramento successfully pocketed Salah, and Liverpool struggled to make an impact in both matches.
Looking at Liverpool’s upcoming fixtures—Everton (2nd April), Fulham (4th April), Chelsea (3rd May), Arsenal (10th May), and Brighton (18th May)—these are matches where, if the opposition brings their A-game and neutralise Salah, Liverpool could well drop points.
Meanwhile, with Bukayo Saka expected to return, Mikel Merino thriving in the false 9 role, and both Timber and Lewis-Skelly excelling, I’d back Arsenal to end the season on a high.
Arsenal’s remaining fixtures include Fulham, Everton, Brentford, Ipswich, Crystal Palace, Bournemouth, Liverpool, Newcastle, and Southampton—a schedule with two to three tough matches but one where every game is winnable.
The aim for the Gunners shouldn’t simply be securing a top-four finish; it should be to finish as high up the table as possible, while still pursuing European glory. If they strive for that, who knows? We could witness one of the most iconic title collapses from Liverpool, paving the way for Arsenal’s league triumph.
What do you think Gooners? After all, anything’s possible in football, isn’t it?

And we won’t drop points too?
Hahahahahahahahahahahaha
😂😂😂😂😂😂😅😅😅
Probably the dumbest article ever.
Aren’t we gonna drop points in the coming weeks also?
Talk of click bait. And yeah, it worked
We might as well not. So it can’t be considered “dumb” just yet.
We would need to be near perfect till seasons end while Liverpool team that as lost 1 game all goes into melt down .
Not going to happen even if salah got injured for the remainder of the season .
Season was over when the Magician refused to buy a sticker last summer .
While a Liverpool team that as lost one game all season goes into melt down *

Neutralizing Salah is a subject which is no doubt discussed at length by the Manager of every team which faces Liverpool.Mendes of PSG, who plays as a conventional LB for PSG and Portugal, blotted out Salah because ,like Livramento, he is very quick, and adept in a man marking role.With our inverted LB set up, who would pick up Salah?
Arteta used excellent right-footed LB like Tomiyasu and Timber to shut Salah off
I don’t think Liverpool’s remaining oppositions have someone as good as Tomiyasu and Timber on their left side
They just have conventional LBs who would likely not be effective enough to prevent Salah from cutting inside and shoot with his magical left foot
Mendes of PSG is a conventional ,left footed left back as is Robinson of Fulham who has already played Salah out of the game early this season, to the extent that Liverpool fans were clamouring for their Club to sign him to replace the aging Robertson.
I hope the LBs of Liverpool’s remaining oppositions are as good as Mendes and Robinson, to help us stopping Salah
The amount of articles on here that just can’t except the inevitable. While it’s good to have a positive outlook, it’s also good the be realistic.
And for Arsenal to have any chance of winning the league, Liverpool would have to fall off the cliff totally, and Arsenal would have to be perfect.
Something that’s not going to happen sadly.
What is it they say, its the hope that kills you. 😉👍
“While it’s good to have a positive outlook, it’s also good the be realistic”
Let me help you rephrase:
“While it’s OKAY to have a positive outlook, it’s BEST the be realistic
“Liverpool would have to fall off the cliff totally”
Sorry Derek, but they play on flat ground at sea level and not on mountains or hills meaning there’s no chance they would fall of a cliff
dgr8xt,
Thank you for the lesson in grammar. Who says that this forum isn’t educational. 😂🤣😉👍
Is there a glimmer of hope ?
No
What title hopes might that be exactly? Come off it mate, we are miles behind and even if we had a chance we’d find a way to cock it up, it’s what Arsenal seem to do best when it comes to the title, it’s been the same story since we last won it with the invincibles.
We better look back at the teams behind us instead of thinking about the impossible.
Too late to catch Liverpool!
Ayan,
👍👍👍👍👍😉
