And there's the snidey mask slipping. Showed his true colours this fella after years of the poor mouth. Even the unflushable turd winning today gave me a smile just thinking of the insufferable gloating this fella has been doing for months.

I’m not sure it’s fair to say the mask slipped, was it July the Partey stuff first came out? And before that the postponement stuff last season. He’s actually being very consistent.
If he's being asked to head the ball too frequently - which isn't exactly his specialty - it could affect his ear and cause an infection. Especially if the ball hits him on the ear directly.

Need to disagree mate, we were poor yesterday with the starting XI, and unless Partey would have been marking Tarkowski then we would have still conceded, and I'm not sure we'd have got back in it regardless. Yesterdays game always felt like who scored first wins.

Need to ask why we constantly fail at Goodison and against Sean Dyche teams.

If you’re not playing well make sure you don’t lose. A draw would’ve extended our lead. We weren’t desperate enough to take off the best defensive midfielder in the league for  Jorginho who looked hopeless at everything, inclding passing the ball, what he’s famed for.
We were also getting on top in the game either side of half time, but Arteta went too early with the subs. If they retreated into their box I understand but at that point they still had a lot of fight in midfield and we needed both Partey and Martinelli on.
Anyway luckily we had a cushion to afford one bad defeat,  not two though so the next game is massive.

I do apologize.

In reality, if we win the league, even the ones who want to see me crash and burn will be very happy that smug cheats city got a bloody nose. In the grand scheme of things we re all on the same side against those that ruined football.
Even now , part of the reason both of us couldn’t really strengthen in the window is because the market is so damaged our clubs would have to part with 80m just to buy midfield potential. It’s very hard to compete, if you’re a legitimate business.
 You’ve fought bravely against this for years and now paying for it (did win everything still). We have reached a point where we have pretty much done everything perfectly this season and might still fall short.

This is why we need to keep playing our first 11. At the moment I’m far more impressed with small squad Arteta with an 11 that picks itself than with yesterday. I hope he didn’t inherit the weird line up ideas from Pep too. He cost himself a couple of CLs with wrong starting line ups and subs at the wrong time.

Can only play the first 11 so much and even then it needs freshening up? Start Trossard for example and put Martinelli centrally?

Nketiah had great chance in first half & smashed it wildly for some reason. Odegaard getting that knock early on didn't help either imo.

The Odegaard miss was a pivotal point for me.....you were having no joy getting past the Bitter bus, but great work by Nketiah fianlly undid them.....on a plate for him - ballooned it - they go up the other end and it's 1-0 .....on such moments seasons turn

Naaaaa snide c*nt that's where you're wrong. It's not City winning gives me a smile, it's gloating, snide sad cases like you and knowing how much that'll have killed you today. And I'll continue to enjoy it on this Liverpool fan forum. You're a snide c*nt and if I had my way you'd be gone off here precisely because of dickhead comments like that. Celebrating like you won the league after about 12 games. Fuck off.

Sorry. Who the fuck are you?

TNB has been a decent away fan on this site for years. If he's enjoying Arsenals run this season then why the fuck shouldn't he?

He's a good lad and that is a poor post.

There was a lot of talk of Nketiah staying first choice even with Jesus back. Martinelli hasn’t been the same with Jesus absence. His involvement in the passing moves in our attacks opens up so much more possibilities than Nketiah, who is a good old fashioned run in behind and finish, he’s done really well, but can’t wait for Jesus to get back.

You have to see how the game develops, after 60 mins of a game full of time wasting , players pretending to have head injuries and throw ins and goal kicks taking 5 mins, there was no need to freshen things up or go to plan B. Just give the team more time to find solutions, but Arteta is still a very young manager and he too will learn .

They struggle in the big north west games , we will beat  them city will beat them. Hopefully city dont do the win 15 in a row trope, but knew when everton scored game was done, maybe a year to early for them routing for them over the football manager editor sky blues.

That's where the tight bastard in me would like to see you fail, just to see how fucking horrible it is to lose to absolute cheats. Got sick of fans backing the washers, watching them destroy the game, just so that we didn't win it.

Ideal world, I'd rather you won it, even if your manager is a blood money taking gimp. In fact, you are sort of a mini Abu Dhabi, aren't you ;)

Big let off for Arsenal there. City don’t look at it at all. They’ve been on the decline for twelve months now really. But Arsenal need to focus. Being outplayed by Everton yesterday was a massive surprise to me.
