Don't know if it was the bigger allocation, but they seemed a completely different fanbase yesterday. I've always had them down as one of the few that support their team and don't resort to the tired anti-scouse small time stuff, so beloved of smaller clubs and Utd, but it was all there last night.

Being in bad places brings the worst out of people. Not surprised given the state their club is in at the moment. Even their players resorted to the same shithousery that spurs did when they were ahead at the weekend.

I agree with you completely, I don't think the result was embarrassing at all, but I would say given the experience in your team, you should've won the game.

Can't argue with that. With the experience in defence especially, you would hope that we wouldn't concede the goals we did.

But, it is Arsenal. We played Mustafi. Holding looked really rusty. It is Arsenal. Kolasinac has never been a great left back in a 4. There were some top goals last night. Oh, and its Arsenal.

And I'd imagine the next in line would be Brewster looking at your squad list.

Nah, Wijnaldum or Ox probably would come ahead of Brewster. No guarantee we would play 3 forwards either if Salah, Firmino and Mane were out.

Despite that Brewster does fit in our 2nd XI, despite not being 6th in line to play as a forward, assuming that the 2nd XI must be made up of no 1st XI players.

Yeah. We could do likewise with Ozil, or playing Ceballos or that further forward. I'm more thinking in the way you list your 1st choice team, then the next choice team after.

It's about the only advantage to playing in the Europa League. Players like Martinelli, Saka, Nelson, Willock, Smith-Rowe can be blooded and get them game time, and if there's good performances, it helps integrate them into proper first team reckoning.

Didn't realise he's had those types of comments. Although fans can do what they want, I still felt a little sorry for him at the time and the more I've thought about it, the more I think it's understandable how he reacted, moreso now after that statement.

Agree with this.  Thought Emery should have backed him up 100% straight after the match actually, given Xhaka’s popularity in the dressing room it would have been an easy way to tap into a siege mentality.  Not ideal for it to be against your own fans I guess, but they’d soon come round if it worked and turned them into a team of scrappers.

The Arsenal fan that interrupted Claude's interview just summed up the modern football fan as well as the attitude that gives rise to online abuse.

It's the total conviction that he and "the fans" have a right to do and say what they like regardless of the effect that it may have on others. By saying that he and "everyone else" taking stick is a justification to do what he likes is a pretty thin defence.

 I know the fan in the interview was talking about abuse in the ground, but the sooner people in general are held accountable for what they choose to self publish online the better.

Arsenal fans are screaming for Ozil to start a game I see. After he put in a good performance against a Liverpool reserve side. One that consisted of a 18-year-old RB, a 17-year-old CB, a 18-year-old GK, a 22-year-old CB and a 33-year-old midfielder who was just filling in at LB. Just looking forward to him getting his chance in a premier league game now, only for him to go missing when they really need him.

If they think an Ozil is the answer to their problems then they've got some deluded whoppers amongst their support.  Arsenal are a club that is pretty well set up to do well but seem completely rudderless at the moment.

I saw something like that on another forum, I asked the poster if that meant he'd be subbed off at HT in the games where he was a non-issue and his response was that he'd never sub him as he'd still be their best chance to pick apart a defence from midfield. Insane really when attacking has not been arsenal's main issue so far this season.
