How the fuck are we going in level?

Got absolutely battered for 45 minutes before scoring the scruffiest goal we'll score all season.

Much improvement needed but I'll fucking take it

Wow, what an ending

We have been shit. Get Nunez on for Gakpo asap.

Can we get a goal plus a penalty and red card for Gabriel?

Nick110581 · « **Reply #8 on:** February 4, 2024, 05:21:10 pm »

We have been really poor.

The shape hasn’t worked.

best CB in the league ? never seen Virgil do that

Libertine · « **Reply #10 on:** February 4, 2024, 05:21:14 pm »

Haha. Robbed them. Were lucky to be only one down and then steal one at the death!

So glad that went in and we didn't have to deal with taking a pen...

Brb have to rewrite my comment

Snusmumriken · « **Reply #12 on:** February 4, 2024, 05:21:17 pm »

Night and day compared to the Chelsea performance. Better opposition definitely plays it’s part, but having lost our best presser from each part of the team doesn’t help our cause at all.

😂😂 av it

Funky_Gibbons · « **Reply #14 on:** February 4, 2024, 05:21:28 pm »

I’m not sure what the ‘tactical’ reasons were for leaving Nunez out, but it’s basically allowed Arsenal to push up and condense the space in front of them so we can’t play through, with no threat of anyone running in behind.

Trolol

Caligula? · « **Reply #16 on:** February 4, 2024, 05:21:30 pm »

Hahaha jammy as fuck but you'll take that all day long

We were awful and lucky they weren't out of sight. Get Darwin and Harvey Elliot on and we'll win this.

Only thing that worries me is because of that goal Jurgen will wait longer than he has to to make changes. Gravenberch is woefully out of his depth and needs binning ASAP. How he's in ahead of Elliot is criminal.

Redric1970 · « **Reply #17 on:** February 4, 2024, 05:21:32 pm »

We were proper shit, play like that second half we will lose, but we can’t play as badly surely

Peabee · « **Reply #18 on:** February 4, 2024, 05:21:32 pm »

Both commentators sound absolutely gutted.

LovelyCushionedHeader · « **Reply #19 on:** February 4, 2024, 05:21:32 pm »

Genuinely don't think it's been that bad. They've created less than they did in the FA Cup game.

They've been the better team - you would expect them to be. But their pressure will die off, and the tide will turn.

We've got this.

swoopy · « **Reply #20 on:** February 4, 2024, 05:21:33 pm »

Lol
Spectacularly undeserved.

Get Nunez on.

Samie · « **Reply #21 on:** February 4, 2024, 05:21:34 pm »

We've been so shit we're lucky to go in level.

Gravenberch doing nothing untill the very end.

Our hardest remaining league game imo (becuase city is at home)
Arsenal might be a bit under estimated at the moment- some patchy results lately but their underlying numbers remain really good and the thing about this game is it’s a cup final for them … they know they have to win to get back in the title race

Arteta seems to do the same thing in every big game - or at least vs us - he puts a super high press on from the start that lasts 20-30 minutes … and honestly we don’t handle it very well. I hope we’ve adjusted and have on of the 8s sit in with Mac for the start of the game and not have that horrible thing we’ve all seen before where the front 5 are totally cut off from the back 5 and we can’t play out
If we get through the first half hour we’ll do well - stronger bench etc

This is jack in the pre match thread... shame Klopp doesn't read RAWK.

Grav isn't good for a game like this because of his lack of defensive work but a great little ball into Diaz for the goal.

Hurt by your own handball, Arsenal, finally. Karma

meady1981 · « **Reply #24 on:** February 4, 2024, 05:21:40 pm »

Are contractually obliged to play shit against Arsenal in first halves?

More like 15mins, they've done fuck all since the goal. We were shit too though. Harvey will have every right to feel a bit fucked off at the moment, get him and Darwin on.

Cozzymoto · « **Reply #27 on:** February 4, 2024, 05:21:44 pm »

Thank F for that!

We have been god awful. I think the Trent experiment needs to stop. Conor should be our first choice right back.

Wool · « **Reply #28 on:** February 4, 2024, 05:21:45 pm »

They’ve bullied us from start to finish in every department. Macca and maybe Konate, Van Dijk and Alisson only ones with any credit. The rest have been pathetic to be fair and yet it’s somehow 1-1! Nunez and Elliot on at HT please.

Draex · « **Reply #29 on:** February 4, 2024, 05:21:49 pm »

The worst we’ve played all season, utterly shite from all 11 men.. yet without a shot we are level.

Why is Gomez inverting with Trent on?

So little pace from our front three and they are terrible at keeping the ball.

A huge 45mins to go.

Persephone · « **Reply #30 on:** February 4, 2024, 05:21:51 pm »

Lucky as fuck but I'll take it everyday of the week.

Saliba's face was a peach.

semit5 · « **Reply #31 on:** February 4, 2024, 05:21:53 pm »

They’ve turned the mics right down at the away end, could hear the Arsenal players shouting at each other but not that away fans

Rosario · « **Reply #32 on:** February 4, 2024, 05:21:54 pm »

Good work by Diaz to not give up there. Changes needed at HT or very early second half.

Comically undeserved equaliser after a horrorshow of a half. Hopefully we improve (won’t be difficult).

The Final Third · « **Reply #36 on:** February 4, 2024, 05:22:00 pm »

We've been poor but that's some poetic justice with the handball own goal.

theredguy03 · « **Reply #37 on:** February 4, 2024, 05:22:05 pm »

The curse of going 1-0 up and not taking chances works in our favour this time

A fair scoreline at HT you have to say

"Bobber" Thanks :) · « **Reply #39 on:** February 4, 2024, 05:22:10 pm »

I text the Mrs to say it’s half time and losing 1nil then 10 seconds later, that happens. Dire performance though
