I enjoyed the gutted sound in nevilles voice. Made up for a poor first half by us

Yeah it was funny hope we get to hear another one second half.

Lucky to be level and surely we not be that bad second half.

We do have options at least Elliott Nunez Robbo

Good thing the handball went in as Coote on VAR wasn’t going to give a penalty.

Haha

He basically punches it into the goal…

Agreed but TAA vs Martinelli is a terrible matchup so we need Robertson at LB and Gomez at RB. Then TAA can take Grav’s position rather than Thiago.
Good shout.

Not true: TAA-Martinelli matchup is not working, and we need more aggression/quality/confidencd in midfield. We also need Nunez’s oace to stretch them. There are tactical issues that personnel changes can resolve.
Actually that's the one I could agree. Never thought I'd say we're missing Bradley.

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.

We need to make it more difficult for them to play somehow, they're finding it way to easy to get at our backline

Can't believe it's 1-1 with zero shots on target.

Their pressing has us panicking when we have the ball so we have very little control going forward.

They're spending all their energy in that first half, no way they could keep that up.

Second half is going to be tougher for them.

For all Arsenal possession they didn't create that much clear cut chances to be honest. This isn't prime Barcelona or Bayern Munich here. They have played as well as they possibly can and we have played as poorly as we possibly can and yet they still aren't ahead.

He's good against teams where we have a lot of possession. In these sorts of games where he's getting pressed a lot, he holds on for it too long, turns around too many times and just kind of meanders about.
You say that but he regularly has one the fewest passes made in most matches.

He kept Martenelli in his pocket the last time, he is an outstanding athlete and we're definitely missing his pace.
I’ve plenty links to the clubs playing and backroom staff as many on here know thank you very much. Fair enough, I admire your optimism. But you’re absolute ostriches if you think this squad, even with 2 or 3 new, “cut price” players with potential get us anywhere close

On the positive side, Arsenal don't tend to respond well to adversity, and to concede like that is a real kick in the gut. There's an oppurtunity here if we wake up.

Exactly - Grav has hardly been involved apart from the excellent lob for Diaz to score from. Trent is suffering against Martinelli too - so better Gomez there and move Trent in the middle.

We’re missing some pace on the right and I’d stick Nunez out there to run at Zinchenko. We also need more bite in midfield.

Such a poor performance, especially after their goal. The great news is we got a bit of luck and got ourselves back into it. If we improve like we did in the Cup match, we can still win this. Nunez to come on after 60mins and create some chaos. Did to track players better though.

People asking for HT substitutions are, I suspect, going to be disappointed as Klopp rarely makes them.

It’s not been great but we are away at the joint 3rd favourites for the European Cup, it was always going to be hard.

You see the good and bad from Gravenberch there, which is fine given his age and the disruption to his career. I’d get him off personally.

Spot on. And all that matters is the score. We can improve a lot and have a tendency to finish strong. Chance to change things too as looks like we set up wrong, we're usually good at addressing that

To be fair that levels out the Odegaard hand ball that we didn't get in the reverse fixture. Absolute best time to score right before half time when you've had 0 chances in the game.

Get an early goal in the second half and their heads will fall off.
no it doesn't level it out at all, that decision possibly cost us two points, it hit his hand today and went in, plus there's another 45 minutes left
However if something serious happens to them I will eat my own cock.

They've created far more good situations than us. We've paid them too much respect and lacked energy from the first whistle.
Huge stroke of luck for our goal but hopefully build on that.
