5-4 Liverpool.

Expecting a cracker, these two rarely disappoint.

Couple of the new Arsenal signings look very good.
 
Either a 4-3 goal fest or a boring 1-0.

Got the feeling this is either a classic or a snooze, nothing in between.
 
Liverpool should have done a deal with us for Kent with Foderingham going the other way cos Adrian is a bombscare

Mad that Adrian and Alisson are Liverpool's two senior goalkeepers and not just a couple from Doncaster that your parents befriended on that holiday to Mallorca when you were a kid.
 
Gary Neville - pepes been a handful

So far he has stood on the ball when breaking thru
And despite handling a pass forward, turned and couldn't convert one on one

72m

Obviously not a fan of arsenal are you? Pepe has been decent so far he will do well at Arsenal and fees mean nothing these days with the amount of average players going for a fortune.

Van Dijk seems unusually fearful of him.

So used to just seeing him brush aside a forward but he’s actively standing off and not putting a foot in.

Perhaps just sussing our a new striker but Arsenal look like they might get a bit of joy with that ball over the top.

Couple of defenders got too close to him last week and he made them look stupid.
VVD done his homework.
 
Arsenal nearly catching Liverpool on the break a few times
Pépé and Aubameyang are lightening
 
72 million for Arsenal striker Pepe can't control the ball and fell over it and couple of times. The EPL transfers are crazy.
 
I'm neither a fan or not of arsenal

My comment on pepe was more about Neville and his summary up to that point

As for the fee, its mental for a guy who had one decent season so far
 
Anyone on the sky bet double up boost?

2 or more shots each... Auba and Mane 8/1.

Thought there'd be more than what there has been but you never know. Mane has 1 just now. Auba 0.
 
Funny how some people think Pepe looks decent and others are writing him off as an expensive dud already.

Glad we’re as fickle with other teams players as we are with our own.

I took it, hopefully more in the 2nd half
 
If you spend ÂŁ70m on a player and he is clean through on goal with only the keeper to beat you should be celebrating a goal. Instead Pepe just passed it back to the keeper.

I think Arsenal have been shocking here. Time wasting at every opportunity before the goal goes in.
 
When the manager is in the pre match press conference saying he would rather not be facing Liverpool, then shows the mentality before a balls kicked.
 
Everyone saying Arsenal are powder puff enough and too soft and easy to play against in these big away games, and rightly so after some of the doings in the past.

So from that point of view, it's good to see Emery try and change it up and get them more organised. In terms of that, I think they have done ok first half, as Liverpool sweep teams away at Anfield with ease.

In saying that, they now need to do a bit more now they are behind. The danger of course is open up, and you will be playing into Liverpools hands. Maybe best to keep it tight until the last 20mims or so.
 
Diamond is the wrong formation for arsenal should match Liverpool and go 433 bring lacazette on for a midfielder and put Pepe and Auba wide Pepe will Rinse Robertson in a 1 on 1

The coaches have a saying. Stay in it and make it a 10 minute game. Phucked now though:)
