Come on! Horrible past record v Liverpool but hope from our recent form and playing at home. Hope we get something from the match!

Martin R

We beat them in Arteta’s first season, so why not again?

The bones says 2-1 win. Bones never wrong!

Nainsley Aitland Miles

My bone is saying Arsenal 3-0 Liverpool.

Dada

I like your bones

Mayor McCheese

My bone says we’re probably going to lose, but my bone hasn’t worked properly for years now.

COYG!

So glad that Klopp chose the game against us to draw the line with salah that no one’s bigger than the club!

Nainsley Aitland Miles

He picked up a knock at Brighton.

Comatosis

No Salah the cunts are underestimating us

goonero

The quality we have is enough to give any team a good contest, we just need Xhaka to fight all his 5 brain cells telling him to do something reckless.

Martin R

Have you been watching him in the past few weeks. He’s hardly put a foot wrong and been totally consistent. Why must he always be scapegoated? 🙈

goonero

Been watching him for the past 5 years unfortunately, and my memory doesn’t just hit reset when he goes a couple games without being a calamity

Martin R

He’s gone far more than 2 matches since his sending off against Man City and frankly if you can’t see him as a key player in our improved results, you certainly have an agenda against him.

goonero

“anyone who disagrees with me has an agenda” yawn 😪

Give youth a chance

I suspect its because he’s playing higher up the pitch, so errors are less costly and fouls less likely to bring a red or penalty

Der32

We need to play Xhaka as a striker. Reckon he can do some proper shithousery up front. One touch passes to Saka and Martinelli and the occasional left footed banger to the stands.

Nainsley Aitland Miles

Come on show a bit more respect mate, Xhaka has been an integral part of our climb up to 4th.

That being said though, a silly red card and it’s game over (unless Holding performs miracles again). Even an early yellow for Xhaka or Partey would worry me.

goonero

Xhaka has been an integral part

His biggest contribution has been not getting sent off so we can finish games with XI on the pitch, I’m just hoping he can keep up that “stellar” performance level

Awesomesauce25

Exactly. No point in arguing with someone who clearly prefers to trash his own players than recognize both their contributions and flaws. Xhaka played over 175 games for Arsenal and has been solid or better in probably 90% of them. He’s has big mistakes in probably 3 or 4 and been too harshly punished in 2 or 3. Do I wish he never makes the major mistakes, of course, but he’s usually an important contributor to the team. Will be happy for us to upgrade on him, but until then he’s clearly very important to our top 4 push and… Read more »

We’ll beat Liverpool again in the league someday. That day might just be tonight. It will be tough, but not impossible.

ChickPEA

Salah not starting, but Jota might be worse for us…
Strong Arsenal XI, COYG!!

Rummy

Sitting here in the pissing rain, I will be warmed by us winning 5-0!

Fuzz

Not a bad squad Liverpool have got really is it?

Up4GrabsNow!

A lot of firepower on their bench. Hopefully we will be up 3-0 before they can make a sub… ; )

Nainsley Aitland Miles

We’ll be where they are in 2 years.

Teryima Adi

Cannons out and blazing. COYG!!

Čenda

Cedric vs Diaz, God help him.

Čenda

To be clear, I believe.

Martin R

I bet you’ve been saying that in every match since Cedric has been in the team. He’s been excellent in every match

chepetin

He meant God help Diaz

Nainsley Aitland Miles

Does Mane not play on their left? I just remember at Anfield Mane elbowing Tomiyasu and getting away with it.

goongot

mane plays false 9 role.

Kentish Gooner

COYG. We’ve got this.

arsescrivener

smash these mugs!

Billy bob

Goalless at half time, can we nick a one nil victory, how great would that be!!!

Rick_Sanchez

That hurts. If you don’t score, you concede…
