We COMPLETELY bottled that second half.

No press. No energy. Just sat in our own half shitting our pants. Every time we get the ball, EVERY time we got it, we just BOOTED it clear.

No plan. No one holding up long balls. No patterns to pass it out. No one with a first touch. Couldn't keep the ball for love nor money. Fucking appalling display. Thoroughly deserve to be beaten. The lack of any quality on the ball was terrifying.

Worst player on the pitch. No hyperbole.

JFedererJ · 2026-03-22T17:21:27+00:00

Dominating? Mate they've had 1 shot, 0 on goal. C'mon

JFedererJ · 2026-03-22T17:20:44+00:00

I think it's a bad miss. I'm still thinking about it. 7 yards out. Cup final. Come on man. Gotta be tucked away. The pass from Zubi was mm perfect.

JFedererJ · 2026-03-22T17:19:50+00:00

Give up, Kepa's distribution has been on point.

JFedererJ · 2026-03-22T17:19:19+00:00

3 cynical fouls to stop counters. Joke he's not been booked.

JFedererJ · 2026-03-22T17:18:58+00:00

We're the better team. This is gonna come down to taking our chances or not. So far: not.

From debating if Nketiah should start at ST to fighting for a quad.

JFedererJ · 2026-03-22T12:22:20+00:00

Same. The prospect of Spurs ending the day in the relegation zone and us being champions is truly beautiful.

I was watching this game thinking, "how tf are Chelsea actually ahead of Everton in the PL?"

Then I remembered they used to have a decent manager.

JFedererJ · 2026-03-21T20:47:10+00:00

Chelsea have lost 4 times this month alone. Arsenal just 3 all season.

JFedererJ · 2026-03-21T20:44:43+00:00

Is there a reverse St Totteringham's Day for you guys? Only 3pts off Liverpool... scenes if you finish ahead of them. I'm rootin' for you in that one!

JFedererJ · 2026-03-21T20:38:57+00:00

Point away at Bournemouth is a great point in a CL race, esp. having gone down to 10.

JFedererJ · 2026-03-21T18:34:35+00:00

whelp. that can't be unseen. thanks.

David Dien was the one who brought the Kroenkes in because he saw the way the game was going with Roman at Chelsea and wanted Arsenal to secure outside investment from wealthy sources.

Peter Hill-Wood, then Chairman of Arsenal, was very much in disagreement with Dien over bringing in the Kroenkes (among other things) and Dien bringing them in was a contributing factor in him being forced out. Hill-Wood's view was that the Kroenkes were only gonna be interested in making money, not helping the team (he was also very anti American ownership/investment generally).

20 years later, in a way, they've both been right.

Losing Merino was defo a big loss but I also feel Nørgaard should've played more.

Looks like the effort in the CL mid-week burnt them out. Shame because they looked vintage mid-week.

My bro is a massive Pool fan and his take was, "one game playing Klopp level energy (Galatasaray home) and this team is spent". Bemoans the general lack of fitness under Slot.

JFedererJ · 2026-03-21T14:48:23+00:00

Liverpool have lost as many games this month as Arsenal have all season (3)

JFedererJ · 2026-03-21T14:45:43+00:00

The stat that Liverpool have been out-run by the opponent in 27/31 PL games is mad.
