That was as much Saliba as Gabriel

Get rid of the f*cking thing you stupid French c*nt!!!!!

Saliba has looked dodgy all game. Dwelling on the ball or out of position.

Our ability to conjure up a way of conceding a goal from nothing is quite astonishing.

Yep..Just the half time gift that insures we’ll be on the back foot for the entire second half before crumbling to yet another Scouse mugging.

Liverpool though…We could be two up with five minutes remaining and, well, we know how this plays out.

On the upside, we have made the league leaders look like relegation fodder we are so good

We've been excellent but we've ****ed it up. Not sure that is rally worth celebrating :-)

We have to stop doing this. It is really, really ****ing annoying. The equivalent of dropping straightforward catches in cricket.

How the **** did Saka miss that header?? :-)

Well that was enjoyable - clearly the better team and clearly in the chase for the league.

Well done Arsenal and well done Arteta!

Nice of Liverpool to return the favour :-)

Jorginho excellent in two different roles and, I have criticised him previously, Raya was excellent- flawless handling throughout.

Very good point. Not impressed at all.

Gary Neville agrees with you re Jorginho making him MotM. I too have eaten my previous critical words.

Havertz defended well in the latter stages.

The Gabriel - Polish Chap attacking combo was pretty impressive!

Perhaps we've found the midfield we were looking for - they were all awfully good and we seemed to have the right balance.

We've drawn with Liverpool away in a very even game, completely outplayed them at home and deservedly beaten City at home.

This should be fun :-)

And no doubt you noticed that Gabi and Saka had far more 1v1s with the FBs than we usually see.

Possibly because we moved it more quickly through midfield (even with Rice there :-) ) or possibly because Liverpool didn't actually come for a draw. Or possibly both.

Raya was as much at fault for their goal as Saliba, he started to come and then stopped. Should have cleaned everyone out

I did consider that but the ball was travelling quite slowly. As he approached Diaz got round Saliba and at that point he cant clean them out.

Sometimes the keeper charging out can lead to disaster :-)

[Pat Vegas]

I blame Saliba for it. should have just hoofed it at that point of the half.

Can't do that sort of thing anymore, I'm afraid. They'd take away his ball-playing centre-halves club membership card and badge :-\

I was extemely pleased when Liverpool had a similar error later on. I was thinking to myself this sort of thing only happens to us.

Also I think Klopp was a but over confident he probably thought let Arsenal beat themselves again. didn't work this time.

Right. The equaliser did them more harm than good.1-nil down at the break having created nothing, they would've been planning on changing something. 1-1 though and it's "As you were, lads."

Our press was electric in the first half, we caught them out again and again. Most of the exposure came from that rather than from our deep possession (e.g. the first goal). Raya also set us off on counter attacks, including the one where Martinelli completely roasted them :-)

Still, we never really played out through the press, we went long (e.g. the wonderful second goal). Havertz certainly makes this more effective.

Odegaard still isn't playing at his best but he contributes so much.

You did see our first goal did you, Peter?

I think I remember seeing it but must admit I don't remember the build up. Terrible finish from Havertz.

Just watched it again. Excellent work :-)

We should do more of it...
