Thread: Decent point that.

  1. #1

    Decent point that.

    Possibly showed them a bit too much respect at times but not many sides go there and win.
    4pts from them and the Scousers eh ?

    Very happy with that. Great illustration of our progress this season. We didn't flood the press and fall into their trap like last year and the back four were outstanding. Tried to be more aggressive early in the second half and it almost worked a few times.

    Very little threat for much of the game but it is just so difficult to interrupt the way City control a game.

    Great point

    Absolutely right.

    But… remember 98 when we went to OT and beat them?

    That’s how titles are won.

    Bergkamp, Anelka and Overmars
    "Plenty of strikers can score goals," he said, gesturing to the famous old stands casting shadows around us.

    "But a lot have found it difficult wearing the number 9 shirt for The Arsenal."

    Considering City's record at home we did well... But we really needed a win. Reckon Liverpool have got this league in the bag.

    If I may respectfully differ John - I think Klopp’s players

    will soon start to fade because they know he’s off at the end of season. They will subliminally become less inclined to run through walls for the toothsome German.

    They’re also a shade below both ourselves and City in terms of quality. Those Thursday night Euro fixtures won’t help either

    To put it in table terms for the three contenders:

    CLUB GP W D L PTS

    Arsenal 4 2 2 0 8
    Man City 4 0 3 1 3
    Liverpool 4 0 3 1 3

    One can't help but look at the new year results. If they had just been around average that 5 point lead seen here would also be in the league table.

    Let’s hope the title doesn’t hinge on those fraudulent 3pts that Liverpool mugged from Forest.
