Arsenal escape Anfield with a point through their skin of their teeth and this dude @ me

What did Man Utd escape the London Stadium with today?

I'd say so too. Didn't put a foot wrong, solid at the back. Passing percentage near perfect. Dribbled around man, remained strong.

But they'll give it to Rice.

That feint on Salah

And that wouldn’t be a robbery either. Rice was massive today as well.

Saliba MoTM

Cool as ice.

Best defender in the world. No quotes or challenges needed here.

Unfortunately we didn't have a 12th player on the pitch in the form of a referee like Arsenal did

Out of context, Declan Rice looks offsides

Did the referee score those two goals you conceded?

Saliba MoTM

If youda told me in 2021 Saliba and Gabriel would be the best defensive duo in England ida said you're on crack.

Saliba, Rice, Gabriel. Consistent 10/10 performers. Those three are the backbone of whatever we do this season.

It’s funny, we were potent upfront and struggled defensively towards the end of last season (losing Saliba of course) and now it’s the other way round.

Looking at the stats, we were threatening upfront today. But no end product.

When Partey is fit, what do we do? Declan is so solid there. Do we do double pivot? Push Declan up and spend games recalibrating what everyone is used to?

Bout to watch Osimhen vs. Lukaku

All I hope is that we sell him at the end of the season. He’s a liability off the pitch. Sell him to Man Utd… they like players in the mould of Greenwood and Ronaldo.

Arsenal ain't winning a title with that front 3, I'm convinced now.

Nah there is enough talent there, coaching is what's lacking.

Looking at the stats today, we had 49% possession and equalled Liverpool’s 13 shots at Anfield. What more can Arteta do if the front three aren’t putting their chances away?

I’m his biggest critic but there’s only so much you can do if your players aren’t delivering.
