Martinelli was crocked last night and will be sidelined for a while. Big loss for them 

That's a shame

[Bobby Hundreds]

I just want to face these fuckers fully fit, strongest side and play at the level we can. At our best we shit all over their best.

[Fallen Angel]

After dumping them out of cup there I expected that. We were lethargic and lacked ideas - front line didn’t work and the subs changed nothing. Midfield was poor without Szobo and lacked balance - I’d like to see the team switch formations when players are out - play to the strengths of who we have fit, give opposition some guesswork; but we seem happy to have players fit into 4-3-3

 

Horrible to concede like that. Too many players way off their game. The better team wanted it more today that’s a concern. 
 

Another performance like that in the league this season will end any challenge for us. 

[Fowlers God]

However hard that was to take yesterday some things need to be taken with a pinch of salt and need to move on. 

 

• We have lost x 1 game all season (We didnt lose against spurs IMO)
• VVD and Ali BOTH have enough credit in the bank that they can have an off day
• Yeah its Klopp to manage but Dom; connor; Nunez was all out of his hands and managed in best way possible
• ITS STILL IN OUR HANDS- Win all our remaining games and we win the league

Not winning this weekend against Burnley and there are questions to be asked. Until that happens losing our first game away at Arsenal with big names missing is really alright at this stage of the season.

That will hurt them as he's a big part of their attacking intensity.

Didn't watch anything after the final whistle, but what the fuck is Odergaard on with, celebrating and taking photos after the match?

 

What a small time cunt.

Mirror image of his manager that cunt. Forever waving his arms around geeing up the crowd and crying about every decision.

You sure you are not getting mixed up with Martinez at the mancs? Can't see anything online about Martinelli....

[bossy]

What’s all this first loss of the season stuff? You can’t ignore the official Spurs result regardless of the shenanigans that went on.

Beat me to it. I think it's just a positive psychology trick though.

It won’t help if we lose the league by 2 points as the result stands. Will be fucking fuming about it but there’ll be nothing to be done. 

[Carra_is_legend]

I have watched some of the incidents again, still have no idea what the fuck was VVD trying to do for their 2nd goal. He should just fucking cleared it, pretty fucking basic. 

 

We didn't lose due to Taylor but the cunt still found a way to screw us - both yellows for Konate were questionable. 

 

For the 3rd goal there was a deflection off VVD, who should have closed down Trossard quite easily, but he chose to slowly jog back instead.

Van Dijk needs to sort his shit out. He's been largely imperious all season but could have cost us two penalties vs Chelsea & did cost us two goals last night. 

 

Not really good enough from him & hopefully it acts as a boot up his arse.

Agree 100%, he could have easily cost us points in the Chelsea game too. 

Need to cut that shit out.

This was a proper bumming really. Sometimes you get bummed, sometimes you bum them.

Not sure I agree with that, we played really poorly and still had to fuck up twice to gift them 2 goals. I thought it was a really poor game overall from both teams with Arsenal better than us because of how piss poor we were. 

[sh#t waffle]

Arsenal remind me a bit of Pochettino's Spurs - really aggressive, play at a crazy tempo, but with not that much substance beneath the intensity of the  press. As has been said elsewhere, in spite of how poor we were, without gifting them two goals we probably come away with at least a point.

Agreed they beat us this week and next week they will give away 3 points to a team they should soundly beat 

[El Rojo]

To Arsenal’s credit, Martinelli harried Virgil and Alisson into that mistake.

 

Nunez pissed me off with that abysmal effort and then accepting Gabriel’s roaring in his face over it. Felt a bit like Arthur shaking Guardiola’s hand last season. 

[Carra_is_legend]

What really pissed me off is the lack of intelligence from our players. We didn't exploit their whole backline on yellow cards by drawing some fouls. Even their substitute LB got booked in the 2nd half.

I'd have agreed if their second goal wasnt an horrendous mistake,or their third was the same with 10 men. We deserved to lose but still had a good chance not too despite an awful performance.

[bizzle10]

We were shite it happens in football it’s just a pity we were no show in a massive game can’t afford that against City at home still 15 games to go and we are in great position to compete for this title and big players to come back Up the disappointing at Arsenal away Redmen
