ARSENAL=winners

total nonsense beaten no mark teams so far lost to liverppol lucky to get a late point v city.

lay em

wont win it....not good enough

I think Dragon is secretly shaking in his boots, he knows full well last season Liverpool had no competition due to Arsenal's injuries to key players and with Man City inexplicably falling off of a cliff so Slot had a free run at the title with Klopp's team whilst keeping all of his best players fit.

This season Arsenal have doubled down and strengthened every position so there's no excuses with injuries and City are slowly getting back to where they were. All the while Slot, who didn't make a single signing in his first window because the squad was already that well plenished, then tries to stamp his own mark with his mega signings which has completely gone against Liverpool tradition in the transfer market, and has so far failed, even though they're second they look miles away from gelling as a team, T-A-A hasn't been replaced sufficiently, Bradly no where near that technical level, Salah clearly misses Trents support and assists, he looks a shadow of his former self, Frimpong has a lot of pace but is more rough rather than a rough diamond. Arne's even had to shove Szoboszlai at right back to help out. Ekitike is a good player but looks like Liverpool didn't really need him. Looks like the league is too fast for Wirtz so far. Macalister misplacing so many passes.

I think 3rd or 4th for Liverpool this season.

Kind Regards.

You do realise that the dippers have won the premiership once more than Bkackburn and Leicester....

Just let that fact sink in....

dont you all realise that the op is money tree ....says it all really

an arsenal fan celebrating winning the league before the clocks go back. htehb?

dont think the op is a gooner

Rodri?

Arteta will be in real trouble if he doesnt win it this year with Liverpool and City going through changes

Another £300m in transfers with minimal outgoings

The toughest challenge for Arsenal is the mental challenge facing Arsenal. I think they have confidence but not enough arrogance. I think they will acquire it over this season. All they need is a flat track bully like Gykores hitting the net. I think even Havertz could score regularly in this team.

Gykores will stretch the defence to give more room for Eze and Odegaard to operate in. Saka will always be double teamed but the others can use the space.

Liverpools lucky streak is over. Citeh are not complete and Rodri is vulnerable. Van D yke or Harland get injured?

Can the bitter dippers think about their comments before posting.

arsenal are taking your trophy I think.

but I will add that if they slip up it will 100% be you winning the prem

Are you having laugh, what possible relevance does Morton(who?), Quansah, Tsimikas, Mc Connell? (who?) Doak possibly have- all complete irrelevances ffs

That's not the reason why you've been struggling is it

If you wanted to go down that route, then we've lost Tavares, Tierney, Zinchecko, Partey, Jorghino, Sterling, Neto, Hein, Tomiyasu, Nelson, Viera, Konga, Marquinhos and Kiwor.

Slot had a free ride last season after Arsenal had lots of injuries to key players, now we have cover.
Slot is struggling in the league for a few reasons, one being he is moaning after every game that the opposition is not playing the way he wants them too, complaining about long balls and over physicality, was at it again last night, sayig the difference last night was that Frankfurt was not playing the ball in the air, translation, that's for lying down and rolling over for us

Kind Regards.

those departures were one transfer window not over many Quansah played 17 games

Arsenal crying over injuries last season were well overplayed. The points they dropped early season were when key players were available

Saka was an injury waiting to happen and was Artetas fault as he seemed to play every minute with no rest

Arsenal crying over injuries last season were well overplayed. The points they dropped early season were when key players were availabl

22nd September -  2-2 Man City - lost Odegaard
October 19th - Bournemouth 0-2 - lost Saka and Odegaard
27th October - 2-2 Liverpool - lost Saliba, Odegaard
November 2nd - Newcastle 0-1  - lost Odegaard
8th December - 1-1 Fulham - lost Gabriel
4th January - 1-1 Brighton - lost Saka
18th January - 2-2 Villa -lost Saka, Jesus
22nd February - 0-1 West Ham - lost Saka, Martinelli, Havertz, Jesus
26th February - 0-0 Forest - lost Saka, Martinelli, Havertz, Jesus
9th March 1-1 Man United - Lost Saka, Havertz, Jesus

at this point, league was already lost, you can't lose that many key players across the course of the season and expect to win. Kind Regards.

So to February you lost one or 2 players  out of your massive squad
Jesus hardly started as well
You’ve made my point for me

I’m  not moaning about the physicality of the league just making the observation
that perhaps Liverpool need to put out a more physical side when we are playing
a set piece team
I used to watch us struggle against the likes of Wimbledon, Bolton and Stoke who
used to play like that

No.

We dropped all those points because we lost those key players in stark contrast to Liverpool who barely lost any of these key players throughout the season, any reasonable, sensible thinking person would simply acknowledge that but I undertand how difficult it is for some people to take of the rose tinted spectacles. The Arsenal squad did not have the depth last season to cover those injured like it does this season, therein lies the difference, it's the year we lost Saliba when top of the league and he was replaced by Holding who was God awful, and City went onto win the league. When Saka was out last season we had the busted flush that was Sterling in his place, this season we had Madueke who is far better, when we lost Odegaard last season we had Merino, this season we have Eze who's far better in that role.

They will click and gel eventually, but still Arsenal look to be the strongest squad in the league this season.

Kind Regards.

I wouldn't call what Liverpool did last year lucky, they were just very clinical in attack. I doubt they'd have been able to replicate that again with the same players but I wouldn't call it lucky, just much more ruthless and aggressive and prepared to take more risk.

Arsenal took a big step down last season in attack. Yes, they had injuries to key attacking players but they were as bad in attack when those players were fit. Manager seems to be relying more on his defence and set-pieces this season and last and getting the ball forward more slowly, allowing teams to set up shop defensively in a low block instead of trying to hit them on the counter before they can do that. They have 5/15 PL goals from open play, 10/15 from corners and pens so far. Better defensively and without the ball but that is concerning and something different to the new attackers still finding their feet.

I think Liverpool were lucky but collectively

Citeh were spent

Arsenal missed their chance

Liverpool got plenty of late goals, ok Champions do but there was a large element of luck at times.

They were lucky they did not get serious injuries to keep players, maybe their training techniques are better but as I keep saying an injury to Harland or van D yke and the race is over!

I still feel Arsenal need a better centre forward. Thing is they have strength everywhere else they can identify and target the final piece

City were without Rodri who was absolutely fundamental to their team, was not a Balon D'or winner for nothing.
Arsenal lost too many key players throughout the season and didn't have enough strength in depth to cover.
Liverpool lost Alisson to be replaced by Kelleher who looked very very good. I imagine they wanted to keep him but with his level deserved first team football elsewhere.

That's about the long and short of it, of course Liverpool deserved to win the league because they won it after 38 matches. But the simple point people make is that they were never under any real pressure from any other team throughout the course of the season and they managed to keep all their most pivotal players fit throughout.

That's not to say that they would not have won the title even  if Rodri as fit and City did not inexplicably fall off a cliff losing game after game after game or Arsenal having their best players fit, but the point remains that they basically had a free run at the league title unchallenged.

They are only 4 points behind now, but based on the all the evidence thus far, Arsenal are deserved favourites, they were even favs when 1 pt behind Liverpool, the market know what it's looking at, but that can change.

Kind Regards.
