Arsenal Post Match Fred

Thought Sakho was poor today

You think everyone plays poorly. Are you a Real Madrid fan in disguise?

[Glenn Hysen]

If Lovren had been fit to play we would have lost.

[Rigadon]

Such an encouraging performace. Stupid mistakes at the back and not being clinical enough up front let us down, that's nothing new though and very difficult to change quickly. But we showed we can work as a team to control games and that's an important basis for progress. We need to carry this appetite and tenacity into our forthcoming games and get on a run here. It's not too late to catch a wave in to the CL places. Not much room for error though.

Aside from that...

Markovic is really starting to show some of the promise we all (well almost all) realise he has. Is he **** a 'miss'.

Sterling and Coutinho lively, but oh for them to be better finishers.

Lallana should be one of the first names on the team sheet. His ability to retain the ball in tight spaces keeps moves alive and makes things happen. Plus the guy can score, we need our best finishers to be playing.

The ref completely bottled the Flamini double booking.

Didn't stand out particularly, but I like Sakho. More Sakho please.

Skrtel remains an incredibly frustrating player.

Looking forward to seeing interviews with Claude and Ty.

Good summary

[RichC]

Just confirms that we need a finisher, the formation suits us and gets the most of what we have available annoyingly though without someone to stick the ball in regularly it's going to be a struggle still

Lallana needs to start every game he's fit one of the few that does have a genuine eye for goal and can play in such tight situations

[Keyser Soze]

The possession stat as impressive as it may be, doesn't tell the full story.
The majority of our possession was in our own half, Arsenal let our defenders have the ball knowing full well they can't hurt them with it.

Case, as utd have proved, get goalscorers and the rest looks after itself. Well enough to get you comfortable top four in this league.

Thought Sakho was poor today

Really?

[Robbie-9-Fowler]

WTF is rodgers on about the pitch at anfield is terrible?

Did you see it? Patchy, bobbly and not good enough for the level we're playing at.

[Slinky Skills]

Really happy with the performance, was excellent but let down by dog**** atrocious defending once again. Every ****ing week.

Rodgers just said the pitch is awful, really poor.......oh dear.
