[PL] Arsenal (H): Post Match

[Ams12]

For all of Moreno's attacking runs & energy & willingness to get forward, if only he had a shot like Riise!! Loved that guy he does come up with some great last ditch tackles though!

Hendo needs to practice his long shots & become our free kick specialist. We don't really have one do we. Or maybe Coutinho/Firmino could be.
Lallana & Moreno need to learn how to shoot!
Firmino's turn & shot was quite similar to Girouds goal but he clipped the top of the bar instead.
We need someone who will take the early shot up front instead of being part of some intricate play. Stick sinclair or ojo up front & give them a chance till sturridge/ings & origi get back to fitness.
Ibe needs to just release the ball earlier sometimes. Could pick up some tips from watching walcott or henry clips.

Was a cracking game to watch tonight! Pleased for Firmino especially. And Joe Allen came up with a hero's goal i'd have been well upset if we lost considering how we scored our 2 first goals & gifted them their first 2!

On to utd now & hope we have learned out lessons from today!

End of the day we should have won that but Mignolet again cost us dearly. We won't get anywhere with him between the sticks. I hope Klopp has his eyes on a replacement in the summer. He just hasn't progressed at all since buying him.

[Lecter]

You're the first person I've heard that said our crossing isn't ****. Moreno and Clyne for the positions they get themselves in, have awful end product and the standard of delivery from them and everyone else is poor. Our corners have been a joke for years too.

I think it's fair to say our crossing is **** and Bentekes movement is ****. It's a bit of a **** fest up there.

Watch how many times we put balls across the face of goal

It happens at least 1 or twice per match, they are the hardest balls to defend

If we had people gambling and attacking the 6 yard box then people wouldn't talk about the poor crossing

Now if you are talking about set pieces then that's another matter

[Cormack74]

Stuck the game on pause earlier and just finished watching it. Jesus **** we give away some **** goals. Decent vibrant attacking play ruined by worse keeping and defending than you'd see in a park.

[baitman]

Moreno is so frustrating as is Ibe. We need replacements for both I think.

Mignolet was a total liability and I'd bin him at the earliest opportunity. Ward should be knocking down the door to get a starting spot.
That said, hats off for that tremendous rush and punch where he took down two players! If he could do that more often instead of flapping, we'd not be having these conversations.

Can, Clyne, Milner, Henderson and Firmino were excellent tonight. Not sure who my 2nd and 3rd place player of the match would be out of them.

[frank the tank]

Moreno got into some good positions only to **** it up with his decision making or his ****e passing.

Lallana was garbage. He had a chance early on where he could have had a shot and he just wouldnt. Terrible.

I thiught hendo and Can were both very good. Milner was okay too.

[Nicey]

My God !!! I am in Love with Football again

My God !!! I am in Love with Football again

Much better hey, let's hope the U-21s can give Exeter a good battering at Anfield! Perhaps Ward will feature?

[vlahka]

I've noticed Lallana's reflexes are pretty ****. Many times the ball is too far from him or he reacts too slow with passes to him. Just watch when he plays. Theres like a 1-2second delay before his body moves to where the ball went. His anticipation is low.

[Darkon]

Well that was entertaining!

Frustrating game to watch. We played so well in the first half hour for it to be undone by 2 poor mistakes. Mignolet should never get beaten at the near post on the first and a corner should never be allowed to go straight to goal like that.

Firmino showed his old Hoffenheim level finishing which could be a good sign of things to come. Hendersons work rate for the second goal was brilliant winning it back twice in midfield.

Benteke finally got use of his head! Brilliantly won header to set up Allens goal - shows he might have a role here and there. Still think he can contribute although it's hard to see him being the main guy to lead most games.

Other than that we looked shaky defensively (again). Both in positioning and communication and not least the ease of which Arsenal could play through our midfield. So many times in that game they just bypassed our midfield with 1-3 passes and we were struggling every single time it happened.

I think a draw was a fair result and hopefully we can grap the much needed win next weekend coming off this. We really need to close that gap to fourth soon.

[Shaggy]

He's won absolutely nothing with us, been here five minutes, but I think I love him as much as any of our managerial legends.

Ya ****in dancer!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He can have the job as long as he wants.

[Harv]

Klopp keeps playing him though. As bad as he is. Makes Klopp a poor judge of player.

Why can't he sent him packing now so that you lot stop moaning bout him.

No, it doesn't. He's the only fit striker we have and even then he sits on the bench Klopp clearly thinks he's just as **** as most sane people on here do. He's a giant waste of spoof.

[Fredo]

Do you get an adrenaline rush with your expletives?

He would be effective in another system which doesn't make him useless. His problem is not adapting to our style of play. Different shades of grey eh.

[DeanoUK]

You're wrong Fredo. But you're used to that

I agree with Fredo and said the same at the time. He [Benteke] needs to stop demanding it at his feet and find the bloody goal scoring position everyone else thinks is bleeding obvious.
