Crystal was pointless going into that game, Liverpool was equally as hungry as they had just 1 point prior to the game. Crystal Palace was not expecting a win at Anfield and were okay with seeing the game through with 1 goal lead.
It’s the situation around the game we should assess.

What does Liverpool have to lose if they go all out attack even with a man down? Kindly answer.

they'll have Zero point(the minimum). It was just 3 minutes from the red card to the first goal.

But then, I understand you saying it's the situation about the game we should assess. I understand now

Liverpool is a pressing monster and they ran tirelessly throughout that second half. There's the home advantage and let's not forget it's anfield, where fans can be really frightening. Honestly, I expected Liverpool to get the win after Diaz goal cause we all know they're capable of doing so in these circumstances so it shouldn't be surprising

Actually, it would be surprising if they went on to win that game.
Diaz was already tired as at 80min leaving only Salah to work on those defenders. If 2 out of Jota, Thiago and Firmino wasn't injured, I believe they would have nicked it but they weren't. Injuries to me was the issue that killed Liverpool ystdy after Nunez foolishness.

Seeing Tsimikas, Henderson, Cavalho and Gomez coming in just tells me the extent it hits dem hard. I mean klopp needs goal and he's forced to put in defenders. Too bad!!

Inclusion of Jesus and a potential Winger called LB (zichenko) into the team turned Arsenal to prime BarceLOANa.

If not that our attackers didn't relent against Leicester the match would have ended draw and all blame goes to Saliba... imagine the error done by Saliba was done by Mustafi heaven would have come down.

Lol... This vayolenzz you wan cook, hope say e no go done oo

A master of consistency during his time here. He might not give you 10/10 every matchday but be sure to expect at least a 7/10 from him daily. A player without issues or complaints and always mostly available

A real legend have retired...

Nacho Mon-REAL. Congratulations on a good career achieved.

Wishing you the best of football aftermath

God bless you
Honestly arsenal of old will start panicking immediately we conceded that early goal and we might end up drawing or even losing then we blame saliba
You are also right that if it was mustafi we no go hear word again

Lol..how we even score immediately they scored is a thing of joy. I just hope it continues. How the fans did Saliba will help not to dampen his spirit.

I remember how Mustafi was once good, how he spiralled downward is just surprising

This one sweet me sha

Mustafi went bad because the fans never spared him, same with xhaka
We have one of the most toxic fanbase in england i am glad it's all going down

I read tielemans might sign for free next season unless xhaka leave this season

Our fans was really toxic thanks to the Wengerin, Wengerout palava then else I'm sure we have one of the coolest fans.

Yeah, I'm seeing conflicting reports sha. Some are reporting that it might be dragged till deadline day while some are saying arsenal are looking for a Jan precontract. Me I just dey watch sha

I believe we are taking our time and it might be the icing on the cake as this transfer is over for us

Jodera:
I think it's Wolves(first leg) you're referring to instead of Watford. But then that's not a direct example because we were leading 1-0 and had a red card, so it's logical for us to defend. It would have been different if Wolves had the red card and still pressed us with our 1-0 lead throughout the 2nd half.

And yeah, I understand the mental strength, Liverpool have it in ounces but it would have been difficult without the right tactics

Tactics means a lot, but in games like that, it's the mentality that speaks loudest.

My mind was actually on Nigeria Vs Tunisia. We dominated from start to finish but still lost.

Of all the additions to the first team that improved this season, two were defenders and one attacker. But agenda must agend.

The thing is that we haven't really understood the philosophy.

A good attack will win you games (just as on Saturday) but a good defense will win you the league.

Good attack - short term
Good defense - long term

That is why coaches start with fewer attacker but throw in more in the dying minutes when they are losing. A team that is winning does not throw in more attackers to secure the win. Instead they defend.

So attack is short term plan, while defense is long term. This philosophy cuts across all spheres of life, from business to military warfare, to negotiations, to family life etc.

That's why every season Arteta like any good coach tries to strengthen his defense.

Does that mean attack is not important? Definitely not. In fact attack is equally as important but like I said it is a short term goal, while the long term is defense.

Someone may say, attack is the best form of defense. That's true as it also goes to show that the reason for attacking is defense.

As a matter of fact, one if the reasons Arteta preferred Gabriel Jesus is his ability to press. What's pressing? Defending from the front.

I hope we are together.

Apparently CHO is the mystery Winger arsenal is after.
The rumor is gaining ground on twitter.
What do you guys think about Odoi

We no want i will accept pepe and his stupidity than that waste boy
E be like say arteta and edu dan they smoke igbo they want to ride on their luck abi

I don't know why they're not looking for CDM. Since Xhaka is balling in that role why not groom Sambi to take over while grooming a young CDM for Partey since we already have Viera for Odegaard. In this way our seamless integration from first team to second team go smooth

Unless we go brazil or South america for a young cdm to groom, the one in europe are ready made

Lol, naim you call Watford??

Even from Europe sef is better. Shey Sambi is from Europe and he wouldn't mind to be on the bench for now

Gbam !

Jodera:
Rob Holding na 2nd choice na. He'll pair with White when playing Europa and cup games

Better....

BlueRayDick:


Honestly I forgot he was an Arsenal player sef. I'm sure by January if his story doesn't change he would be looking for a move away from the club cos he Don try. Only God knows how he will feel seeing Saliba walk into the starting line-up while he's strapped to the bench for years

He is fully committed to the process sir. He I not going anywhere.

johnjunior39:
School is on Break. Lol

Until we need someone to help us close shop in a very tensed game.

With the way holding developed he's not going anywhere
He will be our milner and available when we need him
Only Europa, fa and Carling cup matches are sure for him
He indirectly caused us against spuds

It is impossible. Which CHO? Arteta is not that st*pid.

kokaneprodigy:
I noticed that your last line that day sha but just kept quiet, I just avoided the discussion on the subject all together.
Reason we should all learn to base our verdicts on data and not perception.
Perception worked against Luiz and Mistaffi in the court of public opinion.

Everyone with his own opinion.

Na so dem trend stupiiid rumor say we wan sign the spineless Jorginho last year when we were clamoring for a midfielder . All through that period I was using daily doses of “ God Abeg “ twice after every meal and God eventually forbid bad thing

If arteta wants CHO, I absolutely have no problem with it. The boy is good in 1vs1 and can play on both wings to a high degree which will give saka breathing space. Let's also not forget he still young and have his future ahead of him, I have no doubt arteta will help improve his A-game due to his reputation with working with wingers. He'll cook under arteta structure
