Rodgers Some serious trolling right there.

Liverpool fans actually think Coutinho is a better football than Ozil because he hit the post a couple of times today

Is Firminho even good?

I think he's going to be a massive flop. I had barely heard of him before he moved other than his shite performances at the Copa.

Didn't Scott say he was an amazing dribbler?

He was never going to settle in straight away. He showed glimpses of what he's capable of so I reckon he'll come good eventually. Jordan Ibe on the other hand looked horrendous in every way possible. Liverpool fans were saying he's better than Sterling during pre-season

Typical generalisation of the whole fan-base.

I especially liked when he sent Bellerin to Uranus in the build up to his curler that Cech finger-tipped onto the post. Apparently Bellerin can still be found searching for the ball at the Emirates right now. That was a proper Houdini move. Looking forward to when a GIF arises.

PS. Arsenal fans overate Ozil so much. Ronaldo made him look better than he is.

No chance will Firmino flop. Did you even watch the game? He's the one who put a difficult ball on a plate for Bentekkers to have his shot saved and had a few nice dribbles where he completely beat his man.

Seleção Brasileira @BrazilStats
Roberto Firmino made most successful dribbles (4) and created most scoring chances (3) in the game. @Roberto_Firmino

That's more than the likes of Sanchez, Cazorla, Coutinho and Ozil and he wasn't even on the pitch for the full 90 minutes

Dunno what you were watching. Solid game from him, for me. Especially considering it was his first start and the high pressure fixture that it was.

Ibe is shit. Again, stop generalising all Liverpool fans into one group.

Yeah Ibe was horrible, seems to lose the ball everytime he takes somebody on. I'm looking forward to Benteke + Sturridge.

Mouthwatering prospect for me, the idea of Benteke, Sturridge and Firmino up top with Coutinho behind them.

Benteke has been a lot better than I expected him to be. Honestly thought he'd be another Andy Carroll, but he's proving me wrong so far with his ability on the ball. Loved it when he'd receive the ball and then turn and run at the Arsenal defence. That's something most Arsenal fans wish Giroud would do, I reckon, and it's something we've missed up front since Sturridge was fit.

When I say that do you actually think I'm talking about all 300m+ Liverpool fans in the world? And yeah, that was nice, he beat a young defender. It was almost as good as Ozil sending Rossiter back up his mothers uterus

He didn't just beat him He humiliated him by making him do a full 360 turn and still not know where the ball was.

Ozil and Rossiter? Can't have been that good if I don't even remember it. Besides, Rossiter is shit. He's basically Jay Spearing. Whereas Bellerin is better than Clyne, apparently

Funny how a player who's 2 years younger than Bellerin had Sanchez in his pocket, though.

Gomez

One of the most highly regarded playmakers destroys an 18 year-old nobody, what an absolute shocker.

Ibe has had a dreadful season so far.  And Gomez was facing Ramsey/Oxlade Chamberlain.  Sanchez was predominantly on the left against Clyne.

Nothing shocking about Bellerin struggling against skillful players either. That's his major weakness, did you see Grealish destroy him in the FA cup final?

I did watch the game. Sanchez had absolutely no joy down the right. Gomez had his number, keys, wallet, home address, wife and car.

Another Liverpool player that is the best in the league, shame that you aren't in the champions league this year, you could win it.

So salty

I've never seen a team consistently celebrate drawing against teams like they've won the premier league.

And you probably never will.

All in all, it was a pretty disappointing result for us, considering West Ham spanked you 2-0 with a 16 year old playing in DM. Perspective.

Although, I do take great solace in knowing that we dispatched a classy Bournemouth side who humbled the mighty West Ham 3-4 and a CL player-riddled Stoke team who bravely fought back against Spurs at WHL when 2-0 down to draw the game 2-2.

Sanchez safely tucked away in Gomez's back pocket



Coutinho making Bellerin spin like a ballerina



Bellerin

Not sure Azim Khan understands what Sufism is.

Remember when Bellerin was allowed to cut in on his left foot and curl one in?

Remember when Ozil made Coutinho look like one of those people on black Friday looking for a TV?

Typical Arsenal fans living in the past.

I can do that too

Coutinho leaving your defender for dead before firing in a sublime shot.



Coutinho mugging off your entire team.

Sounds good to me, living in years where Arsenal had better seasons.

Just a pity I can recall/live in better achievements from the past

I remember watching us storming the CL in 2005, producing the best final of all time. And I remember when my father held me aloft in his strong arms at Anfield when we won our last League Trophy in 1989.

Good times.

However, it's irrelevant.

Because I live for the now.

Mind the gap.

Unfortunately there is no Arsenal achievement that eclipses Liverpool winning the Champion's League

I'd take an unbeaten season over cheating in the champions league.

Ah, the famous "Invincibles".

Except they actually lost about 7 times in all competitions that season.

The memory of winning a Champion's League Final is always going to trump a League win, hands down

I don't begrudge you of trying to elevate the "unbeaten" season over a Champion's League win, though. Because you don't know any better.

Maybe one day you'll win it and then you'll realise just how much better of an experience it is

Sanchez only went on the right 2 or 3 times in the entire game when Ramsey switched flanks or played centrally? If anything it was Clyne and Giroud's inability to hold the ball up that kept Sanchez quiet. That and the fact that he wasn't even fully fit but yeah lets just say it was Gomez because he shielded the ball from him.
