A question for Arsenal fans.

Walcott is a typical one trick pony and Jack knew that.

It's go on the outside and the kick the ball infront and run, that is how Walcott plays. He's predictable, just like Bale.

It's not about how predictable you are, it's about your ability to stop him.

Bale doesn't always go on the outside.....but even if he does and the defender knows it.....Bale is fast enough and has enough ball control to beat him anyway.

Walcott was dealt with by Robinson better than Aurelio...though maybe that's because Liverpool sat back more......Arsenal were still putting balls into the box from the left, right and centre....the defence did enough though.

Imo, I don't think we parked the bus as you say, rather play a deep midfield that sat just on the toes on the back 4. This was done to stop the likes of Fabregas, Wilshire and Nasri, picking the ball up in little pockets inbetween the middle and defence where it becomes very dangerous.

I don't think Fabregas was firing all cylinders and had a fairly poor game to what he usually produces. Lucas followed the players and helped out both of our young full backs well. Nasri played well and actually attacked Flanagan unlike Man City, we saw Flanagan jump in a lot and get easily out done, but he did have some good points to his game today.

Yet again, Suarez didn't have a blinder, well niether did Carroll to be honest. Arsenal's defence handled Carroll very well today. Once Shelvey came on, he looked pretty promising, I would like to see him in a holding midfield road as he doesn't seem to have that brillance going forward of what other players we might bring in, in the summer.

Not that much of a difference at all. Yet apparently, we parked the bus? Do you genuinely think that, or were they just hot-headed comments?

I'm just gob-smacked at the ineptitude of the Arsenal attacking force, which consisted the likes of Robin Van Persie, Nasri, Walcott and Fabregas. Against a 17 year old, an 18 year old and two of the slowest centre backs in the League. What is your opinion on that?

Not trying to wind people up, I'm just trying to get your real opinion. Are you really angry at the ref? Are you really angry at our fans? Or are you actually angry at Arsenal once again proving that they don't have the bottle to win any competitions?

From the 70th minute on Liverpool basically built the Titanic in our end of the field. There were times when you had 9 men in our end of the field, that goes well beyond parking the bus. From the 45th to 65th minute you looked like you wanted to win the match and then you basically went into playing for the draw mode with Suarez and Kuyt being the only players in the attacking end of the field. You played good defensively that much I can't take away from Liverpool, but you did park the bus.

Regardless of who your back line was our midfield didn't do much of anything. Nasri looked to be the only player that actually wanted to make something happen. Fabregas was bad to day. I won't go so far as to say he was shit, but he was off big time. Diaby is absolute shit and any Arsenal supporter that actually rates him is fucking mad. Wilshere was alright, but again nothing special. Not sure why people keep bringing up the fact that you were playing with some young players in your team because that doesn't mean anything. If they are good enough to get into the team that means they are quality players regardless of their age. Today Liverpool played solid defense and stifled our attack. Our complete lack of being able to adjust to teams being in a defensive mode is the reason why we can't win close matches or end up drawing with teams when we dominate. We owned the first half yet got nothing out of it and in the 2nd half we were just dead.

Not mad at the ref or the fans and Arsenal didn't bottle anything. Some days you have it and some days you don't. People are treating this match like we lost it when in reality we drew with them. The game should have ended 0-0 because I personally don't feel either situation was a penalty. In the end we dropped points, oh well, shit happens. Time to move on.
