Ffs when are we going to get a proper fucking goalkeeper
He might be a better footballer than Cech and he’s made plenty of good saves but Leno has made plenty of fuck ups in a short space of time.
Flapping against Leicester when they hit the bar, flapping at Palace before the first penalty, flapping for van Dijk’s header and flapping for the goal.
The reality is that £25m is not a lot of money for a young keeper today and it looks like we’ve got what we paid for.
Can I just say that I remember when de gea joined manure first he was being written off by all and sundry, and now he is without doubt the best keeper in the world - I had seen de gea many times before he joined them c.unts so I knew he was a good keeper then, and I seen next to nothing of leno before he joined us, but I am reserving judgement on him until he has been here long enough to acclimatise. It should also be said that the victims keeper palmed out a similar cross in the first half in an almost identical way to what leno did, but he wasnt punished for it - thats not me saying leno wasnt at fault for their goal because I think that both keepers looked shit on these occasions
Our front 2 were shocking though - I know laca got the goal (a great run and finish tbf), but his effort (or lack thereof) up to that point was shocking.
Lee Dixon gave Laca MOTM . he was playing deep most of the match.
Watch the match back again later, and see just how many times we crossed or looked to cross the ball into dangerous area's, and neither lacazette not bangabang were there In my experience football hasnt changed that much that a centre forward is now no longer expected to make a run across the front post, and nor is your wide player expected to not bother coming in at the back post. Both were lazy and had suspect attitudes imo
Very good performance against a decent side. Something we haven't seen for quite some time. Once the game started I never thought we'd lose even when they scored.
Good to send the German tramp and his band of thieving dole scroungers back to their shithole without the three points.
City and dare I say it, the Chavs are way above the bindippers' level.
Either that or we just made them look ordinary today - klopp changed his formation twice, mainly down to our hard work, tracking back and tackling whilst we were always a threat.
As Augie said, we forced their keeper into two errors too, that header from Miti should have gone in and we had a goal disallowed too.
I feel confident we will beat Chelsea by keeping Hazard quiet, and City just lost Debruyne for another six weeks so he might not play against us in February.

Hear , hear. Them and the scum; both vile, horrific clubs with vile, horrific supporters. As much as the press are wanking themselves mad about them, the murdering bindippers have played City, the chavs and us and drawn all three. That's not title winning performances, that's second or third. Give us a year and we'll be way above their level.
no complaints from me at all tonight,the players ran their socks off and gave it everything,to get level against Liverpool shows Emerys hard work ethic is paying off,we looked organised,held our shape when defending and were breath taking at times going forward.im not getting the Leno bashing either,he has made some worldy saves for us,he cost just 25m, look how much Allison cost Liverpool and the howlers hes had including tonight.not sure of the point in playing Rambo,his heart isn't in it now and you cant blame him knowing he is just passing through this season,as for iwobi he was again outstanding when he came on,when hes like that hes unplayable,and welbeck has to be tied down to a new contract,to have him as an option off the bench is such a bonus,Liverpool shit themselves when he came on and his presence helped get us the goal.once again Emerys subs did the business.its nice to see our Arsenal again
Xhaka’s best game in an Arsenal shirt for me. Him and Torreira ran amok against their midfield 3. Won everything back and choked the service to their front three.
Holding was excellent too. Put his body on the line and looks to be making fewer naive mistakes week by week. When Sokratis is fully fit surely we have to drop Mustafi.
Thought that a lot of good chances broke down at Mkhitaryan. I’m just not sold on the bloke at all.
