I’ll take the win, but fuck me, that was an awful performance. We hardly touched the ball until they gifted us the first goal.
I know that he’s got fuck all to work with, but I can’t work out Arteta’s team selections, or the way he sets them up. The centre of our defence is like a rusty sieve and the midfield is non existent. Someone made the point earlier that Liverpool were pouring through our midfield as though it wasn’t there....I suppose it wasn’t really ! I still maintain that as bad as our defence is, the biggest problem we have is in centre mid, because it neither protects the defence, nor creates anything going forward. He has to drop Xhaka, but we all know he won’t.
Wtf is Pepe all about ?? The bloke is fucking hopeless and clearly thick. 72 million ffs.
Many on here don’t like Lacazette, but imo, we should play a front two of him and Auba.
Once again, Arteta’s substitutions made no sense. Why take Nelson off, who at least was making some kind of effort and leave Pepe on?? Maybe like the rest of us, Arteta had forgotten he was on the pitch. Why bring Willock on (he shouldn’t be anywhere near the side) with Auba and put Willock as centre forward and Auba on the wing ?!! It removed any possible threat we had and meant that we spent the last 20 or so minutes with everyone behind the ball.
The result apart, this was as bad as anything we’ve seen.
Oh and it’s fucking embarrassing watching Sol interviewed ! You couldn’t find someone with less charisma and articulacy if you tried.
