Barclay's Premier League '14-'15 discussion V4

They were both decent. Some idiot who probably caught 5 minutes of the game made the stupid comment.

Sanchez is spent. Wenger said this 3 weeks ago he is in the red zone and needs a good rest. Which we can't afford.

Cheslea fans are obsessed with Sanchez because he has outplayed Hazard all season

I think Alexis just needs a rest tbh, a much deserved one I might add

If you think Coutinho losing the ball by running straight into players or Gerrard not making himself available forcing Henderson to cut in nearly to the left wing to find an open man then your expectations must really be low

Chambers got no help from Ox, it was understandable that he was underwhelming

This would be a great time for a winter break

Borini needs professional help

Debuchy was our best player. Mertesacker is awful this season. Can't believe he ducked out of Skrtel's way so he could score

We have no midfield. Even Lucas had a great game because there was no point of him staying back to mark no one.

Oxlade was shit but no one expected anything else since he was just about passed fit. Flamini is the worst DM we have had since post-crisis Denilson. Cazorla had to play DM.

Welbeck worked hard. Giroud was hot n cold. Gibbs was really good. Chambers was awful. Szczesny 2nd best player after Debuchy for us

All in all, Liverpool should have beaten us. But I also expected Arsenal to win after being 2-1 up in the 95th minute.

I don't agree that Coutinho loses too many balls from dribbles, even if he dribbles arguably abit too much. He's good at it.
His final passes and shots were too often bad.

Ox didn't play on the right side.

No one's obsessed with him, just tired of the ludicrous comparisons between him and Hazard. The latter is clearly a level above.

Funny how he's gone missing in yet another big game and not a single word of it from the media. If this is the guy they're trying to market as the best player in the League now that Suarez is gone they've got the wrong man.

Think Sterling will surpass him in about a year or two. That kid is definitely destined for greatness.

well, you thinking Hazard is a level above Sanchez is one side, everyone else including reality is on the other side.

Absolutely disgraceful challenge by Borini, Deserved a straight red and 3 match ban as well.

2nd time this season that Mertasaker ducks from high ball into the box, and it results in a goal. Did it v Stoke and tonight. Weird.

Of course you are obsessed with him. People discussing Liverpool vs Arsenal here. You bring in Hazard outta nowhere

Sanchez and Aguero(maybe Matic to an extent) have been the best players in the PL this season. Media have rightfully been saying that.

It wasnt an awful tackle, just an overeager one. Liverpool were pressing Arsenal back and back and then Coutinho lost the ball and Borini tried to wiin it in the air thats all. The challenge looked pretty weak I thought

Elgunner I am pretty sure it was Ox shielding Chambers on that side. Hence why Wenger subbed him off for Joel Cambell who did a little bit of a better job at it

We are on bare limbs. Oxlade shouldn't have been playing at all.

Seriously though Merte's ducking out of the day was embarrassing for a 6'7 CB. 96th minute and ducks outta the way

Gil pls stahp before I call Wor Ayoze

Welbeck and Sanchez kept switching in that position.

Ox played in the midfield.

Where the f is Walcott?? The guy has been out for nearly a year now. I swear to god Arsene should be more ruthless when it comes to dealing with those injury prone players getting injured for whole seasons.

Hala wtf are you talking about, Borini ripped Cazorla's shirt and made him bleed. Weak challenge Dat probably in itself is a red card let alone a second yellow.

RED

Liverpool deserved a win. Can live with the draw, but that was a great performance from them. The 3 - 4 - 3 looks legit so far. So much pressure on the other team since we switched. Just need to be more clinical could have easily beaten United and Arsenal.

Bleed??!!?? Stop exaggerating man

His cleats probably got stuck in his shirt and got ripped by the force of Borini's leg moving away

I know you guys hate Borini but that was definitely not a red card challenge. It was a yellow and thats what he got

Elgunner, I am pretty sure Sanchez played on Gibb's side

Yep. Liverpool were struggling to create all season, Rodgers changes the system and now they're creative and fluid.
That's what you'd expect from a manager.

Good on him, I was too harsh on him after the Utd loss.

End product still lacking and defenders still error prone, of course.
