pennant is virtually a starter for u guys, walcott isn't for us.

Do you see me calling Pennant a top player? And he's virtually a start down to injuries.

It's like me saying Djorou is virtually a starter for your lot

I am sure even without injuries, pennant will a lot of games. u cant say the same for djourou or walcott.

Of course he'll play certain games, what would have been the point in signing him if we weren't going to play him?

we will play this:

Kewell, Sissoko, Alonso, Gerrard

most likely

with Pennant and garcia pushing for right mid maybe

Garcia > Kewell at left mid. But if play Steve rather than Pennant on the right then you've got no width.

I would think that

-----Sissoko---Alonso-----
Gerrard----Garcia----Kewell
------------Kuyt

is a possibility.

For sure.

@Obispo,

Not being better than Liverpool isn an insult, on there day they can beat anyone (as we have found out)

when I mentioned the 10 years thing I did so, to highlight the fact that Arsenal have had great players for the past 10 years and the current crop of players are of that high standard.

Liverpool have not had that base of great players to work from, as Rafa is being bankrolled by a corrupt Russian he cant afford to overhaul the team with world class players, so is stuck with some average players who arent championship winning material.

I have watched all of Liverpools games against the big teams and I have watched them stuggle because they lack that special magical player who runs with the ball upsets defensive systems and makes things happen. Arsenal have these players.

They have dropped alot of points to lower teams and so have you. But now Henry is back who scores loads of goals against these sort of teams, they will start to win more of these games.

Hahahahaha, arguement setled. Arsenal have already had a better season than liverpool, further in the Fa cup further in the League cup and will be further in the CL. I also think we will finish above liverpool. 6-3!!!!!

do the 21 people who said liverpool will have a better season then arsenal still agree?

Should we redo the vote

If they beat Chelsea they will. These two Cup games mean nothing in the overall terms.

yes they do, if arsenal go on to win one of the cups, the games would mean a lot.

Actually we've got 2 games against Barcelona coming up.

Are you Merson in disguise or something?

read it carefully. If you beat Barcalona that would be more amazing than i dont know......... losing at anfield 2 times in a row to the same club.

They can easily be out of both and in the same situation as Liverpool in 2-3 weeks and more importantly it wouldn't be that unexpected for you to be out of one of them.

If you ask me, it would be a travesty if Arsenal finished below Liverpool this season in the league. You are the better team.

So far..............

Arsenal 3-0 Liverpool

Arsenal 3-0 Liverpool (Prem)
Liverpool 1-3 Arsenal (Fa Cup)
Liverpool 3-6 Arsenal (League Cup)

Gutted i chose not to watch this game. I saw the teams and assumed it was going to be shit.

Arsenal are always exciting kimbo

It wasnt a great game but Arsenal did very well , handled the pressure well , Liverpool should really take notice of that defending , it was woeful.

6-3 haha oh dear...just found out. paletta and hyypia the dream partnership.

More to thank for being out of it

it's cost us gonzalez and garcia though so at least it can cost us no more players

I take a 'wild' stab in the dark

Liverpool now aiming for 'at least' a semi final place in the European Cup and maybe a top 3 (top 2, greedy) finish in the Premiership.

top 2 will be great.. can't remember the last time the team was able to focus exclusively on just the league.. obviously the matches against the top teams will decide how close we get to 2nd/1st..

barca is a horrific draw but you just never know...

anyway with being the most successful team since the turn of the millenium it's about time we let other teams win a few trophies


cue spanky and lrd spitting the dummy

No, I don't mind. You can lie to make youself feel comfortable all you like.

Why has the game cost you Gonzales and Garcia?

Both were injured? Could be a while out aswell. We've also lost Momo aswell.

With hindsight it would have been better to go out to Reading in the first round.

With hindsight it would have been better for you to just forefeit the game

Does this mean Aurelio will now have the left wing position?

I must admit I've been far from impressed by Gonzales this season, hes been ok but not lived up to the hype, one for the future for sure though

Gonzalez needs time. Things like last night don't help. He has a month or so of fitness, then a niggling injury keeps him out for 2-3 weeks.

I'd rather see Aurelio at leftback and Riise on the wing.

Is that because you don;t trust riise at left back?

Not in current form. Also, Riise's more of a goalthreat (atleast at the moment) going forward and his ability in the air would be good if he was running into the box on the end of crosses from the right.
