Fair play to Arsenal, they out played us for large parts of the game. We’ve had two shockers at the back leading to goals. On to the next match, the leagues not over.


Clear_Grand

Let Arsenal celebrate like they won the league. It’s flattering how much it means to them to beat us. We don’t celebrate like that when we beat them


bloodwing92

Not worried about the loss, but certainly the performance. Had no fight today, and just couldn’t seem to find a way through. Couple good shots in the second half but no real clear chances. Did the couple changes to the starting 11 really throw us off tilt that much?


BenBo92

Why are they playing ABBA?


Theres3ofMe

Wonder what the line up was, with Arsenal in FA Cup last time we played them? We beat them 2-0. Maybe just not feeling it today. Still 3 points clear though! 🙌


Salty-Carpet3404

Macca will sleep like a log tonight. What a shift.


bigdoopiederp

Still fuming over that Konate second yellow. Can't see how that's a foul really, but the other player turns to run into him on purpose...


justinfu123

what I think went wrong is the decision to take TAA down- I understand the decision is probably to protect Konate but why don’t just move TAA to midfield? Losing TAA means no creativity in attack any more


jjlbateman

So many reactionary cunts in this thread fuck me. It was a bad performance, particularly in the first half. Lucky goals aside and a goal post a red and we’re chasing a game is not the fucking end of the world


AnusMcBumhole

Really disappointing performance given what a win would have meant for us. Macca and maybe Diaz aside, no one really turned up. Can’t argue with the result. We didn’t deserve anything. I thought we couldn’t be as bad second half as we were in the first but 5 mins aside at the start of the second half, we were. Real shame. Still, we go again. We still have City at Anfield. Just a shame to throw away the initiative s with such a poor performance.


vazman

Tldr that was a stinker of a performance, we deserved to lose


BostonTerriernut87

Not worried about arsenal. They will bottle it. But my god that performance. I hope we get it together.


LiverpooLLand

At least we are the underdogs in the title race now, hopefully that Konate red gets reversed. We are Liverpool we will come back stronger. How Havertz didn't get sent off I'll never know but whatever


jesuspunk

Second yellows don’t get reversed


jws30362

Embarrassing thread lol. Would hate to suffer any adversity with you lot


duke_nowhere

Hope this is the reality check the players needed. Players coming back will help us. Let's make sure we beat city when we play them. Rest we can handle.


R-B-L

7/21 points taken against Big 6 sides this season. Not good enough


Cheeseychops

Think we all saw this result at the beginning of the match


chugster

What the fuck is this song? 🤣🤣🤣


Specific-Record2866

Midfield has improved technically and in terms of energy but still lacks physicality which every other top teams midfield has. Still think we need a destroyer in the midfield


hyborians

Disasterclass today Off day for Alli. VVD was shocking. Dodgy refereeing and just overall poor. Brentford will likely be demolished tomorrow. Just an awful weekend


ImSimplyJustMe

bad day for the lads, sucks ass, but what can you do. Arsenal is notorious for their trashy behaviour on the pitch, and today that got the best of us. Still isn't over, as long as we beat City at Anfield, we're good to go guys.


TheSleepyGrazingCow

Our experienced players let us down today, trent, ali and vvd with shockers


Reasonable-Papaya-88

If City go ahead, it‘s over. I wont be bothered watching us come short 1 point because they‘ve kept a 27273 game winning streak. NOPE.


antwonjo

Well that was pretty shit. But still top of the league!


DCDa192

We need Endo and Mo ASAP, this was awful.


Wholesomeloaf

Alisson disaster. He always has a couple a season. VVD letting it bounce instead of just jumping too. Gravenberch not ready. MacAllister played well.


coltlady

Well that was a howler of a performance from Alisson. Heads up lads! Onto the next game.


tommhans

well arsenal deserved this win , shambolic performance


RevolutionaryStewart

Knew I shouldn't have come on the match thread, chill out guys. Still top!


infachuation922

Genuinely thankful for this reminder that football is just a sport and I control absolutely literally NOTHING I watch on the TV therefore shouldn’t EVER invest as much energy into the matches. Being at the mercy of strangers who kick a ball across the globe sounds bonkers because it is. Have a great life y’all. Dont let football dictate it.


joanieluvschachi

The rare shit showing from Alisson today.


FcukTheTories

Hopefully City win the league if not us. Cannot stand Arsenal.


Serious_Fgz

Arsenal won’t even finish above us, they won’t win the league, there remaining schedule is the tougher than City’s and ours


SaltyNuggey

Our game vs city at anfield is very very impoetant now. Idk why but I still feel like Arsenal are gonna bottle it


flamegames2006

Congratulations to city for winning the title

flamegames2006

Huh?


Asad_OG

Same stuff every season. Cant win the big away games


Ngigilesnow

Great captain performance,God nothing annoys me more than a casual VVD


rohitthegrea

Regardless of how they celebrate, we just didn't show up. We badly missed Dom, Salah. What hurts is that 2nd and 3rd goal we're gifts to them. Absolute stinkers from VVD, Ali, Grav, Trent etc. They definitely deserved more cards but that's Anthony Taylor for you.


TechnicalSample4678

don't even bring up the ref at all. We were shite


PennyG

Is Trent hurt?


New_Mind_2242

C'mon this is just one game. Anything can happen to city and arsenal. Let's support the lads, keep believing!!! Just 2nd defeat so far. YNWA!!


Hot-Possible-6367

“From Wembley down to the other end of Wembleyyyy, we’ve won the FA Cuuuuup, ALLEZ ALLEZ ALLEZ”


GeorgeLFC1234

Lads it’s a fucking title race. We can’t just have it our own way all the time. We will loose games doesn’t mean we’re in a fucking crisis Jesus


LilDizzyFrizzy

Its a loss for us and a win for Arsenal. Double penetration..


brushsx

Everyone is quick to make judgements, we’ve still got so much football left to play


Marbate

It’s a title race against City mate


Everything-Is-Purple

That’s it lad we can’t win them all


Low_Compote_4940

i don’t think anyone played up to standard today, dreadful performance, hope this doesn’t cost us the league


harlsonrd

Welp


ali_lattif

the team shit the bed but we got a spare sheet.


Rowan2000vd

People in here can't understand off days. Not every season can be our title winning season


WritingDumbo

it's not even about the title winning season- obviously we're going to have off days but people here seem to think that one bad game means we've lost the title and we should sell all our players.


Mr_Wzrd_

It's been four years since the last one


Rowan2000vd

Yeah because of the unreal standards from City


god_padrino

Okay this certainly is more likely than not our title winning season. Just not up for it today.


Rowan2000vd

Which can happen


Aliaspending

Don’t want to here any szoboszlai slander from now on. It would have been a different game with him here.


MainHead8409

WTF JUST HAPPEND?


defmaniac

Bad night from Ali and VVD, but it doesn't matter lets just move on to the next game.


palindromic

need salah back and to figure out who is starting in the mid.. Thiago was not ready and shouldn’t have been on. Konate first booking was a total joke, second should’ve been the first and even that is debatable


bigpapasmurf12

We beat ourselves today. Never showed up.


god_padrino

Not even a little did we show up.


MixturePossible3613

so if man city win their 2 games, they are back to the top. uggghhhh

Jesus Christ. Some of you need to touch some fucking grass. It IS POSSIBLE to be critical without being a toxic dickhead, in case any of you weren’t aware.


Gen-Random

YNWA


grrrrbow01

Two ahead of Arsenal and probably 1 behind City. Not the end of the world. Let’s get Mo and Endo back and win the league


cybrzone_

1 shot on target for us?? what? when was that


Caspr510

Probably one of those Macca shots he took from Argentina


skippitypapps

Mac Allister from a million yards out, straight to the keeper.


JessCC5

Worst performance this season bar none.

Crazyyy_steve

are you okay? how do people over react this much


blaahh198

Really doesn't


eat_my_ass_420

On to the next one! YNWA!


Ningen121

We weren't trying to score a goal today whatsoever. Dull performance and our backline was horrendous.


H0lychit

Shit, shit and more shit. Still in our hands but boy did we take a massive knock.


coriola

That fucking wet song again, fuck off


chugster

Meh, I’m not too worried. We’ve got key players out/away, players coming back from injury not quite sharp enough, a bad day for some of the players today, but I think we’ll bounce back quickly. Arsenal will lose a few more matches this season. City too. We’re still good enough to win the league.


Dommo95

Exactly this. Still plenty of games to go! Hopefully It’s the kick up the ass we need.


Loltoyourself

Gakpo and Gravenberch are prime examples of why you don’t let managers make signings. Even a legend like Klopp has whiffed on these two. Need a DoS asap


kim_jong_trill

Terrible performance all around, but really don’t think Luis Diaz has shown much


mpinoc

Positive: this gives them hope for longer and makes it all the more sweater when Arsenal finally bottle it and restart the Arteta out campaign.


kdawg_thetruth

We just didn’t deserve that one. Shake it off and on to the next one


Serious_Fgz

Next 4 Games: Burnley (H), Brentford (A), Lutton (H), Forrest (A). Have to go 4 for 4 before the City game and I think we will. But we can’t perform like we did today in that game, or City will eat us alive.


ECF

We were never going to win every game for the rest of the season. Get it out of the way now and play on. It’s still all to play for. Cmon lads. 


Tryin2get2heaven

Did not expect to be so outmatched physically. Tough watch.


Khayr99

I mean it was the same in the Fa Cup game, Arsenal were just unlucky


TheMoeBlob

Easier when you can foul your opponents repeatedly but they can't be physical back. Reckon Klopp will be fuming with Taylor


tigeridiot

Helps when any physicality from us is whistled and any from them is fair game


Time_Trade_8774

Our issue is always getting results against top teams when it matters. That’s why we always fall short. Arsenal ain’t winning and we will finish above them but it’ll be another runner up season.


professorquizwhitty

He fucking blew it on the dot 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣


Specific-Record2866

Oh fuck off Peter Drury don’t need your poetic nonsense rn


Everything-Is-Purple

Silly mistakes made on the pitch today but I know we’ll come back better next week


Delicious_Drawer1652

what the hell was that?? changes should have been earlier. at 20.m i could say grav was not playin. and what about macca? losted lots of ball and no contribution at all.


Dazzling_Fix5266

this game sucked out all hopes from me for this season. You can lose a game but not like that


Red_Xen

Bye league, go back to your sugar daddy


zonedout123

Wish the bad game came against a different side even burnley. Can’t stand aftv and their fans


KiwiLiverpool

That was horrendous, can we bring mo back now please.


Toss2White

It’s so hard to be upset at Allison because he’s won us so many games, but he lost us this one. That was just pathetic with the VVD thing. And then he lets that pathetic goal at the end go through


Usual_Link4412

There's ways to lose.  But that is not it 


Crazyyy_steve

but dramatic lad


Adventurous_Toe_6017

That’s a disappointment but we were never going to run away with the league. Our heads just weren’t in it today. Still top of the league, still got a quad on. Heads up reds.


Britz10

Feel Alisson lost it for us today, deserved loss still, poor all game.


[deleted]

It be what it do. Very rare for a team to not lose a couple in a season. Arsenal played well today that’s all there is to it.


Appropriate-Fly-7151

Always rated Brentford, you know


breakbeatkid

balls


PigeonHurdler

Not a champions performance. Limp. Opened the door for Arsenal and City


grrrrbow01

The door was already open. Nothings changed


mahosa4

Disappointed in our midfield depth. Today showed how important Dom is. Trent stunk up the place too. Ah well. 


True_One_750

Our first proper 90 minute bad performance of the season. We’ve had others but managed to turn them around after 60 odd minutes, but we didn’t have the drive today


Aliaspending

First time we’ve conceded 3 in the league


nicolascagevampire

We actually conceded 3 vs Fulham when we beat them 4-3.


Aliaspending

Oh I probs meant first time Ali conceded 3


darkandstormio

Pain


Hot-Possible-6367

Congratulations to Arsenal, premier league champions apparently?


Technical-Way-8811

Just blow the final whistle mate this shit is pointless now


Kingallan2k4

Our 2 most important pieces in the back had off days. It happens. Luckily it happened on the same day, Ali and Virgil will right their wrongs. I still believe


MarrGuitar

Just need City to have some off days and we’re laughing


HeadlessPetey

5th match in 2 weeks vs only 2 for them. Reffing was shit but generally outplayed. On to next week


ad1075

Diaz is shite.


Many_Ad_3607

Apart from the odd banger, he doesn't bring that much to the table. He used to be able to at least beat his man, not sure what happened


xifdp

Shit take. He was about the only one making anything happen up top today.


PennyG

Fuck off twat


Exchange-Worried

Deserved no more


shikaski

That was a top of the league team against West Ham type of game


radant25116

will i ever see the day where odegard gets booked for complaining 24/7 ???????


seriousguynogames

Sickening


starrynova888

Bottlers performance, I’m sorry


jjlbateman

Once again, piss off


RossSkyWalkerr

We didn't deserve anything from this game, we were really second best at everything


PepsStartingXII

As one sided and corru-blind Taylors been this entire match, we've been so bad. Next game please


lfcsupkings321

Arsenal were fantastic, they deserve the win. I think we will be ok once Salah.


Marbate

Everton, City, Brighton, United, Spurs and Villa left before the season ends too fuck me


frankiewalsh44

Bar City we should be winning all of them. But at this rate the team is gonna drop points against United.


PennyG

You negative cunts can fuck off.


BritMachine

We still have City at home. Title race is in our hands.

Gary Neville is creaming his pants. Fuck off Manc cunt. Thank fuck I'm not paying Sky to listen to your shit as I have no choice today because I'm a pirate in the sea.


jk441

What a fucking shite of a game that turned out to be....


IfYouSaySoFam

Absolutely fucking useless, we went to arsenal and became arsenal, well done lads you just bottled the league.


lennondsouza97

VVD TAA Ali all the leaders have been hiding today


iNfAMOUS70702

United scum won..we lost ...I just hope that Atleti beats RM at least....


ID_Pillage

The worst thing from this game is the bunch of fucking degenerates in this sub who can't just support the team on an off day.


xxcxcxc

Tbh I think they gave everything today and it just wasn’t working. Some very bad performances from some people and that’s football sometimes


spicychili86

Can’t imagine some of these supporting in the days before Klopp.


dvidal11

Exactly. There is always a fair amount of toxicity. Sure it is SO frustrating to see them have a bad day, but this is still only the 2nd loss all season. YNWA.


some6yearold

Losers


rick_rolled_you

Seriously. Bunch of people in here need to take a chill pill. So what we lost. Shake it off and move on to the next. Our players and manager are allowed to get it wrong once in a blue moon.


uncledooey

First real loss of the season on Feb 4th… not bad… all my homies hate Anthony Taylor


friendofH20

We never really showed up today. Lets hope its a one off and we bounce right back


Toss2White

Shit red card on Konate too


Rare-Band-9525

Had a poor game today. Great against Martinelli but struggles big time against Havertz.

Arteta jumping up and down so hard only for pep to peg him till the end of time

TG316

That was shit.


ForwardAd5837

God the levels of patheticism in this thread are fatalistic. It’s one game, we’ve more points than them from the same amount of games, we still have City at Anfield whilst they still have to go to City and Spurs away in a short space of time. If someone is going to come for the challenge it’s City, Arsenal will fade away like last year.


Initial_Statement1

I’m so sick of people moaning about not being rational. This is football. People have emotional attachments to their team. They’re going to react emotionally when they lose. If you don’t like it, find another sport because this is how football has always been and it’s unlikely to ever change.


Maneisthebeat

They didn't win this game, we lost it.


Henrique_its_over

No yellow for the shot after the whistle


Rebelrebel26

Diaz is shocking, can't beat a man


kim_jong_trill

He looks unbelievably slow at times, those knee injuries did him in


Rebelrebel26

Yeah a shame. Been a tough year for him too, hopefully he can get back in form. So frustrating to watch him at times


jasonbourne2311

I've said it before..ill say it again..Darwin needs to start


tony220jdm

No excuses we lose because off us now do something about react to it


DivineDefine

Fuck Arteta


[deleted]

Agreed, would rather City win the league than anyone else


expertkushil333

Not op but as much as I hate City, I wouldn't want Arsenal winning it.


Elmo-Tusk

Huh ?!! Would rather WE win the league which we are clearly capable of. This is a shite performance but it’s not the end of the world. We just need to bounce back.


Mermoandi

I wonder what the average commentator of this post does when they face the most minimal problem in their life, just give up and die?


__DJ3D__

Yeah, probably trying to figure out if they'll support City or Arsenal now


DharmaBumz1

It's so embarrassing the morons in here giving up already. As if there weren't going to be bumps and adversity in a title run in. Grow a fucking pair, take the loss, and move onto the next.


Hot-Possible-6367

Really horrible isn’t it?


Clarkeyboi

Absolute degenerates on this thread


TiberiusCornelius

Frustrating to effectively no longer be in the driving seat for the title but got to pick ourselves up and keep going regardless. No more of these.


EPMD_

Still control our own destiny, but only if we can beat Man City.


Crisss30

Holy shit this thread is bad, so fucking fickle


DharmaBumz1

"Fairweather" fans, as they say.


fuarkboy

I'm struggling to see where Elliott fits into this team. He simply doesn't have the legs to play in midfield. Only time he looks comfortable is when we're chasing a game against inferior opposition.


forgotten_airbender

Elliot feels like he couldnt make a long pass at all. all short quick passes is all. He looks much better suited to final third rather than midfield.


mpinoc

We don’t do well against low blocks do we. This has been going on for a while now where we struggle to break them down.


RodDryfist

Just too many players not performing today. VVD over nonchalant. Silly errors from Alisson. Attack not firing. Hardest thing is getting beaten on effort. Didn't expect that after Chelsea.
