Matchday 3: Liverpool vs Arsenal - Sunday Aug 31, 16:30 GMT

Slot is much more preferable than Klopp who was arrogant and constantly gave snide remarks to interviewers. Slot goes about his business but I get the more successful he becomes the more he will be hated.

Artera is prob the most hated manager outside Arsenal fans btw.

Mirth

Sicario2 he goes about his business cause it was plain sailing for him last season under low expectations. Klopp was the cool uncle everyone liked early on as well. Watch the wheels go off this season.

Bernard Woolley

I hate most folks associated with Yanited, Liverpool, Chelsea and City in that order. Can't remember anyone affiliated with any of these clubs for the last decade that I could remotely tolerate - maybe Amad Diallo at Yanited.

Qwiss

Mirth yep. This week you could see the real Slot. Liverpool were utter shit, didn't manage a shot for almost an hour vs 10 men, spent long stints trapped in their own half, had a couple of good pen calls against them dismissed and then after the game he acted like Newcastle sat in and accused them of not playing football when they were easily the better team before and after the red card. The snide little snickering from him saying "Oh was that football" too, truly detestable.

Gurgen

Guess who has been appointed to referee this game

Sicario2

Gurgen getting the excuses in? We will never be champions with this mentality.

Gw3 and you still have scars of last season and feeling sorry for yourself.

Get a grip ffs

Referee: Chris Kavanagh (pictured). Assistants: Dan Cook, Wade Smith. Fourth official: Sam Barrott. VAR: Michael Salisbury. Assistant VAR: Sian Massey-Ellis.

For fucks sake. What's that new rule they introduced this season? How can I bet he'll adopt it anally again us -literally and figuratively - then we'll never hear about it again? We'll get called for every corner too

Its the grappling in the box rule, the one that seemed to be completely ignored when Liverpool were hanging out of Newcastle players on Monday.

QuincyAbeyie maybe if he changed his mentality Arteta would call him up?

awooga83 We've always had to beat the opposition and the refs. The teams of the late 00's up until the Invincibles all had loads of shit decisions against them. United were as protected by the refs as any team I've ever seen. This is being Arsenal, you always need to do more.

tazmania I'm saying the odds are against us with these scumbags.

tazmania

Odds are we will tie this game or lose because of some stupid call or mistake.

I want to win but the odds will be against us

Sicario2

tazmania again loser mentality

I want the word referee banned from this forum.

If we are good enough we will win the title, simple as. Everything else is BS.

QuincyAbeyie

Sicario2 you do realize Gurgen isn't playing this weekend?

Coombs

Sicario2 Everything else is BS.

Sicario2 not loser mentality.

I'm very confident we'll win anyway

Gurgen

I will never be a premier league champion, that much is true

RocktheCasbah

Gurgen haaa ha-ha haaaaaah ha...

I don't believe in pre determined refereeing outcome with these fixture. What we need to be able to do is make games less marginal because if they are then small outcomes like a refs decision will have a disproportionate impact. Try to take it out of the equation by scoring more etc.

That's hard at Anfield though as just not dropping points directly to them has to be the main goal. The head to heads aren't often the decisive factor so not getting beat away is the first priority.

lorddulaarsenal

I think we’re going to beat ‘em.

Won’t be easy but just have a feeling that Gyokeres has a statement match. Think he’ll be that much fitter after another week of training.

They are also suspect on set pieces

flobaba

We are going to start Merino at Anfield if Odegaard can't make it. His autistic ass will lead the press. Madueke on the right, Martinelli on the left. Will be full Arteta Haramball. Solid, soulless. Set pieces bombing in. Snatch a goal that way and retreat into a contain and counter structure. We should be able to handle anything they throw at us for the most part. If they happen to score, we will wait till the second half, when Eze will come in for Martinelli to inject some extra creativity and ball retention. Not sure what to expect from Gyokeres vs Konate / VVD. I suspect he'll have a frustrating day at the office. All the same, a draw seems feasible to me at the moment.

Nope.

Every team thinks that though, bad refereeing decisions occur but they aren't some organised anti Arsenal thing they are just bad decisions which inevitably occur where humans are making decisions. Whenever any fan group recalls this stuff they remember the bad and never the ones that go their own way which is also human nature.

Like I've said when a game is marginal small moments like a refs decision or a mistake can decide it. You try to mitigate for those variables by not leaving matches that marginal.

Strongly disagree. There is definitely more preferential treatment given to clubs like Liverpool now and United when they were good.
