Just looked at next week's fixtures, after Hull held Utd at OT and then beat L'pool today, is it truly a home banker for Arsenal at home?

Just as things aren't quite going right for you, you might think home advantage holds the key, but will it be enough for Liverpool to stop Spurs pressing.

Utd should put Watford to the sword and dependent on tomorrow, things may be a change-in.

City away to Bournemouth who let in 6 goals today, with City's firepower, if it turns up, it could be another grubbing.

Never a good trip away to Burnley, tough place to play but I think results elsewhere will support us if we only draw, I can't see us losing and obviously a win would be very nice, a very early goal could be key to this game.

That pack could be well shuffled again next, especially if the Manchester twins both win tomorrow.

He had only been in the league for just over a year for goodness sake. Going backwards ? Yes Sean that's exactly what has happened since he arrived.

What do bookie odds have to do with anything ?

Rodgers wasn't good enough and his results showed that even though he did have a better season than Wenger has in the last decade :rofl:

How's your maths going to see if you can still win the league - or will it be next year

I'm happy to admit we have issues and areas need sorting - you haven't got the bottle to admit the failings in your own club

Rodgers record not good enough? yeah like 4 losses in 5 games is more like it I suppose? :rofl:

Umm why are you comparing someone over 5 games as opposed to 3 seasons ?

Yes Rodgers record wasn't good enough after 3 and half years and he left - it wasn't working so the board made the choice to look to try and make a change.

Maybe the Arsenal board could look to make a change to stop it being the same season every single season.
 
Well Tottenham got 3 points against stoic defending by Boro, particularly in first half. It's always worrying when only one goal separates things and the oppo always get a chance in games like this. Boro certainly had a chance very late with 2 mins to go.

In all honesty at times when teams sit deep and defend, Spurs seem at times to struggle to open them up. For me the 2 players in this position that can open things up are Dembele and Erikson. Erikson with his guile, but Dembele when he comits a man goes past him and opens things up.
Dembele is a great player, strong as an ox, can use both feet and shields the defence well. However I would like to see him push forward a bit more on the front foot, commit those players go past them and open up space behind. Often when he drives forward like this it usually results in goals. I just wonder why the manager doesn't tell him to do this.

Didn't Rogers finish second? Exactly the same as Wenger did with Arsenal last season? So how is that any better?

Yes LP how is that better?

It's like a chess computer, you know if it's taking a long time to get a reply you've really given it something to think about.

I posted the question but I know he won't answer.

Hounds people with questions himself but does the best Houdini act when someone poses one to him.

Oops :rofl:

There are two different types of second places

The one were you challenge all the way up to end of the season and actually have a chance at winning the title - that's a title challenge

Or the one where you are never in the title chance and sneak 2nd place on the last day - that's not a title challenge

So for me the first one is a better season than the other.
Well as Arsenal haven't had a serious title challenge for over a decade now we can guess which one Wenger had last year :thup:

Apologies for the delay in answering - was busy making dinner

So about these failings within Arsenal that is appears other Arsenal fans can see - do you have the bottle to see them yet or still blinded by Wenger glasses ?

:rofl: Phil you really are forum gold.
I'm guessing you can take lots of positives from this season under Flopp regardless of where you finish in the league & the future is looking bright :clap:

The first one is a better season which, in this instance, ended with a far more embarrassing collapse. Liverpool lost the title that year.
 
Is Klopp the right man for Liverpool? Yes.
Is Wenger the right man for Arsenal? No, and hasn't been for years.

Good but tricky three points today. Closer than it should have been. Burnley made us sweat in the second 45 as we didn't know whether to stick or twist and lost concentration.
 
Klopp has achieved nothing in England, full of promise and optimism but the sad truth is that he has won zero and you might even be going backwards with him.

Brendan Rodgers came 2nd and the fans forced him out. Klopp finished 8th last year. Frankly I don't think he has a clue once his high press doesn't work.

3/1 to win the league in November. :rofl:
As a Liverpool fan it pains me to say that this at the moment is true.
but on the day any team can play poorly but the Reds don't seem to have a plan B.
Think it's because in other Leagues you don't need plan B.
