    How did Bellerin not give up a penalty there?

    We really have been very good so far. A bit of guile from Nketiah and AMN and we would be 3 up.

    Really have to nitpick to find complaints in 1T. Bellerin has been really solid, too. I'm having second thoughts whether we should sell him

    Liverpool aren't the same without TAA.

    Expect to see a lot of teams setup defensive wingers this season to mark him out of the game.

    Shouldn't sell either him or AMN.

    Missed some play while helping daughter filming assignment for Spanish class. Glad the Gunners are holding their own.

    Agreed. And if Elneny keeps playing like this, I'd like him to stay in the squad, too.

    First half thoughts:

    Elneny and Xhaka look neat and tidy.

    Tierney has exceptional vision for a defender, but he's no average defender.

    Saka looks capable of so much. He needs to mark Robertson tighter out wide cause that guy will connect eventually.

    Aubameyang. PAY THAT MAN.

    Thank you.

    No mask, but the replay at halftime showed he did cross his arms across his chest and put his head down.

    If we can’t sell el elneny, I don’t mind having him as a squad player

    Whenever we play out from the back, we seem to be playing on the right. It's like we can't build from the left at all. Teams are going to shift their press based on this.

    You'd think it would be the opposite given Tierney and Auba's good link up play

    56' and Martinez makes a timely interception as Mane gets behind Luiz into the box.

    58' sees Cedric come on. Missed who for.

    And Gomez goes down.

    Looks like Pool spent their time off with Greg Louganis.

    Soares is not good enough to be on the pitch. I am actually confused as to why we signed him...

    Notable drop-off in contribution from Bellerin to Cedric.

    1-1

    Arsenal pays for their inability to sustain possession. Liverpool with numbers in the box and the ball falls nicely for Minaimino who knocks it home.

    Been about 20 minutes since Arsenal strung 3 passes together, and the first touch from the forward players has been abysmal.

    Well the goal was coming.

    Midfield looks awful

    Need some subs, and need to hope Bellerin doesn't get injured because Soares is awful.
