All the articles on here seem to be attacking our performance and team. As bad as we were, Arsenal definitely deserve credit firstly for the way they played but secondly how they also stopped us playing.
It's no secret Arsenal keep the ball excellently and they did exactly that especially after going 2-0 up: we hardly got a sniff apart from Suarez's chance. I thought Koscielny was the best player on the pitch because he was so tight on Suarez. Everytime he got the ball Koscielny was onto him like a rash.
Anyway, we need to move on now. We're doing the right thing by winning as many games as we can against lower opposition. But I do worry about one thing: BR seems very naïve against the big teams. For me he should have waited before bringing Coutinho on. As bad as Cissokho was we lost a player on the left defensively and when Ozil picked up the ball to pass to Ramsey it was where Cissokho would have been. We struggled against top 6 opposition last season and I hope that this doesn't continue this year.
Anyway rant over and again well played gooners
Give Arsenal some credit

The "disallowed" goal was a nothing moment, defenders and sczez had all stopped moving as the whistle had gone, the ball would have been cleared otherwise

Yes and no. The arsenal players certainly weren't in 'game mode' so I wouldn't say it was a disallowed goal, however Liverpool should have been given the opportunity to make something of the quick free kick.
I'm sure if it had been the other way around you'd have been disappointed the ref didn't allow the fouled against team the chance to attack rather than halting the game for a booking that could have been made at any time.

it wasn't to do with the early goal, more Rodgers useless tactics which just let us play at our own speed and a lot of the pools players lack of understanding the offside rule

Hardly had a sniff op. Sorry did t hendo hsve two decent site at goal? The dissallowed goal was annoying but suarez misses where equally annoying. I dont think kos had such a great game when you think sturridge had him once on his seat of his pants and suarez had two very good sight on goal.

Maybe if you read the article it says hardly had a sniff after they went 2-0 up . As for the Henderson chance it was wasted mainly due to him being so surprised at just being almost 1 on 1 vs Chezny.
They effectively killed the game off very well and got the first goal at the worst time for us.

Heard so many people call that a disallowed goal and that's just ridiculous. At best, it was a disallowed advantage or disallowed quick free kick. That's a million miles from a "disallowed goal".

True, wasn't a disallowed goal but you'd have to surely admit that at the very least it was a promising situation? A situation Liverpool should have had the opportunity to exploit. Not saying they would have scored however.

Second this comment. The main difference was the midfield. All our midfielders were above your's. Rosicky, Arteta, Cazorla were immense and both of our CB's were solid. Sagna had a very good game as well.
Still the PL League this year is very tight at the top. I hope that Liverpool will be there for the top four. Big clubs belong there.
