The mancs must be made up winning their first game at Anfield in just shy of 10 years.

Bless 'em.

They played decently, but seriously, Liverpool with 65% possession, hit the post three times, Salah and Gakpo both missed open goals, and poor marking for the winning goal from mophead.

Liverpool has only themselves to blame.

But, it's a new team, they're trying to gel. They're not as good as the first seven games in a row they won this season, and not as bad as the last four in a row they lost. Slot has the confidence of the players, they will improve.

Advantage Arsenal.

Everton will give you £40m for Isak.

The future is bright at Everton FC  8)

Guys, what’s up with Mo?  Seems invisible.

Is it the absence of Trent that is causing the issue?

Carragher said hey should bench him.

I don't know why, but he's having an off patch. Should have scored from an open goal position yesterday.

The Hammers are another club that thought they were too good for Moyesie.

Arsenal points lost from winning positions:

24/25: 21

And that was very costly for our title hopes.

25/26: 0 (so far)

Various reasons for this: Zubimendi is one. More depth in the back line is another. Raya’s consistency also.

Long way to go but other than the late defeat at Anfield, Arsenal has shown title characteristics, including, as you say, not losing points from a winning position.

Far too much talk about tables and stats etc - it isn't even bommy night.

Here for example is a league table after 8 games of the 1985/6 season - so exactly 40 years ago....



Who won the league that season?....

One game at a time, mate. One game at a time. Get the business done and move on to the next.

But I do like to look back at the previous matchs and maybe find positive trends.
