Compare that to us who can rotate 7 and still easily win, that will tell in a season like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Armour 4,759 Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 Tim Howard is calling Arsenal the most well rounded team after City. Disagree that they're well rounded. They still seem to have that soft underbelly that can be exploited. But yes, they are the best team after City in the league at the moment. They just seem relentless in attack, constantly swarming the opposition box. And Liverpools defense which is already short in confidence and form was there to be exploited. And their old ass midfield can't press like they used to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vesper 31,181 Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 go back and look at dozens of posts of mine, starting well over a year ago, maybe even 2 years ago, about Pool setting themselves up for a decline with an ageing team Salah has been shit since he turned 30 Mane was showing signs of age Firmino has surprisingly had a wee bit of a comeback, but the fact he and not Darwin is their best CF atm speaks volumes but that central MF is meh, some old, tired, and so limited, especially when Thiago is not playing well Naby Keïta Curtis Jones Thiago Arthur Melo Jordan Henderson Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain James Milner Jota has not kicked on, and even Diaz has cooled off VVD is deffo in decline (he has never been the same since that bad injury), as is Matip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel we have finally started picking up steam. Hopefully we can keep most of our key players fit. Tomo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do highly rate the former though, if Liverpool are going back to Rodgers/Kenny/early Klopp days hopefully he doesn't waste his prime years there.

Arsenal have no experience of it and Conte collapses when faced with a packed schedule. Dare I say in a crazy season like this we may be able to sneak into (outside) title contention if Potter masters rotation going forward aswell as he did yesterday.

Vesper 31,181 Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 FSG (Pool owners) is panicking over their main team, the Boston Red Sox, who had a horrid year (for them) and they will dump in hundreds of millions to sort them Boehly doesn't have that issue at all with the Dodgers as he has other owners and investors who have well over 100 billion combined (plus the Dodgers have INSANE revenue each year and they just won the most games ever (111) for a National League club in the 150 year history of the league, other than that deadball era 1906 Cubs team, who played in a terrible league that year, a small small number of teams who they just beat the shit out of over and over), plus he has Clearlake's 50 billion backing Chels (and buying up sister clubs soon) plus the other Chels billionaires involved Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way considering where they were last season and way they started this one isn't bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoroccanBlue 5,408 Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 Yeah I remember @Vesper and I a couple years back that predicted this. So far its come to fruition. The main point was that the basis of Liverpool's success under Klopp was the sale of Coutinho, which funded them VVD, Salah, Fabinho, Allison, etc. It was evident they would need this kind of funding to replace them and FSG are too skint with the Red Sox to care.

Pizy 19,379 Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 The depth issue is what I’m hanging my hopes on with Arse. An extended injury to Jesus or Odegaard or Saliba and they’re in real trouble. Unlike City who have the insane squad depth to sustain their top level through an entire grueling season, Arse won’t be able to maintain this super high energy style the whole way. We just have to keep winning and reel them in. One or two poor results and they’ll start to crumble hopefully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arsenal will crumble when the going gets tough and they are missing key players. But still they have improved mentally. Just last season they would have easily crumbled today and on various other occasions after being pegged back but they kept their composure and scored again. They will never win the title vs this city side but they look better than liverpool, ManUre and tbh us for most of the season so far. Can definitely see them make top 4.
