Match Reaction vs Liverpool (home, FA Cup).

Pathetic dive for the 1st pen.

Was great to see that second goal. Pace

Suarez's ridiculous dive probably cost him the second pen.

Suarez's ridiculous dive probably cost him the second pen.

It's funny because he's going down before Ox even gets there.

I hope we can all unite in saying '...that 5-1 was a fluke, we are still a point off top and higher than Liverpool, who we just beat, we are still in the PL race, the FA cup and CL, and life is worth living".

Yeah!

[Ollie the Optimist]

so depsite all of us having a meltdown (me included) over that line up, perhaps actually Arsene does know what he is doing. that team was superb today. we have quality in all positions. defence was brilliant, the Ox outstanding, Mesut Ozil was just sublime and Sanogo looked very good. moves ahead of Bendtner. Fabianski though was my MOTM, we wouldn't have won the game without him IMO. some great saves, the best being that one of sturridge.


webb was shit for both teams, yes suarez should have had a second pen, but gerrard should have been sent off and santi should have had a pen.

[Master Splinter]

Good response to a week of disappointment. Whole team worked hard and earned an important result.

Liverpool and the media who are devastated that they can't capitalise on the seventieth Arsenal crisis in a week will cry about Webb not awarding Suarez the pelanty, but Webb was equally bad for both sides and Gerrard and Sterling shouldn't have even been on the pitch at that point.

Oxlade, Ozil, BFG, Koscielny and Fabianski were excellent. Podolski and Sanogo put in a good shift too and gave Liverpool's defence something to think about all game. Podolski will be benched for a month for scoring again. Sanogo (in the little we've seen of him) always makes good runs and gets into promising positions. He's extremely raw, but clearly has something about him.

We need the same kind of energy against Bayern, so I hope Rosicky and Gibbs are recalled and perhaps Wilshere and Cazorla benched. They have been far too slack recently and against Bayern, we will be constantly punished. The shirkers or those who are not performing to their best should not be rewarded.

Arsenal .

And if Liverpool can manage to keep their key players, and add some quality depth, they are going to be even more scary. When they attack, they look good.

Yep, if they keep Suarez & add quality in Midfield & Central Defence then they are going to be strong contenders next season, I still think they are strong contenders this season. Offensively they run City very close IMHO.

It's funny because he's going down before Ox even gets there.

Fucking horrible player despite all his legitimate talents.

[Niall_Quinn]

What the fuck did we ever do to BT? Can you believe this post match shit?

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Mate you must be so proud of your team. Your front three is absolutely devastating. Well played and did everything right. Just our day today.

If you sort out your defence and manage to replace Gerrard, you've got one hell of a team.

Well played.

We've got a fantastic first XI, when everyone is fit. Unfortunately our defence has been destroyed through injury... hence Kolo. Our squad is still wafer thin though. I'll be over the moon with 4th, really didn't see it coming this season. Moyes

It makes a nice change from being flat-out shit though.
