@EBL2017 Perhaps Arsenal’s pragmatic style might just be what’s needed to win the UCL this season. Who knows? 🤷‍♂️

Thomas Frank and Spurs played PSG with a back 5. Man-to-man from the goal kick, low block in open play. Direct but prepared and balanced in possession. Big emphasis on using set-pieces and long throws to exploit PSG. Slot tried similar but lacked open play defensive clarity. That’s unacceptable. Why? He went against his own principles and Liverpool’s DNA. But, you know what, that type of game-plan is smart if you are Thomas Frank and Spurs. A team with a massive qualitative disadvantage at the beginning of the project. No problem. But Liverpool won the league last season, spent €450m, and their only starter injured is their goalkeeper. Beyond unacceptable, that. Worst day for Arne Slot at Liverpool yet. The second sign of him crumbling under pressure, right after him being much more agitated on the sideline lately. Losing his calm demeanour in the process. With Xabi Alonso available, the pressure only increases. People may say Xabi also plays a back 5. But only sparingly at Madrid. And that was because Mbappé and Vinicius don’t defend. He won’t use that at Liverpool. 0% chance. I’ll stake my entire reputation on it. Not more than 2 or 3 times max, anyway. An awful night, this.

@CJMurray1987 @WelBeast New generation of fans that defected to Man City after not seeing their team win for a few years while City were winning? 😂 do your research in case you’re not familiar with those regions mentioned. ✌️

@Dave_Tula @WelBeast Only arsenal have real fans in Africa or south America? Stop using research from 2015 theres a whole new generationthat have never heard of arsenal. 2nd why would other teams fans from these country be fake but not yours?To gain fans usually its good football or lots of trophies?

Hearing Real Madrid vs Bayern Munich was an end to end entertaining game but the timeline is full of Arsenal tweets. When you’re big, you’re big.

@WelBeast Something became clear tonight, and hopefully all the hypocrites who have become blind to objectivity in the media would have seen it very clearly too, every team tries scoring goals from set pieces and Arsenal are just better at scoring from them than most teams atm. Objectivity

Congratulations on your well deserved win Atletico Madrid.

@Lea_EFC Hypocrites!! Arsenal aren’t even good at long throws and I think they’ve realised that recently and hardly do it. We’ve only scored more goals from corners than most other teams because we became good at it not because the other teams aren’t trying to score from them too. Simple!

Liverpool fans 🗣️”Arsenal’s dark arts have ruined football” 😭😭😭

@AnfieIdFix @Ayo_k__ Were you actually taking any of them serious? They were only looking for excuses and a way to discredit what Arsenal are trying to achieve this season after being a laughing stock for so long while playing beautiful football with nothing to show for it. 😂

For the past year Slot has moaned about how PL teams don't want to play football and always references PSG as an example of a team which plays football "the right way". Now he has the chance to play PSG again and he comes out with a back 5, parks the bus and plays like Tony Pulis

@WelBeast The best thing to do with these people who want to talk down on our team is to ignore them. They’re all speaking from a place of hurt, seeing our team in a great position while theirs struggle especially when you consider that we used to be the laughing stock. Just laugh at them

You club is having mid season friendlies on Champions League nights but you think you can chat sh*t about Chàmpions league games. Go chat to Grimsby bozo.

@xEllie24_ Injuries and lack of match rhythm

Seriously, what has happened to Ben White

@WelBeast No point dwelling now. Let’s hope the boys face what’s in front of them. The next game is the most important, Bournemouth at home. Let’s win that and see what Chelsea comes up with against Man City. You never know 🤷‍♂️

Would Arsenal still be in the hunt for a quadruple if David Raya had started the last two games ? Yes, No, Maybe.

@WelBeast @Arsenal Martinelli in the UCL is a different player, just play him from the start next week and put Eze in midfield, with Timber and Saka hopefully fit enough to return on the right side too because we still have to win the second leg. Bournemouth for now though. Full focus. COYG!!!

Thank you for not letting my enemies laugh at me @Arsenal. I knew you wouldn’t let them

@EduardoHagn And so it proves 😂

Please, Martinelli. UCL is your bread and butter.

@WelBeast Just take Trossard off for Martinelli, can’t be as bad as Trossard in the first half, we have to make do with what we have at this moment until EZE gets back at least. Ben white needs to get back to his sharp levels too. Hopefully we get a goal or two to take back with us to home

Last two games. All the Shit happened in the second half.

@WelBeast We’ve actually worked hard for each other, otherwise we’d be one or two goals down already, but we can be better in the attacking areas & on days like this I wish we had Eze fit and available to play on the left side of the attack with Odegaard central. Zubi and White though? Hmm

Thoughts on the first half ?

@Afcpmg Turns out those players were really injured after all

@WelBeast Our manager needed to make changes at half time to try and chase the game. Leaving Jesus and Harvertz on at half time given how they played was a mistake in my opinion

Gabriel Jesus earns £250K per week to fxck my life over.

@SirLeoBDasilva Good creator? Because he got an assist? 😂

Havertz is a good creator, Gabriel Jesus is just not a striker to be created for. He’s never where he can score.

@WelBeast It’s bcos we knew such performances were coming. I’ve always said whoever thought it was a good idea to sign players like Maduekwe, Harvertz, & Merino to improve our team is not to be trusted with recruitment. Nothing against those players but the recruitment is not good enough

Why does this hurt so much?

@WelBeast Now the media will feast on us. They love talking negatively about Arsenal even when we were doing well. Now imagine what they’ll have to say after that performance 😂 just wait for all the so called expert arm chair coaches tommorow. They’re writing their scripts already 😂

Just leave me alone.

@WelBeast Only positive is Dowman, he’s going to be a star player

There’s no single positive thing I can say about tonight. I’m speechless.

@WelBeast Looking like another season, same old story. Doesn’t look good at all. Can’t afford to play this way in Lisbon in midfield. It’ll be an embarrassment if we don’t win at least one trophy this season

Where do we go from here ?
