I this agree with the post above me, I don't think arsenal tried to win that game, I watch the match and first half both teams played very poorly, the chances Arsenal had were never a serious threat to Liverpool defense in any way. I think it was generally a boring match and both teams did not give it their all, Liverpool had some luck to end up winners in the end.

I don't agree that Arsenal didn't try to win that match. Arsenal and Liverpool tried from the start to win with the strategy they played. Both of them played well to score goals but Arsenal failed to take advantage of many opportunities.

The FA Cup round 3 match was very entertaining. For those who bet on this match, it was very exciting with the number of opportunities that both teams had in the first and second half.
I don't know how to evaluate the match so you think the match is boring.

This agree or disagree? Huh

Arsenal must try to win the match, it shouldn't be debated.  Grin
If the players played poorly, it doesn't mean they have no intention to win the game/match. Arsenal players couldn't make a very serious threat, it is probably caused by the strong defense of Liverpool. Liverpool defenders tried to give no chance for Arsenal players to get good opportunities in scoring goals. We must appreciate what have done by Liverpool defenders, they were able to make Arsenal attackers feel frustrated.

The own goal was a lucky goal. But the second goal was a goal made by their efforts. You can't claim Liverpool won the game because of the luck factor.  Wink

This is my take on the EPL at the moment. I think it would be more difficult for Arsenal to battle it out with Manchester City now that City have got all key players back in the team. Arsenal seem to be the ones who have lost their form. Aston Villa are also firing at the moment but I doubt they can maintain the momentum for too long. Liverpool also don’t look like much problem for Manchester City at the moment without Mo Salah. Guardiola obviously have an advantage in the race.
Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp have something to take home this season, both coaches are extremely careful when dealing with their opponents, they wouldn't want a situation where they would worry over something that's just purely key. I'm so glad to watch the performances of these elite clubs becoming competitive and promising, these teams doesn’t. The teams that have risen surprise are Aston Villa and Westham United. They're strong enough to withstand the elite clubs, giving up is not an option. Manchester City and Liverpool are the main clubs that have strong fight for the EPL title this season.
It's one thing to say Liverpool and Man City are title contenders, but Aston Villa demands that their presence in the title race be taken into account. That means we have to add Unai Emery to the list on a par with Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp, but when it comes to maintaining balance and consistency, personally I have more confidence in Man City and Liverpool. The competition in the top four continues with a very small difference in points, a small mistake will have a huge impact on the position in the standings. Arsenal and Tottenham will pressure Man City from below, automatically Pep and his troops must be able to secure full points when they face Newcastle next week.

The teams competing in the top four of the standings temporarily face other challenges, some of their key players are carrying out duties to strengthen their respective national teams, but this will not reduce the tension of the Champions League zone competition itself. Injury factors play a role in other forms, I think De Bruyne return to Pep main squad is a blessing, but it feels less than ideal because Halaand now has to enter the treatment room.

I would say we saw Arsenal's dominance in the first half. Liverpool played a defensive strategy in the first half. They don't try to attack too much. Perhaps Kopp tried to find the weaknesses in Arsenal's defence. Although Arsenal played well in the first half, Arsenal failed to dominate in the second half as Liverpool's players played very attacking. In the second half Liverpool players were able to make several great attacks. Also, the performance of Liverpool's players was very organized throughout the match. Arsenal lost due to their poor match tactics and weakness of attacking players.
Arsenal were not weak in attack, but they were too poor at taking advantage of some of their big chances. Throughout the match, Arsenal recorded 5 chances, 5 of which failed to become goals, Liverpool only recorded 1 big chance. Arsenal also have 5 corners compared to Liverpool's 2, that could be the reason why I say Arsenal are not weak in attack.

On the other hand, Liverpool managed to block 5 Arsenal shots and Alison made 6 saves compared to Arsenal's 2 saves. Liverpool defended well throughout the match, they were also lucky that Arsenal failed to take advantage of their opportunities perfectly.

Mo Salah won't be away forever, he will prolly miss only two EPL games or so, except he picks up an injury during the AFCON. Liverpool are strong contenders, and i think they have a very good chance to be champions this season. Arsenal will get back to form, that's for sure, but they are not going to win the EPL, Arsenal players are yet to get the experience that's needed to become Premier League champions, their time will come, and they are getting closer, but it will not happen this season. If City don't win it (and i think they will), then Liverpool will be champions.

Mohamed Salah will only be away from Liverpool for the AFCON, you are right. But isn't it a big problem for a team as big as Liverpool to be so dependent on one player? Gakpo and Darwin Nunez are good players but not good enough to make Liverpool champions. Mohamed Salah is one of the last of his kind. Liverpool fans should feel lucky to have him. He is top scorer and assists in the Premier League this season. Liverpool will lose a lot if he accepts the offers of Arab teams.

I don't know how you judge the game play of a match, of course because I don't agree with your opinion. Both teams played well throughout the match and Arsenal had better form in the first half than in the second. Arsenal posed a threat to Liverpool's defense with several shots on target, but unfortunately they failed to score. In the second half Arsenal tried something better, but Liverpool were able to match it and lead the match until they finally won the match. Not boring at all, unless you bet on the wrong choice.

I personally watched the game and can say it was a tense one. Arsenal are not good at finishing, that was a problem before an own goal started Arsenal's defeat to Liverpool. So I don't agree with your assumption, because I enjoy their games.
That's very correct mate , it's like they have problem with goal scoring these past games because I reckon that the gunners have made close to 40 shots on trying to score in their last three games but all have resulted to no goal which is poor from their side because considering with their previous performance at the start of the season they ought to have been prepared to tackle such poor decline in goals attempt and finishing.

You don't think Arsenal try to win that match was a sarcastic statement right but put yourself on their shoes, Arsenal aren't in the form like the way Liverpool is currently. They are Shakespeare right now, I once considered them as the best performing team this season but I think the way they are deteriorating across the table, they will end up badly and may even find it hard to get into.the next Champions League season because look at there last 3 matches, all were lost.

Liverpool has improved and I might consider looking at them for options on matches, they are doing well as of recent and can be rely on to get some good ways to gamble. They did exactly the opposite of what Arsenal has done in the last 3 matches, even Manchester City is struggling to meet them at the top of the table.

Let's hope Manchester City are back to their form. They now have a complete squad again. The player who caused the drop in their performance this season is back, which is De Bruyne. Since De Bruyne went on injury this season, Pep Guardiola hasn’t gotten a perfect replacement for him, which is really affecting the team. But he is back, and his performance was nice in their last match, which was in the FA Cup. He was able to make an assist in the match, which shows that he is back, and he is ready to improve Manchester City's performance. With the way Arsenal have begun to play poorly, I don’t think they will be able to face Manchester City.

Arsenal seem to be the ones who have lost their form.

Arsenal's performance has dropped, and they are finding it difficult to score in most matches. Arsenal really depends on Saka, but as we can see, Saka's performance is not really good this season. His performance has dropped, and he is finding it difficult to score in most matches. His performance can’t be compared with last season. I think Saka should be given a rest. Arsenal really needs more experienced strikers.

This match was actually not too boring because both teams played very carefully, in fact I think this match was very interesting for both teams.

In the first half it wasn't that Arsenal didn't try to win the match but they were less effective even though Liverpool didn't perform well in the first half because the CB and fullback communication was not in sync plus the build up continued to fail because Arsenal played high press, luckily Liverpool had goalkeeper Alisson who was on fire.

Entering the second half, coach Klopp saw Arsenal's physical weakness due to playing fast in the first half. He started replacing players with young players, the results were very surprising. Liverpool managed to win with a convincing score. In my opinion, Klopp's strategy in this match was brilliant.

I do not think Arsenal didn't want to win this match. I think Arsenal was just caught lacking by the coach of Liverpool as you said. And that also compared with Arsenal not performing very well right now, it has made Arsenal perform worse in my opinion. When young players are coming on for the other team, and you do not have gas left in the tank, it is going to be a problem to both attack and defend at the same time. That is the thing the Liverpool quotes exploited perfectly. Arsenal did try to win this match in my opinion. They were just unable to. I believe Arsenal is capable of performing better. They are just not in the best of form right now.

Liverpool also don’t look like much problem for Manchester City at the moment without Mo Salah. Guardiola obviously have an advantage in the race.

If De Bruyne and Haaland perform well, Manchester City will become even stronger. Despite poor performances in a few matches and dropping points, City's performance is quite stable at the moment. However, the performance of Arsenal's players is now very erratic. The Arsenal team is now far behind in the points table after losing in the last 5 matches. If the players can't return to form yet and Arsenal drop points in a few more games then they will have to give up hope of winning the syrup. I think the two most worthy rivals for the Premier League title are Liverpool and Manchester City. Both these teams will likely continue to fight for the title till the end of the season.

Now the first half has started and looking at the line-up that occurred in this match, I was actually quite surprised with what they played in this match because they almost lowered most of their core players for the match that occurred in round 3 today.
Even though the match in this competition is not too important but it seems like they are aware that this is not just about competition but there is a prestige that must be maintained considering this is a big match.

20 minutes of running time is now Arsenal who are more in control even though some of the kicks they try to do still miss the on Target but overall in these 20 minutes of possession and opportunities Arsenal dominate.


Arsenal was dominating the match against liverpool and it was creating two goal attempts. The performance of liverpool was very different without salah. Gakpo was filling salah's position but he can do nothing in this match. Liverpool has not yet made even a single goal attempt which is bad for the club.
Liverpool can lose against arsenal if the club keep try to play passively. Arsenal was always dominating the ball and attack compared to the liverpool. Counter attack could be the main solution for this but there was no salah who can do that as fast as possible.
Gakpo contributed nothing in this game and it proves that liverpool needs to buy a new right winger as a back up for salah. It was not as deadly as when salah was there. I must say liverpool's gameplay is so bad in this game.
Arsenal was leading the stat compared to the liverpool. It's very disappointed to see that klopp was always relied upon salah. Liverpool can still have a chance through diaz and nunez.
Let's see what will be going on soon. I expect a tough game till the last minute even for arsenal which is dominating the match.
Salah was not included in the line-up and was on the bench because he was preparing to defend his country in the African cup of Nations so he will definitely not be at Liverpool for some time and something like this also happened to several other clubs.

In the match between Arsenal and Liverpool in the second half I think everything was the same as in the first half because Arsenal were better in terms of performance it's just that at crucial moments Arsenal could not keep their concentration and it was immediately punished by Liverpool with 2 goals that were created even though 1 goal came from an own goal.
It's quite unfortunate for Arsenal because actually if the comparison for their performance is better than Liverpool in this match but of course when talking about the match then the victory must be scored through goals and Arsenal could not do that which made them have to be eliminated in the FA Cup this time.

Of course, Liverpool is not the only one affected by this. Still, leaving the team at a time like this would be damaging for Liverpool, which is competing for the title. They need Salah to become champions. He's a fantastic striker. He also plays great on the wing. Frankly, it is a privilege to have it. I hope he returns soon.

Mo Salah will prefer to win the AFCON with Egypt than the premier League with Liverpool. Mo Salah has been unlucky at AFCON, he hasn't won it despite been the best player in Africa and having a good teammate. They have reach some finals but always unlucky and Mo Salah wouldn't want to return soon

Liverpool can play well and win without Mo Salah. He's their best goal scorer but he's not a striker. Mo Salah is a winger and there are other good players that can play his position, Liverpool proved it against Arsenal in the FA cup by winning and knocking them out of the tournament.

J.Klopp is an experienced coach and he also has alot of players that he can rotate to bring victory to his team. Other premier league clubs are losing players for AFCON therefore other teams won't be playing at their peak and this give chance for any team to win.

The players going to play AFCON aren't going away for a long time so they won't be missing alot if their teams can hold on until they're back to continue from where they stopped to keep carrying their teams and winning games for them.

I mean I wouldn't be too mad at them for losing to Liverpool. People are overreacting a bit, sure they have lost a few games in a row now and that is why people are reacting so badly, but THIS one is not really a shock, they played against Liverpool and Liverpool is by far one of the best teams of entire premier league in the last 10 years, only beaten by City, when you lost to second best team of the last 10 years in a nation, that shouldn't really be a big deal at all, I think that's normal.

Arsenal is getting better, they are a respectable team, and they are going to probably be better and better with team, they just hit a rock now and having trouble but with time I am sure that they are going to get better.
Experiencing defeat by Liverpool in the FA Cup is quite normal. And we shouldn't be surprised by these results. In fact, Arsenal actually dominated the game quite well in this match from the start. But I also understand the disappointment that many people complained about Arsenal in that match. Because Arsenal actually almost scored a goal in the early minutes of the match. But they wasted it. And it happened not once but several times. It was as if the Arsenal players were very nervous in the match and were not confident in executing a shot or finishing. Maybe the disappointment is more this way from my point of view. Since the start, Liverpool have actually been under quite a lot of pressure from the Arsenal players, but yeah, it's a little annoying to see opportunities wasted. Their Arsenal squad is nervous because the opponent they face is one of the best EPL teams, namely Liverpool. So I also feel this is normal. I hope that in the next match Arsenal can do better. Because currently Arsenal is also almost eliminated from the top 4 rankings. If they continue to get bad results then the top 4 ranking will belong to another team.

I was not expecting at all to see Arsenal losing this game even against a team like Liverpool because for a coach like Arteta with the money they spent it was very important to win the match and try his luck to win the FA Cup in this season.
But the perfect performance of Klopp was the reason for Liverpool to win this game and now they are in the top side of the Premier League while at the same time, they can have a chance for the FA Cup.

Ok that is quite optimistic because I think that no team so far has ever won the treble twice in a row. Solely based on statistics I think that this statement is doomed to turn out to be wrong, but for as long as Manchester City is around and in the position to win all of the titles, there is nothing that speaks against them doing it. Whether they will, I don't know. But we can see that the competition in the Premier League has become incredibly tough and in the Champions League, there are a couple of clubs that I think are on the same level as Manchester City. Definitely Real Madrid I think.
Yeah mate my statement is just based on speculations and assumptions and nothing more than that,  because we have already multiple factors that may prevent that occurrence from happening and as the season goes going more or more limits may be placed on Manchester City that will prevent them from achieving that records of maintaining that position for multiple of time.

But also we can't outrightly write them off either since at the moment,  Manchester City is the defending champion and is more likely perceived as the closest club to the title since they hold the title currently.

I think Manchester City's situation looks kind of relaxing right now because Arsenal messed up a few games. They dropped points in the last 3 matches.  Drew against Liverpool which I think was an alright result but they lost the next 2 games against Fulham and West Ham which is unacceptable. But that has done good things for Manchester City because they are already ahead of them without even having to put in an effort. Salah of Liverpool is also leaving for AFCON for the upcoming few matches and they have a good chance of dropping the points. So, Manchester can be sitting relaxed right now. Aston Villa won’t be much of a problem I believe.

Manchester City's key players are also back. KDB made his comeback 2 matches ago, Haaland is looking to start the next match and Rodri also made a comeback from the injury a few games ago. So I think they are clear right now from the injuries of their major key players. All they have to do right now and go and win the games which will be easy if they don't face any more injuries.

I think the competition between these players to get the EPL golden boot is still very wide open and they still have the opportunity to increase the number of goals they will score in the remainder of this season. But what is clear is that the competition for top scorers will still be dominated by Erling Haaland and Mohamed Salah until the end of this season. Quite curious who will set another record this season.
With the way the league is going and the competition for first place, Erling Haaland and Mohammed Salah will undoubtedly be the favourites to win the golden boot this season. They are both doing well for their respective teams and are eager to score more goals to give their teams an advantage in the race for the Premier League title. The other players who made the top scorers list are doing great as well, but there is no guarantee that they will remain there until the end of the season. Liverpool currently leads the table, with Manchester City trailing in points. However, due to Haaland's spectacular nature, he is likely to win the golden boot this season.
In this season, we have few entertaining competitions like at the top we have 3 teams which are fighting hard for the title and for the goalscorer competition we also have few players even Haaland is still hot favourite but as we have Mohammad Salah things can go interesting currently both are having 14 goals each and Son is also doing good which is creating good fight for the golden boat in this season after half of this season.

Now few things giving good advantage to Haaland and Son as they both will be stayed in Premier League and Mohammad Salah is going back to home for the national duty and any injury or problem can give him setback for his chance to win golden boat even currently he is at his best and can do good for the Liverpool.
