my own comment on our is that they should keep up their gud work (up gnners 4 life)asene is a gud manager but one i think the manager should do is take every serios and avoid benching key players which could be dangerous, on like satdays gaame against chelsea which he sidelined key players like ashavin,samir nasri and alex song.and we hav to work veryhard on our defence and take everty game as it comes as for ashavin thumbs up and keep it up.

After watching a replay I think Fabianski deserves some special credit for the first half he had. We could have been down 3 or 4 – nil. And yes, it was that bad for us. Of the 4 he let in, I will only fault him on one. He shouldn’t be hanging his head after this match at all.

But…

We have this guy named Arshavin, you see. And he has this ability to be exactly where he’s supposed to be to create and realize opportunities. And he throws everything he has into the match.

Case in point was his thunderous run on the left side when Theo had broken free centrally. Watch the video…for half of Theo’s run, which was great in itself, Shava’s not even in the picture. Then, all of a sudden there’s some crazy streak of yellow and blue out of nowhere and Theo plays perfectly to Arshavin. And for the FOURTH time in the match, Shava made Pepe Reina cry like a little school girl.

With the side we fielded, 6 regular starters missing, I’ll gladly take the point at Anfield. I know the defense are trying, but we’re just not up to it with the guys out. And I know some feel perhaps a bit cheated that we let in the late goal to tie, and that’s not at all off the mark. But think how you’d feel if Shava’s 4th goal had been the game tier instead and we “stole” the point from Liverpool. You’d be really pumped to have taken the tie from ‘Pool. So, lets try not to be TOO hard on the lads. I don’t think any of them left anything on the pitch by the end.

I think we can still take some positives from the match, and the tie continues our unbeaten streak in the League to 19 matches. Now on to ‘Boro on Sunday and then United in the CL. Still more work to do and more to play for!

what can I say.. an incredible match. nv doubted arshavin’s quality once. it felt more like 2 points lost rather than a 1 point gain though. could see the same feeling fabregas had after the reaction from his face when he was walking off the pitch with nasri when the final whistle was blown. we certainly missed gallas and clichy a great deal. could have won the match if we had a full strength defence.

By the way playing with Bendtner as the only striker is playing WITHOUT strikers.

Glad to see that Fabianski revinidicate himself after his last disastrous game.

Song is screaming so loud at Arsene´s face to dont buy a DM in the summer.

What a shame that we could have AR-SH-AV-IN in the Champions.

And Im the only one who thinks that Nasri was AMAZING today??

what a game..i was cheering arsenal to no end lol.

Arshavin is pure quality but you will miss him in the CL. You need Ade to really step up.

Defence from both teams was of extreme poor quality.

Feel sorry abt ur dad SF,all my respect to him, may he rest in peace with Jesus.
One of the best game ive ever seen so far this year tonite,and also @ Anfield, what a game!!! Arsha is really getting on the PL game from now, He was just fantastic.A draw is really a fair result for us and Liv.From now on we will start to see the real Arshavin, and all of his 4 goals were all a wonderfull ones.I didnt expect that game to end up like that, really.Song and Arshavin was Aw’s biggest mistake last saturday agst Chelsea,Song now has become one of my best player at Arsenal.The chelsea game wud have never been the same if Song and Arhavin has been played on the startin line up.Anyway, doesnt matter anymore, we ve lost.
Im very worried abt our 4 full back, especially Sillly, as well as Sagna tonite lacked a bit of concentration, but still a gud game for him thou.All Liv’s 3 goals were totaly caused by the back4 poor defensiv quality, Franckly, i really miss Gallas.Why couldnt we play this line up last saturday??? with Ade up front????/We will see whts gonna happen with manu now, but we cant afford to have our defenders performing like those agst Manu.Lots of hope in me that we will crash them agst rooney.s statements last week sayin that he is relaxed coz he is facing Arsenal on the semi final, lets see!!!! Ok guys, Bye for now, What a wonderfull game I watched tonite??? Big praise for Arshavin, he has really proved himself to le boos tonite.

Only a pound, but it’s better than a kick in the teeth! Arsenal V Liverpool are always 1-1 draws or absolute goal fests. When we were 4-3 up I was laughing!
