Arsenal 0 Vs Liverpool 0 FT
Just imagine if Manchester City had won at least 2 of the last 3 games that they drew, the gap woul have closed drastically. I knew it that a big team that's not in form against another big team that's in form the score line will likely not go in favour of what majority thinks. I felt that Arsenal were not going to win Liverpool even though we all know they are in a bad form. Worse case scenario would have been a draw and it happened as I guessed it, but I wasn't expecting a goalless draw though. This was supposed to be a win for them to further increase their chances of winning the league but Liverpool didn't allow it and held them up to a draw. Arsenal were thinking what happened against Aston Villa should have happened as well against Liverpool.

That's a disgraceful moment. I believe 99% bettors were rooting for Arsenal, yet the result really don't give them joy. This is the same moment when i was thinking City was winning, but Chelsea equalized the score. It's such a disastrous moment caused by we're just a few inch from winning, but ended in losing through unexpected ways.
However, Liverpool could win it if Bradley's shoot was not hitting the bar.  

The draw quota was favorable, but speaking honestly, I wouldn't have expected a draw.
Still the points of distance from the league leaders are not enough to "secure" the title.
Arsenal's next game should not be tough on paper, but at this point I have to worry?
I'm not an Arsenal fan but it's also time to put a clear gap on the other teams and shut everyone up about this eventual trophy.

Fortunately I didn’t bet on Arsenal vs Liverpool match because I would have picked Arsenal to win. It’s disappointing that Arsenal could not bear Liverpool when they are down. The second half was just horrible to watch, Liverpool were pressing as if they were the home team. I hope this dreadful performance doesn’t repeat itself.

Liverpool was unfortunate not to have beaten Arsenal, I was watching the game I was thinking in my head that this was a good chance for Liverpool to beat Arsenal again, I believe everyone thought Liverpool was going to be beaten by Arsenal, Unfortunately for Arsenal they saw a different game against Liverpool, they were not expecting Liverpool to turn up so much, but they should’ve know they are playing against the Premier League Champions, I was actually thinking is it the Arsenal people keep telling me are going to win the Premier League.

Liverpool really played a good game yesterday, they dominated chances but they were still unfortunate to get the victory. I know the was going to be a challenging game and tough one for both team, but no matter how much Liverpool have lost form, I don't expect Arsenal to have an easy win against them because my expectations in their matches are always 50-50 chances. But despite Liverpool being dominance in the game, that doesn't change the fact that Arsenal are not in form because for Arsenal to withstand such pressure and still maintain a draw, in my opinion was something special.

It was exciting to watch both teams attack and counter attack but the failure to score was disappointing for the players.

I found yesterday's match unexciting, or rather boring. Both teams played cautiously without any strong attacks. What I saw yesterday was Arsenal playing under pressure, even though they were playing at home, but the pressure was to get points and avoid defeat. Meanwhile, Liverpool also didn't want to lose, as they needed points to maintain their position. Perhaps that's why neither team scored at all.

Boring is the perfect word for yesterday's disappointing league game between league leaders Arsenal and fourth placed Liverpool. The both defense were good but I the attackers could've done better. The only clear chance in the was when Bradley chipped the ball over the Arsenal goalkeeper but was denied by the woodwork.  In games like this, pressure isn't enough, Arsenal needed the individual brilliance of their star players to break Liverpool's defense but none of them was ready to save the day. At the end, I think Liverpool was very happy with the result as it was a game that was played at the home of the most consistent team in the league this season

It is better to play draw than to see a defeat as outcome. The both team are trying to play safe especially for Liverpool that is not in form benching one of their skilled players for no tangible reason that have resulted in multiple loses for the entire team.
Arsenal has become one of my favorite team currently I know that their chances winning the league is high.

Your analysis is right but we could we expect, yea arsenal form is incomparable to that of Liverpool but Liverpool is still a big team we should know that, arsenal also know that fact, although Arsenal had 4 shot on target but non was converted into a goal, this things happens but one thing I will say for sure is that, both teams played what they know how to play despite that their finishing was a bit poor, they draw atleast is good for both teams, arsenal don't need the draw but it is better than being defeated by Liverpool, actually both team never wanted to give an easy space to be penetrated, draw it is, good for both team.

[1kodumtek7]

When does he think about being any use for the team you think? This is just ridiculous statistic. 0 shots in whole 7 matches??? Man your job is to score goals. You had one job but you couldn't even shoot once...

His number of touches with the ball was less than 10 against Liverpool. I don't want to blame it all on him for this draw. But he surely deserves to be criticized harshly because of making not much progress.

Although this is a bad result for Arsenal, it is a good result for Liverpool. Liverpool has been performing irregularly for a long time. Also, Salah, Ekitike and Isak were out of the squad due to injuries in this match. All three main players in the attack were out of the squad. That is why Liverpool's attacks were quite weak in this match. Arne Slot wanted to draw the match and he succeeded. But Arsenal should have performed better. They did not play well in the home match. Arsenal only had 9 shots in the entire match. They could not find the weakness in Liverpool's defense.

[Oluwa-btc]

I watched the Arsenal vs Liverpool match and it was really a dull game.
Despite Arsenal playing well in the first half, they were very poor in the second half and couldn’t create any chances.
Liverpool’s most dangerous opportunity was a shot that hit the post.

Arsenal missed an important opportunity, they could have increased the points gap with their rivals but failed to win.

For Liverpool, it looks like Arne Slot’s era will continue for a while longer.

Really?! I wouldn't say that. It ended 0-0 but had some bit of actions. It wasn't a dull game.
Liverpool too charge of the second half of the game. Missing pieces has got to be the absence of Mo Salah and Hugo Ekitike.
The Hungarian Szoboszail was also influential but they failed to find the back of the net. Nine points after that Liverpool game was just the perfect plan but then, good thing they didn't lose at home. The opportunity will arise for them to extend that after all. They look determined and focused, even the management feels that way.

Arsenal has become one of my favorite team currently I know that their chances winning the league is high.

They have always have a higher chances of winning the English premier League title in the past few seasons that they gave it away to Manchester City, even when everyone thought that it was their year to be crown champions.

I can't recall the year but I can still remember when arsenal was leading Manchester City by eight points gap and it was remaining only seven games to the end of the season, that year everyone expected arsenal to win the league and even have some few games to spare, but to the surprise of everyone, the bottled it by being inconsistent during that period, so that was how they lost the league title that season. So because of that past record of arsenal being a bottler, I am still not confident in them till they changes my perspective about them by winning this year English premier league title especially now that they are in a promising position.

I know some football analysis and pundits has been saying that Arteta has made Gyokeres into a more deep centre forward, facilitating hold up plays for his team mates but this stat is just wild as a striker, inasmuch as you try to start an attack, you should be able to be atleast a threat to the opposition defense. What's surprising about Gyokeres play is that for a man that is that thick, he tends to fall easily, he should do better because this stat is just ridiculous.

[Byebyebtc]

To be honest I bet on Arsenal but another bettor bet on Liverpool so no one won. It didn't work out for me but I felt sorry for Arsenal after watching the match because they had a chance to go even higher in terms of points but didn't. It was exciting to watch both teams attack and counter attack but the failure to score was disappointing for the players.

It didn't work out and Arsenal still have more chances of increasing their points. Even though they had lost this opportunity, they can still increase their points further by winning their next game. Arsenal is still in a favorable position event though they couldn't finish the job last night. The outcome of the game didn't affect arsenal much and it also favoured Manchester city and Aston villa because Arsenal didn't extend the points gap.

Arsenal and Liverpool can only share points, I think Arsenal can win, but they cannot dismantle the defense built by Liverpool, and vice versa Liverpool also cannot dismantle Arsenal's defense.
But looking at the course of the match, I think this is a fair result for both teams even though I actually hope Arsenal can win. Luckily for Arsenal, because all their competitors also got a draw so that it did not affect the difference in points which was still the same until week 21.

I consider it a fair match, they both tried their best, it doesn't really matter who is better, they are both strong clubs. What is important is how well they performed in the match, and from the look of their performance, Liverpool played a very defensive match making it totally difficult for Arsonal to win, as they where the favourite to win.

Nevertheless they Sheard points, their performance was great. But arsenal has more probabilities of win the trophy.

The worst ever Arsenal - Liverpool game it must be honestly.    This fixture is normally one of the games with the most number of goals in the league history.

But last night I was really disappointed. My bet was on BTTS and I couldn't even get excited. Actually I should admit I did once when Bradley got so close to scoring but his shot hit the post.

Arsenal played horrible in the second half. I wouldn't be surprised if Liverpool won.

The last time they drew in the Premier League with H2H was in the 2015 season and now it's happening again --- except for the EFL Cup.

Certainly without a goal in this match there are many who are disappointed on the other hand Liverpool can still stay in 4th PL position, if Liverpool take advantage of every match to get points maybe the position can compete with Man City.

The weekend is no match, we wait for next week again.

You weren't alone in your disappointment man.. I had thought Arsenal was hungry enough to fight and claim the win against Liverpool but was surprised and quite disappointed when they went on to draw the game. I too thought we'll see both sides get a goal and I had predicted a scoreline of 3:1 in favor of Arsenal. Well, a draw is always better than a loss but Arsenal needs to be more serious about winning games and accumulate as many points as they can if they want to retain their lead at the top of the table. had placed a bet on Arsenal winning the game but lost out as well.
They're 6 points away from Man city and Aston villa who are still hot on their heels. A 6 points difference isn't much so Arsenal needs to remain strong and focused.

Gyokeres' performance has declined drastically. Since the start of the season, Gyokeres' performances have been quite good, but for some reason, he hasn't scored in a long time. Gyokeres must evaluate himself and improve his performance if he doesn't want to be benched, especially with Gabriel Jesus returning to his best form after recovering from injury. Arsenal brought Gyokeres in with high expectations to provide a solution in attack, but his performance has been truly poor.

[ILuckyGuyI]

Chelsea is going after Igor Thiago says the source below.



He is 24 years old by the way. Can you believe it?    He never looks that young to me so I got surprised when I first heard. Anyways what do you think about this potential deal?

£70m isn't a low amount of money. Spending efficiently is very important. He is doing great by scoring 16 goals until now. However for now it's hard to tell if he can keep it up at a bigger club too.

I agree it was a bad result for Arsenal because Liverpool beat Arsenal in the first league match at Anfield, which made me expect Arsenal to win at Emirates, but honestly they didn't play to their best. from Liverpool lineup I knew Arne Slot wanted a draw because Liverpool attack wasn't good due to their players injuries, but their defence was solid, which helped Arne Slot succeed with the draw he wanted.

It would have been better if Arsenal had won this match, but their performance wasn't impressive. But this draw isn't bad it's an advantage for them because Manchester City who are in a run with them also drew with Brighton, which helped Arsenal maintain their six point gap.

For Liverpool, it looks like Arne Slot’s era will continue for a while longer.

I wanted to watch the match between Arsenal and Liverpool so that i could see if Arsenal can make use of the chance that was given to them by Brighton and Crystal Palace, but i was caught off guard when the game was about to start, and i could not watch the game. I was so disappointed when i found out that Arsenal and Liverpool played 0:0 because Arsenal missed a chance of increasing the points gap between them and Manchester City. When i was scrolling through facebook this morning, i saw a video where an Arsenal defender and goalkeeper committed a blunder that Liverpool could have used to score a goal, but Arsenal were lucky the shot hit the goal post.

Due to Liverpool's form we were quick to write them off and think that they wouldn't be able to stand a chance against arsenal but sometimes football has a way of surprising us.if Arsenal struggled against Liverpool i wonder what would have happened if they had faced Manchester city. They need to do their best in their next matches so that they are not going to end up losing points

I was expecting Arsenal to beat Liverpool and increase their chances of winning the league title this season, but even if Arsenal could not achieve the maximum points in their yesterday game with Liverpool, i will not blame Arsenal because big games in the premier league are always hard to predict, and i would say Arsenal even tried to avoid defeat yesterday. Even if Arsenal missed a good chance of increasing the points gap yesterday, i still believe Manchester City will drop points in their upcoming matches because they are not in form at the moment. This season's title fight is between Arsenal and Manchester City, so i think you should only be worried about Manchester City.

[Wakate]

They have always have a higher chances of winning the English premier League title in the past few seasons that they gave it away to Manchester City, even when everyone thought that it was their year to be crown champions.

Anyone can make mistake and I will not blame Arsenal for their last mistakes and this will be this time for them to show the whole world that yhey could improve this time and win the premier league.
If Arsenal fail is and does not win this league, it is going to be a big disgrace to Arsenal and all their fans around the globe.
