Looks like Tonali is straight into that deeper position. I'm guessing we are going to start to struggle to get out of our half and build up any kind of decent play going forward now.

Absolutely shocking how much better the build up is with Bruno orchestrating. Wissa has to put that away.

Pretty sure Ben White has said he doesn't watch football. He just enjoys playing and outside of that doesn't really follow it.

Think he's more versatile than that from what I recall. Don't think he over does the possession thing.

Would have preferred they gave it to Ole. I think Carrick might have something about him, and it's a good opportunity for them to explore that. Going to be interesting to see how he gets on. Think he may do surprisingly well with the calibre of players they have.

Damn.

Playing on the right today right? Looked good there earlier in the season. Could do with him performing well there and giving another option for that position. Has he been bad in general, or was it just the bad miss?

Nice. Sounds good

And it's working well with build up then? Having the two midfielders alongside each other? Does it look more fluid than it has most of this season? If so it's probably something we should do more of even when we don't start two strikers.

How are things looking with building up from the back without Bruno there? Is the double pivot with this setup helping make that easier?

Martinelli is fucking nuts. Why he's bothered about getting on with the game I'll never know. He's been utter shite.

Arteta.

The poor sods that have sat in the cold and rain for this mess man. I'd be raging.

Martinelli is shocking man

What a ball by Madueke finally! And there's no striker or winger from the far side there

Frimpong with a chance to take MLS on in transition. Stops and goes backwards for more horseshoe passing.

Arteta is 100% playing for a draw here. At home against this Liverpool side missing so many players. Diabolical stuff.

The state of Martinelli there

My God this is pitiful Both sides competing to see who can complete the most sideways passes under no pressure. Seriously, what actually is this?!

Take that over this nonsense all day every day. God forbid Newcastle ever play this stupid brand of football. Can't believe Liverpool have gone from Klopp to this crap.

Its unacceptable IMO.

Absolutely disgusting showing this. Boring non threatening football. Despite all their so called top technical players.

Arsenal as tedious and dull as ever. Should be all over this Liverpool side, but just spend too long going side to side and are so painfully slow and impotent.

Yeah, but wingers are going to lose the ball. Our wingers need more touches further up the pitch to get into a rhythm and build some momentum. We are incapable of setting them up to do this. Doku for example loses the ball a good amount, but he keeps getting it in forward areas to go at his full back, and it inevitably pays off this season. Our wingers most often get the ball in awkward areas deep in our half with no midfield support showing for the ball for them to combine with enough, and it's all just a mess.
