Liverpool 1 Arsenal 1

Arsenal was very lucky to equalise via a rare error by Peppe Reina. It was the same old Arsenal, lots of passing without penetration, soft at the back. The central defence does not have enough cover because they lost 4 players and bought only 1. Even the one player that was bought was not strong nor tall in stature.

There were no strengthening of the central defence to protect the 4 gnomes at the back. Our goalkeeper is still as butterfingers. I don't care if Almunia makes several good saves in this game. He missed clearing a corner kick and that didn't instill confidence at the back.

Loyal fans of Arsenal can defend Wenger to the death, saying that he achieved Champions League football on a shoestring budget. But our shift to the Emirates is over. We have paid back the bulk of our long-term debt. What are we saving our bullets for?

This season should end without a trophy for Arsenal again. It's a sad ending that's likely to happen.
