Obviously saving themselves for Utd.

[Dinny Breen]

You think he's not serious about competing? With 14 games left? And top?

If you are serious about competing with 14 games to go and a legitimate shot then you reinforce.

The world and his wife knew he needed at least another forward. What did he sign....

And his options off the bench are..........

Amazing that Wenger sees Arteta as a holding midfielder. Couldn't tackle a paper bag.

There is no validation to your opinion as you only post when things go wrong. Empty!

[Dinny Breen]

Would take a draw at Anfield but have to beat Utd midweek - even just for the development of this side.

Agree with that Liverpool aren't a benchmark and a win over Man United would starve inner doubt and feed the belief that they can actual do something this season.

You need to look up benchmarking.

One off performances while of exceptional standard are not a benchmark.

Are you going to lock the thread again.

Arsenals season just won downhill gold at the winter olympics.

Yeh. Sure.

I'm not wrong though.

Fascinating to see how Arsenal respond. It has been a strength all season.

Tyroneman, no amount of signings would have prevented that 4-0 after 20 mins....especially a forward.

That was freakish.

Still fancy arsenal to finish 3rd this year.

Have responded well so far this season to set backs, Wednesday will be interesting.

Who are you kidding? Manchester United under David Moyes are no benchmark. For Arsenal to do something this season they will have to beat Liverpool in the FA cup next weekend, after today that looks unlikely to happen.

Not unlikely at all. This game is not in Anfield! Liverpool have no bother getting up for the big game here and there, but they cannot do it week in week out. Wenger because of a busy schedule and a small squad will have to probably prioritise certain games this month. Will he treat the FA Cup as a secondary competition? Will be hard after today and in front of home support.

That was freakish.

The signing of a forward who posed a mobile threat might have given Liverpool something to think about. 

The signing of a decent lb and at least one decent defensive MF might have helped also.

The absence of Flamini was crucial today. Arteta is not a leader. Wasn't at Rangers. Wasn't at Everton. Isn't at Arsenal.

Out of the top 6 teams I would like to see Arsenal take the title.  It's just quite frustrating to see Wenger fail to strengthen from a position of strength a la Chelsea.

No one is arguing with you because all you do is criticise Wenger and never give credit, measured analysis.

I would always be a half-full kinda of person always looking for a positive but would try and offer measured criticism and would have loved to see a strike come in January but it is what it is.

Anyhow Man United will be under immense pressure for a result on Wednesday night, if they have looked at the Liverpool game and the Southampton one before that they will see Arsenal didn't like been put under pressure high up the field and coughed up possession really easy. That way is the way to play the Arsenal so I'm hoping Moyes will become negative and try and park the bus, that would suit Arsenal to a tee.

Nobody wants this title?
