If everyone keeps winning and City beat Liverpool, then it will only be our game against them making the difference, not exactly over the hill from us

Robertson is class. Their back 4 is why they're challenging this year. Finally got some steel back there.

But would you swap him for a fit Rose? Would you swap van dyke and lovren for Toby and Jan? They are playing Milner at right back would you swap him for either of ours?

It’s not about quality it’s mentality... it has to be or it makes no sense

It's not about swapping or like for like - it's about cohesion and they've found theirs. To be honest I like Robertson and TAA as players and think Liverpool have done very well to unearth them and play them.

I just want the team to fail to make Carragher and other slimy arrogant fans feel pain. Lots of it.

Which was my original point, they aren’t better players, you could say the same all over the pitch. They are just in the groove which is why it’s frustrating... as I said originally

Their players had a preseason, they have fitness and they’ve had no injuries. There’s your answer.

You don’t mind when it’s city because deep down you know they have quality everywhere.... de bruyne, Silva, Sterling, aguero, Walker, Mendy, fernadhino, Sane, mahrez....

But Liverpool! Really? They aren’t any better than us

They're consistent and still unbeaten this season. They also don't bottle it in derbies or rivals !

I'd say their "cohesion" as a team has been better than ours over the season - just as ours was in previous seasons. That back four has been more cohesive than ours this season for various reasons but I don't think you can deny it. Injuries and other factors play into that for sure.But Robertson; VVD and TAA are as good as any going around now and in the future.

Chances both ways already in Arse-Burn (one of my favourite abbreviations in the PL).

Should be goals in this. Come on Burnley.

Sky haven't even tried to be balanced here with this fixture. 2 Arsenal in the studio and Alan Smith on commentary.

Loads of empty seats as per. But the attendance will be announced as 60k anyway.

That pass by Ozil makes the goal tbf, even if they were lucky it fell to Aubameyang.
