Banter aside, rivals always show up. It was arrogant of many Arsenal fans to take this match for granted
Refs in this league are going to be the reason I stop watching.
Even though it would have benefited Liverpool if arsenal lost I’m glad Chelsea didn’t win such an unlikable team
GG, Chelsea. That was the best I’ve see you play in a long long time.
We were not good today. I think starting Jorgi was wrong, but the first 30 minutes wasn’t even vibes. Just chaos. Glad we fought back and earned a point. Think Mikel and co have a lot to do. Glad Saka got himself an assist. I was thinking he was really still hurt cause he did not look like his usual self.
Shout to Raya and Sanchez. Just two bros looking out for each other.
My word, the center ref was dog shit. Dude was stealing free kicks from us. He missed called for both teams. Refs like him will ruin the league and fans will eventually stop watching.
Poch made unnecessary subs, sure, Sanchez made a mistake, sure but what is going under the radar is the truly abysmal shift the Chelsea pivots put in after being 2 up. Not a good look for 200m+ duo
