That's Southampton and Liverpool we have had dismal first halves against now.

If we don't come out of the blocks quicker against these smaller teams then what hope do we have against Bayern, City and Chelsea?

Hopefully Arsene has given them the talking to they need to now go into the tough run and show up at kick off.

I have a lot of respect for arsenal fans because of how you fans come on our site and we have good banter but to cool Liverpool a small club is very disrespectful.

Still because so many of you are so nice and in general arsenal is a much better club then the chavs or man city I really hope you win the league if we can't!

I think I can get what you're saying, but you can't call Liverpool a small team! You're kidding. Southampton are a decent side as well. That's being disrespectful.

yes we have injuries to some key players (Rambo and theo), but I think one of the reasons we are found out against better teams is because we lack a top class striker and a dominate def mid type player.

And as much as I love the guy and he been great for us, mertz, I think his lack of pace and mobility and can be found out against the top strikers (hence the need for a quality def mid).

anyhow, I agree with you, we are starting off far too slow and need to pick up it up, if we're not going to end a promising season into a disappointing one.

I think you are being harsh on Southampton let alone Liverpool who are a huge club and the fact they have the best strike force in the EPL means they cannot be discounted from winning the whole thing IMHO.

We were sunk fair and square but yes we do now need positive results against the next big 3 City, Chelsea and United.

No matter how much United have struggled they are still a big team and they more than most we need a big result against.

I said smaller not small. In terms of realistic ambition and last decade of football it's factually correct.
Only Chelsea, Man City and United are bigger and of course you'd include Bayern.

Firstly, fair play to you guys who've come to our page in the last 24 hours.

In terms of class, you're definitely ahead of United, Chelsea and Spurs fans, for me. I don't know any City fans!

Paul, genuine question. You say Arsenal are a "bigger" team than Liverpool based on the last 10 years?

In that time we've won -

1 Champions League
1 FA Cup
1 League Cup
1 UEFA Super Cup
1 Community Shield

Even if you take it back 20 years we have 12 trophies to your 11.

I'd personally put Liverpool and Arsenal on a par in terms of club size.

Good luck for the rest of the season.
