Also, how do you put the tweet in the post like that? I can never do it properly. #noobAll over the French press as well, think we will get him cheaper than what Lyon were first asking but I reckon this gets done
Yeah hence what I meant that I can see Luiz not wanting to exert his full capacity.
I just copy link and paste?

If we get Aouar done quickly we can't rule out a deadline day deal on Partey. Players like him are rarely available so cheap and easy and letting that buyout lapse would be silly. I know we say there's no money but we also said that pre-Pepe last season.
The challenge we have this time is the €50m release clause needs to paid in one upfront payment for Partey. We cannot conjure the 3-4 year instalment package we did for Pepe last year.

Undoubtedly true. We're definitely playing transfer chicken with them over Torreira though.
Yes it does seem apparent Arsenal are trying to package in a player for Partey. But Atletico are treating them as two separate transactions, which is fair enough. And we’d need to be careful not to take the piss, the earlier offers of Guendouzi plus cash wasn’t received too well.
A release clause is a release clause, it’s quite definitive. We either activate that via one payment or we don’t. I get it, selling Torreria to them is much more favourable than a loan. But time is also of the essence with so many players who we’re expecting to be sold still haven’t finalised.
Seeing those earlier tweets that CC posted, am thinking only Aouar gets over the line this window and Edu can do his thing with his counterpart Juninho.
Interesting to see Ozil and Guendouzi still training in the footage released this morning.
I think we will lose, but we will put in a respectable performance.
Would absolutely take a point if offered. I don’t believe we’ll be blown away like the last few visits to Anfield, and hoping to come out of there with our GD still somewhat intact.

Draw is our best hope
If we get a draw would be a good result, a win would be a great result considering the results of other games early this season. Get ourselves locked into that top 4 early on.

Will require an outstanding defensive effort to get any result. Regardless, we're on an upward trajectory and have a lot to look forward to under Arteta.
Apparently they have a few out?

Tomorrow morning I feel is a far better indication of where Arsenal are currently at. As nice as it was to beat the Liverpool the last two times, it’s difficult to get an accurate read on that.
Given the first was when they’d already sealed the league title, the second a glorified friendly.

That’s easily our best performance at Anfield since winter 15/16.
Liverpool absolutely dominated the first half - I said aloud “that’s some proper bullshit” in the wake of Lacazette’s goal.
Their first was down to Salah’s brilliance, though Tierney could have had more help (we were slightly caught off-guard in expectation the foul on Keita would be called back). As for the other two conceded - soft as they come, with 2) Willian not tracking AR & 3) a poor clearance from Luiz.
Defensively I feel there’s only so much you can do against the world’s best front 3. With time will come further gelling of our centre halves, and Holding/Luiz won’t be our first-choice pairing for long so I’m not concerned at all - just would have rather faced Pool 19th instead of 3rd.
When we successfully played out the back (a rare feat tonight considering our mediocre passing), there were gaps to exploit and our first goal was one of numerous opportunities. Poor execution (credit to Liverpool), but we were doing the right thing.
Mentally speaking, we remained resilient throughout - a refreshing change of pace given the past capitulations.
The need to do business is perfectly clear. Xhaka did okay and Elneny I was impressed with, however the gulf in class I felt was most evident in the middle. Fabinho was outstanding, playing the role we need Partey to come in and do. Aouar we clearly need, though Ceballos cut through Pool’s banks with ease when the opportunity arose (between each 5 minute block of defending). The urge for creativity is slightly excessive in my opinion - it’s obviously a requirement but a ball-winning 6 I personally yearn for.
We could have stolen a point there, though it’s a fair result given Liverpool’s dominance. Time to get active in the market. Can we get both Aouar and Partey in this window? I hope Arteta isn’t faced with a decision between them.

Have worked my way through the match, we genuinely had a crack and didn’t look out of place taking on the best team in the business.
Mane’s elbow was high however I felt a yellow card was appropriate, didn’t think it was a red. The second and third goals conceded, just have to do better really. That’s the difference at this level, Liverpool punish those mistakes.
100% agree with Cluggage regarding that missing piece in the centre of midfield. Was surprised when I saw Elneny named again. It’s being left later however some big transactions do happen very late in the window. Let’s hope.

As far as I'm aware, Dzeko was on the verge of leaving for Juve, so presumably Laca was one of their targets for replacement.
Didn't see the game but read a report that said Jota's goal was 110% a handball?
