If embarrassment was just a feeling, then that could sum up the mood for all the gooners around the globe. The 4-0 thrashing at the hands of Liverpool was just too abysmal, it was not down to a bad referee decision , or a horrific injury, it was just bad football.
The players looked lethargic, and the abject performance costed us a strong stance in the premier league, even finishing in the top 4 seems like a mountain of a task now. Even though Liverpool's finishing was plausible, our defense had too many cracks, and players lacked commitment and spirit.
Even though we had a couple of chances to score, we were still outplayed and outclassed by the reds.
The formation and the squad selection was the major talking point before the game, and it just fell apart, our youth has to improve and not just be a "future prospect", we want results now, we want world class players and quality football to watch and applaud and appreciate. We can't just make and stew in our stool, something has to be improved, may be hire some therapists to help players express themselves better and be proud to be wearing an arsenal shirt just as we are proud gooners.
Any which way, it was a bad game, we will hopefully bounce back with more intent and vigor in the next game against Bournemouth on saturday. Sorry didn't really talk about the game here, still too "embarrassed" to talk about/ decipher a lost cause.
