A competent linesman.... the crossbar, post and Peter Cech. Bit more accurate I'd say.
No denying Arsenals a great squad. I enjoy watching them. Somethings missing from them at the moment though. Maybe Packer will tell us (or provide 7 paragraphs of whinging).
Draw was fair. Zeroes surprised.
I know it kills you, but some credit to Liverpool is deserved. At Stoke and Arsenal to end the year last season they were outplayed 10-2. Now, they've picked up 4 points and conceded 0 goals.
Or, just sulk a bit more.
I don't think it's nothing that isn't there already for Arsenal. I don't know why but too many players just seem lethargic and rusty. Chamberlain was our best player in preseason, yet can't get the nod over Ramsey, and Sanchez is still a tad bit away from full fitness. Coquelin has been the only player who has looked up for it through all 3 games, and that nearly, and should've, got him sent off against Palace.
Based on the balance of play, you're right a draw was probably the only rational result. If a linesman could tell a straight line from a diagonal, we'd have a disputed 1-0 win for Arsenal instead. To tell you the truth, my nerves were almost completely fried when it was announced that Kos and Per were both out.
You do have to give Liverpool some credit, they have stuck out for some results, we can all argue the manner they achieved them until we're red in the face, you can't take the points away from them regardless. But they have to start getting the points based on their own ability and not rely on refereeing calls, good or bad, to decide the games.
