Welcome in to the latest edition of ESPN FC. I'm Dan Thomas joined by Craig Burley and Stevie Nicholl. We'll kick things off in the Premier League. League leaders Arsenal in action against Liverpool. Arsenal of course with the chance to stretch their lead to eight points at the top of the table. That didn't materialise though. They just didn't click in the final third. Liverpool without a shot on target, they will be happy to leave the Emirates with a point as it finishes 0-0. What that means then, Arsenal 6th clear at the top of the table, Liverpool 4th, 2 points clear of Brentford. Let's welcome in for more on this Frank the Buff and Luis Garcia. Evie, you would have taken a point at kick-off wouldn't you?
I would, I would have taken a 0-0 after half an hour. Well, it took Liverpool 25 minutes. The highlight we showed was the first time Liverpool had had any possession of the ball and any sort of strike at goal. After that, in terms of strikes at goal, Liverpool still didn't have any. But the second half was competitive. The first half wasn't competitive. Arsenal had Liverpool penned in. Liverpool could not get out, couldn't keep the ball. And then when somebody actually got a hold of it... Everybody was too busy defending.
What were the highlights of Real Madrid's victory over Atletico Madrid?
There was nowhere to go. So first half was complete and utter domination from Arsenal. Arsenal's front three, completely blunt, totally blunt. Jocky Rez probably could have been better off sat on the bench beside his manager. But the second half was competitive. Neither side created any real chances. And at the end of the day, I guess 0-0 is probably the right result. Yeah, I think it's difficult to argue that. Frank, I think a 0-0 draw probably sums this game up quite nicely. Yes, exactly. I would have never thought that after the first half, but that's the reality of what happened today. If Arsenal were very dominant, as Stevie alluded before, Liverpool showed their strength in the second half. It needed, I think, Gabriel Jesus' header and the 88th minute for Arsenal to have a chance in the second half.
So it says a lot about the fact that Liverpool, if they park the bus in a way in the first half, they try something in the second half. So the result is only fair for me. Arsenal did something to Liverpool that not many teams have been able to do this year, which made them actually look pretty decent defensively. Because they haven't kept that many clean sheets, particularly on the road, even at home at Anfield.
What were the key moments in the Arsenal vs Liverpool match?
But I think we saw once again that You know, we've discussed sort of Jacques Cres, and it's not all on him. Of course it's not. But when a couple of those balls are fizzing across the six-yard box, he's on his heels. Eight touches he had in the whole game. He's not in there. It's not happening at the moment. And dare I say, they probably will win the league. I mean, that's a bit of a stutter for them today. But it might be a case where... He's not the starting number nine. Jesus is fit now. Havertz is there or thereabouts, I believe. And quite frankly, Arsenal are where they are, despite him, not because of him. Why? When we were calling out last year when Kai Havertz was missing chances, we were saying, right, Arsenal need a number nine, a target man.
Well, they needed a number nine. Most of us thought that, but they needed a really good number nine. At the moment... He's not. I mean, Declan Rice talks about the fact that he's getting, you know, defenders are getting tight to him and all that sort of stuff. You don't think defenders are getting tight to Erling Haaland? Well, you think they're playing man for man on Haaland? They're not. He's just been, well, look, he's a much better player.
