Fans beg Arsenal not to bottle Premier League dream
Arsenal’s Premier League title hopes took a twist following their 2-2 draw with Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday.
The Gunners took a 2-0 lead courtesy of the Brazilian duo Gabriel Martinelli and Gabriel Jesus but Liverpool still forced their way back through Mohamed Salah, who missed a penalty, and substitute Roberto Firmino.
Liverpool piled on the pressure for a winner but Arsenal had goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale to thank with his numerous breathtaking saves.
The result leaves Arsenal six points clear of Manchester City at the top. Opposition fans question whether Mikel Arteta’s men can still win the league as they still have to face City likewise tough opposition in West Ham United, Chelsea, Newcastle United and Brighton & Hove Albion.
For the Arsenal fans, some still believe winning a first league title in 19 years is possible despite Sunday’s minor setback.
We are going to a whole new app for the banter that will ensue if Arsenal don't win this league sha. I will dedicate a team of 5 to generate vicious banter content for 3 months for me. You people should just win it. For the sake of your mental health. Don't say I didn't warn you

All Arsenal fans need to join Ramadan to fast & pray cos if they fail to win this league, Elon Musk fit close Twitter NG.

Brace up, guys 🔥🔥

Top goalkeepers win points,Aaron Rammsdale once again confirmed my belief that he is an asset to Arsenal's title chase with his 5 star performance vs. Liverpool. If Arsenal wants to be champion, there is a need to muscle up against top opponents, in my opinion. Superb point won! pic.twitter.com/PUNuH85Y11

– Zinchenko was swallowed
– Ramdale at par with De Gea
– Salah is exhausted– Add yours

Arsenal are getting absolutely smashed at the Etihad btw, if not for Salah and Ramsdale they lose comfortably today. It’s in City’s hands now

If Arsenal lose the PL title from this point, the players, coaches and fans could all go into serious depression. It will take a lot of Character to perform at this level again.
Mental experts and psychologists should start submitting their CVs to Arsenal if that happens.

I’m very Confident that Arsenal will win the League.
– I love it that everybody is focused on Arsenal dropping points. Please keep on telling us we can’t win the League.. That’s the Motivation the players needs.
Arsenal this and that from MD 1. You will keep hoping till MD 38.

This Liverpool 2 – 2 Arsenal, feels like the MU 4 – 4 Everton in the 11/12 season when we lost an eight point lead to City. We went to Etihad and got nailed with a Kompany header.
We went on to lose the title by GD.
If City beats Arsenal, they lead by GD.

Up next for Arsenal are relegation fighters West Ham and Southampton, back to back, before the annihilation against Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium. We will be there no matter what.

City fans are not noisy because they have no fans. If Arsenal win the league we won't have peace. They are already unbearable. I'm putting my money on City!

I’m willing to bet 1m with anyone that Arsenal will not lose at Ethihad. Infact another 500k that they will win there.
Read the future na.

Following Arsenal’s dropped points at Anfield, I think Chelsea are realistically still in the title race. If and only if the boys stop giving everything. pic.twitter.com/BP88pp7V3d

If you're an Arsenal fan you might moan about the result today.
If you're an Arsenal supporter you'll be saying we are a point closer to the title.

If Frank Lampard loses every game but manages to beat only Arsenal and Man United, I want him as the permanent manager.

Mikel Arteta is a tactical genius; he meticulously planned his game strategy and anticipated everything Liverpool threw at his team. Regardless of the outcome, Arsenal played a solid game. Up, gunners. #LIVARS Liverpool vs Arsenal Salah pic.twitter.com/2aGeXi4p9T
