On the latest RAW, Trev Downey, Jim Boardman and Guy Drinkel discuss the hugely dispiriting loss to Arsenal in a wide ranging chat that encompasses several topics, including: the selection by Klopp wasn't the right one; the continuing story of underwhelming Dutch lads; the rarity that is a poor VVD game; Trev's irrational antipathy towards Arteta and Arsenal; the lack of urgency and questionable attitude of the best right back in the world; Mac Allister emerges with great credit; our substitutions fail monumentally to impact the game; the inevitable pessimism that will now pollute social media as they fall for the Sky NARRATIVE(trademark)
and the lads' remaining optimism that this league can still be won.
