Peter talks to\u00a0@GoonerGimli, aka Matt Carr, about the big Friday night fixture…<\/h2>\n

How would you sum up Arsenals season so far?<\/h3>\n

Disappointing, players have failed to turn up and some are demonstrating a real lack of ability. Many will think we automatically deserve top 4 but, in truth, our best days are just a memory.<\/p>\n

Did you feel it was time for a change when AW signed his new contract?<\/h3>\n

Yes, when we finished last season the atmosphere was toxic both inside and outside the stadium. The whole will-he-won’t-he sign saga affected both players and fans. I think many questioned his ability to do the job and after 20 years, a new approach was needed. I personally thought a new manager was needed to freshen things up.<\/p>\n

How will Arsene Wenger approach this game tactically against Liverpool?<\/h3>\n

I don’t think there will be many surprises. In big games we don’t show any different style of play than we would against a team in the bottom half of the table. At the moment it’s all too predictable.<\/p>\n

Do Arsenal have any injuries or suspensions for Friday?<\/h3>\n

Ramsey was got injured v Newcastle and certainly won’t feature, as well as Giroud who got injured yesterday v West Ham. Mustafi is just back in training but still may not feature and, apart from Cazorla who is a long-term absentee, we have no other injuries.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

What’s your opinion on Arsenal fan TV? Is it good or bad for the club?<\/h3>\n
My opinion on AFTV is quite simple. It’s a great idea that’s been ruined by idiots. I think many Arsenal fans look at it as a click bait soap opera where each week we have another mouthy idiot who wants to be famous. If they interviewed different fans every week it would be successful for the right reasons instead being popular for the wrong reasons.<\/div>\n

What is your score prediction and why?<\/h3>\n

I think it will be a 1-1 draw as I can’t bet against my club but in big games we have a horrible record.<\/p>\n

Do you think Arsenal will do much business in January, in or out?<\/h3>\n
No, I don’t think there will be many comings or goings because Wenger has been recorded saying he dislikes the January window. I think there’s the possibility we may lose Alexis but I’m not confident he will replace him until the summer.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
