Gooner Boris Mellor asked posters on his Arsenal Times forum to provide the view from the Emirates ahead of tonight's Barclays Premier League clash.

How are Arsenal fans feeling about this one?

Views ranged from "Do these youngsters have the mental toughness to bounce back immediately after consecutive morale-sapping defeats?" to "Still a lot to play for, we want to finish in the top three and beating Liverpool will go some way to fulfilling that."

Arsenal weaknesses?

One reply was "We aren't your scouts - what are YOUR weaknesses?" but Arsenal's weaknesses are hardly a secret. Many posters noted breakaways and dead ball situations. Perhaps our defence leaking 30 goals is a worry, but then Liverpool have conceded 26, so it's a funny old season.

Should Wenger have done more in the January window?

Gooner Mike thought more should have been done: "Although we don't know the financial position we are in exactly, the money from the Adebayor and Toure deals should have been used to better effect. Too little too late from Wenger who claims he did in fact want to make a signing on the last half day of the transfer window."

Are you battling for first or fourth now?

Surprisingly there was a lot of agreement on this: we are fighting for first place until it is no longer possible. If that chance goes we are fighting for third.

Key battles?

Liverpool's attempts at containing Arshavin, and the battle of the central midfielders will be vital, plus Mascherano and Fabregas could be a tight contest.

Unlikely hero?

There was a long list of these including Diaby, Bendtner and Almunia.

Who do you rate on our side?

One reply was: "Kuyt, because of his engine. Like Tevez - doesn't have to be great but can throw opponents' game off by his constant pressure." Gerrard, Kuyt and Reina were all mentioned.

What can we expect from the home fans?

My favourite was: "An exact replica of Anfield." If Babel plays he can expect a few boos, well a lot actually. No doubt the usual stereotypical banter too.

You're giving the teamtalk - what you saying?

A few suggestions:

"The pressure is off, go out there and play some football, show them we deserve to be in the top three. Oh, and take the occasional shot."

"You're not fit to wear the shirt."

"Get the ball to Arshavin."

If you had to put a tenner on it?

Most fancied an Arsenal win, and one or two would have an insurance bet for a draw.
