Arsenal v Liverpool Match Thread

[Oncy]

Great punch from Mignolet there

 

[DHSC]

What the fuck is going on?
Sloppy as hell.

 

[Hansern]

We need to wake the fuck up

 

[refugee]

How the fuck have we managed to start this season with Moreno as our only left back.

 

[HC]

The wijnaldum doesn't look fit

 

[Fabio]

We're a bit shit here

 

[Bradley]

What the fuck happened to pressing? We pressed Barca out of existence, yet we're letting these bellends stroll round with it.

Smokescreen, Arsenal won't have been expecting this!

 

[FoxForceFive]

I was much happier about our prospects this season 20 minutes ago.

 

[Modo]

I think I'd have given Stewart a go. Rewarded his pre season performances.

I understand why klopp doesn't want to take that risk first game of the season though.

Forgot about Stewart, but if it stays the same I think either Lallana or Hendo will get subbed.

 

[Fabio]

Hang on... Firminos hair?

 

[Markeh]

Klavan is a bit too safe

 

[FoxForceFive]

Mane makes something happen. I do like this lad.

 

[Fabio]

Mane looks excellent so far. Moreno looks thick as shit

 

[Fabio]

Klavan is a bit too safe

That's not a bad thing for a cb

 

[FoxForceFive]

That's not a bad thing for a cb

Was just about to say that. The keeper & CB's can be safe & boring all day long. No excitement is fine.

 

[Markeh]

That's not a bad thing for a cb

Yea it's not bad thing, just the last pass he played back to the keeper drew a groan

 

[FoxForceFive]

Away from home, less than half an hour into the first game of the season against a top side, playing a ball out of the defence when you can't see an obvious option isn't worth it.

 

[Markeh]

two shite passes to Mane from Clyne

 

[Squiggles]

We look shit

Firmino is the worst of the bunch. Moreno not far off. Crap passing, no pressing. Only Mane looks a threat. Still baffled Origi hasn't started.

 

[Modo]

Why isn't Henderson tackling? Fucking make an attempt to win the ball. Jeez he's our DM.

 

[Markeh]

Away from home, less than half an hour into the first game of the season against a top side, playing a ball out of the defence when you can't see an obvious option isn't worth it.

there was an obvious and easy ball though, but I agree if he isn't feeling it yet then don't bother

 

[willby]

Clynes final pass just a bit short, and not for the first time today.

 

[FoxForceFive]

I can understand the creative players being off the pace. They're usually the last to settle in the first few weeks of the season.

I can't forgive the lack of pressing though, it's ridiculous.

 

[LeTallecWiz]

Quick thoughts -

Clyne as usual is crap in the final 1/3 - but I'd rather it's that way than like Moreno, who's shite.
Gini looks tentative, as does Mane.
Klavan looks solid.

 

[keniget]

Midfield is non-existent and attackers bar Mane can't get into the game. I don't understand why Origi didn't start.

 

[Markeh]

unlucky there

 

[FoxForceFive]

Moreno wins a free kick. He is good for something then.

Good move leading up to that.

 

[Markeh]

what, hows that a yellow card?

 

[KopRed]

Firmino, heavy footed, unsure passing, poor control.

Get a grip.

 

[FoxForceFive]

Midfield is non-existent and attackers bar Mane can't get into the game. I don't understand why Origi didn't start.

It's odd, you want as much raw pace as possible away from home, even more so against a team that can keep the ball as well as this lot. Add in the lack of a real dm meaning we'll have little joy building plays up through the centre & Origi should be a no brainer.
