Liverpool v Arsenal - Match Thread

[Mystic]

What VVD and Trent just did was fucking insulting to the rest of the footballing world.

The progress of the half proved my point, in spite of wum whining. Up until they scored, we played like the Arsenal video analysts must have predicted we'd play - too slow and too predictable. Yes we had plenty of the ball but we didn't do enough with it. Once we scored we upped the pace, dared to be more inventive and it paid off well. Christ knows why anyone would think the former was the same as the latter.

Arsenal look over-coached to me, right down to that three defenders in the box routine at goal kicks, which looks like something you'd do to impress the coaching badge panel. They're still waiting for the play to break down and then bomb off on the counter attack, like the horrible bastard child of Wenger and George Graham they've become, so we need to keep pressing them and show the same wit and invention that got us back into the game.

Behave will you. Neville, Carragher and Keane were blowing smoke up our arses.

Would like a goal, Arsenal showing a bit more life and I don't like it.

 

[SummerOnions]

I think Jones for Gini will swing the game for us

The bird that crashed into my window also showed a bit of life. It isnt going anywhere.

I think Wijnaldum has been poor. That would be a good change.

He's not dead, he's stunned.

 

[Mystic]

Hows that a free kick Gary? Super tackle by Fabinho on Willian.

 

[MomoWASright]

Fuck knows what happened to Willian then. Fabs tackled him and he just stayed down.

 

[acejmk]

Jota needs 10 mins minimum tonight

 

[darkstarexodus]

Offside anyways but Alisson stands tall.

 

[MomoWASright]

Shit rule to keep the flag down but gets a save for my fantasy team keeper.

 

[SummerOnions]

This is whyFabinho can't go on a mazy run cos he's also the one to stop the counter. Lucky Lacqzette decided to be shit

 

[SummerOnions]

Also Holding is actually a pretty good CB

 

[Mystic]

Love a Virgil shot.

 

[Holle]

Shit rule to keep the flag down but gets a save for my fantasy team keeper.

Did I miss something? Why has the linesman to keep the flag down?

 

[MomoWASright]

Solid strike by van Dijk just straight at the keeper.

 

[darkstarexodus]

Again Alisson stands tall.

 

[MomoWASright]

Did I miss something? Why has the linesman to keep the flag down?

To add to the excitement and get VAR to overrule it

 

[Shay_K]

We really need another goal to kill this game

 

[Mystic]

Trent left him miles on there, good save Alisson.

 

[MomoWASright]

We’ve had a poor 2 minutes.

 

[darkstarexodus]

With how much control we've had I kinda forgot we are only up by one. Let's put this to bed, please.

 

[The Nomad]

We definitely need a third. Mane looking most likely.

 

[Modo]

Fucking hell...what a chance

 

[MomoWASright]

Great pass and move there. So close.

 

[keniget]

We need to find a way to turn out dominance into goals because I fear they will get at least one more good chance.

 

[Mystic]

The fact Mane could do that spin and shot is ridiculous.

 

[Farkmaster]

Arsenal have a different shape now and we aren't reacting. There should be space down their flanks and between the lines now, but we need to sharpen up.

Good lord that was almost pretty.

The space is there.

 

[Markeh]

Seemed like Mane rotated the wrong way?
