Liverpool v Arsenal Match Thread

So did I but the knives are out for some reason. Sakho was good for most of the game too. Moreno was frequently out of position against Campbell but was unlucky to divert it for their second.
I thought Sakho was shite. And I like him
 
I've always said that I don't really care how we play as long as we win, and that's still very true, but I do much prefer watching fast, aggressive, blood and thunder football like that, as opposed to the own label Barca-lite tippy tappy "death by football" (FUCK OFF) bollocks that Rodgers seemed to often prefer.
 
He's been playing in Scotland Tony, chances are he'll struggle to acclimatise or something.

I'm aware of that but at least he's been playing ( rather well if reports can be believed ) and will be ready. I don't know how much more I can take of Ming the mong
 
I thought Kolo did well today

Apart from Sako having one moment where he thought he was some fantastic dribbler - I thought they both did well. It is the defensive awareness of some of our other team members that is letting us down big time.

Eh? I don't think either did well at all, but Sakho was probably worse. Our defence is terrible.

Our defenders cannot take up the width of the entire goal - they did well overall, their 2nd goal was due to ball watching by Adam, and the third goal is the sort of thing that can happen to any defender when faced with a bit of skill.
 
Our midfield were terrible at tracking runners, and we were lucky we didn't pay a higher price given how many times our players were wrong side. However, we deserved the point and it was good to see Firmino in the goals and to make a comeback. Its far better going into the United game off that than it would be off a loss.
 
I'm struggling to think of a worse left sided defence in our club's history than that of Sakho and Moreno.

They're both fucking laughable.

Sakho is rubbish. A big fucking agricultural lump who seems to be one of these weird footballers that prefers being on their arse than their feet, and Moreno is your archetypal 5-a-side training ground footballer.

Toure's got an excuse. He's 74 and at one stage actually was a footballer that played in a decent side. These two cunts are pure pure shite.


Utter fucking rubbish.

I agree with Moreno. Did my head in all game. The aimless cross and runs into nowhere had me screaming in the pub, and keep in mind it's only midday over here!
 
And everyone in his right mind knew that free kick was going straight into the wall...

However I feel Sahko is better than we saw tonight, before he was injured he was commanding and playing well, so I'm willing to give him time to rediscover that form. Unless he gets injured again, then the cunt's on his own...
 
Sakho had a mare alright.

Moreno on the other hand I've more patience with. He's obviously under orders to provide attacking width and absolutely busts a gut to provide it. He's raw for sure, but in time he could develop into an excellent full-back?

Exactly - the midfield did not track properly, I just saw on MOD - leading up the first goal - Sako to a knock to the head and Ramsey just squeezed in to put the ball away - but the blame is primarily on the goalkeeper for getting beat on that side. It is really the whole team that is at fault for their defensive issues not just a couple of defenders.
 
I used to believe that myself, he's just so frustrating. Nearly always makes the wrong decision, most of his mistakes lead to goals or when he has a chance to redeem himself he skies it. Then there's always that obligatory shot from outside the box that always gets blocked. It's almost as bad as Coutinho's mandatory blaze over the bar...
 
Firmino's excellent performance and 2 goals will hopefully kickstart his season and Liverpool career.
Its also some great evidence that we shouldnt give up on a player after 5 months.
Early days but more of the same please Firmino.
 
And while I'm on my list of gripes, add this to the top of the fucking list:

- Benteke fucking continually standing at the edge of the box with his hands out, through a sea of 24 players, waiting for a pull back that's never coming has gotten me to the stage of thrusting my fucking flip flop at the cunting TV. MAKE A FUCKING RUN. TO THE 6 YARD BOX. YOU BIG FUCKING USELESS LUMP OF CUNTSHITE.

Any positives fella? I thought we went pretty much toe to toe with the Champions Elect(in my view) and would have won the game but for that numpty between the sticks. Pleasantly surprised.

That's why he (and others) are pissed. If it weren't for such awful defending, goalkeeping and another statuesque (albeit abbreviated) performance from our 32m striker, we would have fucking annihilated that bunch of effete cunts.

Should have absolutely blown them off the pitch, not be pleased to have snatched a point from Joe Pirlo going against the grain.

I wrote before that Rodgers' team was "death by football" and Klopp's is "murder by football." Today was murder-suicide.

This, however, isn't just restricted to Benteke. It's what Ings was doing so well before his injury .... don't expect a tap-in at the back post when you do get there ... get in front of the keeper, who cuts out most crosses and your defender and get to the FRONT POST.

I didn't realise there was a major time zone difference between Birkenhead and Liverpool ..... all those years working at Seaforth, no wonder it messed with my head driving back & forth through the tunnel each day.
 
I'm far from Benteke's biggest fan and I know his flaws, but he won the header for the equaliser, so in his short stint he did his job. And in fairness, at one point he was in exactly the position he should be in, unmarked, and Firmino played the ball straight to the keeper, but Benteke applauded the effort.

You can't blame the result on Benteke when he helped claw it back, save that for our hapless keeper and backline.
 
Ibe was really wasteful in 2nd Half. Getting the ball in really good positions and then invariably getting himself cornered.

Think the crowd got to him a bit and he looked like didnt want to make any mistakes. He lost the ball a few times and started overthinking everything.
Thought he was very good in the first half.

He's a young player and this sort of stuff will happen. You have to laugh at the reaction in the match thread saying he's just not any good etc.
