Pre Match: Arsenal (H), 29/12

[moron]

Yep, & if I were their manager coming into this, I'd know full well that their defence is going to concede, so my only tactic would be to try to get as many chances as possible & go bombing out to get the early goal.

Most teams try that cliched 'survive the first half an hour', but that doesn't work anymore, even our fucking fans don't fall for it & just sit waiting for us to wear them into submission instead of getting all antsy about us not scoring.

Whether he'll have the balls to do that, & run the risk of a humiliating loss should we take advantage of the gaps left at the back, who knows, but if they tried it I wouldn't be at all surprised.

I think that is the only option he has; and given our experience with him in the second half of the Europa Cup - he probably will do just that. I just have this feeling our front guys against a depleted Arsenal defence will have sufficient time and space to actually make every chance they have count. I don't think they will screw the chances up in this game.

I’d love a good old fashioned pummeling of Arsenal please.

 

[Frogfish]

No way, I'd much prefer he played. He's runs about 5 metres a game.

Yet his stats show him amongst the top ground coverers at Arsenal. Another urban myth that he's lazy methinks. Ozil out is big, he is superb at creating chances for Auba and Laca.

 

[darkstarexodus]

Dropping points. Guaranteed.

 

[Woland]

Even if we get beat by Arsenal and City we'll be top of the league. JUST REPEAT THAT IN YOUR HEAD

I'd go all out to fuck them in the bum. That involves Shaq and his massive wang destroying them. Keita shouldn't be anywhere near the first team right now

 

[gene hughes]

Ozil runs a lot in matches.

Seem to remember reading that they have one of the worst records of any team in the league for the first 45 mins, they do most of their best work in the 2nd half. So chances of them storming out of the blocks trying to blow us away seem slim. Emery is like the anti Klopp, he starts slowly and makes several tactical switches in a game until he finds one that gives them control where Klopp tends to stick with his initial gameplan til at least 65 mins. The way to beat them is score early and then strangle the life out of the game in midfield.

I didn't need an alarm clock this morning, as my tubes were twitching like billy-o.

Sadly a humbling is coming our way.

I woke up doubled up in pain and I've just swallowed a load of laxatives so inevitably it'll kick in the moment I get on a train in an hour.

Gonna be shitting it like arsenal will be later

No, DB has already predicted we will be second to Spurs by then ...

 

[Insignificance]

These games tends to be lively and full of goals. Normally more for us but there has been some draws as well. 4-4 and 3-3 spring to mind...

 

[tombrown]

We don't do x-3 or x-4 anymore

 

[keniget]

Sadly a humbling is coming our way.

Yup...

 

[Dreambeliever]

Arsenal 8-1 to win.

Woland must be all over this

 

[Dreambeliever]

Great news, on form he’s a game winner and has had some v good performances against us in recent seasons.

Not at Anfield he hasn’t. I was hoping he’d start.

He’s a passenger away to us

I haven't got a ticket. It's unbelievable stuff

Norwegians all over town I assume. You probably hear more Norwegian than Scouse around the town today.

At the gig I went to the other week there were two bitters in front of me at the bar. Had about twenty minutes wait for a fucking beer so got to listen to them a lot.

They both said that losing the derby had destroyed their team's confidence & the fans confidence as well! I was well pleased.

It's seriously killed them. I love it.

First defeat of the season here. Best we can hope for is a draw.

A draw? That would be utopia

 

[Bradley]

Nervous about this one, still fairly confident. They might score 1 or 2; but we can score 3 or 4 if required.

 

[Shay_K]

Team news, no supprise in the back 4 but Shaq Hendo and Kieta start , with Mo up front.

He is gonna start with those 3 in midfield ? Fuck that is a pure attack minded ? No way.

 

[Nir.Barak]

Risky midfield trio
