We did not create anything, corners more than poor guess with Thiago out and Keïta at the AFCON no creativity from midfield.
BTW, we are playing against 10 men.

And Salah and Mane.
I love Robbo but his delivery all season has been shite. He can’t get it past the first man. No creativity from our midfield at all. Need Curtis or the Ox on now to give us some pace going forward.

The Red Card has worked against us. Arsenal have just parked the bus. At this point I’m really appreciating what Salah and Mané bring to the team.
I’d be looking at swapping Minamino out pretty soon. I don’t think he’s been offering us anything. Also swap Milner for someone a bit more nimble.
Plenty of subs allowed, so need to use them properly to take advantage of Arses tiring with 10 men after 70 mins.
If they were playing while we were against 11 we’d have scored a couple.
Against ten they become every bit as frustrating as the rest of the team.
The 4 2 4 that arsenal started with gave us so much freedom to exploit, the current two banks sat deep and narrow are just painful to play against

Early goal second half please.
HT 0-0:
Oh dear… this first half was cut into two halves. The first one was a really intriguing game and we looked like we’d make short work of them over the ninety minutes. Arsenal looked nervous and completely overwhelmed, it seemed only a matter of time before the 1-0 would come for us. On the other hand, they had also some dangerous moments on counters, so it was good to watch.
Then the red card, Arsenal regrouping at the back by putting a center back in for an attacker… since then, it has been a horrible borefest, and you get the feeling that this can go on for another three hours and we won’t get a shot on target, never mind score a goal. Yes, 90 % possession for us, but totally fruitless.
That’s when we could use a big lump like Divock. Our three small forwards lack space and time to play their game, and our midfield isn’t creative enough anymore, given the new circumstances.
Klopp needs to make changes imo, or this is in danger of ending up in a comfortable 0-0, or even possibly Arsenal nicking a goal. On the other hand, if our lads can stretch the opposition as much as possible, playing with ten men might hopefully tire them down, and then our forwards might get their chances. Hopefully they’ll take them, fingers crossed!

Neco, Kostas and Ox on please Kloppo
Game’s made for Ox and Curtis this one instead of Milly and probably even Taki. Just fcking shoot at Ramsdale, he’ll slip those trying to make a heroic save and we’ll create few chances for sure…
I’ll take any win at the moment. Arsenal will play exactly the same way in the 2nd half.
If nothing works let Milly put a hard tackle in front of Arteta to piss him off… That tactic worked like a charm last time

Does that mean another red Card for them 
They will get 10 men behind the ball for every attack, so we’re not gonna pass the ball in. A few shots from 18 yards might cause some chaos. The possibility of a rebound…
There’s only one Granit Xhakaaaa
Kelleher on for Milly.
Ali up front as a target man. Let’s go Klopp
