Post Match: Liverpool v Arsenal (EPL 9/4/23 4.30pm)

I take that as sarcasm.

His time wasting got a card. He even went down for a pre-planned fake injury.

Would rather City win it.

Cannot understand how anybody can hold that view.

They’re cheats, pure and simple.

I must have missed the football family willing us to beat City to a league title over the last few years.

Missed it as had family round for dinner, sounded like a decent game though

Was reacting to his post-match interview. Seems a humble enough fellow.

Should really be Englands #1 and thats inspite of Pickfords showing yesterday.

By a million miles. Clearly England’s best keeper.

Can’t think of a Mom. Second half they were all contenders. Seems a bit of Argy bargy woke them up. S

Can we play the Gunners every week… What a cracking match. Terrible first quarter of the game from the boys, so lethargic, no sense of purpose in the attacks, Anfield was quiet, then came the bust up between TAA and Xhaha. I felt that really fired up the boys and gave them confidence and urge to push on. This team still has it, they just need something to ignite that passion and swagger back into their system.
Defensively we were still very vulnerable, but got better as we retained the ball more and pushed more of the play in Arsenal’s half. Yes, TAA and Robo should’ve defended better, but up against Martinelli and Saka, it would’ve been difficult to the best of defenders.
Midfield was poor at the beginning but got better as the games wore on. Hendo pressed well with intensity but lack the pace to closed down opponents quickly. Fab did well to disrupt Arsenal, but he needs to play with that fire under his belly every match week to be useful. Jones did really well, really impress with him today, he was all over the place pressing and joining attacks.
Mo, should take a break from PK duties, I think missing today’s PK would really bug him from the spot now. Someone needs to step up and take it from now till the end of the season.
Bobby save our ass again, man what a player and legend he is.
I think Top 4 is pipe dream now, but I want to see the boys to finish strong and bring that sense of swagger and unity back into the team for a platform to launch our campaign for next season.

Try cougars.com. That might give you a few ideas.

Comes highly recommended by @SBYM

Hendo was all at sea in the first 30 minutes until someone told him to occupy the opposing LB and allow Trent to bomb forward. And kudos to him, he did that well.

Let’s go one further, and actually play Hendo at right back and Trent in Midfield. If we’re going to have Trent in Midfield and Trent having to drop in to cover, just play the lad in midfield and let him do his thing.

[RedArmada]

That’s the best team in the league? 60 minutes of proper Liverpool football and they are counting their lucky stars they escaped with a point.

It’s a crying shame how short we’ve sold ourselves this season.

I don’t really care. It’s nothing to do with me, but it does boil my piss that we’ve had five years of genuine greatness, and we’ve one league title to show for it. Arsenal’s first decent (and that’s all they are) season and they have both us and City have blips. Lucky cunts. Let’s have another team be robbed of a title by these bastards. Maybe then the league will do something about it.

Bit of a harsh assessment imo, there’s a very good chance they end with 90+ points this season. “Decent“ teams don’t achieve that feat.

[mattyhurst]

Said we could win it.

Spirited after the bollocks half an hour.

Disappointing we couldn’t win but not too disheartened. Again demonstrated we can outperform the teams higher in the league and also demonstrated the desire not to shut off after being 2-0 down.

[Limiescouse]

@Mascot

He didn’t touch him. That Lino should find that’s him done at this level.

Not only did Robbo not instigate it, the lino walked directly towards him. If he felt any concern for himself that would justify that action as self defense, dont keep walking straight towards him. Its the most indefensible piece of officiating I have ever seen.

[Worgan]

Salah went down easy in that Ibou chance aftermath, but a few minutes before when he stretched for the ball which went over the bar, he should’ve done a Kane for an easy penalty (with Tierney both hands pulling him back - it obviously prevented him getting a clean contact).

[aldredsp]

Somehow part of the post got chopped. Second half could have been all of them.

[Rambler]

Fantastic game….loved the passion of both sides…. Real football.

But bizarre that we are mid table when we can play like that…

[Worgan]

They will get their version of the story straight. It will sound stupid, and it will stretch the logic limit to still be (stupidly) plausible.

[redalways]

Was about to ask why that wasn’t a penalty.

Didn’t look like he went down easy, more like he was dragged down by a defender who didn’t care about playing the ball…

But bizarre that we are mid table when we can play like that…

This sums it up. How can the team that blitzed United and had the league leaders on the rack for an hour today be where we are in the table.

The mind boggles.
