Pre- and In-Match - Arsenal v Liverpool - EPL - Sunday Oct 9 @ 16:30 GMT @ Emirates

Hendo did the right thing and covered Martinelli so …

The problem is that it’s the same goal over and over again. When that’s happening week in week out, it’s not the players fault anymore.

Been defending Trent all season, but he’s really testing me now

The entire decision making around that setpiece made zero sense

We can’t read the game at all in defense. Even if we do, we are a yard or so behind in the execution. God knows what’s changed this much that we can’t just not concede no matter who we play. And about bloody time we start being 1-0 down every game, unnecessary makes us do the hard work the entire fcking game. So pissed off right now.

Not what Klopp meant when he said we need to defend the shit out of everyone…

Yeah the right side is in need of something…a change, an overhaul, something.
Mo, Hendo and Trent are targeted by every team.

Fabinho must come on to help either for Hendo or in addition to.

Terrible start and terrible finish to the half. Defensively so poor. Refereeing is atrocious. We should have had a penalty and that’s ignoring a number of fouls not awarded. That said we should be doing a lot better. Nowhere near good enough.

What’s the excuse for not giving a penalty.

Load of rubbish, our CB’s were nowhere to be seen :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Someone needs to foul martenelli and maybe mark Sakho at back post? You know, basics.

City must be wanking theirselves silly knowing they are playing against this crap next week.

Honestly I’d be pissed off with that defending in the under-14s I coach. It’s just the basics. Don’t gamble. Keep the shape. We were well positioned in defence until he took the head staggers

I was going to say how well we’ve played since Klopp had words with Hendo on the touchline when Trent was down injured. We really controlled the game in the second half of the half.

But then …. Why did Trent vacate the middle and open it up for Arsenal’s forwards? Yeah, Southgate is right. Trent makes too many poor defensive decisions.

Anyway, we can still win this. Or at least not lose.

We need that second goal quick. The longer it goes on, we’re gonna get hit on the break a few times.

One of those stupid games where we do all the play, but get caught out on the only occasions the opposition acutally do something.

And to top it off, Saka is the one who scores before the break, after the whole half where he is doing a Rivaldo to get Tsimi sent off.

Time for Fabinho to play RB. TAA should take this time off to clear his head.

It actually began with Tsimikas inexplicably wandering upfield

I really hope we go for it to win in this second half. Draws are not longer good enough, even if we are not considering title but top 4 itself.

The only way subbing in Elliot is legit is if it’s a double change along with Gomez.

No-one knows…no explanation…
P’raps its just f**k it, its LFC , its no pen.
