Should probably not trust the 7-11 security cameras quite so much
This seems to sum up Liverpool's weak point this season. Another early blitz but they didn't put their chances away this time, Skrtel did something dumb again, now they're behind.

Sanogo is not very good at kicking the ball is he

He is definitely rough, but he has been aggressive and looking to get a shot off. His work rate has been great and he has more pace than Giroud. Think a goal would settle him down.

very poor first half. the only positive is that sturridge didn't take both of his chances.

and we scored a goal.

Liverpool been the better team in the end, but failed to craft any clear chances after the Sturridge ones early on. Arsenal defended much better from then on, forcing all the attacks to go through Flanno and Cissokho who are useless going forward. Saw some people recently saying Cissokho is doing enough to earn a move, hopefully this reminds them how awful he truly is.

Speaking of awful, Webb is having a shocker. No surprises there though, I guess.

And well done to Howard Webb, bar Podolski and Monreal all his yellows have been correct.
 
We've been shite since the second Sturridge chance. Few points:

-Allen is utter shite when there's an Arsenal player within 3 yards of him, which is always. Like he's incapable of both keeping the ball and looking for his options at the same time
-Podolski's non-booking was ludicrous, as was that non-corner decision. One of our's is going to be sent off
-Koscielny has the measure of Suarez today
-I don't understand why Flanagan thinks a booking and a dangerous free kick is preferable to having us defend a routine cross from out wide. Stupid tackle to make, and cost us the goal (with a phase or two in between)

totally agree. he's been decent so far, a little sloppy but I think we can chalk that up to spending six months out more than anything at this point

Howard Webb with the "you can't touch a copper" reaction when Sterling touched him. England's "best"' referee and once again everyone is talking about him as he is the centre of attention.

Would be a nice second half if we didn't actually notice him.
 
Fuck off Webb you shithouse. Seriously there's hardly been anything to referee in this half of football and he still shows just how much of a OOT Manc twat he is. He's such a terrible referee. Why didn't he go back and book Podolski? Why didn't he book Sanogo for punching Agger in the face? WHY didn't he send of Monreal for almost snapping Allen's ankle? (OK that one was either way but still) What is wrong with him?

Pretty meh half otherwise. Sturridge missed two big chances and Arsenal got a lucky break when the ball bounced to Chambermaid or whatever his name is. I really want to see Suarez in the centre more in the second half. Maybe sub Coutinho for Teixeira too.
