My heart...

 

[bud]

god, why can't arsenal defend?

POR QUE

POR QUE

 

[Tegris]

Opposition goalkeeper has been their best player, and we hit the post.

Yep.

 

[Arnie]

Fuck football.

ASSASSIN

 

[offshore]

Clearly Arsenal's defence could do with the steadying hand of Carl Jenkinson.

 

[Broder Salsa]

But it's still hilarious.

Exactly. All kinds of terrible but it's good entertainment.

 

[LegoArmo]

Suicidal defending from Arsenal is making Liverpool look good.

POR QUE

The manager does not bother with it in training.

 

[vall03]

so close... oh well what a great first half! Szczesny saves ftw!

 

[Vivalaraza]

Should have scored. If he's getting a foot on it from there he needs to hit the target.

 

[Plasma]

We're lucky to go in with a draw at half time, we've hardly had any possession and apart from the goal no real meaningful attacks.

 

[Salazar]

Is Oxlade-Chamberlain on the bench ?

 

[Arnie]

Is Oxlade-Chamberlain on the bench ?

Yes.

 

[GorillaJu]

Which is exactly why you'll walk away with a good result. We play like this at home. This is what we do.

 

[snoopen]

Is Oxlade-Chamberlain on the bench ?

Yes. And Gervinho.

 

[bud]

Is Oxlade-Chamberlain on the bench ?

yes and so is gervinho.

however, i don't understand why benayoun, on the other hand, is on the pitch.

 

[BlindCommunication]

Sloppy stuff in this first half but Liverpool should be up by a couple goals. Arsenal is surprisingly poor after last week, their midfield is just not there.

 

[LabouredSubterfuge]

Poor Van Persie and Suarez wallowing in a sea of mediocrity.

This games feels like a contest of who will fuck up more.

 

[Meus Renaissance]

I'd be tempted to bring on Diaby at half time our midfield just can't keep hold of the ball. Such a gamble though because his probably not fit or could just get injured again.

I'd do with at least another player into the midfield because I can't remember the last time our midfield made any advances towards the Liverpool half, its been characteristic of us all season and its frankly unacceptable and tiring; we're playing like a lower league team away from home

 

[sohois]

yes and so is gervinho.

however, i don't understand why benayoun, on the other hand, is on the pitch.

Maybe he figured he'd be hyped up against his former club. Plus perhaps he is rested from not playing in the international break(?)

 

[avaya]

Last week's result was an anomaly. This game is a return to normality.

 

[Baconsaurus Rex]

Anybody have a link for a livestream of the game?

 

[Sveitadurgur]

I continue to be flabergasted by the atrocious finishing that Liverpool has shown this season. All these chances and they have to rely on an own goal, is there no one in the team that can poke the damn ball in with regularity?

 

[Scum]

Just go to R. Madrid already, van Persie. You deserve a better midfield.

 

[GorillaJu]

It is truly flabergasting. It's not like Kuyt and Suàrez have had trouble being in scoring positions. They've been there. They just can't finish. It's unbelievable.

 

[Salazar]

Yes. And Gervinho.

Wenger is a mentalist if he doesn't give at least one of them a full half.

 

[Mastadon]

It's killing my soul.

 

[Gareth Bale]

I love how Redknapp always pretends to know the exact moment when there is contact.

"Just.... wait for it.... just.... THERE!"

 

[PaulLFC]

Can we get any more unlucky in the second half?

 

[cartoon_soldier]

Just woke up, Arsenal look ripe for the taking here.

 

[Arnie]

As much as I think Henderson has talent and will become a really good player, if he's going to play as reserved as this I'd rather have Maxi on. Maxi is probably the best finisher we have in the team, and he can play an incisive pass. He links well with Suarez too.

 

[Scum]

Just woke up, Arsenal look ripe for the taking here.

So, a win for van Persie, then.

 

[Hixx]

I love how Redknapp always pretends to know the exact moment when there is contact.

"Just.... wait for it.... just.... THERE!"

He tries to hide his bias when Liverpool play but it always shines through. He's an awful pundit.

 

[GorillaJu]

Bellamy is the best finisher in the team. And I know it's crazy talk to you all but Carroll is a better finisher than Maxi.

But I wouldn't mind a 70' appearance by the Argentine.

I hate Jamie Redknapp. So biased to Liverpool lol.

 

[Salazar]

Nah, we want an Arsenal win.

 

[Kyoufu]

No we don't. We want a draw

Don't agree with the bolded.

Bellamy is probably the best finisher though, you're right. Shame our good finishers are on the bench and we have Kuyt flapping around the goal.

 

[Mastadon]

Maxi has been pretty garbage when given chances this season. He's a good poacher but again, he's a bit of a passenger.

 

[Clegg]

Jamie Redknapp is such a bellend.

I enjoyed it when G.Neville made him look like a tool a few weeks ago.

Hilarious first half by the way.

Liverpool are doing all they can to not score and Arsenal are doing all they can to let Liverpool score. FFS Arsenal have been doing Liverpools job for them.

 

[confuziz]

Liverpool just needs to buy a striker from the Bundesliga or Primera Divison that has at least 15-20 goals behind his name at the end of the season..

 

[Kyoufu]

Wait Diaby still has a career at Arsenal after that 4-4 game at Newcastle?

 

[offshore]

This doesn't look good.

 

[Fry]

What happened there?

 

[Salazar]

Well, that won't do it alone. It will be helpful, though.

Radamel Falcao, Roberto Soldado, Llorentre, Cavani... There are names, but we won't buy them.

I know the joke this year was our ridiculous over-abundance of midfielders but I'd like a Javi Martinez in the team.

 

[Bo-Locks]

Maybe this is what it takes for Wenger to play the Ox. A massive head injury to an anonymous midfielder.

 

[Kyoufu]

Suarez dived? Why am I not surprised?

 

[Splatt]

Why would you need Javi when you have Lucas?

 

[offshore]

On the one hand, this looks awful for Arteta.

On the other, it means the Ox can come on.

Oh okay, Diaby works I guess.
