Nah... He wasn't the last man because of Agger, and it certainly wasn't a clear goal-scoring opportunity.

Oh if Hart makes a mistake it's 'uncharacteristic' even though he's been full of them especially lately
Wtf Milner you aren't that good stop doing that!

Thunderous strike from the Jammy Dodger.
Yep. Had a few nervy moments in the second half but for an hour he was head and shoulders above everyone else on the pitch. I'd be interested in seeing how many touches/passes he had.

I don't feel anything really about our loss
Think its a combination of expecting defeat, fair refereeing, gladness to avoid a battering and satisfaction with our play in the last 35 minutes or so
Man Utd were there for the beating though with the right lineup and sufficient preparation for their pressing

Problem was that second half. He fell away a bit. Evra gets it for me.
Lol were people really blaming De Gea for Liverpool's goal? It was a great save to make, he was at full stretch. Sturridge did well to clean up but Rafael could have been the man there if he wasn't dozing.

What happened to Arteta by the way? Didn't realise he was injured.
City are really going for it now.

I thought the Emirates was meant to be a funeral parlor? Fantastic atmosphere.
I'm actually impressed haha!

Arsenal missing Arteta here.
Yeah, commentators on my stream were saying he has to push it around the post in that situation. Fucking nonsense.

I was expecting that.
I like that Silva is at least shooting today -- he's been far too gun shy this season. Shoulda passed to Barry there though.
Tough angle.. Garcia puts a thunderous head on the ball though that's for sure.

I still think De Gea should have done better. Maybe I'm forgetting but he wasn't at maximum stretch on the save.
Carrick is most at fault anyway IMO, gave the ball away on the edge of our box, caught rest of the team off guard.

One of those ones where its better to get a fingertip to it than a palm. At that stretch though, there's no way you can control your dive and arm-stretch to do that

Dortmund's midfield bossing it.
First half we should (not in a deserve sense, but with regard to assumed competence) have put in about 2 or 3 goals. I think Welberg will be a fine striker in time, and he is often useful in possession and pressure, but he deserves to be called wasteful. Not just chances he creates for himself, but occasions on which he is put clean through by others: he bungles. Hope he gets a lot more time, but not necessarily league starts.
Carrick and ClevGod were pretty damn good for about two thirds of the game. Kagawa made the best of being stuck out wide, could have snatched a goal.
Second half, we sank back under Liverpool pressure. We risked the whole game by playing daft passes around our area, without clear or urgent ideas or intent about moving the ball forward and away. It's all very well to give the ball to someone else, but you've got to have a plan or a suggestion to go with it, or you're just adding to the panic.
Sturridge helps a lot. Downing is a eunuch; if Rodgers can find a buyer, he should fuck him off. He needs to rest Sterling - who was properly anonymous after a couple of very mildly threatening runs early on - but he has no use for Downing. Allen will rediscover his balls.
Skrtel and Agger were ok here and there, but badly rattled at times. Chicha might well have given them hell.
Wants to be RVP.
I think he took a couple of decent ones earlier in the season now his sort of taken over freekick duties. Would rather have Cazorla doing them myself.

Cleverly was at fault there imo, passed it blind to Carrick, who didn't have time to assess his options or threats. He simply couldn't have known that Gerrard was steaming in, and Cleverly didn't need to make the pass at all, he had a lot of space

Been taking seemingly all of them for about a month now. Imagine it's a part of the ploy to get him to sign a contract extension.
All of the ones he's taken have been shit, btw.
