Should have nicked that one but a point is fine. Long way to go in the season and this one won’t decide anything. Point off the top going into second half of the season. Couldn’t have asked for more than that at the start of the season.

That’s the frustration with Trent, world class footballer but always a spoon or fuck up in him. He buries that simple finish and we aren’t talking about all the other shite.

Gutted.

No idea why Jones came off. Missing him had a bigger impact than Grav’s poor performance.

Great atmosphere.

Draw seemed fair(ish) overall - they're decent.

That pen decision tho...

Dree · « **Reply #164 on:** December 23, 2023, 07:30:45 pm »

We were unlucky but that Jones sub and tactical switch made no sense. Lost the midfield and Salah got nothing out of Saliba. Meh.

garumn · « **Reply #165 on:** December 23, 2023, 07:30:47 pm »

This game was too big for Gravenberch by the looks of it. Other than that, a disappointing but not a catastrophic result. Bet that Dara O Briain lookalike bellend at Anfield Agenda wants to sell TAA now and keep Salah, the reactionary tool.

Never saw such a shit cameo as what Gravenberch played out there. Killed us singlehandedly on both ends of the pitch. Killed our momentum stone dead.

Should have kept Jones on but Klopp might be managing his minutes, he has become so important but is a little injury prone.

TSC · « **Reply #167 on:** December 23, 2023, 07:30:49 pm »

Had 3 homes against teams in and around the top. To date, 2 points out of 6. We were the better side but ultimately never tested their keeper; same as last week. Disappointing stuff.

Gods_Left_Boot · « **Reply #168 on:** December 23, 2023, 07:30:50 pm »

By far the better side. Playing 11 against 15 is not easy against anyone.

If we finish ahead of City we'll win the title, these are going to go away.

iamnant · « **Reply #172 on:** December 23, 2023, 07:31:00 pm »

Konate, Virge and Endo absolutely superb.

Grav came on and had an absolute disasterclass, Jones going off ruined our midfield as well.

The most nailed on handball penalty you'll ever see but LiVARpool apparently.

Robbed by the officials again how that was not a penalty is beyond me. Super league now with promotion and relegation we'll never get a fair shake from the officials in England.

A City fan ref and a United fan on VAR, both from Manchester. Yet the club just put up with it.

Caps4444 · « **Reply #174 on:** December 23, 2023, 07:31:02 pm »

We need to be more clinical with our final pass…..wasteful.
Should have won with the Trent chance…..hope Diaz is ok….need Jota back asap.

Mister Flip Flop · « **Reply #175 on:** December 23, 2023, 07:31:07 pm »

Gravenberch absolutely pathetic when he came on. I just can't forgive lack of effort from a player.

1-1. Good game! Unlucky we didn't get the winner on the counterattack from TAA. Wanted more but OK with a point.

Agree with that. Probably should have won but a draw is fine. Still only one defeat this season.

RyanBabel19 · « **Reply #177 on:** December 23, 2023, 07:31:09 pm »

Ref was so shit at one point Van Dijk genuinely asked him if he's been drinking

Le Westalero · « **Reply #178 on:** December 23, 2023, 07:31:19 pm »

How can somebody be happy with that point?

We absolutely dominated them in the 2nd half and game after game we cannot score from 100% chances.

We're so wasteful.

Absolutely gutted that these whiney, overrated Arsenal team gets a point.

If we don't win it, I hope, really really hope it's not Arsenal.

Btw, why does VAR everything possible to ruin our games? How wasn't that a penalty?

Thought we were poor honestly. How Trent fucks up that chance I will never know.

We are clearly not winning the title, we simply do not have enough.

Agreed. Teams with as many flaws as ours don't win titles. That's the long and short of it. 3rd will be about right.

Konate MOTM for me. Superb tonight

Closely followed by Gomez. What a performance from the big man. I'll admit I thought he was done after some of his performances last season, but apart from one shaky moment right after coming on, that was a masterclass today from him. Overall, we can take positives from this. We could and probably should have won this. Then again, we were playing one of the top teams in this league and a draw against them isn't something to moan about. The reffing was absolutely horrible it has to be said...

He’d sprinted 90 yards and it bobbled slightly, i think he was unfortunate…

Not a bad result but we could have won that.

Arsenal are overrated by the media IMO.

We were a bit sloppy at times especially Mo. We weren’t great in the final 10 minutes. Unfortunate that Trent didn’t bury his chance. Carragher making out that Saka was world class when in reality he hardly got much against Gomez.

Game could have gone either way but we really should have gone 2-1 up. A point suits both teams in a way.

In no way does shearing a point with Arsenal at home suit us.

Knight · « **Reply #185 on:** December 23, 2023, 07:31:42 pm »

I’m really not convinced we have a forward line capable of winning the league. When the forward line is the team most fully ‘refreshed’ that’s not good. But we’re in it still. Not bad for a team in transition.

Darren G · « **Reply #188 on:** December 23, 2023, 07:32:03 pm »

Toothless. Other than the goal itself, the front players were poor again. We could have won that with better quality in the final third. Gravenbech was awful and needs to stop shitting out of challenges. Conversely, I thought that Gomez was good after a dodgy start.

If nunez had hit the bar with that trent shot the world would have ended

Looking v v slack at the back now.

It was a very Nunez like finish i.e leathered it. Just a bit of composure required, totally had them outnumbered so should be walking it in.

I thought we lost our legs from about 60 but that's where you need impetus from your subs.

stockdam · « **Reply #192 on:** December 23, 2023, 07:32:37 pm »

Rice played well for them. We didn’t really have any standout players. Bring Mo into the centre was a mistake.

RyanBabel19 · « **Reply #193 on:** December 23, 2023, 07:32:41 pm »

Konate was sublime, definite MOTM. Fuck knows what they were watching giving it to Saliba

Subs didn't work today.. Arsenal the better the in the last 10 minutes..

1 point not the worst outcome today..

Trent has to score on that break away..

Still fuming about the no call by VAR on the penalty..

Anyone know why Diaz was crying on the bench?

Gili Gulu · « **Reply #195 on:** December 23, 2023, 07:32:52 pm »

Dunno what happened to Salah at half-time, but thought he was very poor second half. The legs completely went out of the team with the substitutions, we were second to absolutely everything, so ponderous and slow to react.

Gravenberch was so poor when he came on, lost almost every battle, misplaced passes, miscontrolling the ball.

The final pass and shot were so lacking in quality in our purple patch at the start of the second half, completely squandered our best spell in the game

Front players all really struggling to a man for the last few months. Should have won it really with the TAA chance.

ShrewKop · « **Reply #199 on:** December 23, 2023, 07:33:13 pm »

Should have won that, even with the penalty call aside.

On the positive side, Konate was incredible today. Endo brilliant too. We dominated 2/3rds of the game, were lacking upfront though.
