Topic: LC: Arsenal 0 vs 2 Liverpool (0-2) Jota 19’ 78’

[Fordy]

Great win

[Jshooters]

that was easy. Arsenal discipline problems are mad. !4 reds under arteta. if I could back 14 for us its kendo in the coutinhoo game in 2014. Mad

[MNAA]

We were absolutely brilliant … once we have doused their early adrenaline driven fire

Ben White for £50M. Aresenal should have bought Nat Phillips instead …

Fabinho and Jota the pick of the bunch but that was an outstanding all around display

Same far to long since we've been to Anfield South, far to long. Cup Finals are a great childhood memory for me.

Same here. The first I'm old enough to remember vividly was when we won the League Cup in Wembley in 1995 as I was there with my Dad. A memory I'll never forget. And I remember where I was at every cup we've lifted since. Really buzzing for this.

Brilliant performance, so controlled.

We're on our way to Anfield South again. Finish the job.

Great stuff, mine is Kenny and that Chip, i was only a nipper but remember my dad he since passed picking me up and shouting like a gobshite, great memory

[Kennys from heaven]

Superb and fully deserved win, was that.

Matip looked off for the first time this season but we all have those days, but everyone on that pitch was superb this evening.

We're on the march with Jurgen's army
We're all going to Wembley!!
And we'll really shake 'em up, when we win the League Cup AGAIN
'Cos Liverpool are the greatest football team.

Let's get this in the cabinet again and see what else can go with it... Be good to go outright most winners again.

[blamski]

Glad we won. Glad we could put on a decent attacking display without S+M. Glad we have a final to look forward too.

Tell you what I noticed though, having not payed that much attention to Arsenal recently - that Martinelli is a hell of a player. He has that lovely combination of skill, imagination and aggression, and I definitely wouldn't mind him rocking up at Anfield one of these days.

[Sarge]

I feel that some of the younger fans (not having a go) do not get the feeling of that Wembley Final because for us 'older' lads its still set solid in our minds and maybe it is because football was not on every night of the week like it is now or maybe the cups just meant more back then. These Cups for me are the bread and butter of domestic football and they put us on our pearch, that is for sure.

Yes League titles and old bigears are fantastic and always will but the cups are special too, well for me they certainly are.

[stockdam]

He was probably okay until Everton got inside him.

Everton Wicks?

We played tonight's opponents there in August 2020.

Shit! Wow, just had to check, they really did pay £50M for him.

In a Final?

£100 million for White and Ramsdale

[Agree with this sentiment purely on the fact that when us oldies followed the Redmen Wembley was our perch down south ]

He became England’s darling after they shut us out with a ten man defence last week

[Ghost Town]

Isn’t Ben White supposed to be a silky ball playing center half, did not look very impressive to me, kept aimlessly hoofing it.

You've been chatting with Fordy haven't you?

[SamLad]

They had a little spell right at the start for about 15 mins, hit the bar with a free kick.

Kelleher tipped that on to the bar.  excellent save.

[Sarge]

Charity Shield

Ahh yes of course.

[Red_Mist]

Kelleher tipped that on to the bar.  excellent save.

He did. It was.

Faintest of touches, so might’ve hit the bar anyway. Still, got to go down as a great save.

[1892tillforever]

Arsenal looked utterly gassed at 60 minutes. They offered nothing once we went 1-0 up. Was a question of whether we could put it away to prevent the risk of an undeserved equaliser. Our defence was noticeably very tight tonight and gave nothing away. Kelleher is proving a worthy understudy.

It is #4 on the cup priority list but damn I'm looking forward to the final 

[Red_Mist]

What the fuck was that commentator on Quest on about?! Liked saying “finest of margins”. Said he thought Jota was off and was amazed when it wasn’t. He was CLEARLY onside, Colonel Blink.

[So Howard Philips]

Blimey Misty, showing your age there.

[disgraced cake]

The first of, hopefully, three cup finals this season (If we remove the 'every game is a cup final' label  )

What a performance. Not a great Arsenal side but things were looking good for them this time last week. Thought we were outstanding, actually.

[newterp]

Was henderson subbed with a view to Sunday’s game?

[Sarge]

No it was tatics.

[Crosby Nick]

Was henderson subbed with a view to Sunday’s game?

Quite liked that sub. Milner as a finisher and replacing Hendo so still left Jones and Fab out there. It’s when they play together that sometimes things can go wrong as they can both roam quite wide.

was a good sub, like for like, captain for captain

great win, biggest surprise and concern tonight was the analysis by Redknapp and Merson, i was shocked at how insightful and intelligent it was.

[Red_Mist]

Blimey Misty, showing your age there.

Oh yeah, I suppose so! Thanks for pointing that out Howard mate

[SamLad]

at least he didn't add "have you been? HAVE YOU BEEN?"

[Dougle]

Absolutely schooled them. Men (and Gordan) versus boys.

[Ste08]

Brilliant performance from the lads, completely outplayed them.  Good to get a journey to Wembley and hopefully we can finish the job off.

Jota, Trent and the whole midfield all excellent today.

[keyop]

Great game and performance.

Fabinhno, Jota, Trent, and Jones all excellent and Kelleher was solid all night.

The quadruple is still on 

[redmark]

Glad we won. Glad we could put on a decent attacking display without S+M. Glad we have a final to look forward too.

Tell you what I noticed though, having not payed that much attention to Arsenal recently - that Martinelli is a hell of a player. He has that lovely combination of skill, imagination and aggression, and I definitely wouldn't mind him rocking up at Anfield one of these days.

I'd take Odegaard first. Virtually every passing move was through him.

We were very good. As others have said, fourth priority but nice to be in the final.

[kesey]

There's always something about knocking these out the cup.

[Eeyore]

Quite liked that sub. Milner as a finisher and replacing Hendo so still left Jones and Fab out there. It’s when they play together that sometimes things can go wrong as they can both roam quite wide.

I think we wanted to shore up the right-hand side because Martinelli was looking to get at Trent. So bringing Milner and then Neco on made sense.

[Schmidt]

What the fuck was that commentator on Quest on about?! Liked saying “finest of margins”. Said he thought Jota was off and was amazed when it wasn’t. He was CLEARLY onside, Colonel Blink.

VAR went out of their way to find him offside, the line they drew for him was practically from his elbow and he was still on. Not sure how someone can think he's off there.
