Topic: Half time: Liverpool 1-2 Arsenal

[b_joseph]

Their quickness and ball retention, compared to ours. Is drastic.

An angry game might suit us but it also might make the game too quick for our team to deal with.

[QC]

These guys are so much better than us. How so quickly

VVD is finished

[Adeemo]

We’ve had 3 great chances and they’ve had 2.

[Fitzy.]

He’s done fuck all minus the goal, can’t even kick a ball properly at times

What did the Roman’s do for us, eh?

[Samie]

Wasting Salahs best years.

Mate, not like he hasn't won everything with us at his peak. 

[Simonm1982]

Absolutely no excuse for such a pathetic start. Seconds late to everything. Van Dijk marking thin air for their second, no concentration. Robertson playing like a headless chicken.
Why can't we show fight like the last 10 mins all the time.
Only Allison can take any credit for this season

[alonsoisared]

There isnt a gulf in quality, we have played better sides than this Arsenal side. We were just fucking slow.

gunna have to disagree there. They absolutely took the piss for 40 minutes. Not sure I've seen us so comprehensively outplayed at Anfield in God knows how long.

[Gili Gulu]

Konate has to play 2 positions, due to TAA going AWOL..

I think that's tactical. It hasn't worked, and it's unsettled the whole defence

[paisley1977]

SKY we apologise for some of the language . Don't apologise for the shite Neville and co  are spouting.

[Legs]

Konate has to play 2 positions, due to TAA going AWOL..

Trent hasn’t gone AWOL someone has decided it is a good idea to have him in midfield and having to run back.

It’s bollox just go back to basics and play flat back 4

[Fromola]

Arteta is a nasty c*nt.

He played for Everton most of his career. Impossible not to be.

[LovelyCushionedHeader]

Konate has to play 2 positions, due to TAA going AWOL..

It's obviously tactical for TAA to do that. God knows why, but criticising him for it is stupid.

[shank94]

This game has a red card in it

[Bend It Like Aurelio]

Bring Thiago on for Jones and Nunez on for anyone.

Jones has been decent, has been composed for the most part. But would love to see Nunez on for Gakpo, he latter looks a bit flat today.

[the red symphony]

No one and nothing will convince me that this league is not corrupt.

[oldman]

Season's gone, who gives a fuck about red cards and suspensions. Fucking butcher them second half, give these c*nts real reasons to stay on the ground.

I like your style

[Redsnappa]

Arteta that with him from Man City (copying Mourinho tactics)

Drogba {shudder}

[Nick110581]

Not enough he’s about to have the same amount of leagues as Saka and Martinelli.

Is the trophy presentation tonight ?

[has gone odd]

Utter shambles until the goal, then got some fight back!

Would like us to not conceed in the opening 5 mins of the second and perhaps, maybe, we will get some confidence and equalise .. you never know!

[rawcusk8]

Probably never seen us play worse under Klopp than that first 40 minutes, in terms of effort there was absolutely nothing there. Still we’re somehow still in it and have matched them in terms of big chances created, they took theirs we fluffed ours. No idea what we’ll see second half

[Coolie High]

His best years ended a year and a half ago. Still a good player, but he's also failed to show up a lot this season.

He’s scored against every big team and has our best attacking performances, he’s done as well as he could and actually as good as any other attacker in the league outside of Haaland.

[BornRedSince76]

One thing is clear, these  boys aren't going into games motivated. I'm not sure what the tactical plan was because it looked a mess but I'm still not having it that all this is on the lack of investment in MF.

I’ve said it before, Klopp has lost the dressing room.   He tells them what they need to do and they don’t bother putting any effort in. Get any slackers out and give Klopp some fresh blood who will listen.

[Fruity]

bit all over the shop but showed some fight towards the end. Think Robertson has been shaky.

Surely we need the chaos of Darwin

[Coolie High]

Is the trophy presentation tonight ?

You’ve been saying they’ll bottle it all season, give up

[Jwils21]

Can’t see it happening but I’d get Nunez on through the middle to run at them second half. Jota off.

[Fromola]

Arteta's Arsenal making football unwatchable

Worse than George Graham's team.

[Vote For Pedro]

The triumphalism that carried Neville’s commentary until Salah scored was absurd.

You're brave, listening off mute. I'd love Sky to lose the rights and Neville to end up on the scrapheap. Elsewhere I'd love to punch Jesus in the chops. 3-2 redmen

[Higgins79]

What the hell has Klopp been doing on the training field all season. Seriously, the more time he has with the team the worse we get. ‘We just need to to get to the World Cup, Klopp has a second preseason to fix the problems’. We got worse. International breaks, we get worse. Out of Europe so one game a week, we get worse. We are a mess and the coaches are as much the problem as the players no more credit in the bank.

[gazzalfc]

Should be noted that their fans were impeccable during the silence before the game.

Considering the fans of the team challenging them for the title you respect them.

[skipper757]

It's just like when Arteta started handbags at Anfield last year, and we ended up scoring immediately and then won 4-0 at a stroll.

As soon as Xhaka's idiocy got the team and crowd going, I thought if we got a goal, we'd really be flying, and we have been.

The first 40 minutes were shambolic from a defensive perspective (the defending on the goals was laughable.  Where was Robbo going when Saka got the ball?).  But Arsenal were desperately throwing themselves to the ground for halftime by the end.  They have no backbone and we need to take advantage.

[dirkster]

Nunez for Jota and Thiago for Hendo second half please

[rocco]

Finally we show some fight

[Coolie High]

Curtis Jones has been good I think he’ll have a decent future here if he can stay fit, just needs to add more forward momentum to his play but good at retaining the ball strong has a good technical base to improve on.

[naYoRHa2b]

I know it's Easter but Jesus keeping coming back from the dead like he is needs sorting out.

Tierney is a joke, would pay good money to see him get decked.

[Gili Gulu]

No one and nothing will convince me that this league is not corrupt.

We've been so poor it hasn't made the slightest difference

[The Final Third]

For all the gulf in class shouts:

xG HT: Liverpool (1.60) 1-2 (1.50) Arsenal

[Adeemo]

The amount of great chances we miss, is absolutely ridiculous.

[Fromola]

Dunno if thats Robbo there getting a yellow card but he needs to focus on getting his shit together. He’s been absolutely roasted by Saka, awful stuff.

Fuck all this emotion bollocks we’ve been fucking dreadful, low quality and the crowd is literally pulling us through this game.

We're absolutely shit and will concede another few. Probably in the first minute after 5 players go bombing forward and someone loses the ball.

[Mister Flip Flop]

I can't understand why Arsenal have to be such cheating shithouses. They have the skill and talent to win games fair and square but resort to pretending to be injured to get tactical advice from the manager etc... I never remember us at our best having to pull that sort of shit.

[B0151?]

For as bad as we've been we've still had the chances and they haven't had too many
