First leg was 10 behind the wall affair.

Will Arsenal be able to field a team?

Time will tell.

I think so.

0 underway at the emirates conference centre

2 early corner for Martinelli. Good defending by TAA

Cleared well, but there’s another one.

3 great header by Matip, but Arsenal get the second ball and we scramble it away.

TepidT2O · « **Reply #7 on:** January 20, 2022, 07:50:29 pm »

4 free kick right on the edge of the box to Arsenal

Gordon lying on the floor behind the wall. Poor lad!

Off the bar and cleared. Saved I think

10 All Arsenal right now, we can’t get in the game.

Arsenal exerting early pressure - Liverpool equal to challenge so far.

They're trying to replicate what they did against City

jillcwhomever · « **Reply #10 on:** January 20, 2022, 07:57:03 pm »

We have such little pace at the moment, and too many of our cross field balls are not accurate enough at the moment.

TepidT2O · « **Reply #11 on:** January 20, 2022, 07:58:30 pm »

12 corner to the reds.

A good move forwards. Need to impose ourselves more on midfield though.

it’s headed back across goal by Fabinho and Matip sticks it away at the back post, but he’s offside.

TepidT2O · « **Reply #12 on:** January 20, 2022, 08:00:16 pm »

Jones and Henderson just aren’t in the game. They can’t get the ball and lose it when they do.

I don't think any of our midfielders have started yet. Even Fab is getting beaten to balls so far, we just look slower all round.

TepidT2O · « **Reply #14 on:** January 20, 2022, 08:04:27 pm »

19 0-1 Jota!

The reds break, an outrageous flick by Bobby on half way, Jota cuts inside and past three and shoots home. A terrible shot, so bad the keeper had no idea where it was going

Rush 82 · « **Reply #15 on:** January 20, 2022, 08:05:01 pm »

Goddam! As that unfolded I thought 'this is bloody slick'

23

Henderson and Jones need to do far more, use the ball better, assert themselves. Gordon is spending most of his time covering TAA, that’s not his job, get up front!

Over to Jill……

Rush 82 · « **Reply #18 on:** January 20, 2022, 08:08:46 pm »

that was an outrageous goal - from Trent to Bobby who flicked it on the middle of the pitch and then Jota just ran at and across before scuffing it in and it trickled in slow motion

jillcwhomever · « **Reply #19 on:** January 20, 2022, 08:11:23 pm »

24 A free kick for Liverpool after a foul on Bobby. It comes to nothing as Arsenal clear the ball.

jillcwhomever · « **Reply #20 on:** January 20, 2022, 08:13:33 pm »

27 A swift attack by Arsenal and Fab helps out Van Dijk and we clear.

Still, ooor defendignnto start with.

Where is Henderson?

jillcwhomever · « **Reply #22 on:** January 20, 2022, 08:15:12 pm »

29 A nice combination there between Robbo and Jota down the left, but Jota's cross is too harsh and goes across the goal.

brilliant tackle - get that even slightly wrong and it's a penalty for Arsenal.

He doesn't seem to be moving well at all at the moment.

jillcwhomever · « **Reply #25 on:** January 20, 2022, 08:17:11 pm »

31 We are very careless with our passing, Matip can't get to the ball quick enough and Saka runs off with the ball which ends up with a corner to Arsenal. We clear upfield.

jillcwhomever · « **Reply #26 on:** January 20, 2022, 08:19:08 pm »

32 It's not working in midfield. Jones pushes the ball forward but its not accurate enough and then confounded by Henderson not able to get there.

Rush 82 · « **Reply #27 on:** January 20, 2022, 08:19:29 pm »

Joel's made a couple of uncharacteristic errors....

jillcwhomever · « **Reply #28 on:** January 20, 2022, 08:21:30 pm »

34 Now it's Arsenal's turn to find it hard to get the ball away. We had a lot of possession in there putting a lot of pressure on the Arsenal goal, but just unable to take advantage. Arsenal get the ball away and break, but Kelleher sees the danger and nicely intercepts and passes the ball down field. Nicely done.

jillcwhomever · « **Reply #29 on:** January 20, 2022, 08:24:09 pm »

37 We are pressing quite high at the moment with the affect that Arsenal are forced to launch a ball down field but it goes straight out for a goal kick to us.

jillcwhomever · « **Reply #30 on:** January 20, 2022, 08:26:25 pm »

40 We are working really hard at the moment, hunting in twos and threes which is forcing Arsenal to either pass back or launch it long, we are controlling the game well at the moment.

jillcwhomever · « **Reply #31 on:** January 20, 2022, 08:28:34 pm »

42 The game's pace has dropped as we approach half time. We are prepared to allow Arsenal the ball, as they are not creating much with it.

jillcwhomever · « **Reply #32 on:** January 20, 2022, 08:29:58 pm »

44 Lacezette is booked for leaving his foot in on Curtis Jones.

jillcwhomever · « **Reply #33 on:** January 20, 2022, 08:30:46 pm »

45+1 Into added on time.

Bobby doesn't really do outrageous flicks, all flicks are one to him, no?

They're just flicks...

Is right

46 We get a free kick for a foul on Jota. Robbo takes it but Arsenal clear hack it down field but we clear also. Ref blows whistle. 0-1 to Liverpool.

jillcwhomever · « **Reply #36 on:** January 20, 2022, 08:47:40 pm »

Looks like Konate is coming on.

TepidT2O · « **Reply #37 on:** January 20, 2022, 08:47:56 pm »

45 Konate replaces Matip at half time. I suspect that was pre planned as we’ve done it quite a bit before in-the cup.

TepidT2O · « **Reply #38 on:** January 20, 2022, 08:51:47 pm »

48 Konate with a firm ball to Gordon, he takes it on the half turn and his through ball is just cut out form Jota

Ball over the top to LaCazette who is one on one but shoots over. Might have been offside from that but it was very close.

TepidT2O · « **Reply #39 on:** January 20, 2022, 08:54:15 pm »

51 wow wow wow Jota absolutely roasts Ben White, gets it the by line, cuts it back and Gordon fires over…

What a chance
