Official Match Thread: v Arsenal (H)

Arsenal have had more possession than us. Does this mean they get the points?

 

Rodgers will chalk this game up as a loss.

 

I know we give him a lot of stick, but credit were it is due Cissokho has a brilliant 3rd touch!

 

Were losing possession.

**** sake!

On a serious note I've noticed that in games between the top 6/7 teams, who ever dominates possession usually loses. Counter attacking is best against top teams whereas playing against lower teams you tend to dominate the ball and win.

 

he could be our new alonso needs to chip in with more goals though.

 

Yes. Away possession counts double.

 

Aye... good point. He does seem to be more Alonso than Gerrard in that role.

 

He is already successing Gerrard in that role. Gerrard is a DM now.

 

Even Owen admits it. All the big hitters have to come to Anfield #uniteddonthitbiganymore

 

Arsenal starting to dive

 

Overcoming a deficit of 4 goals in the Premiership and win has never been done. Not going to happen today either.

 

You sir, are blind!

 

arrrrggghhhh!

 

4-0 up against Arsenal and Suarez hasn't scored 1 of them.

****. Death knell.

 

Doesn't score against the big teams lol

 

Real desperation tactics now but that's all you can do when you can't get the ball.

 

Poor cross Flanokko. He's been good mostly today though,.

 

this is a game of two styles. Their slow build up/possession style and our speed of attack/counter strike style.

We were 4 - 0 up against Newcastle once and draw 4-4 so we need to concentrate on not letting them back in. Another 4 in the second half should do it.

 

I have a great article on him that I'll post at half time. One from the press, not me.
