Match Day Thread PL: Arsenal vs Liverpool

I'll believe it when I see it.

 

As most have pointed out, we need 3 mids in this game. It's crucial.

Unfortunately, we're not well stocked in this area (cheers Rodgers!). Henderson and Allen most likely to be out injured leaving Can, Milner and Lucas.

Whilst Lucas has looked horrific recently, I would consider using him as the DM with Can and Milner ahead.

Lallana out injured apparently so I expect Firmino to come in. Would like Ibe to start because I get the sense that we'll be playing on the counter in this game and we need pace. Without Ibe, Sturridge, Markovic - we have very little speed from our attackers (apart from our full backs but Gomez will not be advancing).

 

Where's the 'elite talent' that is Markovic this season like?

 

Very happy if that is true but I sincerely doubt it

 

Every player must learn to be emergency goal keeper (exception catching the ball with their hands). When down to ten
men and all substitutes are used, can be in goal also.

 

Ask @Jimmy Squarefoot

 

We don't want to blow too many minds early doors, so we're keeping him on ice for the title run in.

 

What? You've cryogenically frozen the ****er?

 

You've seen him play, thought that was obvious.

 

Ask Rodgers.

 

True. He played like someone had stolen his brain and replaced it with that of a Terrier who chased tennis balls in the park

 

He's being prepared to peak later in the season

 

In the stiffs then......

Gotcha

 

Holiday over.. back to you miserable lot!
I'll take a point and get out of town!
We've not been great so far this season, we play like we did against Bournemouth and Arsenal will have a field day!
I'd make a couple of changes.. if Hendo isn't fit, bring in Can.. make him sit in front of the back four..
If he's up to speed now, bring in Firmino for Lalalalalalana
Or, if he wants to go defensive, bring in Lucas for Ibe as well...
If are to get anything out of this game, everyone needs to be playing 8/10 and Benteke needs to bully both the CBs..
Hope we don't go long ball route here, we'll give away possession and they'll do serious damage if they have the lions share of the ball!

 

well thats cheered up my monday morning

 

It did me an all

 

you can get to ****

and take those aviators of your lab

 

Sorry... I'm still in early return from holiday denial mode... I've not even turned off my out of office notification...
This is all a nightmare, I'll wake up soon and still be on holiday!

 

Thought it might
Despite the loss, thought you boys did OK against the class of the league yesterday...

 

We have more chance winning the lottery than winning tonight.. would be a huge result for us.

Rodgers never let in less than 2 hear.. we drew 2-2 in 2012/13.... that was the only result that was decent.

I'd take that right now.

 

It's ok, he won't be playing tonight.
