    I have no idea. He's too inconsistent.
    Ramsey, Sanchez, Elneny should all be above Theo in the penalty takers list. (as well as Cazorla, Giroud, Wellback, Ozil)

    Walcott doesn't like pens so purposely missed. He then followed it up with a goal to make up for it :biggrin:

    Chambers needs to stop with the cross field passes. Just keep it simple, you're doing well

    Surprised Koscielny, Ozil and Giroud are not even in the squad. I know they only came to training a few days ago but still.

    Think Iwobi in 2-3 years is going to be an absolute beast.

    He looks really good, strong, direct and got an eye for a good pass.

    Underserved sucker punch there but I'm happy with our performance. Side-note - what's worse, Moreno's man bun or his 1st half performance?!

    debatable free kick, but you have to say that was an absolute belter from Coutinho

    We've been the better team first half and deserved to go in leading I thought, a shame to give away a free kick (didn't think it was a free kick personally) but Coutinho did well to score it.

    That's a cracking free kick. Not saving those. Thought it was a bit soft but I'm not going to complain. We've been the better side. Keep up the intensity, make smart subs, don't make silly errors playing out the back and we should still be able to edge this.

    Lovren and Moreno look like real liabilities. We should be putting everything on top of them in the 2nd half.

    I'm surprised at how well we've played, and Liverpool haven't really threatened us that much, which is why it's incredibly frustrating to be going into the second half honours even. The free-kick was a worldie to be fair, but Liverpool are really fortunate to be going into the second half at 1-1. We need to be targeting Moreno more because he's on a yellow, already given away a penalty and has looked positionally suspect all game.

    I think Iwobi needs to provide more defensive cover for Monreal because he's getting doubled-up on and the young winger isn't always tracking back to offer support, as good going forward as he's been. I'd consider taking Coquelin off because he's on a yellow. Bring Xhaka on who can tackle just as well, but has a better passing range.

    Overall, we've been decent. Chambers (bar that one stupid pass) and Holding have looked good together.

    I just hope Coutinho's equaliser doesn't take the wind out of our sails because we were in the ascendancy for pretty much the whole half.

    I imagine Can will come on for Wijnaldum to give Liverpool more physicality and protect Moreno.

    Really bad time to concede.

    Liverpool will be better in the second half.

    Will they though? They offered very little in the first half and Coutinho got them out of jail.

    I cant understand why some fans prefer Ramsey to Cazorla.

    He makes way too many mistakes.
