Match Day Thread Liverpool V Arsenal (LC)

We appear to piss people off just by breathing - I suppose we must be doing something right.

 

I've set up a support group pm for the prem lads.

Not going that well tbh

 

Real pity arsenal didnt at least have to have 120mins today

They will be extra motivated now they are down to just this cup.

But Chelsea will embarrass them if we dont.

 

Depends who we're able to field - anything approaching our best team would crush them. They do insist on trying to break through the press and we just won't let them, normally. They're one of the few sides where the penny still hasn't dropped that the long ball over the top is our weakness.
If we have to play too many kids it might be a different matter, of course.

 

I dunno. Without the actual penetration I think we will just play in front.

They were ridiculous in the league game right enough. So obsessed with playing out they handed us the win.

 

It's been like that for several games, though. They try to walk it out but get pushed back to their byline until they end up with a suicide ball across the back.
It's fun to watch, but I don't know if we can execute the press so well without Mané and Mo.

I didn't see much of their game today, but I read that Tavares was just as rubbish as he was against us?

 

tavares didn't even last the half. I don't know that he was as bad as he as against us but he was on toast for their RWB but then again he was offered zero help form any arsenal team mate/ midfield/winger.

I think with jota, fimino and minamino we can press. In fairness to minime he might be bang average but he is a worker. however i just don't know who's availabel to go with them.

RB is a big question now. could be milner for all i know now but it won't be trent.
Tsimikas at LB has been locked in due to a shocking late challenge on robertson.
Its very hard know who is available to line up a stronger CM area for us.

 

Am a little concerned about this game. It’s bad enough that we have no Mane or Salah…or even Keita for a much depleted midfield….but now, we don’t have a clue who is available elsewhere and you can almost guarantee that Arsenal will be at full strength.

 

yeah but its arsenal full strength not a decent sides full strength

 

well they won't be at full strength as Partey and another player who i can't remember are at the ACON .

 

indeed, nearly the same that lost yesterday to Forest.

 

what we do know right now about arsneal

Gabriel was sent off but returns for our game.
Aubameyang seems to be sent to coventry so will be out.
Partey is gone to ACON
Eleney is gone to ACON
Pepe is gone to ACON

No news on covid so bascially. they will only be missing gabriel and partey

Ramsdale
Tomiasyu White Gabriel Teirney
Xhaka Sambi
Saka Odengaard Martinelli
Lacazette

What i noted yesterdy was martinelli gave absolutely no help to Tavares and same for teirney. smith rowe seems to be dropped/rested so he could come in for martinelli

 

Thankfully the club will have a clue about who is available so will be able to pick the team rather than what they usually do and go with the 11 that we pick on here each week

 

phew…

 

klopp has said everyone bar trent was a false positive and trent might be back by thrusday so I think we can field quite a strong teams bar salah

 

Ah, memories of my youth.

 

exactly like what yanks call getting to second base. bit of fondling up front but nothing doing

 

I dated a few girls who thought penetration was a sin but God doesn't mind a little dry humping and manual stimulation.

There's a song called "The loophole" by Garfunkel and Oates that's quite amusing and telling of Southern US girls.

 

Here we are ...

 

Much huffing, puffing, and outrage signaling in the media and comments sections about the news that most of the tests that caused the first leg to be postponed were false -positives: less recognition that the tests are carried out by independent agencies. God, how I wish Leicester's fans and first-team hadn't got up our noses so much with their Tory arselicking songs and smug-gobbed Schmeical that Klopp brought of senior players to save the tie, and thus take us to the semis of a cup competition nobody cba about.
