Match Thread : Liverpool v Arsenal

[HLOGI]

How was that not a penalty….. how did Trent miss that chance….. and more worrying how are we going to score when Salah goes on his hols…. without Salah we look toothless up front especially with no Jota available

Draw is an ok result, however the problem result was last week, 3 points against Utd and 1 against Arsenal becomes perfect 2 home games, now it looks like an opportunity missed…

The penalty. That is where/why we must hear the refs dialogue. In rugby whether you agree with the decision or not, you csn hear and understand the deliberation. In the rugby world cup final there were 4 incidents and it was all scrutinized mentioning 3 or 4 things and clear explanation as to why there is or wasn't mitigation etc.

What is the conversation. What is this check complete. We need to hear. Arm in s natural/unbatural position. Silhouette made bigger or not. Strikes body first or not. The ref talking it through. English refs are too self absorbed in their way and are being allowed to get away with it.

Anyway ESL it is FUCK refereeing like that again today

Agree on the Endo consensus. He looks our most solid midfielder.
We are still short in this department though. We need some X factor in there as a permanent fixture. Trent has it when he's around there but he's not a midfielder and gets caught out.
Szobo is concerning, were his early performances just a flash in the pan? I hope not but he's been poor for a couple of months easily.
Mo going away worries me massively because who the fuck steps up? Maybe Jota when he's fit. Outside of that it's hard to see where the goals come from.

Yep - I should have known it would be Jurgen to blame for Gravenberch looking like Skippy.

Manager made changes that should have worked. The fact is Gravenberch was a mess you can’t afford when protecting Gomez at LB.

Tsimikas Broken Collar bone folks …. FFS.. Squad stretched to the max and not even Christmas.

Fair play to this group if they get 80+ pts this season it would be ahead of schedule. So many changes and to be in a title challenge they have exceeded expectations. You could see with Arsenal today they had the feeling of a project that is maturing or nearing completion. Pity they are dealing with 115 Charges FC so they might end up with nothing despite all the effort.

We must just enjoy our season. If late March/April we in with a shout well then it will be fantastic. Main goal has to be top 4 from here on. That would be an snaking season for this young group. Anything more will be bonus.

Thankfully Robertson ain't far from starting

Arsenal are a good year ahead of us and we really should have won that today, with a number of key players missing.

All in all, decent performance and not the worst result. I think we would all have taken 2nd place and one point off the top at Christmas before the season started
