Liverpool vs Arsenal Match Thread

Walcott is a cracking player I think.

I disagree.

[FatTony]

Is it just me or is Reina remaining static at crosses these days? He just seems to look at the path of the incoming ball and wait for it to arrive instead of moving forward or out to meet it. Just then he waiting whilst the Gooners forwards were close to moving in and sticking the head on it.

Commentators are blaming zonal marking, but for me Reina is not commanding the area like other keepers would...great shot stopper, poor at dealing with crosses into the box

[redwien]

we're giving the ball away far too easily

Toure wins a free-kick off Aurelio near the corner flag on the other side. Crowd finding their voice, we're under pressure. They don't make the most of it though, Senderos heads over from edge of the box.

Babel comes off. Walcott done more in 5 minutes than Babel has done in the entire match.

[redwien]

Yossi for Babel.

And bollocks it was too.

babel has been anonymous I dont think xabi has been in it much either

[bigfooty]

Gerrard and Torres look to combine but Gerrard's not really picked him out yet with a good pass.

He hasn't and he's given away some sloppy balls too.

Xabi is undercover at the moment, ready to appear as if by magic to score the winner.

[bigfooty]

Man Kuyt's first touch is wank. He does really well to combine with Carra but the ball over the top comes off Kuyt and he has to stab at it wildly to keep it in play.

Yossi really cutting inside at the moment.

[Kenneth]

kuyt's control fails him again.

[bigfooty]

Lovely flick by Gerrard sets Yossi off but he doesn't make the most of it. Nando looking a bit tired.

[bigfooty]

Torres looks to be offside, no flag, he then wins a soft free-kick against Clichy.

[bigfooty]

Gerrard's free-kick, headed away by Adebayor, Aurelio back in, cleared, thundering header by Carra to intercept a ball forward.
