Liverpool vs Arsenal Match Thread

[bigfooty]

Kuyt almost slips in Torres but Gallas has done well on the deck and gets a foot in.

Arsenal pressing us back, we've not responded tactically to them having two strikers.

[Gaz]

We're in for a nervy last 20 mins but with Bendtner around making match saving tackles we should be alright

[redwien]

we've been very poor this half

[bigfooty]

17 minutes to go, 1-1.

Good work by Kuyt and Gerrard, don't give up the loose balls and we get a corner out of it.

[Kenneth]

we've got a line of about 8 players along the edge of the box when they're building up. A bit negative for me.

Hanging on by a thread.

We've got to make sure we make these passes now, this is what we do too often these days, when we go under pressure we hoof or snatch at passes and end up losing possession, forcing more pressure on us.

[bigfooty]

Corner drops to us in the box but we can't pull the trigger, eventually comes out, lobbed back in but Almunia takes.

Poor clearance from Mascher lands us under pressure, eventually an Arsenal free-kick for a handball. Level with the box on the left.

[bigfooty]

Offside from the free-kick.

Lucas on for Xabi.

[FatTony]

Lucas to come on and score a cracker.

[Kenneth]

Another competely ****e set piece. Truely unbelievable how bad we are at corners.

[andyinswinton]

Lucas on for Alonso.

Don't think Xabi has been at his best tonight. Hopefully Lucas will solid things up in midfield.

[Shanks]

Andy Gray is a ******.

[bigfooty]

Xabi had run the most out of any of our players, a bit surprising given his style of play.

Arsenal stretch us but Hleb's final ball is a tired one out for a goal-kick.

Why has distance run suddenly become a key stat?
