Arsenal v Liverpool Match Thread

[Lee]

Let's get Maxi and Suarez on asap.

Aquilani would ****ing run the show today if he were playing.

[danperkins]

I disagree. He helped a lot defensively and looked very decent when attacking.

He's not the one I would take off. I'd replace Carroll.

IMO he has had a mare thus far but no i defo wouldn't take him off.

[BobTheCharmer]

Jaysus the slightest bit of criticism or question asked, and you're labelled as a moaner ffs

but why two games into the season do you need to criticise? it's like people expect instant brilliance. we are a slow work in progress. it'll be 10 games in before we hit our stride. if you can't accept that then there is no point.

[Vermilion]

Still a half left, but i really feel this game was/is a great chance to send out a message to our rivals, that we've spent well and will take advantage of all our chances, and Arsenal today is definately a chance for an away win against one of our direct rivals.

[Gaz]

Charlie Adam is taking this Xabi Alonso role a bit to seriously

[davegrady1]

Bit of a waste from kickoff

[Fredo]

We've been the better side, but apart from Downing our midfield has got bossed. Kuyt's either brilliant or terrible, unfortunately todays he's been terrible.

You're taking the piss right? He's been one of our best players today. We haven't been playing badly, we just need to stop punting long balls to Carroll (Carragher's the culprit here).

[Mostar]

Lucas got skinned about four times this first half and won about three tackles.

You're overreacting. Without him they would have the lead by now.

[kingfunk]

Your no Alonso, Charlie.

So no criticism is allowed until the 10th game of the season?

[McDermotX]

Mr.T screams **** off at linesman........nothing happens

[Vermilion]

Well if we severely tire in the second half and end up losing, criticism will surely follow.

[kingfunk]

Take off Henderson bring on Suarez behind Carroll, Kuyt right and Downing left, simples.

[DeanoUK]

Jesus, looking awful at the moment.

[BobTheCharmer]

thats right.

it's just some people are moaning for the sake of it. being unrealistic in their expectations imo. it's not like its an easy place to get a result, ever.
