Liverpool v Arsenal Post-Match Thread

[yamiedo]

I think the season must look better in hindsight. There have been games when we have dominated and not got the points, such as stoke, but the story of our season is having lots of possession where it doesn't count, teams waiting for us to attack and us proving toothless when we do. Now you can say we have dominated those games, but it doesn't really mean much. Last weeks cup final was far more typical.

I'd have to look back over the matches but I'm pretty sure the amount of chances we have created is far superior to most teams in the EPL. It is our attacking play that is creating those chances and that is very positive for me. We have had games where we dominate possession but not only are we doing that but we are also creating chances. How many times have we hit the post this season? We have to be more clinical and precise in finishing them off.

I think Henderson should be playing in Adam's position alongside Gerrard with Lucas behind them when he is back. Adam just doesn't do enough and should be on the bench. Henderson looks a lot livelier in the centre.

I don't think Henderson is strong enough to play centre mid at present, he lacks enough aggression and is defensively worse than Adam.

He is best imo being used from the bench right now.

Well it's good that we're not a 1 man team anymore.

Seems to be working for Arsenal,Barca & Madrid so i wouldn't mind it

The less typical scenario is where we create very little chances and those matches have happened and they are extremely frustrating for me. I find those to be a rarity though.

Barca and Madrid are not one man teams though, they are very good collectives. Every team have a player getting more focus than others but not quite the same. Arsenal though...

Didn't see the game fully yesterday, were the chances we created as clear cut as he two Arsenal scored from?

As good as (especially Luis' and Kelly's)......but only 4 shots on target should tell its own story.

The fact is - compared to Roy's side, we can pass the ball around and create chances. Unfortunately, we are wasting them. Now yesterday was frustrating, as many games of ours have been, but not depressing. Being played off the park would be depressing, we battered them but ended up losers. That's frustrating.

When you say *fully* Cream, what did you see?

Because I know you were on here pretty much straight away, ripping our performance to shreds and saying Kuyt's performance was "poor" off the top of my head.

Please tell me you weren't throwing opinions around on a game you didn't see ...

I saw parts of the first half and pretty much all of the second whilst doing my accounts at the same time, and yeah we still lost the game that we really should have won.

[Lecter]

You think that. I think the 2 chances were very different.

I personally think you are making excuses for our inadequate midfield. Oh and you need to learn the difference between fact and opinion.

And you dont

[Lecter]

No I am not and you seem to be unable to differentiate between fact and opinion still.

So do you

[Lecter]

Not at all. We have had plenty great attacking performances. Recently hasn't been so good but in the first half of the season we had very similar attacking performances to the Arsenal one. Loads of chances and nobody putting them away. That WAS typical of us this season. What isn't typical is when we create very little and that is not often.
