Arsenal (A) Match Thread

Good to see Enrique back, even if it is on the bench.

totally forgot about him..

[Shaggy]

Whenever I think of Carragher against Arsenal, I can't help but recall him getting put on his arse by Henry

Haha same - and Carra lobbing that coin at Highbury

I think it is clear as Barrett indicated earlier there is an issue between Skrtel and Rodgers, which is shame.

Is it clear?

Or has he been dropped for having a howler against a park league player?

Ask Barrett.

That said why did he start that game to begin with and not Carra.

[Chazza]

I like listening to Sturridge.

Seems very focused and hungry.

Do you have the Barrett quote to hand?

[dom9]

I did see this earlier which suggests the opposite:

James Pearce says no falling out between #Skrtel and #Rodgers but no doubt the gaffer not happy with recent performances

[MrMichael]

Worry about both Wisdom and Carra..

Carra, not at all. He's been excellent in the games he's played recently and has forgotten more about defending than most of our players will ever know.

Wisdom, yeah, with you a bit there but with Enrique and Kelly out we've not got many options.

Not sure why Barrett would necessarily be an authority on this. Regardless, when Skrtel isn't on top form he is prone to some serious lapses... guess I'm biased because I don't hugely rate him, but I can totally see why Rodgers has decided we need more leadership & solidity at the back in Carra. If he's concerned with Skrtel's recent performances then changing this is exactly the right thing to do.

Read his article that Shaggy posted in BR thread (I think) 2 days ago.

I'm just glad Allen isn't starting, he's been very poor recently

Liverpool skipper Steven Gerrard is the only midfielder/forward to play every minute of every Premier League game this season. #MrReliable

That's mighty impressive bearing in mind his injury woes over the last couple of years

[PTP]

Come on Liverpool

Bit of fight and bottle would be nice, win would be utopia

****ing hell - I don't go into that car crash of a thread anymore. It grows at about 15 pages of knee jerk rashness per hour. It's not good for the health to go in there.

Nobody is undroppable, it's not exactly scandal of the century.

Cautious excitement for the match, we're likely to play very well for large parts, but we're fragile at the back. Reckon luck will be the decider.
