Liverpool - Arsenal: Post Match Thread

[DannyMan2006]

I didn't think our defence was too bad today, I may be missing something here?

The only big defensive error I thought was Aly leaving Chamberlain for the first goal.

I think Flanno was poor for the second, he had Podolski and then let him get a run on him and failed to cover obvious pass. But we were stretched as pressing for a goal.

[Fredo]

Thought Allen had a good game myself. Our midfield was excellent tactically and technically.

[Leyton388]

**** Arsenal anyway the small time gimps. We absolutely battered them again today and Howard Webb made sure we didn't win. I'll tell you what if he'd have reffed the game at Anfield last week I seriously doubt we'd have won the game at all let alone 5-1

[JohnDoe]

Saying Charlie Adam is better than Joe Allen is the most ludicrous **** I've ever seen anyone post. The bloke is a fat championship player.

Well, at least he scores goals, provides assists and manages to contribute to his team.

It's a good day in the office for Joe Allen when he manages to go through a game without ****ing up his sideways and backward passes.

Both of them are useless defensively so it's a write off.

[Rigadon]

Some of the nuances of tactics are lost on some people. If its not like a Daily Star headline in the face, some people are lost, confused and prone to posting utter ****e.

but it's nevertheless embarrassing to read (especially from so called Liverpool fans )

[Fredo]

Come on John Doe. Ffs. Adam better than Allen? **** me, you've lost it mate.

[Daniel 7]

You're right, I'm convinced. Adam was nothing but an utter success for Liverpool and Brendan ****ing Rodgers was stupid to get rid of him.

[danperkins]

Adam is way more productive than Allen. Two completely different players. Don't rate either.

[Sarb]

I think some on here are as clueless about our defence as our defending has been at times this season. Skrtel has made some errors but in general he has had to cover for some absolutely non existent defending from his partner or full backs.

Thought we looked a lot better defensively today in general. Agger with the ball makes such a difference too. Looks so comfortable.

[Leyton388]

The only way Charlie Adam should have got anywhere near the Anfield turf was on a stadium tour. Him at our club is nothing more than the dark days.

[Fredo]

Adam is way more productive than Allen. Two completely different players. Don't rate either.

I haven't seen you too much in here when we've been winning. Glad you're back.

[Sarb]

Allen seems to offer nothing. Was quite pleased with his signing but think injuries hit him hard in terms of progress. Just cant see where he fits now.

Gerrard will make the sitting position his. Coutinho is brilliant and Henderson starts every time over Allen. Covers more ground, gets forward and sets up loads more attacks

[DannyMan2006]

Ian Wright, on 6-0-6 phone-in on 5 live Sport
"I feel for Liverpool. They attacked, and they are frightening going forward. With more clinical finishing they would have cleaned up this game."

And I think we can all agree with that. Arsenal had their moments, as you'd expect from a top team at home, but overall we were better. My only gripe is that when Gibbs came on to double up on Sterling that cut our supply. At that point we needed a change to keep pressure on. Top level games are a chess match. Rodgers made best moves until Wenger brought on Gibbs and cut the supply. No reaction. Rodgers has been slow to react a few times this season, but he's improving as a manager and CL, if we make it, will take him to another level once again as I feel he'll get some harsh lessons in that. But he's a man who learns and will be better for it,

[JohnDoe]

You're right, I'm convinced. Adam was nothing but an utter success for Liverpool and Brendan ****ing Rodgers was stupid to get rid of him.

Not saying it was stupid to get rid of him. I merely stated I'd rather have Adam in the squad right now as he'd be more useful to the team.

We signed a £15m replacement who is not an upgrade on him in anyway.

That can happen.

[Daniel 7]

I guess if you're into fitba players whae run around chasin the baw like a drunk after a taxi desperately grasping and wheezing to catch anyone with slight pace, give away fouls in dangerous which take your positive contributions into the negative and can belt a ball quite hard on target at a goal sometimes then yeah. Allen has none of that skillset.

And he doesn't have the biggest footballing booty in the western world.
