Liverpool - Arsenal: Post Match Thread

[RichC]

Biggest concern out of that was the first half and in particular Suarez playing right midfield. We are losing something.....losing a lot in fact....with him marooned out there. He does a grand job but from the minute we moved him central today he caused mayhem.

Something has to give to get them both through the middle but I don't care what it is, we need to do it.

Massively, thought this against Fulham as well, stuck out wide he's just not as potent. Brilliant player but he causes soooooo much more through the middle.

**** off Webb you cunt.

Eto'o on Suarez at Chelsea and now this. Two absolutely blatant penalties. And yet he'll swan off to the World Cup as our 'best referee', completely unaccountable for his incompetence. Never challenged, he never has to say a single word publicly. It stinks and I hate him.

...

Webb really was awful. He was inconsistent with his bookings and the two missed penalty decisions were nothing short of embarrassing. And yet, if Brendan calls him out - it's our manager that gets a misconduct fine. How on earth is he considered the best ref in the Premiership?

A few things from me and doubt pelters to follow

Flanagan - Probably his poorest game to date, caught up field to much too often - Will improve that but needs to bust a gut and get back
Sturridge - Him and Suarez need to get a room and sort some **** out very quickly - Defo a massive difference of opinion when they step on to the pitch.
Also Sturridge should have had a least a couple today. You can see his head go down and it does affect him
Suarez - Brilliant once agin in parts, needs to sort the sturridge thing sooner rather than later
Allen - Felt for the lad, first start in ages and despite a ****e first 30 mins got a lot better, gotta remember this lad was boss whilst Stevie was out before his injury.
Agger - Rusty as ****
Couts - No protection from SG or JA in the first 40 - Class in the 2nd half though

I'll stick my neck out and say I'd rather have Charlie Adam and Jonjo Shelvey than Joe Allen.

No need to stick your neck out. Allen is ****e.

I haven't got anything against Arsenal as a club, I respect them and Wenger for the way they want to play and their ability to pull off good signings with little cash (until recently)

It's their poxy fans that I don't like, only sing when they're winning and boo every time they don't, no matter the opponent. It's embarrassing.

Deffo a pen but dont think the little flip after initial foul helped the case

[JohnDoe]

Edit, it was taken out. Probably good modding rather than an epiphany.

Yep, rightfully edited. Sorry.

Yep, rightfully edited. Sorry.

Neither did I until they tried that **** on in the summer.

The little push off the ground with the neck looked a bit forced alright, but it was clear from the reverse angle on the replay that Webb wasn't giving it before that.

Such a poor ref........ Sterling should have decked him.

[Le Chef]

Can't wait for that. Hope Bayern destroy them.

Need them to make a game of it - Longer they are in Europe the better for us

Think Brenno went with what worked at Anfield, first ten mins it did

[Leyton388]

Better finishing from Sturridge and it would have been game over within the first 10 minutes. He can't score them all though.

[Sarb]

Thought brad jones played well today. I knows its one game but looked good on crosses, good save from Ozil, distribution decent, good starting position too

[Shaggy]

As great as we are going forward we're soft as **** at the back. Just haemorrhaging goals away from home. Off the top of my head this season:

Everton 3
Arsenal 2
Arsenal 2
Chelsea 2
Man City 2
Hull 3
Fulham 2
Newcastle 2

We're giving ourselves loads to do in almost every away game. Fine when it clicks like Spurs and we batter them, but to state the obvious if we could somehow marry a reasonably solid back four with what we have going forward we'd be unstoppable.
