Liverpool vs Arsenal (H) Match Thread - Week 17 - Barclays Premier League

[Doc_Piptorious]

Sickener of a goal to concede, but enough was shown in the first half to suggest we can go on to win this one.

[Leyton388]

****ing crap from a set piece again. Their first chance at goal and they score. ****ing joke Skrtel.

[Robbie-9-Fowler]

That's a horrible way to end the half.

After that performance we go in dejected, at 1-0 we're flying. 0-0 we'd be disappointed not to be leading but still tails up but now I'm not sure what we'll see in the 2nd half.

Hard to take because we've been brilliant and they've been ****.

Looked away as soon as it went in, who was at fault, Skrtel? That was my first impression.

[alonso14]

We play pretty football but we can't defend. What an absolute joke. Skrtel the hardest looking pansy ever in the history of the world.

[kemm1]

Debuchy surely fouled Skrtl? He had his arms around him.

Skrtel lost him for a split second, that gave him the leverage.

[Chris]

Bit nervous now, we've been incredible but ive lost count of the number of times we absolutely destroy these at Anfield and somehow dont win. But our fault for picking one of the worst centre backs in the league, hopefully he can make up for it at the other end because thats about all he's good at.

On a better note, Markovic is great, can see why Benfica fans say he's a number 10, he's played about 10 stunning passes.

[danperkins]

Have to see the replay on that goal but initially looked like Skrtel just lost Debuchy & Jones looked very unconvincing.

[baitman]

Giroud's hair is stupid

and there it is.

[ChesterDave]

That's all on Skrtel

Of course it is. Because its cool to blame Skrtel.

The fact it should have been dealt with at the first attempt is a fact we shall ignore because it means we can blame Skrtel 100%.

Yes, Skrtel should have dealt with it, but ALL of Skrtel? bollocks

[danperkins]

Sterlign has had a quiet enough game. He looks like he has the beating on Arsenal CB's when he gets the ball but isn't really getting much of it. Coutinho has been magic & Markovic been good too. IMO Henderson is wasted in that role, purely there as a work horse, miss his bursting runs into opposition box.

[G]

Kolo and Sakho jumped into each other too. Skrtel didn't jump at all.

[vlahka]

Total Skrtel at fault. The headed ball was lobbed perfectly that Jones had no chance of getting it. I doubt any keeper would have. Excellent goal from him. *******.

[Fosterbloke]

We shouldn't have conceded the free kick in the first place, Flamini should be off and Giroyd's hair

[SB]

I'm not sure Jones was at fault there, was all Skrtel.

The deflection off the back of Skrtels attempt of a header draws it away from Jones, he had to alter the way he was diving.

my take too.

[kemm1]

Of course it is. Because its cool to blame Skrtel.

The fact it should have been dealt with at the first attempt is a fact we shall ignore because it means we can blame Skrtel 100%.

Yes it is, he lost his man after the initial header. Nothing wrong with disagreeing, why you so emotional?
