[PL] Arsenal (H): Build Up

[frank the tank]

lets smash these cockney cunts

[BigChief]

Things looking much healthier (pardon the pun). We have a gameplan that always crushes Arsenal's. And we now seem to have the players in the right positions to execute that gameplan (so no Benteke!).

I reckon most of them can stay fit for the Utd game too so this could be a good 4-6 pointer half-week. With others ready to step in (Storage too maybe?)

[RichC]

Whilst your optimism is great to see, we really don't crush them in fact we've won 2 of the last 10 games against Arsenal, Wednesday night is going to be tough and if we can take anything from the game I'll be bloody happy.

I'll never know how Arsenal got anything out of that Decmber 2014 game! Total domination by Liverpool then another stupid error.

[Fierce]

Going off the press conference quotes I'd go with -
Mingolet
Clyne Toure Sakho Moreno
Allen Milner Can
Hendo Lallana
Firmino

I'd have Lucas in for Milner, but otherwise that's what I'd look at given the players we have available

With the Arse's fragility against a big get stuck in style number 9 is it too much to ask that Benteke actually plays like one for a change?

Klopp: "Our options are now more than they were a few days ago. Hopefully we can build a good squad [for Arsenal]."
"We had Sakho in training and he looked good. We had Millie [Milner] in training and he looked good. Hendo in training, very good."

Klopp: "We want to press the opponent and so they have to play long balls. If they play long balls, you need people with good aerial play."

"We looked for a good header [of the ball] because that’s what we need." “We looked for Premier League experience because in this short time, you need that experience."

Klopp: "Then you have Sakho with a little knee issue – he can play, but it’s not perfect."
"Then we have the problem with Lovren – it’s only a little muscle injury. I think he’ll be available in one to one-and-a-half weeks."

The situation is Martin Skrtel is not available for around about the next four-and-a-half weeks, five weeks."

Sakho somehow combining defending with dancing.

[ronanm]

A point ahead of Watford, behind palace and 5 points off West ham. What a shambles of a season.

[ChesterDave]

And only 6 points off the Champions League places if you want a less melodramatic outlook
