Liverpool v Arsenal (a) Caraboa Cup Semi Final 1st Leg

[BigChief]

I'm dumbfounded that Tsimikas can't get a game but Gordon and kelleher do. Of all the backup players, he is the strongest to come in regardless of how good or bad Robbo might be playing.

You mean the injury ravaged, Covid affected squad...... Party on the bench is the only exclusion from their strongest 11

It will only make it sweeter when we beat them, they’ll come at us......won’t get away with 10 behind the ball like at Anfield

there were a few tounges in cheek there.

Yeah, call it what it is, disgraceful from Arsenal - that's an incentive to do 'em.

[Paul12]

Covid my arse.

Sounds painfull.

[danperkins]

Wouldn't say I'm the most confident about this game.

[Kenneth]

I think we’ll do alright. Expecting a win.

It's a full strength team with those exceptions. Kelleher plays because this is his competition (Alisson only played 1st leg because Klopp wanted him to get sharp after missing league game). Gordon has come in for Ox presumably because the front three of Jota, Firmino and Minamino didn't work in the first leg.

Can someone check on Kenneth? I think his account has been hacked.

[danperkins]

Matip and Robbo both lucky there, sloppy stuff nearly punished. Save that

[spud_gun]

Young keV had that all the way there

[Venton]

We've looked **** so far, no control of the game at all.

Great save from the FK.

Nervous opening 8 mins, looking all over the shop… hopefully we settle into a bit of rhythm shortly. Like school kids chasing a number 5 football…

[danperkins]

Trent seems to be getting targeted

Everything going down their left. Definite ploy.

Matip has the ball in but it's ruled out for offside
