Liverpool vs. Arsenal 13/12/09 (MOD NOTE: #119 and OP)

Holsten · 13-12-2009 4:26pm

Liking the team!

No Insua and no Skrtel!

Aquilani on at some point please!

MementoMori · 13-12-2009 4:28pm

Whats odds an 0-0 draw?

Looking at the Liverpool bench you'd have to say that the odds of Aquilani making an appearance at some stage have to be pretty massive.
Would be very shocked if he does make an appearances.

Very minimal. Liverpool have been leaking goals this season

And with Arshavin lurking I'm not so confident in our defence

While at the other end, Yossi, Stevie and Nando have the guile to get shots on goal. And not to forget Johnson to ping a few crosses into the box. Vermaelen is only 5'10" after all

PHB · 13-12-2009 4:37pm

I can see an Arsenal goal coming from a foul about 40 yards out on the wings, with Fabregas whipping in a nice curling ball and an Arsenal player getting a nick on it and it going in.

thats funny, i thought the match hadn't started yet!

therokerroar · 13-12-2009 4:42pm

Why no Aquallani (SP?) again for Liverpool lads? He's surely fit and ready to go by now?

If that happens I will not be impressed having stayed up til 2am on a work night.

Goals please, and plenty of them.

mike65 · 13-12-2009 4:46pm

Arsenal have not kept a clean sheet at Anfield since 1904 or something, its been a while.
46 goals between them in the last 11 meetings.

As for Aquilani why is anyone surprised, he played 60 mins this week already! Masch/Lucas to look to do what they did against Utd I imagine.

Nope - definitely not ready for 90 mins of football on the basis of the midweek game.

Started brightly and had some nice touches but by the time he was taken off around the 65 minute mark he had clearly run out of puff, and had little in the way of impact at all in the second half.

Much better to bring him on around the 60 minute mark and let me give what he has then.

Frisbee · 13-12-2009 4:49pm

Go on the Meercat.

"Drogba or Anelka - Boom! one - zero"

MementoMori · 13-12-2009 4:50pm

Ha - Cant see it being 0-0 either, just thought it's kinda funny the way pretty much everyone is convinved there will be goals in this one.

Liverpool to win this and get us going on a nice winning run hopefully.

Mikeyt086 · 13-12-2009 4:52pm

If Rafa said he didnt want to throw Aquilani in against Blackburn because they were too physical then fair enough... But why isnt he playing against Arsenal?

Bonkers.

Pathetic.

Royale with Cheese · 13-12-2009 4:58pm

Ugh, that Arsenal team just looks too narrow (Walcott aside, who's not very good) and features too many skillful players who aren't able to just bulldoze their way through a defence and smash it in the net.

Got a feeling it'll be the same old story. Arsenal have most of the possession, pass it around a lot but never really threaten.

Xavi6 · 13-12-2009 4:58pm

Right, I'm getting this in early - if this thread turns into a United/Pool circle jerk then it will be locked and no other match thread will be created.

Infractions/bans will also apply accordingly.

Cheers

HashSlinging · 13-12-2009 4:59pm

Going to be a good game either way, both need the points..

Do you not need to be up early for work in the morning

I don't see that happening. Arsenal 2 nil winners is where my money is.

ctrl-alt-delete · 13-12-2009 5:03pm

Love hearing the Liverpool fans belting that out,

No excuses with this team, here's hoping they all hold out for the full 90 mins,

looking forward to this,

Huge game for all involved

dannydiamond · 13-12-2009 5:03pm

I'd good for the soul to see Stevie and Nando take the field together.

Anfield is buzzing!

MagicMarker · 13-12-2009 5:04pm

Arsenal to win, Torres and Gerrard to come off injured.

Xavi6 · 13-12-2009 5:04pm

As much as I dislike Liverpool, there's something special about hearing 'You'll Never Walk Alone' before a game.

I look forward to the day I go see City play at Anfield.

Mikeyt086 · 13-12-2009 5:05pm

I personally think this is the type of game Aquilani was bought for.

Because i support Manchester United it is seen as provocative.

Is that not totally rediculous and over-sensitive?

They don't sell any bitter/beer in the away end

well that was the case in 2002

It may have been, but it's just come too early for him to play a full 90 minutes. I'm sure he'll be on around the hour-65 min mark

Royale with Cheese · 13-12-2009 5:08pm

Carragher at it again.

Arsenal passing extremely poor so far.

Frisbee · 13-12-2009 5:08pm

Both teams have started very brightly.

Pool looking a bit more likely to get something though.

Redzer7 · 13-12-2009 5:10pm

C'mon Arsenal.

Holsten · 13-12-2009 5:10pm

Yossi looking good!

mike65 · 13-12-2009 5:13pm

Flips sake.

Brilliant play from Liverpool. Torres should of done better.

Fuhrer · 13-12-2009 5:14pm

Ugh, awful shot

~Marky~ · 13-12-2009 5:14pm

Torres should have buried that

Frisbee · 13-12-2009 5:14pm

Would have put my house on us going 1-0 down there

Big let off

Jako8 · 13-12-2009 5:14pm

Brilliant link up.

Come on Liverpool!

mike65 · 13-12-2009 5:14pm

No peno, close

Xavi6 · 13-12-2009 5:14pm

Poor finish from Torres.

Vermaelen's fault for going wandering.

Holsten · 13-12-2009 5:14pm

Ahhhhhhhhhh, Torres should have finished that.

ctrl-alt-delete · 13-12-2009 5:14pm

Rusty from Torres, great chance.

mayordenis · 13-12-2009 5:15pm

that should be a ****ing penalty

Mr.Nice Guy · 13-12-2009 5:15pm

Thought that was a peno.

Mikeyt086 · 13-12-2009 5:15pm

Gerrard + Torres = Danger.

monkey9 · 13-12-2009 5:15pm

What is the ref at. That's a peno and if it isn't, why is he not giving a corner?? Idiotic!

kenon · 13-12-2009 5:15pm

What was Gallas thinking.

Holsten · 13-12-2009 5:15pm

And Gerrard should have blasted that... ugh.
