Arsenal -v- Liverpool, 19.45 SS2

Frisbee

Apparently the report from the bench was blurred vision. But I didn't see him taking a heavy knock to the head or chest or anything.

Maybe you were right and he is stoned...

Plenty of time to change all that.

Skrtel is on top form tonight. Wish Kyrgiakos wasn't suspended now.

Harsh yellow, nicely done Eboue.

Frisbee

Just me or did Gerrard just fall over there when Clichy got booked?

That_Guy

Fantastic acting by Eboue.

He'll be cast as Dying man 999 in the new Die Hard film.

Yup, looked like he stood on the ball and fell to me

I have not seen it, I would hazard a guess though that's it's not just you.

Got that impression also

Insua can't even take a throw.

Eboue evens things out though with some pathetic playacting.

Yes he was caught, but no need to go down like a sack of hammers.

That_Guy

Oh crap. 2 more mins of this awful first half.

What a game!

Looked to me like Clichy took his heels, had absolutely no doubts about it actually.

LOL at Bendtner jumping up to take the ball down on his chest and nearly hitting him in the nuts lol.

He could well have, only seen one quick replay.

Not a great first half although it livened up slightly the last 15 minutes.
We're trying the killer ball waaaaay too often. Fabregas seems to think he has to do everything himself, trying 25 yard passes when the ball outside is on.

Jazzy

this is very yawn


reira > rodriguez by lots & lots

OPENROAD

If I see that o'gara ad again, oh and theat big switch ad :mad:

Spiritoftheseventies

not much to report really. Wow we really miss torres.

OPENROAD

Think Liverpool more than happy to play for the draw, that said they look very strong at the back.


Arsenal really need to step it up in the second half.

A Primal Nut

Yeah, the two worst players on the pitch are the two strikers who are replacing Torres and Van Persie.

tok9

what a surprisingly boring half... i've nothing else to say

leninbenjamin

Bit of a non event in the end. Arsenal seem to have learned their lessons, playing a bit more direct and conservatively. Liverpool seem to be trying to do what Chelsea did, defend deep and counter, but there's very little on. They've still had a wee bit of success out on the wings but crap in the box (just like Arsenal lol).

Fabregas has been a bit frustrating all right. He's choosing the more difficult option all too often. I really would hate to see him develop into another one of these 'hollywood ball' players. Do the simple thing, Cesc!

The highlight of the first half tbh was me finally getting a work stream going in the first 20 mins

Ah who says you're predictable?

That_Guy

Rather close from Lucas.

Glico Man

Great run from Lucas and was unlucky not to hit the target

noodler

OOh would have loved him to score that - closer than Bentdner anyway.

IvySlayer

Who gave Vermaelean the black eye?

Especially as I said to Fink that he would win the game for us...that would have been magic

From last game had it at the start of the Match

Eboue just got Eboue'd there.

I'm forever saying it to my mate whenever he comes over to watch Liverpool. He doesn't rate Lucas at all and I always tell him that he'll score the most important goal of Liverpool's season.

IvySlayer

What a tackle by Gallas.

Ohh Rosicky messed up there....

Frisbee

Malouda.

Christ this is a poor game. Arsenal's passing is far too loose and we're committing way too many men forward and leaving gaps at the back. Same old story really.

That_Guy

Great tackle by Gallas.

Rosicky what are you doing man?

OPENROAD

Brilliant for Gallas, world class stuff.

Glico Man

fcuk me what a tackle

citytillidie

Oh Ngog

K-9

Good man Reina. Liverpool playing decent stuff now.

noodler

N'Gog, really really poor there. Playing for the foul rather than taking the shot.

Awful play. Had an age.

Frisbee

That is why we should give him a two year contract Arsene!

Awful touch by Rosicky.

That_Guy

Carragher off. Might have a chance now Frisbee.

Glico Man

Oh dear... Degan







On in defense!!

Redzer7

Great last ditch tackle from Gallas there.
Rosicky wtf?

That_Guy

Bendtner!! Good lord.

Finally. IT'S ALIVE!!!

Glico Man

Things have suddenly livened up

citytillidie

Liverpool need to settle back down again

noodler

Get Maxi off the pitch right now.

Acting the absolute pansey the last 10 minutes - giving away possession in stupid areas.

Glico Man

Good ol' Stevie....Still can't take a corner


Last weekends must have been a once off
