Not looking forward to the game at all. I think we are in for a hiding. Arsenal are in flying form and we are shocking. After the game, it will be the weekly analysis of TAA for the goals and I’m praying Milner doesn’t get a game. I haven’t been this cynical in years watching Liverpool. It’s not good.

First goal is massive,

We HAVE to score first, we have barley done that at all this season & it will give us a huge confidence boost & because its Arsenal at the same time they will think here we go again in the big games ,

We need to start well & be aggressive & in there face ,

For once I'm confident , I'm also predicting Xhaka gets sent off ,

Isn't that the whole point though the other big teams aren't missing numerous starting players constantly like we are. No one is denying these injuries affect performance on the pitch but we seem particularly "unlucky" in this regard.

There's a number of reasons

1: The effects of so many games last season

2: the most obvious we don't not replace lads who get injured constantly

SM01 · 09-10-2022 11:16am

Liverpool have been too good the last few years for that to immediately evaporate. We only have to look to last season, a few months ago, to see that.

I absolutely agree with everyone on here about a midfield refresh, along with a few personnel needing to take a look at themselves. I still feel this is a formidable team. Maybe I'll have egg on my face after saying it, but i don't fear Arsenal today.

BillyHasMates · 09-10-2022 11:16am

I hate to include luck as a factor in the modern days of sports science and analysis. Most of the injuries seem to be muscle or tissue related. It's not like they are being sustained as a result of a bad tackle in a game. It is worrying though.

tinpib · 09-10-2022 11:41am

Football's a funny old game, let's see where we are at 7pm next Sunday. Hopefully things can click and we can get 3 points today. It is more hope than anything, so many excuses and false dawns so far this season.

Agent Coulson · 09-10-2022 11:49am

Laimar who we looked at signing tore his knee ligament a month ago and is out till the end of January at the very least so even been linked to Liverpool now makes players injury prone it seems.

On top of Laimar other midfield free agents next summer include Tielmans, Aouar, Dahoud, Gundogan, Luiz & Lemar

Seen a stat there recently, Liverpool have conceded first in 9 of their last 11 Premier League games!! That's a bit mental...

Crazy signing in the first place.

Bringing in someone to bolster numbers in an injury hit midfield, who himself wasn't fit and ready to hit the ground running, was nuts. The fact he even looked unfit when he came in should have sent alarm bells ringing IMHO, and now here we are 2 months on and he's out for 2 to 3 months, which knowing our record will soon change to 4 to 6 months.

Stupid decision, you make your own luck. We had plenty of talented midfielders with patchy fitness and injury histories, without bringing in another one. A robust, hard working pro with a good injury record and ready to hit the ground running was what was required.

Expectations he could leave on a free transfer, really would love him to stay as a backup tbh

marklazarcovic · 09-10-2022 2:23pm

anyone else not at all toooo fussed at how things are? tbh,im glad of the mental break of watching us knowing we basically need to win every game to stand a chance of winning league.. its draining as a fan, 5 years of it ..the flip side is,can we get back to it next season.. think the gunners wup us today,they owe us a few hidings.

Summitatem · 09-10-2022 2:29pm

Not letting keita leave was baffling....weren't we offered money for him also iirc ?

The poor chap has proven himself incapable of stringing a run together

I gave up on Naby after the Palace 0:7 game which was 19th Dec 2020, he played well that day possibly MOTM, then got injured yet again right after. He had been given more than enough chances at that point, should definitely have been moved on summer 21 at the latest.

Maybe it's age, work and family commitments, the drama of being a Mayo fun and plenty more; but since we won the league I've been able to not get 'too' worked up over all the onfield happenings at Anfield. Granted there have been a great couple of years so didn't have too much to give out about, but I can deal with this malaise in a way I wouldn't have been able if we hadn't won the league.

Plus, City are just a ridiculous juggernaut of a well-drilled financially doped team. They'll still flop in Europe (I f*cking hope).

SlickRic · 09-10-2022 3:08pm

I understand it, but the punditry around this game is highly disrespectful to us.

More people saying we'll be hammered than saying we even have a chance.

I've a sneaky feeling we'll do them today.

Agent Coulson · 09-10-2022 3:30pm

Team, 442/4231.

I guess Thiago was at training after all just a bit camera shy!

yourdeadwright · 09-10-2022 3:32pm

I'm worried about midfield

Going as far as ex Villian gabby agbonlahor say Klopp will be sacked 😂

Fitz* · 09-10-2022 3:47pm

Tbh I'm happy that Fabinho is not starting. He's been very poor this year and deserved to be dropped.

Bobby can feel abit hard done by as he has scored goals, but his overall play is actually pretty bad. It's like the reverse of what he used to be doing a few years ago when he played great but didn't score.

Overall I'm happy with that team. It's rare! 😅

tinpib · 09-10-2022 4:05pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119721427#Comment_119721427

I have a sneaky feeling too. Kinda think we will click today, but I've been saying that since after the Fulham game!

Pepp1989 · 09-10-2022 4:19pm

Tis usually the hope that kills ya

BorneTobyWilde · 09-10-2022 4:27pm

Same again, 5 in midfield, or 2, depending on your mindset. Hopefully a positive outcome

awec · 09-10-2022 4:32pm

Brutal.

yourdeadwright · 09-10-2022 4:32pm

Ye 2 in midfield won't work

ShamoBuc · 09-10-2022 4:33pm

We concede first, as expected.

SlickRic · 09-10-2022 4:33pm

That was unforgivable from all of them.

Utopia Parkway · 09-10-2022 4:34pm

Must say that looked offside but who knows any more. Either way yet again we concede an early goal.

yourdeadwright · 09-10-2022 4:34pm

Klopps a moron,

2 in midfield means no cover for full backs our biggest weaknesses, It's school boy tactics

Pepp1989 · 09-10-2022 4:34pm

Lads it's actually comical. 3 on 1 v Trent. 1 minute on the clock.

Like wtf are they at.

Xander10 · 09-10-2022 4:35pm

Clearly onside

Trent can't defend

patsy sally · 09-10-2022 4:35pm

Dear God usual sloppy start

Luxembourgo · 09-10-2022 4:35pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119721778#Comment_119721778

Thought that as well

machiavellianme · 09-10-2022 4:35pm

Wretched start again. Let's hope our forwards are up to it today as the defence is brutal

BillyHasMates · 09-10-2022 4:35pm

Concede from first shot on target again....

SlickRic · 09-10-2022 4:35pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119721787#Comment_119721787

He was left 3 on 1.

machiavellianme · 09-10-2022 4:37pm

Diaz can't foul for toffee but did what needed to be done

Ikozma · 09-10-2022 4:37pm

What's going on lads,this is more then a blip

yourdeadwright · 09-10-2022 4:37pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119721787#Comment_119721787

Its not Trents fault,

He's constantly left on his own, Playing 2 in midfield means he has zero chance of help

DrumSteve · 09-10-2022 4:38pm

This is going to be a long afternoon

noodler · 09-10-2022 4:38pm

Haven't lost faith in Klopp or anything as extreme as that but starting to worry he doesn't know (or isn't willing to be pragmatic) how to fix this without a few signings.

SlickRic · 09-10-2022 4:38pm

That looks innocuous, but even being caught on that counter off the corner was beyond poor, and Diaz is now on a yellow.

Pepp1989 · 09-10-2022 4:39pm

Surely be to God you try and be compact to start. But we left 3 v 1 on Trent. Like it's not even a system failure. The system is broken

machiavellianme · 09-10-2022 4:41pm

We're goosed now. Sub keepers always have immense games against us. No chance we score today!

Phew, Turner not on yet

BorneTobyWilde · 09-10-2022 4:42pm

I'm still confident, that goal was a glitch

Widdensushi · 09-10-2022 4:42pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119721828#Comment_119721828

Sub keeper bounce

noodler · 09-10-2022 4:43pm

It is regularly Trent's fault. Just not this time.

SlickRic · 09-10-2022 4:44pm

We're constantly one pass away from death.

awec · 09-10-2022 4:44pm

It is absolutely insane that a low pass across the box reaches a free man at the back post.

Incredible.
