Sutekh I see the predictable Arsenal bus has arrived. Looking forward to the inevitable spectacle being ruined by one side playing for set pieces and random VAR comedy. Mind you with Konate playing it could be :lol:


Yeah, thought I would wait before replying to your penalty comment above and see what crazy VAR decision would go for/against LFC


It’s pretty awful fare. Liverpool, despite all their forward might, have a midfield divorced from their attack and seem content to just sit back and avoid shooting at all costs while Arsenal’s players throw themselves to the ground at every opportunity. Referee is the usual inconsistent waste of space. Gravenberch booked immediately he runs into a player, meanwhile Zubimendi is fouling all over the place and doesn’t get a booking.

It's a bit harsh on Gravenberch, but you're gonna get booked for bringing down a player that is past you.

Passing back to your keeper when you're 1 down in the 89th minute and bringing on 15 year olds. ArsenaLOL are not a serious football club.

Arteta tried to close the game down and failed, unlikely to win anything with so much “anti-football” tactics. No Saka and it’s all play to win set pieces.

So frustrating. Clearly the better team but it’s always safety first.

Same old….
