EPL Matchweek 17 Discussion

[Zidane98]

Should be about 10 mins of injury time with all these stoppages

 

[Latro]

Does Arsene know he can make 3subs.

 

[tigs2010]

Great save

 

[moomba]

Just not sure on Lallana, has a lot of quality. You get the feeling he is at his best when everything runs through him, but is he good enough to be the main man at a club that wants to win something.

I could see him being a better player at international level than he is at club level.

 

[BluesMan]

Yeh I dunno. I'd have played that on if I was ref but I guess the old keeper as a protected species comes in.

Yep, can't touch a keeper without a whistle

 

[bok_party]

Haha borini off

 

[BluesMan]

In and out Borini, laughable performance

 

[moomba]

I don't tend to feel sorry for footballers but I did for Borini then.

He just gave himself a proper shafting. And he knew it.

 

[lewigie]

At least he was trying to create something out there I guess

 

[bok_party]

Gee that cut on cazorla!

 

[Magma]

well he was pumped. run run run get angry throw ball run run take corners run studs up try and rip off cazorla's nipple run down stairs.

SQUIRTLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

He's played well for us without ever actually dominating games like he did with Southampton. His touch is fantastic, he rarely makes the wrong decision, always links up well, the only criticism I'd have of him this season is that he's playing a lot safer than he did in a Southampton shirt.

 

[Juggs Magnetic]

Why was no one marking him?

 

[ADL9798]

Dumb from Borini. Deserved the red.

Outstanding header from Skrtel. Deserved the equalizer.

 

[Magma]

great. thanks alot skrtel

now we get to listen to how zonal marking never worked and a goal has never been conceded from man marking.

* sake. you've ruined everything martin.

 

[lewigie]

He was seriously the only danger at that corner. ******* ridiculous defending. At least have someone watching him at all.

 

[BluesMan]

No idea what to make of that game, probably the right result

 

[Rustin Cohle]

Liverpool vs. Arsenal. I'm not sure which team is more of a joke at the moment.

 

[ADL9798]

Why was no one marking him?

Because he's run from deep and hit the ball at it's highest point at full tilt? Tbh not much a defender can do to stop a header from a big unit like Skrtel that's been as well timed as that, it's not like he was static and the ball came to him.

 

[Zidane98]

Should have won that game comfortably. Hope we start putting some goals away when Studge & Balo get going.

 

[Juggs Magnetic]

Tbh not much a defender can do to stop a header from a big unit like Skrtel that's been as well timed as that, it's not like he was static and the ball came to him.[/he did come from deep, but he's always a danger at corner, should at least have some one stopping his run, but arsenal didn't really deserve 3 pints, played terribly

 

[Zidane98]

Borini looked like scoring until he had a brain explosion. Thank * he didn't get a straight red card otherwise it would be mire difficult selling him in Jan.

 

[moomba]

Ha ha, that was fantastic. And a very important one for Liverpool, lose that game and it's starting to get all a bit difficult.

 

[ADL9798]

Liverpool 2-2 Arsenal
Shots: 27-5
Shots on target: 10-2
Possession: 65%-35%
Chances created: 21-4

Yet another game that we really could have done with a quality finisher up top. Sturridge plays and we win that, no questions asked. You always hear pundits say that the game is won in midfield, I call bollocks. The game is won by forwards that can score from the least number of chances.

@ESPNFC: LFC's last 3 Prem games (Sunderland, Man Utd, Arsenal):
- 61 shots
- 21 on target
- TWO goals
- TWO points

Conversely, here's the story at the other end!
@Squawka: Brad Jones has faced 8 shots on target in his 2 Premier League games this season, conceding 5 goals in the process. http://t.co/3ZQyv4W0H8
