Maybe Wenger should take a page from Pep and put his Coq at CB

[AAABatteries 23,220]

Great goal - Arsenal oof.

 

[ffldrew 3,236]

Wow - beautiful goal.

 

One has to wonder when the day comes when the Arsenal fans climb out of the stands at Emirates and tar and feather Wegner at mid field - today may be the day.

How the hell is this the same team we saw in the first half?

Because they are still playing Arsenal?

It's like first half Liverpool were a collection of guys that had never played together.

This looks like the preseason LIV.

 

Such confidence in this team right now.

[gianmarco 27,012]

That said, can't blame today on Wenger. Missing quite a few key players.

It's what I saying - if they can get consistency they will be dangerous.  They could have been down 2-3 goals but ended up even.  They'd been great for 15 minutes here.

[gianmarco 27,012]

Holy Jesus.

[AAABatteries 23,220]

On the contrary, I'm looking forward to the annual opening day post-match fan-on-the-street rant.

[shader 7,600]

Waste of 30M imo

[ffldrew 3,236]

LB is getting abused

[Sinn Fein 32,994]

Holy ####

 

-saido no-one ever

[AAABatteries 23,220]

Holy hell - this is entertaining 

[shader 7,600]

Whenever we get too positive, remember Miggy and Moreno are still on the field

[Sinn Fein 32,994]

That was the play Pele drew up in Victory...

[Sinn Fein 32,994]

We got us a good old fashioned barnburner.

I don't see how you could blame either of them for that goal.  The deflection took it past Mignolet.

[AAABatteries 23,220]

Wasn't there a 4-4 in this matchup a couple years back?  I could see it again except I doubt Arsenal's defense can keep it at 4.

They both stink.  Not necessarily blaming that on them.  But they are nervy players that exemplify what LIV have been over past few years.

Arshavin with 4 goals!  Damn - it was 7 years ago.

I absolutely blame Wenger. He's the reason there is zero depth. That starting xi today is just not good enough to compete for a title. 

[ffldrew 3,236]

Keeper for Liverpool is a hot mess

Somewhere SAF is nodding approvingly with 5 extra minutes

[Sinn Fein 32,994]

Gotta love it when two mid-table caliber teams get together and defense just does not matter.

5 goals and several substitutes - could have been more

[Sinn Fein 32,994]

I notice that Klopp only kisses the white guys.  Whats up with that?

Did he place the Judas kiss on Moreno?

ManU, LFC and Hull at the top of the table. As it should be.

Are we doing game threads for every Liverpool game this year? I'm in. Except for the European tournament games. Out on those.

The board's gonna love us soccer nerds, especially when I crank up the separate  "Roma-Udinese" game thread Saturday...there should be a lot of Kafka-on-Kafka discussion there...

Merge it with the One Great Meal thread IMO.

We are just waiting for Sinn to update the thread for the Dortmund v Bayern match "2 of EPL's top managers see their former minnow teams square off in German Super Cup"

Putting spoilers in thread titles does kind of suck

I'm on board with an in-game thread for all matches if others are and spoilers in the main thread was one reason why.  Make the thread title generic or just put upcoming matchups in the title.  Leave the main thread for general talk.  Or just leave it how it was as it wasn't too much of a pain to skip the game posts.  Just need most people to agree/comply to make it worth doing.

[bentley 3,190]

We are on Klopp of the world!

[The Gator 8,238]

great game

 

Mane =  

Coutinho  

Klavan 

Wijnaldum > Pogba 

 

 

Still hungover, so that was a good start to the morning

Of course, that just leaves me wondering what goes in the soccer thread

 

[Sinn Fein 32,994]

So which is worse:

 

1.  Moreno's defending

or, 

2.  Moreno's haircut

Good point but can we at least leave @The Gator and his slobbing on Coutinho and CR's knobs in this thread?  It's embarrassing.
