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

 

[AAABatteries]

Great goal - Arsenal oof.

 

[ffldrew]

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?

 

[Sinn Fein]

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]

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

The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

 

[AAABatteries]

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]

Holy Jesus.

 

[AAABatteries]

  empty the stadium out

 

[Dinsy Ejotuz]

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

 

[shader]

Waste of 30M imo

 

[ffldrew]

LB is getting abused

 

[Sinn Fein]

Holy ####

-saido no-one ever

 

[AAABatteries]

Holy hell - this is entertaining

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

 

[Sinn Fein]

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

 

[Sinn Fein]

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]

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.

Here we go

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

 

[Sebowski]

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]

Keeper for Liverpool is a hot mess

Somewhere SAF is nodding approvingly with 5 extra minutes

 

[Sinn Fein]

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

 

[AAABatteries]

5 goals and several substitutes - could have been more

 

[Sinn Fein]

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

Wrong thread, guy. Game is over.

Did he place the Judas kiss on Moreno?

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

 

[bentley]

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...

 

[Dinsy Ejotuz]

"Roma-Udinese"

Merge it with the One Great Meal thread IMO.

 

[Slapdash]

 Certainly not his fault Arsenal have no depth....

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"

 

[Slapdash]

Putting spoilers in thread titles does kind of suck

 

[AAABatteries]

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]

We are on Klopp of the world!

 

[The Gator]

great game

Mane =  

Coutinho  

Klavan  :IBTL:

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]

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.
