Arsenal v Liverpool - 20:00 Monday 24th August.

I'm surprised, but we've been by far the better team so far. Fucking annoying miss by Benteke. Lots of praise for Cech I see but with proper contact he'd have had no chance.

 

[JimJams]

I also hate it when members do it, too.

Petr says chew on it.

 

[Stevencc]

Hell of an effort from Coutinho there, he's been unlucky not to score in this half.

 

[thespus]

We've been awful distributing from the back which causes Cazorla to sit deeper and hem us in - fortunately Coquelin and Cech have made some heroic efforts. I'd like to see Walcott and Chamberlain both.

 

[silvergull]

That an incredible finger tip save!

Don't get your jimjams in a twist.

 

[Master D]

Now that counts as a fucking save. Unbelievable stop from Cech.

 

[thespus]

Cech gets a finger on that. World class save.

 

[JimJams]

ANOTHER GREAT SAVE!!!

YOU HEAR THAT TRACTORBOY! YEAH! YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

 

[Stevencc]

Cech gets a finger on that. World class save.

Yeah it was a very good save to go with it.

 

[SALTIRE]

Petr Mutha Fuck'n Cech!

 

[Pagnell]

Cracking touch by Cech, but looked on line for the post anyway.

 

[TractorBoys]

Away win if this keeps up, Liverpool comfortably on top in terms of on the ball and on chances.

 

[johnnytodd]

Liverpool all over Arsenal like City on us...........can they keep it up, i hope not

 

[Pagnell]

More of that in the second half please. Except with Liverpool goals of course.

 

[smat]

Interesting game of "who can give the ball away in the most ridiculous area?" we're playing.

Give me a draw now.

 

[Mustard]

I'd go Walcott for Giroud second half, will force the whole Liverpool back line deeper and give our midfielders more time on the ball.

 

[allouso]

ffs

 

[SALTIRE]

Away win if this keeps up, Liverpool comfortably on top in terms of on the ball and on chances.

They won't win though, but I have been impressed with the approach, almost a perfect away performance so far. Arsenal will improve after the break though.

 

[JimJams]

Don't get your jimjams in a twist.

You better Cech yo'self!

 

[ColB]

How we're not winning I have no idea. Should be 1-3 up. Cech showing his obvious quality after a poor debut. Although it's difficult for him Firmino needs to get himself into the game more, otherwise I'd get Ibe on for him before too long.

 

[Stevencc]

Entertaining half. Liverpool comfortably the better team so far, Arsenal don't look like themselves at all - giving the ball away cheaply, errant passes all over the show.

Funnily enough Arsenal should still be going in ahead though - after Liverpool benefit from an incorrectly ruled out goal...again.

I reckon it was going in, second angle from behind Coutinho certainly looks so

[Pagnell]

Yup, would have gone in.

 

[Master D]

Gomez has looked a really promising player whenever I've seen him this season.

 

[JimJams]

How we're not winning I have no idea. Should be 1-3 up.

Actually despite Liverpools efforts on goal Arsenal should be 1 up. They're the only side to score a legitimate goal so far.

 

[Mustard]

Coquelin has been a ROCK so far. Nice of Chambers to give the ball away enough for Coquelin to tally up the successful tackles.

 

[Veggie Legs]

Wenger needs to change something; Walcott or Ox on, most likely, don't know who should go off.

 

[JimJams]

Liverpool fans should be heartened by this performance even if it comes to nothing in the end. The setup of the side looks so much better than the dross they've served up in their games so far this season. It'd be a little ironic if that came at the expense of points today but you'd want to see Liverpool starting with Benteke, Coutinho and Firminho in every game given the way they're gelling.

 

[Nath]

Coutinho is a joy to watch.
