After the last game and how it spanned out i guess for our games against Arsenal stats are not of much consequence Razz

by Fahim89 Sat Feb 15, 2014 1:00 pm

Well argue all as we may but despite me being mostly optimistic in most cases. Can't say i feel the same for Aspas. But i would love it if he can prove me wrong Thumbs up

Its time to buck them gunners
I'm just hoping Toure doesn't start

by Fahim89 Sun Feb 16, 2014 3:07 pm

LFC team vs Arsenal: Jones, Flanagan, Skrtel, Agger, Cissokho, Gerrard, Allen, Coutinho, Suarez, Sterling, Sturridge.

LFC Subs vs Arsenal: Mignolet, Toure, Moses, Henderson, Kelly, Aspas, Teixeira.

Henderson needed the break and great to see Teixeria holds on to his spot as sub!

by Fahim89 Sun Feb 16, 2014 3:12 pm

Arsenal starting XI v LFC: Fabianski, Jenkinson, Koscielny, Mertesacker, Monreal, Flamini, Arteta, Ox, Ozil, Podolski, Sanogo

Arsenal subs v #LFC: Viviano, Sagna, Gibbs, Wilshere, Cazorla, Gnabry, Giroud

I'm pleased with the line-up, I hope Teixeira gets his minutes in the 2nd half

by Fahim89 Sun Feb 16, 2014 3:17 pm

Sad to see Alberto slowly fading away Sad

by Helmer Sun Feb 16, 2014 3:27 pm

yeah someone had to make place for someone, I wish to take this game lightly because they are starting a decent team and I think the key is to defend, BR has already said in the interview that he would take 1-0 score instead of what we did to them at Anfield

by Art Morte Sun Feb 16, 2014 3:36 pm

Happy with the line-up, Jones deserves his start and Henderson his rest.

Arsenal's team doesn't exactly strike me with fear, but still well capable of beating us. Got to stay concentrated.

by Helmer Sun Feb 16, 2014 3:37 pm

so if we win this one we will play home against everton :coffee:

Oh wow. Would be great....

Manc City get another home draw, against Wigan Neutral

Well, we know what happened in last season's final...

Btw, a draw from this game wouldn't be that bad, would give Arsenal one more game to worry about.

by BusterLfc Sun Feb 16, 2014 3:57 pm

Well, here we go..
Agger :bow:

by Nishankly Sun Feb 16, 2014 4:50 pm

Sturridge

Missing Hendo Sad

Allen can't do the physical work Hendo does

by Red Alert Sun Feb 16, 2014 4:54 pm

Started lively, played for the first 10 minutes, didn't take our chance(s) and well, we look out of it now.

We're playing Arsenal's game and bar a few individuals, Arsenal don't even look they want to play this game. Disappointing I must say.

Also, not sure if we rushed Agger back or not but he's not really in the game. Headed the ball to a dangerous position that landed straight to Ozil, then went ball watching and didn't close down the space between the Ox and the goal.

by Helmer Sun Feb 16, 2014 4:55 pm

the initial five minutes was the only time when we produced something substantial, otherwise we are not able to play our game. It seems difficult

Not just that either, tbh.

Allen needs to play possession or he becomes very limited. He needs to help Gerrard out defensively, because we're getting overrun on the counter and we can't afford to let Coutinho/Gerrard to get a second yellow.

by Helmer Sun Feb 16, 2014 4:58 pm

yes it was surprising the amount of space which was available in the middle for them and in fact Coutinho is coming back few times but Allen seems to be playing like luxury AM :facepalm:

by Art Morte Sun Feb 16, 2014 5:02 pm

I thought we did OK in the first-half, had the better chances than Arsenal put couldn't put them away. We were a bit unlucky to concede that goal, but should've cleared sooner. If we keep up what we were doing in the first-half I'm confident we'll score.

Ps. Flanagan is not good enough, having another bad game.

by Red Alert Sun Feb 16, 2014 5:03 pm

Need to somehow get an early goal and unsettle them... we'll overrun them if we do. They're playing like they have 2 eyes on Bayern right now yet are in the lead....

by BusterLfc Sun Feb 16, 2014 5:20 pm

I want to see Hendo, Teixeira and Aspas in.

by Nishankly Sun Feb 16, 2014 5:30 pm

robbed

by Red Alert Sun Feb 16, 2014 5:54 pm

Teams a joke when SAS aren't firing, really.

When they don't score, no one else can. Arsenal were there for the taking. They lost their heads in the second half, especially when we pulled 1 back. Argh.

We should of had another penalty, that Ox challenge was RIGHT INFRONT OF WEBB and he absolutely bottled it. :facepalm:

Bottled to send Gerrard off too, to be fair. But the circumstances would of been different if it was 2-2. :facepalm:

by Red Alert Sun Feb 16, 2014 5:55 pm

Hope Everton beat them in the next round.

by mr-r34 Sun Feb 16, 2014 5:58 pm

Sturridge couldn't buy a goal today if they were free, FML thought that agger header went in. BS call suarez should of had a second peno, webb too much if a bitch to give 2 penos in 1 game.

by McAgger Sun Feb 16, 2014 6:02 pm

F*ck Webb. The second foul was even more of a pen then the one he gave us.

Sturridge missed too many f*ckin chances. Also f*ck these cup draws. Get frickin United at Old Trafford and Arsenal at Emirates. C*nts wouldn't give us a home game against a top side if their lives depended on it.

Would prefered getting thrashed then losing like this and being by far the better side with better chances, and getting f*cked over by the ref.
