Match Reaction v Liverpool (away)

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Klopp finally gets one over Verdasco.

I don't really care to be honest.

On we go, Anfield next up.

[Mac76]

it was a fair scoreline and Liverpool weren't even that good

pretty bad team selection from Arteta tbh, gave us no chance - we only looked dangerous when Ceballos came on

[Xhaka Can’t]

I disagree.

I thought we looked dangerous all game.

Just not in a good way.

[Niall_Quinn]

That's our millionth away game against the top 6 without a win. Something like that.

[Master Splinter]

All four goals came from mistakes and poor defending. Not a high-quality match, despite the commentators trying to convince you otherwise.

I also think Saka, being one of our best players, should probably be involved in most of our matches. He was cutting through Liverppol at Wembley but now has to settle for a place on the bench behind a blunt Willian and a hopeless Pepe.

Lacazette also showed once again that he's not reliable in terms of his general play or his finishing if we want to be a top team. Give Nketiah a consistent run or play Auba there.

The ref was a massive cheat again even though Liverpool didn't need his help.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Moral victory for us as our midfield didn't have Aouar and Partey in it.

[Marc Overmars]

Even with 1 goal in it for most of the game we barely plucked up the courage to have a go. We can’t keep approaching these games with tactics that are more befitting of a team at the bottom of the league.

Liverpool are streets ahead of us and that was evident but we’ve got to be braver if we want to ever hope of winning at one of these big grounds again.

[Letters]

Only saw the second half and thought we did ok.
Let’s face it, Liverpool are a level above us.
They’re a level above everyone right now.
They won every home league game last season before they fluffed their lines on their last game.
They haven’t lost at home for over 3 years in the league.
In the bit I saw we didn’t embarrass ourselves. Had Laca not shat his pants we could even have equalised.
So...meh.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Klopp and Keane having a tear up.

It was overly defensive, Arteta has found a way of keeping us in these games but you can't rely on it forever.

Citeh away as our next away league game, would hope we are far more positive in attacking there.

[Xhaka Can’t]

It is sickening how we have approached these games like a smalltime club.

We may now be small time, but we shouldn't approach games in that manner.
