Great performance I say (only saw the last 12 minutes).
Just when you thought it couldn't get any better, Wenger's WUMing game goes into another dimension on his 65th birthday. He won't be satisfied until we've all killed ourselves in existential doubt before his contract's up.
Stunning win :bow:.
In all seriousness, we were terrible bar Sanchez again. Although Cazorla, Sanchez and Ramsey should have scored before they did. And then they conspired to miss chances to kill us off.
At least our 3-5 minute period of effective football came at the right moment tonight.
Coyle in.
WHEN HE HAS A PLAN, WE BACK HIM, WHEN HE DOESN'T......WE KEEP QUIET
Same old rubbish from us, passing without any real intent or conviction and barely constructing anything of note. Shows the level we are at when this is even happening against a nothing side who easily managed to rattle us with their vibrant play.
No idea how we managed to win it, but thankfully we did. Not that it will lead to any sort of improvement, but still..
Yay.

daylight robbery of the highest order. Wenger is a buffoon. He has players like Podolski but wont play to his strengths. Only puts him on when we need a Hail Mary goal. Plays Wilshere and Ramsey together even if they have rubber bands holding their joints together. Another flukey result which he will hail as an example of spirit and quality and determination. I'm so pissed off we won. Now we will make the next round and get our arses handed to us again by the first decent team we meet
SOBs out!

Progress. :bow:
FFS Arsenal.
That was an incredibly close shave. I think Wenger has officially decided to take a sabbatical on our defence. It seems that he feels that there is no need for it. We laugh at Manchester United- but at the minute can we really say that our situation is any better than theirs at the back? The mentality of these players, the way they play, the little-or-no enthusiasm- there seems to be a fundamental, systemic problem here.
A word on Alexis Sachez. A few have beaten me to it but what a consummate professional we have here. Doesn't let his head drop. Just gets on with it and does his job. Top man. Ozil could learn a thing or two from him.
I just hope Sanchez' winning mentality doesn't slowly dissipate a la William Gallas a short few months after he'd joined.
Another plus point is Martin Samuel will have a heart attack if that happens while his beloved gypos get knocked out.Quote:

Jesus we were awful tonight, got out of jail with that one.
I saw the goals on BBC news after them showing the decline of Liverspew.l from 70s dominance, to RonDildo fucking them in the ass tonight.Quote:

Ain't celebrating that, what a pathetic performance.
Wenger out.
Good thing he doesn't seem like one to let his head drop, because he's adapted very well to the sharp drop in quality he was used to at Barca. Hopefully his teammates don't bring him down to their murky depths.Quote:

He lives another day with this result as I think had we have lost the pressure would have been intense.
That's where Merson let's himself down. This goes beyond spending money and having a world class DM. The players looked disorganised and uninterested for the majority of the game. Lazy performances all round and failing to do the basics.Quote:

Was Merson pissed?
Wenger :bow:
:lol:
Flew home yesterday. I gamely tried to stay up but the time difference is 7 hours so at half time it was getting towards what felt like 4am so I gave up.
Amusing result but worrying at the same time as Anderlecht really should be the whipping boys of this group and we made very hard work of it.
Maybe it'll produce some feelgood factor in the dressing room and we'll go on a bit of a run, we've got some winnable games coming up.
Yeah! :trophy:Quote:

They opened us with ease towards the end and completely shat on our defence.
The manager is again just idiotic with his insistance on playing this shit passing for the sake of it game and at no point during our games does he try change things or orders his payers to fix up. Apart from Alexis, no other player turned up. Ramsey, Jack, Gibbs, Santi, Welbeck were all shite and didnt look like they wanted to be out there.
I dont think we have a chance of topping the group, although a win next game for us and Dortmund guarantees qualification. If we play against Bayern or Real then i really do fear for us.
Wenger says we had spirit and refused to lose.
What a fraud this guy has become.
We need a new identity and style because right now this team is unrecognisable.
Alexis is the only one who deserves any credit, how long before he gets utterly fed up of playing with inferior players and for a deluded manager?
Wenger, stop playing Monreal at centre back because he just isn't one. Stop playing Ramsey, Wilshere and Flamini/Arteta in centre mid together, they can't. And stop waiting until the 70th minute to make your pre-ordained substitutions. Grow some testicles and change things earlier, when every one can see it isn't working. You got lucky this time, better teams would have punished us.
Yeah it was dire and has been all season.Quote:

Of all the Liverpool comedy over the last 20 years, you chose THIS as the realisation and low point of the decline :haha:Quote:

And if the players are starting to lose faith our season could be in proper trouble.
Overall, this performance was like taking a shit in a sock, pulling the sock over your head, but at the very end, finding a quid in the sock.
While I totally agree our performances were below par and very disappointing , it is very naive to think we should have easily won this game . In England , there is a tendency of thinking that good teams or good players are only those known to the English public . Belgium have many quality players more than England team at the moment . Look at the likes of Eden Hasard , Kompany , Dembele , Fellaini , Courtois ,Lukaku , Vermaelen ,Benteke , Origi , Vertonghen ,Quote:

Underestimating a rival can be deadly . And I believe we nearly suffered from that . Our players were thinking it would be an easy evening for them and almost got punished .
