Match Reaction vs Liverpool (home).

[Maestro]

Liverpool.

Though I'll refrain from laughing too hard while they're still in the cup.

Even with a fully fit non-suspended team Liverpool are not a patch on our team. We have serious world class quality in Sanchez, Ozil, Carzola and Kos, with a decent supporting cast. What real quality players do Liverpool have? They should be fearing us and not the other way round, our downfall is usually down to poor tactics, motivation, team selection etc ...all management issues. We are a better team than them, period. The real fear is our manager and what he may do next at any given moment.

Certainly don't fear them as a team, but in a possible cup final, god knows what could happen. 2001 still makes me sick.

Bad memories. But Hypia was excellent in goal that day, kept them in it.

I'm becoming consumed by hatred for Anthony Taylor

To borrow an Antipodean phrase, what a shit house

Great atmosphere at the game, despite sloppy period in first half, a wonderful performance of both flair and discipline. All four goals absolutely cracking.
Who says we can't perform well on 12:45 Saturday kick offs

I fear you have unwittingly stumbled into a thing with that comment.

[Injury Time]

First the negatives:
The ref was just and a meaningless red card to try and balance it.
Welbeck, he get in the right positions, but glad we aren't relying in him for goals.
Santi long ball passing in the first half
Razzle dazzle flicky Rambo , stop it
Kos injured? He went straight down the tunnel
Theo

The positives:
Sterling
Genuine team effort, enjoyed the effort in recovering a lost ball
Coq 2% away from domination
BFG got his mojo back
Hector (I did not zee the penalty incident properly, it looked soft from the other end of pitch)
Özil I think he might make the first team regular one day if he keeps it up (I loved the free kick but also Giroud was busting a gut to get there for any rebound)
Sanchez we need to keep him going back for altitude matches, seemed fresher than before internationals
Monreal other than the odd brain fart
Giroud gave it his all, chasing down at 3 up and took his chance nicely

Difficult to pick a MoTM we so poor, I guess it was Stevie "So Solid 20 seconds to go" Me

I enjoyed that

That Sanchez goal was a thing of beauty. From the build up, the touch from Ramsey to create the space and that touch from Sanchez to set up
that belting shot!

Really enjoyed that game. Some really good performances and moments. Ozil, Sanchez, Cazorla, Giroud, Coquelin, Bellerin.....everyone played well and we showed touches of class from the kick off. Started in the right tempo and we could have scored much earlier.

Liverpool played their way back into the game after a shaky first 20-30 mins. Overall it was a good game to watch. Wenger went defensive but I can't really knock him if it's working and we keep our concentration.

The players are playing like they have a shot at the title. It will be an interesting end to the season. We may finish this one up strong for once and push Chelsea to exceed our performances to win the title instead of us just fading away.

[Globalgunner]

Is there a technical explanation why we can only play in 15 min spurts. Completely flaccid for the middle 3rd of the 1st half but bionic for the other 2.
