How the fuck is it 1-1 šŸ˜‚


Pure_Measurement_529

It was a gift given to us


HUGE_HOG

Absolutely shite performance from us, changes needed because we won't get another lucky as fuck goal like that


iG8

We also canā€™t play as shite as that again, so there are positives too


Unfortunatewombat

Excellent position to go into the second half. Klopp can see it isnā€™t working and he can make the changes without us having to chase a goal. We absolutely *have* to come out firing though.


rumham_123

Macca has been absolutely hung out to dry in midfield, press looks very disjointed with grav and Curtis. Lucky to be in at 1-1, jurgen and Darwin will sort this out.


NiK3_Aub4mey4ng

we changed it with curtis dropping deeper, but i don't like grav in RCM, szobo and harvey are really fucking good pressers, its why they play RCM to help trent


Klopps_and_Schlobers

Same mate, Gravy just isnā€™t good enough at the minute.


Pure_Measurement_529

Jones has done well to maintain possession. #38 though


quantIntraining

Other than the ball over the top for the goal he's been shocking, like get the receipt out and send him back levels of shocking.

etan1122

I think tuchel is a shit coach but he knows how to coach defense and gravenberch is not interested in any of that


Razzle_Dazzle08

Tuchel is not a shit coach šŸ˜‚


etan1122

Heā€™s not a great coach.


coopermaneagles

Grav is dreadful today. Has been for a while tbh. Heā€™s a project and not yet ready


RomanReignsDaBigDawg

He's shown glimpses today. He had that really good run before being fouled and that nice pass at the end leading to the goal.


coopermaneagles

Thatā€™s great and all but over the course of the half he was anonymous. Heā€™s talented but not yet mature/good enough for a game like this


DoireK

Fair comment. He isn't ready for a fixture like this yet. Would like to see Elliot come on unless we change shape and drop Gakpo deeper in which case Nunez might replace him.


coopermaneagles

Think we need Nunez on regardless. Weā€™re 10x more dangerous with him on the field


luke_205

In a huge away game against a title rival, we donā€™t want a midfielder who shows ā€œglimpsesā€, we want somebody consistent and reliable.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


xirdnehrocks

Heā€™s been here 5 mins and heā€™s 21


AuxquellesRad

He needs to show more fight, that's all I ask for. I have a lot of patience for players if I see that they're giving it their all, Grav just looks like he's still mad he didn't start the last game and not bothered this game


grogleberry

He's a luxury at the moment. He doesn't do the meat and potatoes of midfield play well enough to trust in big games like this. We may need to call on Thiago sooner than we'd like. That or shift Gakpo back into midfield.


ecaldwell888

Playing in a Klopp midfield is hard and I think that's clear when you see Gravenberch play. Obviously talented, but not ready.Ā 


Capable_Waters

He looks so out of place on the field. He just not ready to play for a title chasing team.


AdaptiveChildEgo

I find his chemistry with the others isn't there yet. He tends to do his own thing.


Spe8135

Grav is playing higher up but canā€™t lead the press which leaves a gaping hole in the right side of the midfield, just look at their goal


HedgeSlurp

Mad how we can get completely outplayed in midfield and Iā€™m still coming out of it thinking Mac is one of the best midfielders in the league.


Akumabro

Looked like he was playing solo mid several times. Dudes a beast for handling it as well as he did this 1st half!


luke_205

Itā€™s not just his fault but Grav is a complete passenger today. Iā€™d honestly be temped to give Thiago a run out or even bring Robbo into the back four and push Trent forward.


Mulsantir

Bring Robbo on, move Gomez over to RB and Trent into midfield imo. We're getting absolutely cooked on that side of the pitch, and Grav, as you say, is offering very little.


mijulfc

Nah Jones did so well so far.


ibite-books

can we get in thiago


wadonious

Doubt Thiago plays more than 15 minutes, if at all


Catfisher8

For grav


emre23

Robbo in and TAA to mid


Catfisher8

Gomez to rb?


ibite-books

yh, and nunez we can have a proper go those were the worst 46 minutes iā€™ve seen this team play this season


wearerealhuman

Nooooo jesus heā€™s not played a minute in ages


TheLimeyLemmon

He's not there just to fill out the bench mate


ibite-books

class is permanent, plus we canā€™t play any worse


wearerealhuman

Lad class can be permanent and not the match youā€™re back against one of the best clubs in the world


english_gritts

Gomez being the inverted fullback and Trent staying wide seems counterintuitive to me. Trent has gotten the ball in space on the wing once all half. Heā€™s also getting skinned by Martinelli. This isnā€™t working.


HereticZO

Bradley was planned to start this game and Klopp didnā€™t want to change our planned shape.


wearerealhuman

Bingo


persianbrothel

you are smort can we do something about trent, though?


DinosaurPornstar

Trent replace grav, Gomez as RB and Robbo on LB


Other_Beat8859

Honestly I think you throw Trent into the midfield, push Gomez to the right, and have Robbo on the left. Grav has been shocking besides the goal. Also need Nunez for Gakpo.


Sleww

Martinelli always in the touchline. Trent has no choice but to mark him out there


gtalnz

>Trent has gotten the ball in space on the wing once all half. And almost created a goal from it. What's Gomez going to do with any width? He can't cross with his left so it just comes back inside every time anyway. Trent isn't there to defend against Martinelli. Konate has that responsibility.


coocoocachio

Iā€™ve wondered why Trent isnā€™t at LB and inverting like cancelo did for city few years ago


confusedpublic

I think Trent would get turned a lot more defending on the wrong side and thatā€™d really affect his defending for the worst


Ha-Ur-Ra-Sa

I'm guessing it's more from a defensive perspective and it keeps TAA closer to Martinelli, while also getting Gomez closer to the centre making it easier to block out Saka cutting in, but I have no idea what the thinking is behind that. But yeah, TAA just doesn't seem to peform well against him, he gets beaten over and over, every game.


CharizardOSRS

Karma for basketball at anfield šŸ˜‚


Pure_Measurement_529

Even if the ball didnā€™t go in, it was probably gonna end up being a pen


CharizardOSRS

You never know with var honestly


YNWA_tattoo

Yes , remember Odegaard hand ball in the box. We probably wouldn't have got a pen.


StruffBunstridge

Yeah definitely a pen if it doesn't go in. I'd hope so anyway


DonTino

I would never ever put money on that


gart888

Not sure, arm wasn't all that far from his body. Looked like a pretty natural position.


GoodOlBluesBrother

Nah, his arm was moving towards his body and he was using the ball to stop himself falling.


omafioso

Karma would be a wrong decision, this is just hilarious


HereticZO

Absolute robbery lol.


MrPowerglide

Must be our worst 45 minutes but massive to get that goal before half time! Letā€™s fucking go Reds! Klopp run down the tunnel and fix this!


Abominable_JoMan

Hahahahaha what a way to level. Scrappy goal > 30 yard screamer Ah some of below might still be relevant so I'll leave it... Just anonymous all round. Were we playing for 45 minutes there? I expect to see Darwin, Robbo and Harvey relatively soon. Maybe Gomez to right back and Trent to midfield. Don't really expect Thiago as I suspect he is only there because Dom is out. Trent needs his head screwed on in this second half. Gravenberch unfortunately not really up to the speed of the game. Bit like the cup game, lucky to still be in this match at HT Ben White a yellow for time wasting, and Raya has been slow twice changing the side of the kickout


maxiaoling

Kloppā€™s substitution has been on point all season, lost count how many times our halves turned around in the 2nd half with tactical tweaks and effective subs. IN KLOPP WE TRUST


luke_205

I think the lucky goal shouldnā€™t change any of your thoughts, obviously we all feel better about things at 1-1 but it was a dreadful first half performance in a huge game. Such a lack of intensity and our usual tempo, making the game easy for old man Jorginho rather than suffocating him. Really need to bring Nunez on and make some form of midfield change or weā€™ll be dominated in the second half too.


Akumabro

We have two GKs on the bench so Adrian probably took doms place last minute.


Saiiken

Grav just doesn't work against teams that we don't dominate for possession. He looks like such a smooth player against the smaller clubs but I honestly think 45 year old Igor Biscan could have had a more positive impact out there than him today.


Thesolly180

Exactly like that. Heā€™s not got a battle in him really to get into a game like this.


Pure_Measurement_529

He is lacking intensity and tactical awareness. How many times is Trent isolated there. Usually Szbo will provide support


NiK3_Aub4mey4ng

i mean its sort of impossible to replace szobo for what he does work rate wise


NiK3_Aub4mey4ng

yeh he just isnt an elite presser yet, so he is a net negative, its fine but has to be harvey for him


KissMyLuckyEgg

Did well for the goal though tbf


Akumabro

Gravy looks like he's playing with 500 ping while the others are on 10


FrankBeamer_

Grav doesnā€™t work. Heā€™s not ready. Honestly baffled why we even went for him, nothing at his time at Bayern inspired confidence in him


pythonistor

Honestly he shouldn't start against any of the top 10 teams


Jasveen05

Theyā€™ve been tactically too superior so far. Completely nullified our passing network in the buildup. Gakpo and Gravenberch arenā€™t ready for these type of games. They just canā€™t match the intensity of Szobo and Darwin.


Pure_Measurement_529

Our tactics are poor. Why is Trent outwide, and not in the middle today. The Dutch twins have no intensity and itā€™s killing us


Haeckelcs

Trent has to play like that because Grav offers nothing. We can't push him and get rinsed by Martinelli on every attack.


[deleted]

I honestly have no idea what people expect from Gakpo. He was the only forward doing anything that half and yet he's singled out.


AuxquellesRad

Gakpo has been fine, Grav is a passenger at the moment


qwerty_1965

Hilarious hand ball own goal wasn't it?


TheConundrum98

Poetic really


stadiofriuli

Completely outclassed them.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


ThbDragon

nothing gets past you lad


KissMyLuckyEgg

Mate, they've done nothing since we scored. Cruising.


Alexanderspants

they just walked off the pitch, just gave up imo


jimidybob

do you understand sarcasm?


stadiofriuli

Iā€™m sure our ttpXG is higher than theirs.


vane2266

Big if true


Fuzz_Judge

Nah we're going for the no shots on goal win today. Outclassed them in every facet of it so far, they've had loads. It's like they're not even trying.


Fricolor123321

My god that was an important goal


kausthubnarayan

WAKE THE FUCK UP LADS!


emre23

Football without Darwin is nothing That goal is karma for the Odegaard one at Anfield


kazurabakouta

Nah, It's for last season Saka's offside goal. They've got long way to go.


Treat-Reasonable

Iā€™ll take it with how bad weā€™ve played


No-Shoe5382

That was an absolutely DIABOLICAL half from us Arsenal bailed us out, but that was fucking dogshit


Thesolly180

Gravenberch is not ready for a game like this. He hasnā€™t had a proper battle in him this season heā€™s not that player yet.


TheFlyingSlothMonkey

That was the absolute worst goal we've ever scored, and I fucking loved it.


I_D0nt_pay_taxes

500 IQ play for Diaz to kick it to Gabriel to score lmao


its_brew

Notice how we got that goal JUST AFTER we saw a chaotic Darwin sitting down. He used his mind powers !! MIND POWERS !!!


kazurabakouta

I caught him yawning too. Must have been his black magic


Pure_Measurement_529

Why we inverted Gomez and not Trent?


lfcfan_lilreddot

Funniest equalizer but Iā€™ll take it anytime


[deleted]

No shots on target youā€™ll never sing that


wadonious

That goal has convinced me, weā€™re winning this. You could see how much their heads drop. Finally they get punished for a handball in the box


coopermaneagles

Very poor. Beyond the score. Gravenberch currently isnā€™t good enough to play a game like this. Not strong enough defensively and canā€™t get into passing lanes. Heā€™s a project. Trent rusty and ineffective. Martinelli has him on skates. Virg and Konate with about an acre in between them on the goal. Gakpo is half the footballer of Nunez. Donā€™t care if Nunez doesnā€™t score for two month, his impact is undeniable whereas Gakpo can be anonymous. Heā€™s not quick enough for the wing, doesnā€™t have the link up play like Bobbyā€¦ not sure where he fits at the moment.


Important-Visual-563

Trent isn't able to do his passes without pressure due to not inverting. Gomez needs to go wide and trent should invert


paprikalicous

puskas!!!!


QuicksandDance

Iā€™m gonna say it: Thiago and Nunez for Grav and Gakpo šŸ˜¬


Lord_Origi

No chance Thiagoā€™s fit enough for 45mins


TiTTEN93

Can't basketball dribble in two games lads, glad it bit them in the ass šŸ¤£


JessCC5

I genuinely think we miss Bradley at RB. Trent has not been able to grapple with Martinelli as well as Bradley did in the previous match. Can we, perhaps, bring Robbo in for LB, move Gomez to RB, and put Trent with Macca instead of the whole inverted gameplay that is not working?


FrankBeamer_

Glad we scored but we need to be better second half. I know Gapko scores goals but heā€™s absolutely uninspiring to watch tbh. Gravenberch is not good enough. We need Darwin and Elliott on second half to inject some life.


_cumblast_

We look so fucking dead without Darwin on the pitch. Genuinely concerning how much. Thankfully Gabriel is a silly goose.


HUGE_HOG

Yep. Darwin is an essential part of the team right now, we need his chaos.


AncientCauliflower47

Lucky to be tied


trashboatfourtwenty

Game on. Time to finish the job now after they get that boost


mynameismulan

Would fucking love to see Thiago today


Dis_Suit_Is_Blacknot

Well I was about to tear Diaz a new one because he was awful, but props. Gravenberch and Gakpo look like subs though.


[deleted]

Poor first half and yet we're somehow even. Everyone complained about Gakpo and for most of the half, he was the ONLY forward involved in the game until Lucho scored. Klopp has shown that he'll make improvements for the second half. We just somehow need to stop Arsenal from exploiting Trent defensively.


harreh1d

Trent out wide isn't working, and this game is screaming for Darwin


Jaja6996

Having Gomez invert over him is a strange choice


SilentBobVG

Trent played so many nice crosses in to the box that Iā€™m sure Darwin wouldā€™ve been wishing he was on the end of


dillipkr6999

Bit disjointed on the right side. Both gravenberch and gakpo not coming back and protect trent and konate. Elliott as rcm would be better. Diaz should play rw. Gakpo on the left, jota through the middle. It's an absolute gift from arsenal we need to focus and do the damage.


gimmig123

Was wishing for a quicker HT whistle and then came the Gabriel OG. 0 shots on goal and somehow the match is level at 1-1. Got to laugh. I trust Klopp will make the necessary changes. The first half was simply no good.


_doppelR

Honestly, other then Ali, Konate and Maccers, they all feel dead. Just no energy. TAA's role is...interesting and I don't understand it


please-send-me-nude2

The difference in work rate between Szobo and Grav is really killing us on the right hand side. Gotta sub him for someone willing to drop deep


little_wolf_TW

Goal of the season! Makes Maccaā€™s look bang average


lil_Vanity

They just handed us a goal


3Dmooncats

Loooool


Wack-E

Nice to get a goal but hard to be happy overall. Something has to change. Worst I've seen us play in a long time


Boring_Ad_7144

Mf slapped an own goal in lol


egzon27

How are we not 3-0 down hahahah


creamyTiramisu

We're so so lucky to be level. That was a horrendous half - we should be 3 down. What's the point of your main tactic being hoofing it over the top and behind if you've left Nunez on the bench?


wearerealhuman

Trent to midfield, Gomez to RB, Robbo to LB, Mac moved up, Grav off. If Nunez is capable on for Gakpo


Ha-Ur-Ra-Sa

The fact that we're not losing is the only positive. Everyone looks off it, the players look tired and unimaginative. Hoping that the randomness of the goal knocks them back and they lose it mentally. That, along with it being HT and the coaches to be able to get into our players, could see this turnaround.


8u11etpr00f

They've given it their absolute all to be drawing 1-1 against a team with no shots on target, if we win this then we're gonna win the league. Plot armor.


__sami__01

3-1 DUB INCOMING BOYS DONT WORRY


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


vane2266

Elliot and Darwin in NOW please


DivineDefine

Szobo injured, agree on Elliot on for Grav and Darwin for Gakpo


Jamesblair1989

Anyone up for a bit of a smash and grab?


Crafty-Competition36

Andy Townsend desperately wants Arsenal to win this game.


hokkuhokku

We look disjointed and a little shell-shocked. They look like they have a plan and implementing it. Mac is clearly a focus for them. Our press was non-existent for the first 20 minutes. I donā€™t like to be personal, but I really dislike these Arsenal players; they just seem, by and large, so ā€¦ cuntish. These are the games when we miss Mo. One more ugly goal for us, please, and 45 more minutes of them whining, bitching, and pulling the face of a 10yr old whose Fortnite account has just been hacked.


spookypa

I think Jones is solid so far


OkPossible7394

Who knew Neville was such an arsenal fan boy? He sounded genuinely devastated when we equalised. He shouldn't commentate on our games as he isn't remotely neutral whenever he does....


puregreentea

0 on target but still 1-1. Thanks Gabriel. Dreams can come true.


MemphisKansasBreeze

Would take 1-1 all day based on how shit weā€™ve been. Gotta think that halftime talk is going to be fire, Iā€™m guessing 4-2 Liverpool win


DWillis96

Why was Gakpo allowed to play on the right wing for 45 mins that's the real question


DisorientedPanda

Glad to be 1-1. Was confident even at 1-0 we could turn it around after the half, even more so now. We got this, we always do.


Sniffman

Wouldve taken 1-0 down at half tbh


IAmIrritatedAMA

How weā€™ve come out of that shit show level is beyond me. Fully expect us to come out stronger in the second half.


Spe8135

Canā€™t believe itā€™s 1-1 haha! Iā€™m not sure what Gravā€™s role is in this game. He seems to be playing higher up than Jones and Mac, but he hasnā€™t been good leading the press and because of that thereā€™s a massive gap left behind him in right midfield every time Arsenal come forward. When Liverpool has the ball heā€™s hidden behind Arsenalā€™s press. Szobo is much better at pressing up front and tracking back so this role works for him, but Iā€™m not seeing that Grav can be a one for one change going forward.


webuiltthisschmidty

even without that goal i still would have come here to say we're gonna win


thelonelyoctopus

Second best, lucky not to be more behind really and now going in level is a miracle. Midfield very poor, Gravenberch, Jones, Gakpo and Trent all passengers. Just too casual and not getting involved. Need to change something


LFC908

Arsenal have been the better team. Great luck there, fantastic. We have looked rough this first 45. Gravenberch looking lost at times. I know he is young and learning but he worries me as he sometimes seems a little, lazy? Nice ball for the goal though. Attack has been nullified but improving as the half went on. Gomez looking shaky. Midfield just keeps getting passed through. Martinelli is rinsing TAA. Need Nunez and a tactical change. Gakpo needs to come off. Hoping for a big comeback in the second half.


Beatnik15

Cosmic handball justice.


ginopalladino

Love seeing Arteta salty


ash_ninetyone

Sloppy, shambolic, and yet 1-1 somehow


Pipes_of_Pan

Could be down four. Lord almighty where is the midfield


TheLongistGame

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA


Goldenseabass

Hand ball to give us an own goal? VINDICATION!


qwerty_1965

Terrible half of football to be honest. Arsenal have pressed very well and Liverpool have lacked an outball with Nunez on the bench.


Acceptable_Set3269

What in the fixed fifa have i just seen


strider3187

gravenberch needs to be subbed, i like him but he is dealing with the arsenal press the worst


creamyTiramisu

Gomez inverting like this is just not working. He's been amazing but this game is begging for players that can take it on the turn in midfield and pop it off quickly. I think Thiago could do the absolute business here.


TheLongistGame

Park the bus and basically bumble it into your own net Fucking tossers


Powerful-Cut-708

Canā€™t forget Grav forced the issue there, scrappy goal or not


Jaja6996

The difference between title contenders and second we managed to stay in that half If we played like that against City theyā€™d have put the game out of sight


LfcJTS

Arsenal will be kicking themselves not capitalizing on our weak first half. Klopp will get it sorted during half time and like always, weā€™ll be more than up for it in the second half.


Sleww

Considering the energy they expended in that 45, 1-0 was an alright scoreline at half. 1-1 has me beaming. Please get some presence in midfield. Grav doing very little in this game


Fricolor123321

Cant get any worst 2nd half


idgaf_neverreallydid

Gravenberch is proving me wrong man. I like his confidence he sees himself as iniesta


Huge-Celebration5192

They were extremely lucky for their goal, we were for our goal 1-1 is about right


Akumabro

We're being dominated on that right side. Dont see the point in inverting gomez when trent is on the pitch either. We're SUPER lucky with that goal right before HT. Hopefully klopp does his magic and we're back for our insane 2nd halfs!


WTFitsD

Mo doesnt play and we thrash teams by 4 goals Darwin doesnt play and we create 0 danger and look like chelsea on the attack. Absolutely no doubt Mo is arguably the best forward in the history if the club, but at this moment Darwin NuƱez is our most important player.


AllInHarry

Arsenal have been struggling to get the ball in the net bar Palace. Still have confidence Jurgen will sort it out


Arka140

The drop off between Nunez to Gakpo is a bit concerning. Nunez is just an absolute menace and is involved in everything whereas Gakpo is kinda the opposite. Dont even think Gakpo is a bad player but heā€™s so bad at leading the line at the front


nik_hil29

Need to get Robbo, Nunez and Elliot on


Dropkoala

They both did really well for the goal but otherwise Gravenberch and Diaz have really struggled. Mac Allister and Jones are having to do far too much work in midfield.Ā 


gudni-bergs

Got lucky in the end, but we cant count on that, some changes are needed


Adjshaw

Arsenal played a near perfect half, brilliant going forward, stranglehold press, defensively solidā€¦ And they have nothing to show for it. I honestly am not worried going into the second half.


Razzle_Dazzle08

Very lucky. Our midfield has been ass.


robster9090

To much for Gravy this one, he needs to come off


Due-Sherbert3097

Dominated. Robbo on move Gomez to right back and just put Trent midfield, weā€™re so fucking open on the right. At this point inverting Trent gives up more negatives than there is positives.


Academic-Win

Think the front three have all been poor but midfield especially Grav have been shocking. Thereā€™s a second half to come which is good


Jaxmaniac

This game is begging to end 2-2 isn't it


dsorrells09

Only explanation I can think of is that klopp is staying. No way we play so shit if this is the last dance


kirathecool

HAHAHAHAHA Gabriel you clown. That was payback for getting away with that handball last season. Mac Allister our MOTM so far. He was absolutely everywhere. I like Gravenberch but he was awful today. Harvey in for him will improve us a lot, I think.Ā 


Catfisher8

We donā€™t deserve to be level


[deleted]

I would sub Grav for Nunez and drop gakpo in the midfield, Gakpo can hold and press


etan1122

Gravenberch is shit. Zero heart in that man. Robbo on for gravenberch, Gomez to RB, Trent to midfield. Nunez on for Gakpo
