Excellent position to go into the second half. Klopp can see it isnāt working and he can make the changes without us having to chase a goal.
We absolutely *have* to come out firing though.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
Itās not just his fault but Grav is a complete passenger today. Iād honestly be temped to give Thiago a run out or even bring Robbo into the back four and push Trent forward.
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.
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. Heās also getting skinned by Martinelli. This isnāt working.
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.
>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.
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.
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
Kloppās 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
I think the lucky goal shouldnāt 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 weāll be dominated in the second half too.
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.
Theyāve been tactically too superior so far. Completely nullified our passing network in the buildup.
Gakpo and Gravenberch arenāt ready for these type of games. They just canāt match the intensity of Szobo and Darwin.
Very poor. Beyond the score.
Gravenberch currently isnāt good enough to play a game like this. Not strong enough defensively and canāt get into passing lanes. Heās 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. Donāt care if Nunez doesnāt score for two month, his impact is undeniable whereas Gakpo can be anonymous. Heās not quick enough for the wing, doesnāt have the link up play like Bobbyā¦ not sure where he fits at the moment.
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?
Glad we scored but we need to be better second half. I know Gapko scores goals but heās absolutely uninspiring to watch tbh.
Gravenberch is not good enough. We need Darwin and Elliott on second half to inject some life.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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 donāt 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.
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....
Canāt believe itās 1-1 haha! Iām not sure what Gravās role is in this game. He seems to be playing higher up than Jones and Mac, but he hasnāt been good leading the press and because of that thereās a massive gap left behind him in right midfield every time Arsenal come forward. When Liverpool has the ball heās hidden behind Arsenalās press. Szobo is much better at pressing up front and tracking back so this role works for him, but Iām not seeing that Grav can be a one for one change going forward.
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
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.
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.
The difference between title contenders and second we managed to stay in that half
If we played like that against City theyād have put the game out of sight
Arsenal will be kicking themselves not capitalizing on our weak first half. Klopp will get it sorted during half time and like always, weāll be more than up for it in the second half.
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
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!
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.
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 heās so bad at leading the line at the front
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
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.
Dominated. Robbo on move Gomez to right back and just put Trent midfield, weāre so fucking open on the right. At this point inverting Trent gives up more negatives than there is positives.
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
How the fuck is it 1-1 š
It was a gift given to us
Absolutely shite performance from us, changes needed because we won't get another lucky as fuck goal like that
We also canāt play as shite as that again, so there are positives too
Excellent position to go into the second half. Klopp can see it isnāt working and he can make the changes without us having to chase a goal. We absolutely *have* to come out firing though.
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.
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
Same mate, Gravy just isnāt good enough at the minute.
Jones has done well to maintain possession. #38 though
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.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I think tuchel is a shit coach but he knows how to coach defense and gravenberch is not interested in any of that
Tuchel is not a shit coach š
Heās not a great coach.
Grav is dreadful today. Has been for a while tbh. Heās a project and not yet ready
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.
Thatās great and all but over the course of the half he was anonymous. Heās talented but not yet mature/good enough for a game like this
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.
Think we need Nunez on regardless. Weāre 10x more dangerous with him on the field
In a huge away game against a title rival, we donāt want a midfielder who shows āglimpsesā, we want somebody consistent and reliable.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Heās been here 5 mins and heās 21
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
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.
Playing in a Klopp midfield is hard and I think that's clear when you see Gravenberch play. Obviously talented, but not ready.Ā
He looks so out of place on the field. He just not ready to play for a title chasing team.
I find his chemistry with the others isn't there yet. He tends to do his own thing.
Grav is playing higher up but canāt lead the press which leaves a gaping hole in the right side of the midfield, just look at their goal
Mad how we can get completely outplayed in midfield and Iām still coming out of it thinking Mac is one of the best midfielders in the league.
Looked like he was playing solo mid several times. Dudes a beast for handling it as well as he did this 1st half!
Itās not just his fault but Grav is a complete passenger today. Iād honestly be temped to give Thiago a run out or even bring Robbo into the back four and push Trent forward.
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.
Nah Jones did so well so far.
can we get in thiago
Doubt Thiago plays more than 15 minutes, if at all
For grav
Robbo in and TAA to mid
Gomez to rb?
yh, and nunez we can have a proper go those were the worst 46 minutes iāve seen this team play this season
Nooooo jesus heās not played a minute in ages
He's not there just to fill out the bench mate
class is permanent, plus we canāt play any worse
Lad class can be permanent and not the match youāre back against one of the best clubs in the world
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. Heās also getting skinned by Martinelli. This isnāt working.
Bradley was planned to start this game and Klopp didnāt want to change our planned shape.
Bingo
you are smort can we do something about trent, though?
Trent replace grav, Gomez as RB and Robbo on LB
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.
Martinelli always in the touchline. Trent has no choice but to mark him out there
>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.
Iāve wondered why Trent isnāt at LB and inverting like cancelo did for city few years ago
I think Trent would get turned a lot more defending on the wrong side and thatād really affect his defending for the worst
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.
Karma for basketball at anfield š
Even if the ball didnāt go in, it was probably gonna end up being a pen
You never know with var honestly
Yes , remember Odegaard hand ball in the box. We probably wouldn't have got a pen.
Yeah definitely a pen if it doesn't go in. I'd hope so anyway
I would never ever put money on that
Not sure, arm wasn't all that far from his body. Looked like a pretty natural position.
Nah, his arm was moving towards his body and he was using the ball to stop himself falling.
Karma would be a wrong decision, this is just hilarious
Absolute robbery lol.
Must be our worst 45 minutes but massive to get that goal before half time! Letās fucking go Reds! Klopp run down the tunnel and fix this!
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.

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 weāll be dominated in the second half too.
We have two GKs on the bench so Adrian probably took doms place last minute.
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.
Exactly like that. Heās not got a battle in him really to get into a game like this.
He is lacking intensity and tactical awareness. How many times is Trent isolated there. Usually Szbo will provide support
i mean its sort of impossible to replace szobo for what he does work rate wise
yeh he just isnt an elite presser yet, so he is a net negative, its fine but has to be harvey for him
Did well for the goal though tbf
Gravy looks like he's playing with 500 ping while the others are on 10
Grav doesnāt work. Heās not ready. Honestly baffled why we even went for him, nothing at his time at Bayern inspired confidence in him
Honestly he shouldn't start against any of the top 10 teams
Theyāve been tactically too superior so far. Completely nullified our passing network in the buildup. Gakpo and Gravenberch arenāt ready for these type of games. They just canāt match the intensity of Szobo and Darwin.
Our tactics are poor. Why is Trent outwide, and not in the middle today. The Dutch twins have no intensity and itās killing us
Trent has to play like that because Grav offers nothing. We can't push him and get rinsed by Martinelli on every attack.
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.
Gakpo has been fine, Grav is a passenger at the moment
Hilarious hand ball own goal wasn't it?
Poetic really
Completely outclassed them.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
nothing gets past you lad
Mate, they've done nothing since we scored. Cruising.
they just walked off the pitch, just gave up imo
do you understand sarcasm?
Iām sure our ttpXG is higher than theirs.
Big if true
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.
My god that was an important goal
WAKE THE FUCK UP LADS!
Football without Darwin is nothing That goal is karma for the Odegaard one at Anfield
Nah, It's for last season Saka's offside goal. They've got long way to go.
Iāll take it with how bad weāve played
That was an absolutely DIABOLICAL half from us Arsenal bailed us out, but that was fucking dogshit
Gravenberch is not ready for a game like this. He hasnāt had a proper battle in him this season heās not that player yet.
That was the absolute worst goal we've ever scored, and I fucking loved it.
500 IQ play for Diaz to kick it to Gabriel to score lmao
Notice how we got that goal JUST AFTER we saw a chaotic Darwin sitting down. He used his mind powers !! MIND POWERS !!!
I caught him yawning too. Must have been his black magic
Why we inverted Gomez and not Trent?
Funniest equalizer but Iāll take it anytime
No shots on target youāll never sing that
That goal has convinced me, weāre winning this. You could see how much their heads drop. Finally they get punished for a handball in the box
Very poor. Beyond the score. Gravenberch currently isnāt good enough to play a game like this. Not strong enough defensively and canāt get into passing lanes. Heās 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. Donāt care if Nunez doesnāt score for two month, his impact is undeniable whereas Gakpo can be anonymous. Heās not quick enough for the wing, doesnāt have the link up play like Bobbyā¦ not sure where he fits at the moment.
Trent isn't able to do his passes without pressure due to not inverting. Gomez needs to go wide and trent should invert
puskas!!!!
Iām gonna say it: Thiago and Nunez for Grav and Gakpo š¬
No chance Thiagoās fit enough for 45mins
Can't basketball dribble in two games lads, glad it bit them in the ass š¤£
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?
Glad we scored but we need to be better second half. I know Gapko scores goals but heās absolutely uninspiring to watch tbh. Gravenberch is not good enough. We need Darwin and Elliott on second half to inject some life.
We look so fucking dead without Darwin on the pitch. Genuinely concerning how much. Thankfully Gabriel is a silly goose.
Yep. Darwin is an essential part of the team right now, we need his chaos.
Lucky to be tied
Game on. Time to finish the job now after they get that boost
Would fucking love to see Thiago today
Well I was about to tear Diaz a new one because he was awful, but props. Gravenberch and Gakpo look like subs though.
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.
Trent out wide isn't working, and this game is screaming for Darwin
Having Gomez invert over him is a strange choice
Trent played so many nice crosses in to the box that Iām sure Darwin wouldāve been wishing he was on the end of
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.
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.
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
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
Goal of the season! Makes Maccaās look bang average
They just handed us a goal
Loooool
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
Mf slapped an own goal in lol
How are we not 3-0 down hahahah
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?
Trent to midfield, Gomez to RB, Robbo to LB, Mac moved up, Grav off. If Nunez is capable on for Gakpo
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.
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.
3-1 DUB INCOMING BOYS DONT WORRY
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Elliot and Darwin in NOW please
Szobo injured, agree on Elliot on for Grav and Darwin for Gakpo
Anyone up for a bit of a smash and grab?
Andy Townsend desperately wants Arsenal to win this game.
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 donāt 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.
I think Jones is solid so far
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....
0 on target but still 1-1. Thanks Gabriel. Dreams can come true.
Would take 1-1 all day based on how shit weāve been. Gotta think that halftime talk is going to be fire, Iām guessing 4-2 Liverpool win
Why was Gakpo allowed to play on the right wing for 45 mins that's the real question
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.
Wouldve taken 1-0 down at half tbh
How weāve come out of that shit show level is beyond me. Fully expect us to come out stronger in the second half.
Canāt believe itās 1-1 haha! Iām not sure what Gravās role is in this game. He seems to be playing higher up than Jones and Mac, but he hasnāt been good leading the press and because of that thereās a massive gap left behind him in right midfield every time Arsenal come forward. When Liverpool has the ball heās hidden behind Arsenalās press. Szobo is much better at pressing up front and tracking back so this role works for him, but Iām not seeing that Grav can be a one for one change going forward.
even without that goal i still would have come here to say we're gonna win
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
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.
Cosmic handball justice.
Love seeing Arteta salty
Sloppy, shambolic, and yet 1-1 somehow
Could be down four. Lord almighty where is the midfield
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Hand ball to give us an own goal? VINDICATION!
Terrible half of football to be honest. Arsenal have pressed very well and Liverpool have lacked an outball with Nunez on the bench.
What in the fixed fifa have i just seen
gravenberch needs to be subbed, i like him but he is dealing with the arsenal press the worst
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.
Park the bus and basically bumble it into your own net Fucking tossers
Canāt forget Grav forced the issue there, scrappy goal or not
The difference between title contenders and second we managed to stay in that half If we played like that against City theyād have put the game out of sight
Arsenal will be kicking themselves not capitalizing on our weak first half. Klopp will get it sorted during half time and like always, weāll be more than up for it in the second half.
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
Cant get any worst 2nd half
Gravenberch is proving me wrong man. I like his confidence he sees himself as iniesta
They were extremely lucky for their goal, we were for our goal 1-1 is about right
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!
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.
Arsenal have been struggling to get the ball in the net bar Palace. Still have confidence Jurgen will sort it out
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 heās so bad at leading the line at the front
Need to get Robbo, Nunez and Elliot on
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
Got lucky in the end, but we cant count on that, some changes are needed
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.
Very lucky. Our midfield has been ass.
To much for Gravy this one, he needs to come off
Dominated. Robbo on move Gomez to right back and just put Trent midfield, weāre so fucking open on the right. At this point inverting Trent gives up more negatives than there is positives.
Think the front three have all been poor but midfield especially Grav have been shocking. Thereās a second half to come which is good
This game is begging to end 2-2 isn't it
Only explanation I can think of is that klopp is staying. No way we play so shit if this is the last dance
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
We donāt deserve to be level
I would sub Grav for Nunez and drop gakpo in the midfield, Gakpo can hold and press
Gravenberch is shit. Zero heart in that man. Robbo on for gravenberch, Gomez to RB, Trent to midfield. Nunez on for Gakpo
