They don’t have better forwards or strikers over midfielders either.

firmino out of favour and never been prolific.
Salah is equivalent to Mahrez
Mane is off form as well
Jota nothing special
New guy again a winger

I'm not the biggest fan of his but not bringing him on was bewildering

Cos he would of slowed the game down more than Rodri

 

[Tim of the Oak]

Disappointing result but it could be an important point in the title race.

A lot of the fans who can’t get behind the team unless we are two goals up going into extra time are out in force tonight. We fight to the end and are still in a better position than the dippers.

I had a bad feeling about this before today. They are like the Harlem Globetrotters and our midgets just get brushed aside .
Salad would have got into their box and drawn a penalty.

I think it’ll be an embarrassment if we manage to lose this title after the point advantage we had, but that’s me

You words, not mine.

Hmm Hmm new guy Salah's replacement i'll have you know

Disappointed but many a slip twixt cup and lip - Arsenal might do us a favour or we have to come good when it counts. Credit to Palace, fine display - twunts.

 

[GaudinoMotors]

Been hearing all the Liverpool have got a tough game, some tough fixtures, they'll struggle during AFCON, they'll drop points etc. bollocks for ages now.

 

[MadeOfStones]

Really they are also measured in effort which is a fundamental part of all succesfull teams fact!

What good is running about like a headless chicken if you miss two sitters?

 

[Vester]

Sigh….They had played 2 games less than us so no it wasn’t 14.

We were 14 points ahead of them 2 months ago which is exactly what I wrote. Just like Arsenal is 19 point behind us, not 10, and 1 point ahead of United, not 10.

 

[Tangled up in blue.]

Liverpool play twice before we next play (in the league). They’ll be top of the league as we’re walking out at Burnley.

Yes. they will probably be 2 points clear so we have to beat Burnley

 

[Scouse Blue]

Back to back titles takes monumental effort. The pressure is bound to show. The first time in a long time I have witnessed our players having a go at each other. Hopefully arteta can give us a lift on Wednesday. Arse have really good form, so hope they don't just roll over and have their bellies tickled.

 

[argyle]

Momemtum certainly seems like its with them. Even when playing shit their excellent forward players will get them over the line.

It would be surprising but I can't see where they will drop points whereas we look very vulnerable, especially to attacks on the break and coming up against what seems like 20 men in front of goal.

I think we might have peaked too early in the season.

 

[Big Yaya Wilko 12]

Liverpool losing at Arsenal will make things look even better

Anyone counting on Arsenal is living in dream land.

 

[MadchesterCity]

I’ve a bad feeling that Grealish ( I’m sure he’s a nice lad ) is gonna be our Rodney marsh moment..

I keep saying it’s time he won us a game, he never does!

 

[Claytop]

I had a bad feeling about this before today. They are like the Harlem Globetrotters and our midgets just get brushed aside .
Salad would have got into their box and drawn a penalty.

He’d have had 2 or 3 tonight and it would have been comfortable for them.

So crucial having a proper goalscorer in seasons like this.

 

[hilts]

By some distance Foden is our best false 9 and most likely to make something happen in a tight space in the penalty box. It isn't his best position, but he's the best in the position he's being asked to play. Don't think we are doing it to get Grealish and Kev in the team. Just hope we get Haaland and Pep signs an extension and we win one of the big two trophies this year because otherwise we really have wasted a year without a striker otherwise, especially when everyone and his dog knew we needed one.

Well as foden can play left very well and imho as a number 8 I would say that is exactly what Pep is doing. I don't think any of our players are particularly suited to playing false 9. Our player of the season shines in Kevs position.

 

[Vester]

Disappointing comments, so much negativity. We may not be playing our best but this team are not bottle jobs.

I hope you are right.

 

[GoatersLeftShin]

Salah is equivalent to Mahrez

I hate to say it, but Salah is different class to Mahrez. Honestly, there's not many better than him in world football at the moment.

I'll go and wash my keyboard after writing that :)

If Salah was playing for us, we'd be a good few points ahead of them now.

 

[youngbob]

I keep saying it’s time he won us a game, he never does!

He laid a sitter on a plate for Bernardo. Not Jack's fault if Bernardo can't finish from 2 yards.
