Klopptimist Prime - Liverpool FC 2019/20

[Steel Icarus]

It's sweet they're counting all Martial's goals but only Bobby's league ones. And ignoring the many, many assists.

It's sweet they're counting all Martial's goals but only Bobby's league ones. And ignoring the many, many assists.

They have to have something bless em.

 

[Badgers]

Bit nervous but expected strong line up...

Liverpool XI: Adrián, Fabinho, Van Dijk, Wijnaldum, Firmino, Mané, Salah, Henderson, Robertson, Matip, Alexander-Arnold

Subs: Kelleher, Milner, Gomez, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Lallana, Shaqiri, Origi

 

[Steel Icarus]

I expected Gomez to be VVD's partner from the off but Matip is a really underrated player. He's loads better than when he arrived.

 

[Badgers]

Great pressing first half but a few scares along the way. That goal is a bit of a relief, hopefully they can keep this intensity going second half.

Matip is a really underrated player. He's loads better than when he arrived.

 

[friedaweed]

Can't believe he's still on the pitch. Clear peno if Matip hadn't of scored.

 

[friedaweed]

Sweet sweet justice.

Shirt pulling cunt!

Did Klopp's teeth get bigger?

 

[Steel Icarus]

Not watching. Fair score?

 

[steveo87]

Remember when people were saying David Luiz was going to make Arsenal's defence solid?
Great days.

 

[Badgers]

Not watching. Fair score?

Arsenal had a couple of chances they should have scored first half. Overall LFC should have had a couple more really.

 

[Badgers]

Did Klopp's teeth get bigger?

Yes. Some time ago.

 

[Badgers]

Get the Ox on against his old team

 

[friedaweed]

Did Klopp's teeth get bigger?

No he just put John Bishop's in by mistake this morning

 

[friedaweed]

Not watching. Fair score?

Yup

 

[DexterTCN]

Yes. Some time ago.

Maybe next year the thread will be klippety klopp.

 

[friedaweed]

They look like Ali pulling the rope a dope at 3 nil. So composed.

Very good performance today.

Great days.

Frank Lampard wasn't saying that

 

[friedaweed]

So the Arse wake up and we take Bobby off and bring the Banana on

This could get interesting

 

[Badgers]

Annoying consolation goal for the Arse

 

[Steel Icarus]

Annoying consolation goal for the Arse

And annoying for all Fantasy managers with two Liverpool defenders

 

[friedaweed]

Annoying consolation goal for the Arse

To be honest I think we still look like we can concede once the midfield defensive shield-wall tires. They had some very tidy players on the pitch so I'd of taken that result all day TBH, they could have had one early on which would have rocked us more than a late consolation. I don't like team changes after a late goal though it fucks up the flow and I'm sorry to any of his fans but I can't believe we haven't let Banana go.

Good to see Mo finding early form and Bobby has been on fire since he came back from his break.

They look leaner and meaner than ever though

 

[Badgers]

If we keep pressing at that pace for 90 minutes with the attack on form we can concede goals.

 

[friedaweed]

Absolutely. I was hoping they'd give us more of a game but they sat back way too much for an Arsenal side

How has vvd blagged full red socks?

 

[steveo87]

"I'm Virgil Van Dijk, and I'd like all red socks."
Kit man: "Sound."

or

I think it's just tape.

Pretty scathing report on the BBC (which I will dutifully share on the Arse thread for the record

Arsenal's scant consolation in losing to Liverpool is that they have got their annual visit to Anfield out of the way early - and this defeat was not quite as harrowing as some suffered in recent seasons.

The statistics after this 3-1 loss, which left Liverpool with the only 100% record in the Premier League, lay like rubble around the feet of manager Unai Emery and his side.

Arsenal have conceded 25 goals in their past seven visits to Anfield. Since Jurgen Klopp arrived at Liverpool in October 2015 they have scored 26 goals in eight Premier League games against the Gunners - the most one side has against another in that period.

As a measure of Arsenal's progress and expectations this does not offer much optimism, despite it being an improvement on last season's 5-1 loss and the 4-0 defeat in Arsene Wenger's final season.

Arsenal: Bruising Liverpool defeat shows the huge gulf Unai Emery's side still have to bridge
