The other thing, of course, is that we cant turn up at halftime like in so many of the other games recently.

UNAI EMERY'S RED AND WHITE ARMY

I'm just glad we have a left back at all!

Liverpool have been very good at getting wins this season, but their offense and pressing game hasn't looked like it did last season so far. We're not completely without chance here.

That being said, they are further along in their development as a team. I see any points gained today as a bonus. Just hoping we give a good account of ourselves.

Unai Emery is 47 today.

Seem to be on our toes for the first ten minutes at least.

Mkhi looking a liability .................

Was that a worked corner...............

How very unusual

Arsenal is bringing the game to Pool

Can someone explain how that is not a pen?
Mkhitaryan heads the ball towards goal, their gk is committed and completely flattens Mkhitaryan nowhere near the ball. If that is a centre back cleaning out a striker who flicks it on it is a free kick every time

Well done Xhaka!

Excellent chance for Mkhitaryan followed by a questionable offside goal for Liverpool and an excellent save from Leno when Van Dijk had an open chance. Not a boring game.

Well done Leno!

Well done Lino for ruling that Mané was offside. According to he complex and baffling rules he was actually onside.

Good open game

Leno doing brilliantly, fortunately. It would be more relaxing if we weren’t relying on him quite so much though.

Really positive football from both teams

Very encouraged by our play

Playing well, on top, need to get our noses in front

Oops. Got away with that one. What was Leno thinking of?

Excellent first half from us, this was exactly what I wanted to see. We might lose this game, but we're showing we can play our game against really good opposition. They've had a couple of great chances, but we've had our fair share as well.

Well, that was a proper game and we haven't seen that all that often when we've met the top sides.

Xhaka and Torreira have been excellent, infact everyone has. Some neat attacking play.

A few lapses of concentration in the left back area left Salah free a few too many times but otherwise we've defended quite well.

We are playing with renewed confidence. Very refreshing to watch.

Spot on Haz.

Agree with you 100% on this. Will have to catch the 2nd half later as I need some sleep

How can that not be offside? He's standing in an offside position then runs to the goal from an offside position.

I agree, its a stupid rule because Mané gains an advantage by being in an offside position to start with. Its an absurd rule.

Isn't he interfering with play?

Apparently not, once the play enters its second phase he's onside again. Ridiculous rule.

Baffling and confusing law. Needs sorting out.

Against the run of play ........ they score

Horrible by Leno. Damage nearly repaired by Torreira. Come on you reds!

Leno mistake. Fell perfectly for Milner and he just crashed it through a sea of bodies. We don’t deserve that. Been the better team for most of this game

Torreira nearly equalises. We need to just keep going, we're continuing to play well in the second half.

Nobody got close to Milner. A lapse of concentration from Xhaka.

Mkhitaryan played well. I didnt think he should go off. Unless his stamina is spent.

Very encouraged by our performance today. Dont deserve to be losing.
f%$*ng jammy Scousers.

Aubameyang unhappy in being substituited. He is quite anonymous today.

Lacazette!!

Lacazette!!!!!
