Arsenal – Liverpool Match Thread

By: Martin | April 17th, 2011
   

Lineups are in:

Arsenal: Starters: Szczesny, Eboue, Koscielny, Djourou, Clichy, Diaby, Wilshere, Walcott, Fabregas, Nasri, Van Persie Bench: Lehmann, Gibbs, Squillaci, Arshavin, Song, Chamakh, Bendtner

Liverpool: Starters: Reina, Aurelio, Flanagan, Carra, Skrtel, Spearing, Lucas, Meireles, Kuyt, Suarez, Carroll Bench: Gulacsi, Robinson, Kyrgiakos, Shelvey, Cole, Maxi, Ngog

No real shockers in our team — Sagna was not able to pass his fitness test, so Eboue comes into the lineup, and Song is apparently not well enough to play, so Diaby comes back into the team after a very good performance last weekend. Theo van Nasregas makes the start up front. And it’s very good to see Wojo and Djourou come back into the team, hopefully they’re sharp enough to make a difference.

3 big points on the line, let’s go out there and get them.

Come on Arsenal.

    I think it's time for Wenger to go, same old aresenal, nothing new, talk about a win in memory of the late Danny ...... No passion. Time to sell Cesc, Arsh, Rosicy get a new management team. A STRIKER (this is someone that scores goals) remember this???????????

    If the best result for Liverpool was to get closer to Europe, and second best to let Arsenal remain in the title race then this was the worst possible result for both teams, wasn't it? Liverpool are not really any closer to Europe, United will have more league titles that Liverpool by the end of the season, and Arsenal's title hopes are all but dead. lol. Cheers to Manchester United - way to take a mind numbingly average team and make them champions.

  • Georgedb1

    LMAO Arsenal plays Liverpool - Manchester United wins.

  • Carson Jenga

    That was almost physically painful... Somebody needs to go to the Arsenal training centre and give the players a piece of candy every time they shoot. I feel this would motivate them way more than mundane things like a premier league title

  • poorscouserbobby

    both were soft at best, more dives than anything.

  • evaldo

    That felt like a loss. Still haven't seen a replay of the eboue "foul" so I can't comment on it

  • Orion_saidwiseguy

    Can I stop being rational and cry?

  • Oliver Tootenbocker

    Wenger acting a cunt as usual. Blame it on Eboue boys.

  • Oliver Tootenbocker

    The accused rapist with a goal...

  • Oliver Tootenbocker

    Diving cunt.

  • I can only assume you're talking about Lucas?

  • Georgedb1

    Just not getting through to the boys that a perfect goal is worth just as much as any other goal. With all the possession we've had in their box we shouldve shot a lot more

  • Sven

    Thought Diaby played well. Glad to see Songinho. How about a repeat of West Ham?

  • Sven

    Arshavin!

  • Oliver Tootenbocker

    Bendtner is so shit it is hilarious.

  • I am dumbfounded why Arshavin is not on the pitch yet.

  • FredJacob


    Anyone say Arshavin

  • Sven

    Everyone say Arshavin.

  • Sven

    2 teenagers and a third choice centre back. No excuse not to score. Why not add Arshavin into the mix like the first leg of the Barca match?

  • Aweofdarkness

    Hum, All I see is a very sloppy Eboue who looses possession of the ball and merely let us to a goal... Fabregas tries to initiate something, but nothing comes off. Nasri is being anonymous and Walcott is lively, but should try something different let's say something else then endless crosses. Fabregas uses Walcott's wing a lot on counter-attack which is understandable, but Walcott is being well covered by Robinson. Good game for Laurent and I am impressed by Djourou considering the fact that he just came back from an injury.

    Reina might cost Liverpool the game...

  • FredJacob

    we dominating this game hope Liverpool don't hit use a soccer punch

  • So far its been typical Arsenal, eh? Again, the question pops up, where are our finishers? I think Nasri should come off and bring on Arshavin, while keeping Walcott in, he has shown loads of promise today. Arshavin is the perfect fit for a 2nd half run..

  • Eboue deputizing quite well.

  • And Fabs is well off his mark today.

  • Yosemite Stan in presence.

  • COME ON ARSENAL!!!!

  • Marloneious

    Come on you gunners!

  • COME ON ARSENAL!!!

  • sofreshnsoclean

    let's go gunners!!!!
