What a game! Two teams going for it no holds barred. Could talk about our usual defence and goalkeeping problems and not seeing the game out but let’s not spoil it.
Great match! Always is when we play Arsenal!

He will get away with that on account of passion.
When the dust settles most of us Pool fans will realise how fecking important it was to not lose tonight. It means we stay top four and can't be overtaken. Our next game is Swansea. We need to push on from here.
Still feels sick that we should have had 6 goals at least but Esther Rantzen.

Koscielny has been dire this season. There are mistakes in him every game.
yes. And still he's easily better than every other CB they have, which is astonishing.
You should be feeling gutted you didn't win. Arsenal played a similar game against us, started growing into the game when they went 2-0 behind, and we won 3-1.
Mignolet and Cech are just so bad, they helped the opposition. Though I suppose Mignolet is worse than Cech could ever be, so maybe not fair on the latter.
You should have been dead and buried at HT. We had a gazillion chances to put you away. Crazy match.
Both their fans was making fun of united defending their lead..
For them defending their lead is no fun. , Conceding is better

Didn’t watch the game but I hope they sent allopathic off for throwing that water bottle so violently to the ground. We all know water bottles had delicate feelings after the Mourinho incident.
Of course he will. I think this was a lot worse than Mou water bottle kick. Ridiculous and he had the facial and hand movements to go with it too.
That was a hell of a show!!
As long as they don´t realize that´s now 10 POINTS lost from winning positions in 19 games, plus all three CL draws. I don´t know how that cannot bother a manager or the players. The lack of composure on this team is astonishing. I don´t think Keita will change that either and neither will a new CB. Somebody has to step up to Klopp and say enough is enough. Let´s work on our ball retention and slowing down the game. They are not very clinical in the way they work counter-attacks. It´s always straight line, high risk 5 second attacks, instead of keeping the ball, surveying the defense and maybe work the corners a bit, spread the defense. That way a counterattack can last 30-60 seconds or even longer. You can pass the ball all the way back into your own half, making the tired opposing team chase back and forth and they still don´t have the ball. Instead somebody will try a direct heel flick through two defenders that stops the counter and gives the ball away in a position, where the opponent can re-apply pressure immediately.
That was like a basketball match. End to end stuff and you just have to laugh at some of the defending on display. Klopp and Wenger should both a take a leaf out of Mourinho's book and park the bus a bit more when leading. I would be furious if I was a Arsenal or Liverpool fan.
I hate this great game, advert for the premier league nonsense. We are wide open and make the same bad mistakes every year.
Our defence is a total shambles and Wenger is to blame for this.

Arsenal murdered you, they had three good chances against us. We can't all play De Gea, it's against PL rules.
Let´s be honest the only thing Pep has to fear is Klopp hiring Mourinho as a defensive coordinator or Mourinho hiring Klopp as an offensive coordinator. Otherwise they´ll probably win the next 3-4 titles.
You can defend smart without parking the bus for feck sakes.
Liverpool are a very impressive attacking team. Pace purpose and great skill.
If they could keep that team together and add a top quality keeper and centre half they would be a real threat.

Real murdering they gave us. What City did to you was a murdering.
Behave. It was clear our gameplan v Arsenal involved letting them have the ball and then hitting them on the break, all of which we played to a tee. Yes, De Gea made some good saves, but a lot were routine stops too from potshots from frustrated Arsenal players.
Hardly murdering, two-goal come from mistakes and you gift city 5 goal is really worse than us.
Yes, cos football works like that.
How the once mighty have fallen. Your obsession with Top 4 is weird.
When the dust settles more of you lot will start to realise that you are never going to win the league with Klopp.
Whatever makes you sleep at night.
The game was a lot of fun, but it was really messy and not a great advertisement for the league. Players looked shot by the second half, Arse played a disgraceful first half which should have seen them buried had it not been for Liverpool's attackers lack of composure, and the management was all over the place. Loads of individual mistakes in every area in the pitch as well. Anyway, it was a lot of fun for neutrals and a result that suits everyone bar Arsenal or Liverpool, so there's that. But what a mess of a game.
They murdered us and came out with a 3-1 loss. I'll take that thank you.
He won the internet for the night.
I'm still laughing at the 2nd goal Mignolet conceded. It's a standard save, ball goes under the bar but he fluffes it somehow.
Can't wait to read how "Its only 9 points" if we beat Leicester tomorrow..
Shame it's also against the rules to put a traffic sign between the sticks. Maybe it would save something.
Liverpool finished in top 4 only twice in like 11 years or so. In 2 of our terrible last 4 years they also finished 6th and 8th.
We failed to qualify to CL 2 times in the last 4 years. Liverpool qualified to CL about 2 times in last 10 years.
Which sounds good but the Everton and West Brom games are the ones we should be winning , not drawing. I'd take a point away at Arsenal all day but it's the like I said it's the Everton and West Brom games which are hard to take. How many is that now for Klopp to throw away leads ? I read somewhere recently it happens far to often. Was he like this at Dortmund ?
