Decent game
Arsenal played them off the park football wise, and would have won easily had they not kept taking time outs in order to act like queens...what's new?
It could happen, but I wouldn't back us to beat Arsenal next week. Wouldn't back anyone to turn them over at the Emirates, just like I wouldn't back anyone to turn United over at OT. Draw would set us up nicely I reckon.
Liverpool arn't very good
You know we played well when Noodle is giving us credit
Thought we did really well today, our passing was brilliant and despite the mighty Liverpool being at home their whole game was based around shutting us down. Apart from the first 10 mins in the first half and the first 20 mins in the 2nd half they weren't even close to us. It says a lot about Fabregas when they had Mascherano and Alonso both zonally marking him. Due to that he was a bit quiet today but still made a huge impact in the game. Two of their strikers probably spent more time as defenders in their own half then they did in our half. Thought Hleb was marvellous today, real classy performance from him. Rosicky, Eboue and especially Adebayor had real off days, Adebayor has hit a bit of a rough patch but he will come through hopefully sooner rather than later.
We dominated overall and Liverpool were very fortunate to come away with a point imo. Hit the post twice, twice missed open goals, Carragher lucky to not give a penalty away and possibly should of been sent off in the first half as well. I thought we were gonna take a pasting and people questioned when we come up north we fold but we did no such thing against Liverpool. Not many will come to Anfield and have over 60% ball possession (63% according to Sky and 66% bbc) and dominate them like we did.
