LIVERPOOL v ARSENAL

Don't dare drop points against the Arse.  The market believes that Arse are a (slightly) better team.

arsenal will be happy with a point.i think they'll get it.

I'm going for a Desmond (2-2) FT.

Isak 130mill done deal.

Match of the Day

Whatever happens in  this I think Liverpool will be longer and Arse shorter for the prem after it. Liverpool obv very much a work in progress and Arse obv very much further along the road.

Tempted to lay Liverpool

I'm tempted to back Liverpool @ 2.50. Neither team has hit form yet and although Arsenal hasn't lost to Liverpool for half a dozen games, they struggle to get over the line at Anfield. Probably the safest bet would be to lay Arsenal.

They will have to shape a bit better than at Newcastle Dragon. Will not be betting on the match, in the "too difficult tray".

Will be watching with the mrs though and hope the pool win.

I'm with barstool

cheers barstool --ill be watching from behind the sofa

sofa knows... but I'm hoping Liverpool win.

I'm putting the Edge on this.. Pays 12/1

BTTS looks a sound bet at 1.64. Liverpool will score, and they will also probably concede. Arsenal look a more cohesive unit to me, Liverpool have blown hot and cold, imho. The skill and flair they have in attack make it hard to bet against them. And they have developed the habit of scoring late on, but they are not yet the unbeatable machine that the media are making them out to be. A score draw would not suprise me.

The Liverpool line-up is locked in.

Alisson; Szoboszlai, Konate, Van Dijk, Kerkez; Gravenberch, Mac Allister; Salah, Wirtz, Gakpo; Ekitike.

Subs: Mamardashvili, Gomez, Endo, Chiesa, Jones, Elliott, Robertson, Bradley, Ngumoha

One change. Mac Allister back in.

happy with that

I've put my City winnings on Liverpool

Martinelli and Madueke... no Liverpool lay for me. No bet

Title decider

1st line of defense impoortant

another injury fot gooners

no way ref

cagey start

1st impressions of l,pool this season, WOW THAT WISS HAS SOME FOOKING AGENT

early doors

yep  but no 100 mill in the world passes that ball to salah there when defence is backing off you,lad didnt want to no easy ball pass the buck on to someone else

disappointing start from pool

this is fooking shocking

Not a good watch. I'm starting to lose interest here.

yes not the best so far for sure

11 goals in liverpools first 2 games ....boring boring arsenal

Not a great advert for the EPL if these are the best two, at least when United play we get something to laugh at

need a goal

Madueke has got Kerkez on toast

set pieces
long throws
and epl teams launching it 70 yds in hope of getting field position

might as well get fat sam,pulis,warnock back instead of the inferior copy cats

Ref and VAR looking to stitch Liverpool up here.

All decisions going against Liverpool.

Even had a VAR heck for possible penalty when there was absolutely nothing there.

No booking for Zubimendi or Merino for blatant diving

shd have booked him for diving there

0-0 looking good. although maybe they go for it late on. Both teams know this could be a title decider

l,pool within another billion £ spend of been 2 or 3 players away from been a half decent side

at end of game both teams players/managers will convince interviewers hard fought game between 2 very good sides,no interviewer /pundit will have the rollocks to tell them your talging garbage it was an embarrassment to the EPL

Go I hate the way Roy Keane says "Earsenal".

This game absolutely needs a goal. Hopefully we'll get one early in the 2nd half.

This game absolutely needs a goal.

I'm sorry to inform Mr sofaking that your VAR application has not been successful!

neville shd not be allowed to comment on liverpool games --he is so anti pool its untrue

I've already muted this game. Next step will be to switch it off if there's no goal by the hour mark.

I've cashed out for a small loss. Most boring game of the weekend

going to watch the hundred final shortly --this is dross

Liverpool waiting to loss shocking game

lose

Doubt i would play salah atm

either team to score 3 is 55-1 each 55-95, i reckon 1 of them will hopefully both ...

Wtf

Raya got away with one

It's not a good game, but we will be nostalgic for it once the international shyte gets going

Looking like Salah signed that contract just in time.

Got to hit that first time

Pool goal coming before the end IMO

mo salah had a fooking nightmare

1-0

boooooooooooooommmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

knew it

What a strike, unbelievable.

Eze diving there, could have gone on with it

cracking lad,cracking

Arsensal getting what they deserve here, too happy with not winning is not the stuff of champions.

same old with them duffy

Yeah, were playing for 0-0, no initiative

Arteta would rather not lose than win, its in his DNA, hence why he wins FA.

Salah lost it. Glad didnt pick him for fpl

telling MO to fook right off was a better decision than the free kick itself,

7 added

That free kick was something else, absolutely magnificent.

Oh, Pool scored, I see. Absolutely rancid game from what I saw.

FT

Well done Liverpool, didn't play well but was always trying and that was the difference.

3/3 gtfi

Huge win, our man The Dragon in clover.

I read someone on here being very critical of Zsobozslai first game of the season.  I wonder what he thinks now ? 

cmon palace treble is on

Imagine being Trossard and seeing a 15yo on instead of you. Must be some kick in the nuts to his ego

True.  And he is a bit tetchy at the best of times anyway.

in fairness the young 15 year old lad looked very confident when he appeared, he didnt do much but he certainly didn't look out his depth, that is a massive game to come on in, could be top player in future if avoids injuries and keeps head on ground

Ars*nal don't look like they have the bottle to go the whole way.  I don't think they can handle the pressure of being title favourites. Over a billion quid spent by Arteta so there's enormous pressure on his shoulders already.  They came for a draw today and went home emptyhanded. Results and performances were better when they were the perceived underdog. I'm putting aside club rivalries here.... it's just my honest opinion.   And Gyokeres doesn't look like someone who can unlock a defence in such a high stakes game.

Arsenal should have taken the game by the scruff of the neck. Have to agree sofa. Same last season should have beaten both Citeh and Liverpool early last season to lay down the psychological marker. They failed miserably again.

I think Raya is a decent keeper but not a Championship winning one. I do not understand why Merino started over Eze.

Liverpool get Isak and let’s see if they get Guehi.

Same old same old.

in fairness the young 15 year old lad looked very confident when he appeared, he didnt do much but he certainly didn't look out his depth,

presumably he was put on the pitch to change the game not look good

no interest in who won norbert i was merely recognising the young lads achievement in making debut at such a young age, apologies if i wasn't clear on that

NP MALAY

Top clubs want to hold on to their very top academy talent. One way of doing that is showing that their is a pathway to playing in the premier league.

Arsenal were very upset that they lost Chido Obi and Heaven to United.

indeed norbert there has to be a pathway shown or you won't attract or keep the best young talent, but the young lad certainly didn't look like a rabbit in headlights, i certainly would have going into a fixture of that magnitude at 15

aargh double-spaced. I think that might've been me, LH. terrific free kick, fair play. Needs to perform more consistently, though imho.

Ok mate.  Slipped into the full back role quite well it seems.  I’m biased -he’s a fixture in my FF team.  . Ten pointer this week.
