And, we're off.....2016/17

Not sure they looked tired. Plenty of spirited running especially going forward but definitely lacked a killer pass and short of ideas up front

Just an opinion ref:thup:

Ozil may well as not be in the box defending for that winning goal. Made no attempt to attack the ball. Has to shoulder so blame for that.

He's still Arsenals best footballer.

Why are you singing a Celtic / Rangers / Spurs song?

 

[Liverbirdie]

Great 2nd half mate and what a finish,have not seen the replays yet but was there a penalty missed right at the end?

Certainly looked it in real time, but not after seeing the replays.

 

[Liverbirdie]

Yeah too young for Euro aways 70's but one of dads mates who was like an unofficial grandad went and came back with lumps and bumps all over his semi bald head. Utter mayhem by all accounts but then that was norm for most of our away games in those days!

Good to see someone knows his history.:thup: BTW, you were banned after it.

You know all about singing Celtic songs :thup:

got back in on appeal but had to play 200miles away from OT in the second leg. Celtic was not allowed as an option so 2nd leg was played at Home Park

I see whinging Wenger can only go on about and openly criticise Clattenburg afterwards, it will be interesting to see if he gets fined or banned, but don't hold your breathe though, the FA only pick on certain managers and clubs 😡

Big matches now tonight and there are some awkward away fixtures, so I can see City leapfrogging Liverpool and Spurs closing the gap on them, Arsenal have started their preparations early sliding towards their favourite finishing position, but I think they could slide a bit more as others strengthen in January when we all know Wenger won't 😜

To be fair I did see an interview where he gives Everton some credit although he said they treated it like a cup game.

Some good games coming up now and up to the new year we could see some big changes.

Karius dropped tonight, very surprised at that decision.

Hopefully Klopp has done it to try to protect him, Mignolet will be under massive scrutiny. I hope his kicking has improved...

He should be he will end up costing you points,however now that's a real slap in the face.

Imo Mig is better but neither inspires confidence and next season I expect both not to be a No1

Imo Klopp has just knocked his confidence but I'm only guessing,who knows what has been said.

The good news is for the teams around you and ones just behind as Klopp doesn't know his best team and cracks are starting to show

Doesn't know his best team ? How do you come to that conclusion ?

Well mate, to add grist to your mill, you only have to look at our bench tonight to see how much a lack of investment by the owners may cost us. Yep, we have a good few injuries at the mo, but you should have 22-25 minimum experienced players to start with. We've got a few injuries and 4 of our subs are teenagers.

Personally I would have thought it would have been better to persevere with Karius. Now the whole world will be watching Mignolet and murphys law he will do something silly tonight, is bound to happen.

It should be wins on paper for Chelsea, City, Liverpool , Utd and Spurs tonight, but as we all know football isn't played on paper

I don't think Mignolet offers anything different to Karius and its going to knock his confidence once he gets back in. It's definitely an area that Liverpool needed to have really addressed in the summer but haven't resolved it and I think the keeper and back four is the place where Liverpool will struggle especially if they get injuries and suspensions

It's too early to write Karius off, every player needs time and a chance to settle. The jury is definitely out but he could still turn out to be a great signing for them.

 

[Lord Tyrion]

I'd love him at Everton but if I was klopp I'd be going for Begovic in January. Waste of a cracking keeper sat on the bench.

Not writing him off but he's had a rocky start and dropping him so quickly won't help the confidence going forward. As I said I don't see what Mignolet adds and wonder if he could have been given more time
