Salah is having an amazing game

Who the hell at Chelsea decided him, kdb and rice weren't good enough

Ironically all 3 now the best player at each respective club in the title race no?

 

[Bunkermagnet]

Do Liverpool have any RB or lb available? Because their current rb needs hooking at half time he is being had on toast

For a 20 yr old, he isn't doing too bad, having only broken into the first team this season due to Trents injury.

Understandable but in the first half Brightons winger was going past him constantly.

It seems rather than take him off klopp has decided to charge full steam forward so it's not an issue as he doesn't need to defend anymore

 

[PJ87]

Fair play Liverpool came out all guns blazing second half

Great game tho

 

[Beezerk]

It’s a shame Brighton are a bit lightweight up top, they play some lovely football from defence to midfield but there’s not much to work with in the final 3rd.

With Mitoma and march out for the season it makes life difficult for our centre forwards as the supply isn't there ,Adringa can't do it by himself.
Oh and Brighton lost

Thought the manager lost it by taking off the winger on the left number 24

He had Liverpool's right back on toast and then bringing on that number 19 left back at the end? He gave the ball away more than anyone else

Arsenal's medical team have worked wonders

 

[Red scorpion]

Pretty idiotic by Gordon there

They've been like that for years now. A decent striker moves them up the table significantly. Strange that their recruitment elsewhere has been so good but there it's been sorely lacking.

Isn't that the kid Ferguson tho? Just got injured

 

[Lord Tyrion]

Yes but how many times has a player gone down holding his head and then refused treatment because he then has to leave the field.
Happens every game.

He wasn't stopping a move though, the whistle had already gone. I understand the ref not stopping play for that but play had stopped. WH weren't taking a particularly quick free kick so nothing there. Newcastle were stood waiting for the physio to come on and so weren't ready.

Too young to be reliable though. Good prospect, but still a prospect

 

[Pin-seeker]

Well this is a hard watch

 

[Swango1980]

That was an awful first half. Two teams who are clearly playing not to lose

 

[AmandaJR]

Makeshift defence yet Arteta parks the bus and they foul, disrupt and time waste from early doors. He never seems to trust his players against the big teams/in big matches. Until he does they'll keep falling short. Has he not seen how teams do when they go at us?

Not that we're doing much to take the game by the scruff of the neck either...

Not everyone can play like the villa against you

A city fan moaning about fouling and disrupting play


No doubt it’s clever game management when city do it

 

[BrianM]

How are Arsenal not having a go, as weak a Man City side as you will get.
Do they want to win this league!!

 

[Swango1980]

I'm assuming Jesus has a big bet on him getting booked
