I think what I meant to say is the increased amount of games, with champions league, where we’ll need quality rotational options that Arteta has faith in. Even in group stage don’t think we’d get away with the likes of lokonga, tavares etc

stupid asshole if we win the league take your medal and get lost
Yeah - he should be on bench from next season on.
I’ll be coming for edu if this situation isn’t sorted by summer.

Let’s be fucking honest though, we couldn’t have put Viera in could we today.

Think the move was to put Zinny further up and Tierney to LB

That moment shouldn’t have been so big but it was the turning point. He lost his head for a second looking for retribution. Concede a goal 15 seconds later. Momentum shifted and it was uphill from then on.

I thought so at first but I saw a fresh Tiereny get eaten up by Salah who had played 75+ minutes by the time he stepped on the pitch.
Xhaka is our longest serving player and this is his first decent season, which says all you need to know about him.
He might be less of a liability than in previous seasons but still has an edge to him which could lead to mistakes and cost us points.
He’s fine as cover but can easily be upgraded.

Agree. Should be his last season as first team player.
Good back up player for Carling Cup or meaningless fixtures in CL (if there are any)

I think he thought that, at 2-0 up, he could get in their heads and wind them up with his shithousery, but it completely backfired. You don’t do that at Anfield, and with a young team challenging for the title.

The ridiculous thing is he should’ve had a free kick seconds earlier when konate bundled him over. Shit ref having consequences.

He never does this and it’s annoying AF
Xhaka still has a lot of goodwill built up but it’s just senseless what he did today, away from home at Anfield 2-0 just keep your head and see it out until HT, don’t give them an excuse to feed on that atmosphere which was dead and buried at that point

He wasn’t at fault for the goal, idk why people are blaming him for that first goal. If it were any other player this weird meta analysis doesn’t happen.

Not directly but his antics with TAA didn’t help us after we had done a great job silencing the inbreds in the crowd.
