Way to go Gooners. That's not how I thought yesterday's game was gonna go. Not at all, on current form.

Ugh, had to be nasty gut punch. From a Spurs point of view the game reminded me of Liverpool losing the Europa League final a couple years back, what with scoring the first goal and then being overtaken. You have my sympathies. Juve have some bad hombres. Barzagli and Chiellini are just...

What's the latest on Son's military service? Because he already drops big ass bombs. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">&#55356;&#56816;&#55356;&#56821;: Talks about dropping bombs. Does nothing.<br><br>&#55356;&#56816;&#55356;&#56823;: Says nothing. DROPS...

Ha. Yeah, it probably wasn't the most exciting spectacle the paying public at Anfield had ever seen, but the performance got the job done and a number of first-choice players were able to rest. This Liverpool fan was pleased. And yeah, Man U/Liverpool this weekend is likely to be a...

Yeah, I'm not able to watch it much, but I follow it casually via a couple of soccer podcasts I listen to (do you listen to Jim Richardson and James Horncastle? They are great on Serie A), and it sure sounds like Serie A is the best league in Europe this year in terms of interesting races both...

Yeah that clip is a perfect example: if you don't take the right first touch, great speed won't be enough for you, at least against a savvy defender. Kompany looked like a safety on that one: read it all the way over the top and got the angle on Auba. I haven't watched yesterday's Arsenal/City...

Liverpool stars Mane, Salah, Firmino should unity beats individuals Interesting stuff from Michael Cox. The Guardian Football Weekly guys made similar comments about the Real/PSG game in the Thursday show, i.e., it was actually a really crappy game of soccer because neither team really plays...

I totally agree that any club who has been paying close attention to Liverpool this year should look at it exactly that way. With Coutinho gone, Liverpool are probably worse than ever at breaking down a deep-defending team. But against teams that want to come out and push forward...

Ha, nicely done. That's really the thing, isn't it? Both parts of this post ring true. Liverpool haven't been in a Champs League knockout stage since 2009, and fans of clubs like Bayern, Juve, Real, and Barca, who are regular Champs League powerhouses, will all probably expect their clubs...

Citrus slaughter in Portugal!!! Love it for the Reds. I'm hoping that hat trick gets Mane back to his best. He has scored a few goals in recent weeks but for the most part has struggled to get on track and in sync with the rest of the team. This tweet annoys me: <blockquote...

Interesting. I've often wondered about this. Weather would present a challenge for parts of the league. I mean, you can't play soccer in the zero-degree weather Chicago is having right now, for example. But maybe MLS could have a winter break, a la the Russian league, which I believe shuts...

I agree, and it worries me a bit as a Liverpool fan that Liverpool only seem able to reliably create good chances by counter-pressing to force/capitalize on opponents' mistakes. We aren't creating enough good chances with pure attacking play; the front 3 looked out of sync for most of the day...

I'm still not over the second penalty in Liverpool/Spurs. This is from the FA website: There was nothing careless about VVD's attempt to kick the ball. He had no idea Lamela was there. In fact, when VVD looked up for the ball, Lamela WASN'T there; Lamela initiated the contact by sliding...

Wow Arsenal ...

He's got a great goal-scoring record, but you make a fair point. Is he really what Arsenal need? I'm not sure he is. They already have quality up front. It's early to give up on Lacazette, and I think of Auba as a player who duplicates him. The reaction to the signing is probably out of...

Arsenal have huge problems at the back right now, but that attack ... Ozil and Mkhitaryan behind Aubameyang?? Yes please.

I think Rogue meant FSG? As in Fenway Sports Group, which owns Liverpool and has let Liverpool's best player go to Barca without bringing in a replacement. Liverpool have most of the pieces they need, but they just don't have the spark at the moment. Lallana is hurt and I'm never been...
