Match 2: Arsenal (A)

[FrenchEyeGlass]

You have seen him as much as all of us. Stop talking shite you tit

 

Shut the fuck up you absolute cocksplash. I haven't replied to the personal insults but when a wanker like you doesn't stop, i'll gladly point out how much of a fucking prick you are.

 

I don't need to sit here and convince any of you how much I've seen of him, considering that half of my family are geordies, I think i know how much i've seen of both him and Carroll. You prick.

[PaulMcC]

Carroll isn't even serious about getting fit or wouldn't have been running about Glatonbury/Bumper/Ibiza/anywhere tht sells drink getting bladdered.

 

Someone needs to have a word and have him training twice as hard as everyone see til he gets fit.

best for us were adam' date=' kelly, enrique and henderson.

Adam was my man of the match. he opened them up a couple of times with defence splitting passes and is very tidy on the ball in midfield. The big thing with him is going to be how fit he can get. he's got all the attributes to be a quality midfielder but does he have the engine?

really ? i thought it was one of the worst games adam has played for us so far, i like him as a player but thought he was bobbins today

[withnail71]

Andy Carroll is so average its untrue. £35m, the barcodes must be pissing themselves.

We look so much better with Suarez and Meireles in the team, not just because we were against 10 men at that point. Downing looks like a superb signing, as does Enrique. Im afraid i just don't see what Comolli/Dalglish see in Henderson. Coady loooks a far better player to me.Carra did ok today, still prone to hoofing though. Agger looked assured as usual.Lucas was decent. 0-2 was a great result , but lets not kid ourselves, we played a poor Arsenal team today. The main positive to take today was not the three points, but the confidence that will come from the win.

So carroll is shite too now? I must be mistaken, I thought henderson played for Sunderland. Mind you a family of geordies would defo be neutral and pragmatic on a mackem player.

 

TWAT.

[Gym Beglin]

I don't think I've seen Carroll have a shot on thevdeck, othervthan the disallowed goal.

[Anny Road]

Carroll will be fine. He certainly looks trim to me.

What we have to figure is how to play our expansive style with him in the side.

When he and Suarez play together you will see a difference. We had no penetration with Andy on his own upfront. He needs a partner to run the channels and move center backs about a bit.

Kenny seemed to want Dirks defensive abilities today at least for the first 60 odd minutes. It worked.

[Phoenix]

He has the engine if he has somebody alongside him doing a bit of the running. He looks as lean as I've ever seen him, so it's not a fat issue. Might just need to work on his stamina and eating before the match.

 

When Alonso was here, he had Mascherano and Gerrard alongside him, and those both ran everywhere full pelt. Alonso covered a lot of ground, but not always at full pelt, so it gave him a bit more in reserve. Adam would benefit from the same sort of runners. Can't wait to see how he links up with Stevie.

 

To be fair Alonso was a different level. His positioning and making himself available for a pass was second to none. even keeping hold of possession.

 

This was poor game for Adam our midfield was non existent today. He just looked lost and drained of energy after the first 30 minutes.

 

Only two games but his fitness and positioning need to improve exponentially to have any sort of impact at liverpool. He didn't even have the delivery of his set pieces as saving grace today.

When did i say Carroll was shite? I just said i've seen him play a lot too.

 

And yeah, I DEFINATELY said that I took their opinion on the player. I just have a running interest in both Newcastle and Sunderland due to the rivalry which consumes half of my family. I hate Newcastle. Foolish boy.

[PaulMcC]

I know plenty of people who are carrying no weight who are really unfit.

 

I think Carroll can be a very good player for us but he needs to seriously work at his fitness. He's no excuse to not be fitter than he currently is.

I agree with every single word of that

[Unrighteous]

Now we've got a 0-2 at the Emirates... can we stop the negativity? Please? Pretty please? With a stripper's fanny on top?

[Liquid football]

Carroll has definitely lost weight so he has obviously been working.

[Lee909]

His first goal for us

[zigackly]

It's mental; reading the last couple of pages of this thread you might think we'd lost.

Err... You've watched Henderson move the ball around and you DON'T see what Comolli/Dalglish see in him? Right... Well that nullifies the emboldened part.

 

I don't even have to argue!

 

I agree with every single word of that

 

I'm afraid I'll have to tar you with his brush, as you don't see the potential in those two.

[Unrighteous]

I'm tempting to do another negging spree... but we just won 0-2 at the Emirates... and ... and its breaking my brain.

[usernameunknown]

Its amazing, Carroll is crap, Henderson does nothing, Lucas was shit, Carra just hoofed the ball and we've just won at Arsenal and they barely created a good chance. So weird.

 

Some people dont get any enjoyment out of football at all so you have to wonder why they bother.

[PaulMcC]

I think everyone is happy with the victory. If they aren't they might as well give up.

 

But we can still discuss the good/bad performances of individuals.

[Unrighteous]

I have actually been impressed with Henderson so far, I think his movement is really good, and he's energetic too. He's obviously a bit raw and still settling so I'm pleased with what I've seen and expect him to get much better too.

 

Seriously... Fucking SERIOUSLY... How are people NOT seeing this? HOW?!

Exactly. It seems the use of tactics at a notorious place to go seems lost on people.

[Red Lad]

Enrique was very good today. Never looked out of position or caught for pace against Walcott. That run he made in the first half was brilliant and his passing was very good.

 

Downing also continued his good form. Seems a very consistent player. Our left side looks very good now and such a change from Konchesky and Cole.

[Anny Road]

FFS 2 games we've played as a team. Its going to take some time and our skipper back before we see anything like the proper Liverpool.

Andy Carroll is a young lad making a massive leap. There will be problems with him but he will score oodles of goals. Kenny has got this one.

Henderson is one for the next 10 years. He is SG deputy. Will take a while but he has quality written all over his technique.

[PaulMcC]

I really wish we could keep Agger fit, too.

 

If he played regularly he'd be a really top centre half.

 

Never gonna happen, unfortunately.

[Anny Road]

I think we need a real goal hanger. A total goal scorer who will score 10 tap ins. A 30 year old who does not mind a bit of time on the bench. When you are 2-0 up get the lads off and throw on the poacher. Either that or Bobby Zamorra.
