Midweek Football 27-28th October *Spoilers*

[jakeke]

Can't see the Arsenal squad that Wenger has named winning tonight.

 

[BFCTom]

I presume you meant 3 or 4 as Utd did score 2

(to be fair Utd could have scored 6 or 7, and they had 2 or 3 reasonable / decent chances)

No, 2 would have taken it to extra time and we'd have had a chance against 10 men. 3 would have won it for us.

We had plenty more chances than Man U, but Bogdanovic and Hammil couldn't hit a barn door. Foster (Steve not Ben) won 2-3 headers from corners too that could have easily lead to goals if they were on target.

The game was there for the taking imo.

The Arsenal game's on Sky Sports 1, not 2 as their own website says.

Yeah the defence looks very worrying.

lmao Man United fans nicking food from the Barnsley stand and money and the kiosk staff locked themselves in a back room

Liverpool 11:
----------Cavalieri
Degen-Skrtel-Kyrgiakos-Insua
Kuyt--Spearing-Plessis--Babel
-------Voronin-N'Gog

Aquilani's on the bench.

Really highlights how poor our depth in midfield and attack is. What has Pacheco got to do?

 

[BaZ87]

What has Pacheco got to do?

Not be injured or away on international duty

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

Not be injured or away on international duty

Why's he away on international duty if he's injured. It makes no sense

 

[CliffyG]

Looking at the Liverpool team it may well be a bit closer than i thought.

 

[Weebull]

Bendtner, Nasri and Eastmond (who?) start, Watt and Coquelin demoted to the bench. Strikes me we're playing four midfielders and two forwards. 4-4-2? Or is Merida pushing up?

 

[CliffyG]

I think Merida was played nearer the front in the last couple of games hes been in. Is Frimpong starting? I understand hes a DM.

 

[Weebull]

Nah, Ramsey is instead, so either he or Nasri will be in the DM role I'd guess.

EDIT: Woo, fat boy is reffing.

 

[CliffyG]

Yeah just spotted the team sheet, would have thought Nasri would be on the wing tonight.

 

[Weebull]

Wenger seems to pick Nasri's position purely at random every game, so I'm never sure. Looks like he's on the left of the midfield three tonight though. Merida up front on the left, Bendtner right, Ramsey DM.

 

[Weebull]

Oh Nick, why is your first touch so poor sometimes.

EDIT: Woop, 1-0! Merida from almost nothing.

 

[djmc0]

That was like watching Fabregas! What a goal!

 

[Nossmayo]

Pick it out! Nice strike there.

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

Great pass by Voronin
