      I think it’s safe to assume that losing or even drawing this would be catastrophic considering our league form.

      Arsenal flying with Jesus up top who by the way has a good record against us.

      Emmanuel Petite in the media lately absolutely slating us and Trent - put those quotes on the changing room wall Jürgen!

      Have we won away from home this season? I’m not sure we have. Can see this being a horrible game unfortunately, however you never know - could this be the moment we finally click?

      Midfield is key here, can’t let Arsenal breath. Front three need to press, and be clinical in front of goal. It’s going to be a tough one.

      We can get something here. We have to stay tight, defend as a team but hit them fast and hard when we get a chance. I'd start Nunez.

      1-2.

      The arse will come at us at 100 miles an hour, we better be prepared or it will be like Brighton only far worse as arsenal are much better and far more attacking players. Klopp joked about a 4-6 formation it might not be a bad idea. :D

      Hang on lads, who the F**k are Arsenal ?  Arteta has them purring for sure but C’mon we all know on our day we would wipe the floor with them, or any other Cnut for that matter, yes we’re having a bit of a mare season of late but I felt we had turned a corner V Brighton and further round it V Rangers, with a slight tweak using 4-2-3-1,
      Arteta has a problem, cos he doesn’t know which Liverpool is likely to turn up, his charges impressive as they have been, know only one way of playing, and have yet to be tested properly with a like minded attacking side,

      If your Arteta, how many eggs will you put in your attacking basket, if he decides to go gung ho and attack us Willy Nilly he’ll get his fingers burnt, and he knows it, I’m hoping he does so we could see a goal fest, if and only if we play 4-2-3-1, tbh, going back to 4-3-3 I think we’ll get slaughtered, Arse have rumbled others setting up against this formation and I feel we’d play into their hands if we did,

      So for me we fight fire with fire and see who comes out on top, we have to take the game to them and psychologically put them in their place, for me this is a free hit, no one is expecting us to win, everyone will want us to lose, if we win it’s another step in the right direction, if we lose it’s probably the end of our title challenge for this season, nobody wants that obviously but it is what it is and no point crying over it, we just get on with it, keep winning and see where we end up, this season is already a F**k up what with the Dodgy WC bollocks, most top sides will have their rhythm totally fu**ed over the WC break so anything can happen??

                                                                   Allison
                                                      Trent   Matip Virgil Kostas
                                                            Hendo    Fabinho
                                                        Salah     Jota     Diaz
                                                                    Nunez

      Bench; Adrian, Gomez, Konate, Elliot, Thiago, Bajcetic, Bobby, Milner, Ramsey, Raisbeck


      Torn between Thiago and Fab, went for Fab for extra protection, and introducing a fresh legged Thiago against tiring gooner legs could prove a master stroke, especially if it’s as tight as a mermaids hymen or in need of a deciding factor, Bobby on too would be advantageous probably for Jota, and Elliot could also prove useful last 15 or so,

      Not many will fancy us taking anything from the Emirates but not f***in me, like I mentioned we’ve turned a corner, it’s up to us now and I think we will deliver a nice kick up Arteta’s scrotum!!


      2-3 Mighty Redmen

All the torment from the deserved criticism will be brought down upon the Gunners with great vengeance and furious anger, and those who attempt to poison and destroy all that is holy upon the high alter of the Kop....and you will know my name is Klopp when I lay my vengeance upon thee.

      I think we’re gonna come out high press high tempo and turn these over.
      Their recent form, our indifferent start and them at home. They gonna be so confident, even complacent.
      Think they gonna get a big shock at a rejuvenated Liverpool and we will go on and win 1:2

      I desperately hope he can make it to. If Fab snd Hendo sitting deep is the answer, I don’t think young Harvey is a strong enough option to replace Tiago. Not sure if anyone else who would fit in there is fit 🤷‍♂️

      I also think Bob should be involved at some stage with the form he’s in. But not just a 5 min cameo.
      Subs used to be included in the 90 mins, but refs add on time for subs now, so unless they are given time to make an impact, (20 mins at least) it’s a wasted exercise.

      Wouldn't be surprised to see Boss revert back to his tried and trusted 4-3-3: Ali, Trent, Konate,VVD, Kostas,Hendo,Fabinho,Thiago,Mo,Nunez,Diaz.

      Just the Nunez position the only issue, might go with Bobby or Jota.

      Arsenal are flying right now and at the minute we seem to have a habit of making even the most mediocre teams look great.

      I’m going to go for 3-3.

      Wouldn't be surprised to see Boss revert back to his tried and trusted 4-3-3: Ali, Trent, Konate,VVD, Kostas,Hendo,Fabinho,Thiago,Mo,Nunez,Diaz.

      Just the Nunez position the only issue, might go with Bobby or Jota.

      If Thiago is out, Jota for Thiago in 4231 and you've got it.

      Not at all confident today. We look tired and leggy in every game we play as if it’s the end of the season, not the start. I think the number of games last season along with the aging squad has finally caught up. Arsenal on the other hand look full of zip and confidence. A win today might just kick-start the season for us and give us confidence. A loss will just cement how far we have dropped.

      I so want to shut up all these dead head pundits that have wrote off this season for us. We have lost one game this season and over the past season we have lost less than UTD lost last season.  Defensively we are up there with City ,Chelsea and Spurs so we will start taking our chances and winning games for fun starting today.

      Id love us to turn around our form and put in a great winning performance to shut up all the sh*te pundits who've written us off, but I wouldn't care if it went like the 2001 cup final and we got battered, and nicked it in the 90th minute.

      I would love to agree but we look unbelievably vulnerable at the back at the moment. The risk / reward balance isn’t right just yet - hope we can put that right today

      Think this might be the perfect opposition for us at this point. Arsenal are bang in form right now but we are a better team than them and we have a chance today to answer our critics and get our confidence back. Thiago is key as always so hopefully he’s fit.

      This feels like a game mourinho at Chelsea or ferguson at united would walk off snarling after winning a game after being written off all week etc and had their managment/team questioned.

      I don't see it today unless we just magically pull a performance out of the bag. Looking at our form this season I only see a heavy defeat today. I get no pleasure obviously saying that. Just trying to be honest. We need to stand up today, show some pride and show how we've been hurt and come out and show em.

      Big game for them too. They are flying and being tipped to finish 2nd to city. They are expected to win today so let's see how they deal with it. It would help if we actually start the game not looking like we just got woke from a deep coma.

      Well the odds don't reflect your 'expected to win' scenario. bout 6/4 them..13/8 us. It's a hard one to call, we will fight and battle through this relatively barren spell. I hope he plays Nunez, some positive stuff coming about him and he could be a matchwinner. So I'm not knocking us I think we will put in a strong showing. Very close I'm calling a 2-1 win.

      Listen mate it's pretty simple. Only the form we have produced under Jürgen for the past few years will do today.

      If we pitch up looking like we just got thrown out of the 051 at 3am and just stand there milling around from the start like we have in pretty much all the games this season we are getting a hiding. Let's see what they've got ... because this season , which is all that matters, we've not shown much. I make arsenal heavy favourites today. I think the odds are quite generous to us.

      We can sit here all day spouting we've only lost once. I'm sorry but Fulham, Palace, Bournemouth, Brighton, Everton etc is not a tough start. We've only had 2 games and we lost one of those and fell over the line against Newcastle.

      The big thing for me is the press have really gone after us. I want to see something from us today. I want to see some anger, some determination and I want to see some pride ... a 90 minute performance regardless of the result.

      First time in a long time under Jürgen that we go into a game as firm underdogs. Arsenal have been excellent so far and even the game they lost at United, they played really well.

      We will have to play significantly better than we have done in recent weeks to get a result here.

      Agree. I thought they did enough to beat utd. But missed chances and lapse at the back cost them. They have been strong at home this season.

      I'm just interested how we play. If we play well they will have to be on it to beat us. If we play like we have been the game will be over after 30 minutes and it could get embarrassing. Brighton should have been 5 up after 30 last week. That's Brighton at anfield and we could have had no complaints.

      I've not seen any confirmation he's travelled. I don't expect to see him today to be honest. And if he is injured I'd be surprised to see him again this month.

      Where did the rumour start anyway? Purely based on training photos?

      this is what the media tell us but the reality is we have let in 9 goals less than Chelsea less than Spurs same as City etc. To quote a well known ex Liverpool Manager just check out the "Facts". 3 goals against Brighton didnt help and the 4 against Napoli but in the league we are OK its goals we are missing

      It’s not just our defenders that needs to up their game, if they get s bit of cover from the midfield things would improve massively.
      That’s why I think young Harvey shouldn’t be involved. He’s good at what he does, but that doesn’t include much defensive strength.
      I know we get lots of cover from Bob in that respect, but will he start instead of Jotta or Nunez 🤷‍♂️

      I suppose if our chances created, all hit the back of the net, we win most of our previous 7. Brighton excluded.

      Ah OK. Well as controversial as it maybe I stand by the fact that thiago along with Jones keita and Ox should all have been shipped out this summer just gone. The last 3 are not good enough and complete liabilities. Thiago on his day is a wonderful footballer ... but you just can't keep him on the pitch and that is sad. No disputing his quality but across a 38 game campaign you'll be lucky to get 20 appearances out of him.

      If he is out then I'd play fabinho and Henderson infront of the back 4 ... cavalho or Elliott infront of them with jota up top in-between salah and Diaz.

      Come on Reds for F**k's sake! No F***ing excuses, just go out there and F***ing fight! Just F***ing fight!

      Arsenal have always been susceptible to being bullied against the big teams. United and Chelsea have been bullying them for years! They may have extremely gifted talents but they don't have any backbone. They are mentally weak and we have to expose that weakness.

      The question that needs to be answered is do these boys want to fight? When you pull that shirt on you must be prepared to give everything you have for this Club.

      Where's the passion? Where's the desire? Where's the will? Where's the fight?

      If i see all of the above i can forgive a draw or defeat, i'm just not seeing it right now.

      What i am seeing is a bunch of entitled spoilt brats who think they no longer have to put the same amount of effort in to remain one of the best teams in the world.

      The second you drop a gear or ease that throttle you will be left behind. You don't go from title contenders to Europa League candidates by suffering a blip or becoming tired.

      You are professional athletes who are paid handsomely to represent the best Club in the world!

      Now stop feeling F***ing sorry for yourselves and F***ing man up! This is Arsenal for fucks sake! Go out there, fight like warriors and F***ing batter these cu*ts!

      Praying for the boys.

      Godspeed!
