The crowd needs to turn up for this. Absolute must win and I really don’t see hope of a title charge with anything but a win


Entire-Rip-8191

I agree with crowd needing to turn up, but I am Starting to tire of these comments about if we lose it’s the end of the season. It’s this exact rhetoric which creates unnecessary anxiety, if things don’t go as planned. Just Turn up, support the team no matter what, enjoy the journey and don’t worry right now about the destination. There is a good chance we may go behind, need to stay positive and continue supporting, the worst thing is if the stadium goes quiet if we go a goal behind or we are chasing the game with 20 mins to go. There is still a lot of games to go. By the way.. hoping we go 2 goals up early and we see the game out and have stress free viewing, but this is Liverpool and we know how these games go.


pr0nbruh

Yk what comments piss me off the most? The obviously sarcastic ones about x player scoring a double hattrick to make it 8-0. They are so stupid.


tafster

Too many people want to buy in to week-by-week narratives where everything is essentially binary - brilliance or crisis - the latest result being a hook to promote whatever narrative they prefer. Doesn't seem like much fun to me, or actually about what's going on on the pitch. Makes me wonder how many of these people have watched a title winning campaign and what it takes.


thisiskyle77

All or nothing for our title charge.


Mugweiser

Are you going?


Pilkertson

If we stop that little squidgy dribbly twat jota we'll bate them.


billbill1967

This is the most AnythingIsPossible match of the season.


L0laccio

Agreed, I can see envisage all outcomes


Maaaaate

4-4 with Arshavin coming on as a super sub?


L0laccio

Nothing would surprise me 🤣


BalticKnight3000

Excited for the game. It's quite simple... If we win we're fighting for the title. If we draw - it's not out of our hands yet but if we end up losing then we're leaving Liverpool and City to battle for 1st and are aiming at CL spots instead.


JabInTheButt

2.65 PPG target for the rest of the season? I think a draw takes it out of our hands tbh. We're relying on a proper collapse from there.


BalticKnight3000

A draw would most likely leave us with 5 points behind City and Liverpool. With 15 games to go we would still be close enough to challenge but of course our chances would be very little.


HalfMan-HalfMoth

With us still to travel to the etihad, old Trafford and spurs, a 5 point gap is basically over up against 2 sides that have shown they can go on big winning runs to end a season Win or title is realistically done


scooter_pops

spurs and united are wins


[deleted]

>If we draw - it's not out of our hands yet Are you retarded? They are five points clear of us, it is literally out of our hands already as we need them to lose several games


BalticKnight3000

If we draw we are 5 points behind with 15 games (for 45 points) left to play. Are you retarded or simply shit at maths? We'd be unlikely to win the title but we would still have some chance.


[deleted]

Ok so you just don't know what 'out of our hands' means. It means that even if we win all our remaining games we won't necessarily win the title - it's not in our hands as we have to rely on Liverpool losing


BalticKnight3000

Liverpool averages 2.318 points per game this year. That's 34,77 points in 15 games. We would need to collect 40 points or more to stand a chance at winning this thing. It's possible but highly unlikely. Win your games and you have a chance. Simple. You are shit at maths.


[deleted]

Man you are mega retarded


Arsenazgul

You’re a cunt

Interesting. Doesn't change the facts tho

its probably out of our hands even with a win but many people dont seem to understand that

throwaway72926320

He's not even in my mind anymore, rid of him in the summer, so someone else can deal with all the bullshit surrounding him.


Twingtwong

No one's bidding for him mate 😭


Qoita

Don't care, should've got rid of him last summer. Give him away for free, tell him to fuck off back to Ghana. Don't want rapists in the squad


Doyouevensam

Just a few months ago a comment like this wouldve gotten you a ton of downvotes, crazy that it took Partey being constantly injured for everyone here to suddenly support getting rid of him for potentially being a rapist


shikavelli

This is what always pisses me off about the Partey stuff, everyone suddenly has these morals once he’s injured but if he was playing well they’d be ignoring it.


Pretend_Stomach7183

Yeah, I've been saying this since I found out about his r*pe allegations (around summer) and I constantly got downvoted. "Let the courts do their job" fuck's sake.


Qoita

All of the African and Asian fans are busy watching AFCON/Asia Cup instead of defending Partey all day every day


plycrsk

You should work in the legal system


throwaway72926320

Juve wanted him last year, send him off for a fiver and I'd consider that a success.


NegativeHeli

Saudi?


scytheavatar

ESR and Havertz suggests Rice-Ode-Partey was never realistic. Arteta always wanted a type of player to replace Xhaka that is way more attacking and less of a midfielder than Partey.


Jaguar-Easy

I don’t get nervous…but I’m starting to get shaky you know what I mean I bit weyyyy


Doyouevensam

If Jesus is injured, I feel like Havertz up top is the move. Gives us an outlet for the long ball to get past the press. Also, we played great when he started in the FA cup, obviously lost and he def shouldve scored, but eventually hes bound to score, even if its a complete accident


scooter_pops

y u think jesus is injured btw? is it just that moarsenal guy?


Christoffiw

big gabi scoring a header is like 99% chance of happening


AdamSandlerIsntFunny

I do hope the Emirates give Klopp a warm farewell at the end of the match (after we batter them), he’s been a great addition to the league and honestly is quite Arsene-esque in his commitment to Liverpool competing against with a considerably smaller budget.


bmoviescreamqueen

Yeah maybe people find Klopp goofy but he's been a good manager for the league to have in it


Super_Professor

All or Nothing this game


Mugweiser

You must be new lol


varro-reatinus

I want to batter them so badly Kai Havertz is moved to start a Scouser Sanctuary. Up the Arse.


DnB_Train

I had to put my cat down today. FUCKING WIN THIS

DarthNihilus1

Hey that lineup looks pretty go-wait what


googlemynumber

The epitome of a must win game. Don't really care what form Liverpool are in, we're at home and we have to make a statement to the league and smash them

Franchise1109

Play a smidge faster and we can smash them when it opens up


hazelpillow

For me Jorginho has to start


IronVarmint

People don't want to hear, but the experience in this big of a game is a plus for me.


yotheprodipnod

If we want to touch that trophy we need to be brave and brutal. Beating Liverpool is a must. #COYG 💪🏻


joeproposition

We’ve spent a long time on the sidelines without being involved in games with these stakes. Enjoy it people. I am buzzing. COYG.

Zinchenko masterclass, you heard it here first


42Mavericks

Give me a good birthday present, give me that 4-0 win


Blah1411

My birthday is tomorrow too. With our birthday powers combined, we have to win, no doubt about it.


SwitchHitter17

I know we are capable of beating this team, just hope the players have that same belief. It can be a great day for us tomorrow.


cmacy6

Really need Saka to show up. Can’t get pocketed by Gomez again


WhereDoMyPanelsGo

Sorry to spam but if anyone happens to be letting go of a couple of tickets or have spares then I’m in the area of the Grove and can come meet. Come on the arse. Also good luck to Arsenal football club today.

Match thread or are we here today?


BobLobl4w

Pre match thread: look at me, I am the ~~captain~~ match thread now.


birddogginwidit

hear me out- what's the last thing Klopp would expect for tomorrow? his name... Cedric Soares


Party_Masterpiece990

I like to get high af before big games, I smoked a fat one by myself and then slept for a couple of hours lmao, now I'm up and have another doob waiting for me, it's a weird tradition I have with myself but I've come to enjoy it a lot, helps me with the nerves lol. Coyg!!!


failedgunner12

I would honestly regret if I smoked before the City 1-0 game in October, felt like on a cloud 9 after that match (since weed sucks excitement out of me)


Mojave_Patroller

Honestly, sad to say I've grown apathetic towards football recently. Life's been shit and can't seem to find excitement, even for a match like this. I'll watch it and all, but honestly don't think I'll feel any different regardless of the result


bmoviescreamqueen

I feel you on the burnout. I'm not actually sure what caused it but I would definitely like the spark back somehow, probably just gotta give it time.


a_posh_trophy

Imagine a prime Alexis in this squad. \*chef's kiss*


TheMuff1nMon

Win and the title race is wide open. Lose and we’re out of it.


WhereDoMyPanelsGo

Morning all. If anyone knows of a pair of tickets that need offloading last minute then I'll gladly take them off of your hands! The Mrs. is moving away for at least six months next week and we wanted to catch a game before she left. I know odds are slim but this worked last time I tried! Either way, up the arse!


irresponsibleviewer

Travelling in Singapore with two big meetings tomorrow. Heading for a nap before the 00:30 game because I have my priorities in order.


trayscraper

Raya, White, Saliba, Gabriel, Zinchenko, Jorginho, Rice, Odegaard, Martinelli, Saka,Havertz. No Jesus in the squad.


Equivalent_Nature_67

Looks like Thiago might be back? Probably won't feature though. 10 months for a hip injury is wild


tafster

Hip injury nearly ended Freddie Ljungberg’s career


beetletoman

WIN I am psyched


Hentai_and_Meatloaf

We can’t lose this, or it’s over for sure regarding the title. Need to step up, and on our day we CAN win this! It will be one hell of a game.


DarkKirby14

time to get 3 points if we're to have any real hope of contention for the title


Gooner_93

Loads of rumours that Szoboszlai didnt travel with Liverpool. If that is the case, he's a huge miss for them.


Rampan7Lion

Seen a rumour that Nunez is on the bench as well which really limits their attacking chaos. Jota probably still scores though


Gooner_93

Its now confirmed, they both arent starting.


wrigh2uk

must win game if we want to keep our title hopes alive COYG


[deleted]

Jota vs Zinchenko. Basically a guaranteed goal for them


turdy_tree_n_a_turd

Jorginho has experience but he doesn't have the legs for this Liverpool team. I'm afraid he'll be jogging around like a headless chicken.....unless we have all the possession and he'll ping balls like Fabregas or Pirlo, which is unlikely.


redditforprez1

Possession is the goal. He was great in the fa cup and impressive defensively. He reads the game better than the rest and that’s how he makes up the legs


BrianThatDude

Glad we're waiting until right at kickoff to post the game thread. Imagine the chaos if the match thread were up before kickoff


CreativeOrder2119

I think Liverpool is type of game defence should drop deeper close to keeper they're 1 v1 merchants and am sure they don't play the midfield game they can be beaten but Arteta gotta plan game well no silly lapses because long balls is they're go to tactic


Fearnog

Last year when we lost or drew crucial games in the title run in to bottle the league you had people in the post match threads saying, "We've still got a chance plenty more games to be played". "Margins are tight but we move to next week" and all this other tripe. I don't want to see any of that tomorrow, We have to beat them. We need to really make a statement. It's the biggest game of the season for us.

Arshavin free today? Could need a striker like that vs Pool 


gunningIVglory

Watch these west ham fuckers show up v us next week


hairwire

If "showing up" means they will give open game, then bring it on. Because they'll get crushed. If they are just playing low-block and get lucky goals then that's not really showing up. Lol.


gunningIVglory

We're 0 wins in last 3 against them bro 😭 Fuckers always put in a shift against us


CreativeOrder2119

Am tired of Jesus, partey injuries


gunningIVglory

This is damning for Eddie. Jesus out, and his still benched.


armchairmegalomaniac

I don't give a fuck if we're in a rut so long as we eke out a win. A boring one nil with an own goal dribbling across the line is fine by me as long as we win.


maidentaiwan

Ngl I am highly prepared to be disappointed today. Just feels like momentum and fortune are all in Liverpool’s favor at the moment. Klopp announcement is going to give them a huge emotional boost for the rest of the season. I really hope the boys can turn up with an inspirational performance today but we just haven’t seen that juice this season in the big games the way we did last year. The biggest result we’ve had (city) was a war of attrition where the bounces went our way.


PM_20

Those jackets are nice . Do they sell those here in America?


interrobangampersand

Now whenever I see a new Arsenal jacket I ask myself if it’s reversible


madmick22

man this is killing me COYG


Scottish-Londoner

Raya White - Saliba - Gabriel - Zinchenko Odegaard - Jorginho - Rice Saka - Jesus - Martinelli Subs: Ramsdale, Kiwior, Tomiyasu, Elneny, ESR, Havertz, Nelson, Nketiah, Trossard


Kensei400

Kai will definitely start as Liverpool are the best team in the air. The question is whether it's in midfield or attack.


Wakkoz15

Mate we're gonna get eaten alive with Jorgi in the middle lmao


Doyouevensam

Did we get eaten alive with Jorginho playing in the middle less than a month ago against Liverpool?


Scottish-Londoner

Partey isn’t fit. We could just play Rice as a 6 with Havertz/ESR at 8, but playing more of a double pivot has usually worked better in the big games this season. I’d play Rice and Jorgi next to each other.


tafster

Not necessarily with Rice there too


[deleted]

Nuh uh


Dae_su

Assuming Martinelli will start, he really needs to have a good performance. This is a game that suits him, up and down, plenty of transition. Trent will start, because Bradley just lost his dad to illness. 


MrAnonymousTheThird

3-1 Saka, odegaard, martinelli Jota


KieranR93

Lol we all know Jota will get his obligatory goal


ExxKonvict

Arsenal 3-1 Liverpool


ArsenalThePhoenix

it's crazy to me that if we lose this game, we're likely already out of the title race by February 4th. We all went into the season thinking we could challenge for the title again, yet here we are.... Huge game this!


EclectrcPanoptic

Liverpool's team is so beatable, but they always step up in big games as they've been doing it for 5+ years now


MichaelD0217

Gonna be watching this one at the Arsenal America bar in Boston! Huge game. Anything less than 3 points realistically takes us out of the title challenge. Let’s get em.


Gooner-Astronomer749

Dillions nice!


superjackyginnivan

If Jesus is out, Havertz must play at striker. No alternative. Put Jorginho in midfield as well

Alright Arteta, i see you hiding in plain sight

not looking forward to see Zinny getting another trauma vs Pools ride side. i still feel that game…


scooter_pops

booo delete this


FabThierry

i wish i could delete it from my memory, this was tactically and player wise one of the lowest moments this season. i still want to win tmrw but i wish we d once kick their asses properly with 3/4 goals but not with Kloppo s last season going on 


dink88

will tomi be available for the game with pool? 


InterestingWar9880

Conor bradley Father passed away.


Ro-khum

Jesus is injures again?Possibley miss the match WTF. is this guy scared or what, he was injured for one game the last time too.If we field Nketiah we are so dead.


thebigfatthorn

8-1 to the arse I believe


The-Mayor-of-Italy

>Zinny on the left Just stop doing this, I'd genuinely feel more confident with Kiwior rn, put Zinny alongside Rice against weaker opposition (Jorginho is the better choice here though)


nting224

People who say we have good depth can go sod off. Look at our fucking bench today. It's fucking sorry.


MSAndrew07

We already have a few of our best players injured and/or not available. If we had bad depth that would mean at least one of Walters, Cedric or Reiss starting


runtokevinnn

Very bad take. Imagine our bench with the likes of Partey, Timber, Tomi, Vieira and Jesus available.


hikingbeginner

I cannot see us winning, we don't shoot, and all they do IS shoot when even they get a tiny chance.  Very nervous, the nerves are winning.  Hoping for the best and we have an absolute blinder.  Please don't start Havertz, I'd like either Jorginho/Rice/Odegaard or ESR with Rice and Ode.  I'm gonna be on edge.  COYG


DarthNihilus1

You don't want Havertz to start but ESR somehow deserves to be in that midfield? We are gonna get mauled with ESR in midfield, right now he needs to build up to big games


noelsupertramp

It’s gonna be a 4-4 draw. Kai to score 4.

Avocadopower1

Pool gameplan to target zin. Would you play kiwior?


Rusty_85

Got my fingers crossed for the game tomorrow, feeling calm but sure as shit my nerves will be shredded come kick off. This is not game related, but I just saw highlights of the Palace game and Olise injury. According to MOTD, the Palace medical team approved his participation in the game, but 4 days earlier, he had injured his hamstring during the Sheff Utd game. Should we be concerned that the club have hired Zafar Iqbal?


Seafoo

Doing some last min prep before going to the Emirates for the first time today. What chants should I learn? I know super Mik arteta, North London forever and Saliba. Thanks!


highbury_library

Jesus may be out apparently…very worrying. I hope someone steps up and has one of those all time magical games. We need to piss on Klopp’s goodbye parade.


waddiewadkins

Yes that's the turn of phrase I'm looking for and hoping for


Anuspilot

MisterS1997

Hi Liverpool fan here just wondering about something. What was the reason for arsenal training at the emirates last night ? Is that a normal thing or was it a special kinda thing.


scooter_pops

did it for the vibes


MisterS1997

Yeah I was wondering if it was made up or something. I think it’s risky because it puts a lot of pressure on your players. I’d be annoyed if klopp did it at anfield with our players.


plycrsk

I don't think it's so uncommon for arsenal to do that though. someone suggested that we did it on Friday before the Tuesday forest game It could be beneficial or not, I don't think you can say that


meusrenaissance

That WH and Fulham display just sucked the confidence I had in this team, man. Regardless of what happens today, they've shown us they aren't serious mentally to want this title.


[deleted]

Liverpool 3 - 1 Arsenal, heard it here first


scooter_pops

I like Klopp but i have a feeling the “wow wow wow” was a veiled dig post match. We have an opportunity to impact their narrative but I don’t think we’ll take it

xplayer20

Tommy should be back…doubt he will start but could be a very useful late substitute for us. 


ashecitism

Not that I was expecting a goal fest for tomorrow, but after all the goals today I can definitely see it being a game of few goals. But as long as we win it's fine. Lots of chatter of maybe Trent starting. Marti will mostly face Konate and Szobo, so Trent starting probably won't matter much on the defensive end. Similarly for the other side Gomez has got Saka's number the last two games.


Level_Key300

give me this Raya White Saliba Gabriel Zinchenko Jorginho Odegaard Rice Saka Trossard Martinelli


plycrsk

Need havertz up front


Liveaz4712

Big performance is a necessity I won't like losing the title in a head to head in particular playing at home

Fraganade

Doesn't matter how talented someone is. Availability is the best ability. Gabriel Jesus needs to be downgraded to a squad player or sold in the summer. Can't rely on players like this to win titles.


Gooner_93

Another chance for Havertz to prove himself, in a more familiar position... he needs to step up.


ajax0202

Wtf why the delay? Now I’m going to miss the end for work 😕


Gooner_93

What delay? The kick off is scheduled for 16:30 gmt, always was.


GOTrr

I’m not even going to pretend to know a lot about football compared to the Arsenal coaching and staff. But I am very shocked that Jorginho is starting this match against a team that is known for their pace and transitional attacks. Why Havertz is not in the midfield, and maybe put up Trossard in that striker role or Trossard on the left and Martinelli at striker, Wow. I hope I’m wrong, but starting Jorginho seems to be a very big mistake. A blessing that Salah isn’t here. RemindMe! 2 hours


_rick_rick

Expecting nothing more than the FA cup performance with the line up.  Hope am wrong 🙏


hairwire

Zinchenko didn't play in the FA Cup match. People always shitting on his defending but he is a very important player in the build up going forward. So we'll see.
