"mushroomscouser67 Does not know what he is talking about. Lucas didn't put a foot wrong. He and Gerrard worked well together. Lucas has NOT had any poor performances! The mistake was taking off Sturridge. Yes we needed to stop Walcott and we did with Enriquie."
"You can always rely on some people to be unreasonable and thankfully our online fans never lets us down in that regard. When someone can't tell the difference between Anfield and the Emirates, there's nothing more you can say..."
"Indeed, I wonder if it would be better to stop comments completely. Too many immature posters and trolls from other clubs. Can't be encouraging for any players who read them."
"Lucas, you are wrong! play deep and not trying to kill the game when we were 2-0 up has been what made Arsenal get on level and almost win the game! I see the outcome of the clash more as 2 point lost than 1 point gained. Second half was awful, we have to be sincere!"
"It is easy to be judgemental and negative but it is nobler to be gracious and acknowledge the good effort put in by the boys. What is required of the fans is total support for the team. After all we are the 12th player."
"It was a good game, good effort on a very diffecult venue. Hope to see more of the same. Arsenal are always a great side, you just don't go there and expect to be rewarded for everything you do. Liverpool were excellent and the lads made us proud."
"There are a lot of people here that blog more than they actually should. Most of these people did not see the game and should not comment on it. The reason Arsenal got back into the game is what I think, our side lost consentration when it got the second goal. But that happens, thats football... as long as you can put a finger on it you can not question a performance like that."
"are you kidding me.are you lads really proud of that perfomance?we let arsenal come to us and hope to catch them with counter attack.we hardly put 5 passes together.they fought for the ball more than we did.by sitting back we played into their strenghts. continued...."
"what happened to tika-tika,what happened to high pressing game?all we ever try to do is to pass the ball back to Reina.even when we got some counter-attacking opportunities we just wasted them.except for the fact that we scored 2 goals,this must be one of the worst game i have seen LFC play"
"Mushroom, dont let Liverpool FC be the excuse for you therapist fees. Lighten up dude, the team played well, its not easy to get anything at the Emirates. YNWA"
"mushroomscouser67,you can,t understand the modern game cause you failed to appreciate Lucas.He was the only one making tackles,interceptions.he also was distributing well.How can you expect the team win big games playing with those mediocre players Wisdom,Henderson,Downing.."
"if we going with the same "right mentality" to Etihad,then we might come back with less than 1 point.the right meantality is to believe you are the best and play every game to win,not sit back and invite teams to have a go at you.having a bad game is part of football,but 2 have players and the manager thinking is the best game we ever played is very dissapointing."
"we need a differnet game plan "mentality" completely when we go to Man City.i'm glad Coutnho came through,we need someone who makes things happen.our own David Silva,Whilshere or Mata...i hope he get fit soon and help us as we strive for a CL place"
"It was pleasing to see that we can actually defend and frustrate a home team. Our greatest weakness this season has been not being resilient away from anfield. To go two up was great - shows we can nick a goal. We had defended set pieces well up until giroud's goal and walcott's goal just needed someone to put the boot in. But I'd have taken a point at the start. Cont..."
"On individuals, carra was brilliant - definitely his type of game. True leader! Lucas was ok but he seems half a yard off the pace of his pre-injury form and Henderson's engine is still burning well but he takes a split-second longer in each pass than he should. His goal highlighted a side if him I wish he'd show more often - confident drive with purpose. Overall, decent result at a tough venue"
"For those who say this was the wrong game plan, did you ever stop to think what a fluent arsenal love to play against at home? Teams who leave space. Liverpool went out and showed resilience in abundance - something we've rarely seen in the last few years and certainly not this season. Something to be positive about."
"eUSEBIO - you hit the nail on the head. We need to defend crosses much better, cut them out from source and high balls coming in to teh central defenders. We need a better right back defensively and we need a commandingn centre back.."
"shelloz...if you think last night was playing well it is you that needs the therapist. The football has been poor all season. Hence being knocked out of every cup and looking unlikely to qualify for Europa.But then,I bet your neighbor doesn't tell you "There are two teams on Merseyside, Everton and Everton reserves"."
"Liverpool were good I think taking Daniel off was wrong and put him in centre didnt benefit him.
We did play to deep in our own half instead brecking there monrale wit 2 goals up
and the Ref and linesmen were terrble to give free kick over welshere falling over the ball"
"
SGM 73- Mate, your not a very happy bloke when you come on here... I understand your frustrations as well. Rise above it though. No-one worse than me, I offered to punch Buddha's lights out before such was my anger. But that's what people want- a reaction"

"but we forget that they have been playing that way for years though it was a good guide on how we have progressed we could of won that game in the first half and as for the team sitting deep you are never going to go to arsenal and out pass them come on guys think about what your writting "
"Agree with mushroomscouser67 regarding Lucas performance was poor... He is still not back to the level he was before his injury... Arsenal midfielders seemed a step ahead of him for most of the game... Arsenal's equalizer comes from him not tracking Walcott... he leaves Walcott to try to win the ball but misses which then creates a 2 on 1 against Agger... but I think BR should not have subed DS..."
"Obviuosly "Anfield" in the opening comment refers to the clubs home and hence where its mentality lies. Not last nights game. To have to point that out speaks volumes about some who pass high and mighty judgement on others opinions."
"is this really the new standard of LFC. the team does not know what to do when take the lead. there not sure if they are supposed to attack or defend."
"I would like to point out to some of you that counter attack and a defensive aproach to a team with speed like Arsenal is a very effective approach.. ManU do this all the time, this is the way Morinho likes his teams to play. I think Brendan was spot on, anyone who sais gong ho is the way to go against Arsenal has not got a CLUE.."
"The Team played well last night. I was as disappointed as everyone when Arsenal drew level but before the start I'd have welcomed the point, so well done lads. Shut the critics up and get the three points at City. YNWA"
"we always uncomposed against a top team and then play tiki taka against small teams, we cant pass the ball under pressure, eg Stoke, Arsenal, manure, oldham etc. Is it an inferiority complex or just that you lads dont get proper training at melwood? it is six months now, they should be all know BR's style of play by now."
"Swansea went there, out played Arsenal and won there 2 goals to nil, and we go there to defend and play counter attacking? that was very inept of the manager. we started brightly, pressing high up the field, after the first goal then we relaxed, where the hell that came from? were we playing Barcelona? "
"To use a spurious horseracing analogy, some bettors believe that only a small number of racehorses are actually capable of winning races. Some horses are superior and go into the lead, but retreat back into the field (maybe because of their herding instinct or whatever) and others, once having taken the lead, will kick on and try and consolidate it, despite their inferiority. "
"we can't play high pressing game with wallcott in the game and we don't own any fast defender, just not fast enough.. wisdom more suited to play in the CB.. he should emulate carragher"
"ani-road-05 Read my comment out loud, If you really think that is an angry comment then we speak different languages. As for the content of what I said, Mushroom's comment was so out of order, I responded, not mentioning names, just disappointed with the ignorance of it and other fans in general. But you are right, I shouldnt visit this site, as most people on it are just idiots."
"As for the other people on this thread, many pulled up Mushroom's comment and it was eventually removed as it was incorrect and furious. So it's a bit odd that you should point to what I said as angry, because I just spoke my mind in a reserved way, as a 40 year old has earned the right to do. You say what you want, I'll say what I want. Happy now? I am..."
