When was the last time we seem prepared for a really big game? Sp*rs maybe...who knows.
Not sure if this has been mentioned here before, but I feel the team was definitely more solid defensively and more stable with a back 3. Not sure what Iwobi brings to the table to warrant a starting job. I would sit him and come back to the 3-4-3.
I don't have them in front of me but the stats actually point out that we gave up more big chances with the back three.
Mignolet is a shocking keeper. He gifted us a point.
Liverpool will surely go out and sign a keeper while we sit around and watch the other teams around us strengthen their teams.
In the space of the past two seasons, they signed Mane & Salah. Whilst we have been ****ing around giving players like Iwobi, Ox & Walcott opportunities.
United game was the best game of football I've watched since Germany beat Brazil 7-1.It's bullshit football bro...........absolute bullshit football.
Short memory- turgid non-entertaining football vs Newcastle and then as shambolic a performance as you'll see against Liverpool in just our last 2 home games. Entertainment for about 5 minutes in each game.
Yeah beating Sp**s in a November was good.What about the Cup Final beating Chelsea in May. Or when we beat Chelsea in the Community Shield. Or beating City 2-1 in April. We beat United 2-0 in May as well. All big games this year we prepared for.When was the last time we seem prepared for a really big game? Sp*rs maybe...who knows.
UTD. at home last year was a meaningless match bro - happy we beat them but UTD. had put their eggs in the Europa League basket. We're good in Cup matches because it's just all about winning the game so we can play our gung-ho style win or lose. big games in the league that matter we've been poor for as long as I can remember. Anyway, if you're happy with sloppy play being delivered up on a regular basis, good for you. We're a joke at the back and have been for a long time.Yeah beating Sp**s in a November was good.What about the Cup Final beating Chelsea in May. Or when we beat Chelsea in the Community Shield.

Maybe you missed them bro.
Jesus, watching the replays today, all three of their goals came about from deflections.
Sorry, didn't realise you were only talking about league matches, and only when other teams can be bothered.

Keep it up bro...........Sorry, didn't realise you were only talking about league matches, and only when other teams can be bothered. My bad.
Just realized we played a back four yesterday... Kos just needs to do better.Also starting to think Kos is far more suited to a being a CB in a back four as opposed to the 3 man defense.
Liverpool have wrecked us under Klopp for the most part though. I thought we were losing from the off yesterday, especially as they have been in even better form away than we have been at home.I think at home, where we have been in superb form.. this is not an improvement at all.
We were not properly prepared for this match, and this coming from someone who looks closely at the work Wenger does on the field.
and the week after that & then the week after that. It's sad nuh **** but what can you do. Take our punishment & watch this crap for another 18 months max I hope.I missed chunks of the first half and am just catching MOTD now - didn't realise how badly they battered us up until our first goal.
The defending makes me want to pull my hair out. For Salah's everyone just followed the ball and Wilshere didn't track him. For the equaliser, despite having so many players back, Firmino found loads of space inside our box. How!?
The same mistakes will happen again next week too.
Actually we really should have lost it but somehow, miracles of miracles we actually managed to score 3 unanswered goals A better coached team probably wouldn't have been staring down a 2 goal deficit to start with and more than likely a better coached team could have held on to the lead or increased it.I wish another manager had a year to work with this current squad. We should have won that game.
