Nice how the commentators failed to mention that Liverpool initially conceded because of one of Gerrards hollywood passes.....

The pundits hailed them as "a joy to watch" and called them "amazing" :wank2:

They needed a 95th minute goal to get a point! :lol:

Also the last thing we need is that Liverpool changing their first priority to Capital One Cup

That would be quite good ... think of the pleasure we could get ,,, just like tieing fireworks to dogs tails ,, or dropping cigarette ash

on safari ants ......... OR telling naughty children THERE IS NO FATHER XMAS ,,

It's ridiculous the amount of penalties City and Liverpool got last seasons and amount of teams against City that got disallowed that gave them endless victories :/

City scraped through their CL group and they were wonderful but we won our group and we got. **** all praise :(

Arsenal are clowns.

The way they handled that match after they went 2-1 ahead was appalling - nothing to do with Mourinio's defensive tactics in our match against Liverpool. We did some back pedalling but we did n't make it "Courtois against 11" !

For the life of me I don't understand why that Frenchman has n't bee sacked years ago.

Last season 0-6 at the bridge. All time record of home supporters leaving the stadium early after a win (6th minute).

Gerrard was slow and awkward as he usually is these days. Lucas was much better in the holding position - surprise!

Liverpool's defense watching Giroud, of all players to leave unmarked, walk inside their own box and doing nothing to stop him was quite something. Skrtel scored that goal and his determination was commendable, but he also was caught napping when Giroud scored.

It was a bad game despite the intensity, which was good. The number of mistakes and the lack of creativity made the game pretty painful to watch.

Despite the nice goal Coutinho returned to his usual shittyness afterwards.

I think its their attacking style of play. Down a man their attacking kids just sit back more, without really changing their shape too much. Even looking at them today, their holding mid fernandinho was practically living in Palace's box every time he got the chance.

I expect West Ham to rollover to us at home. Stoke is the danger game to me, especially consider the siege mentality they have at home.

Told you Stoke ain't nothing.

West Ham will be the big problem. They will not rollover as you put it.

Rodgers is truly delusional. He tried to 'big up' Liverpool's performance by saying they played better than in the 5-1 win last season AND worse, that they have to play on a terrible Anfield pitch. :doh:

Bardsley's intended leg-breaker,

Thing is, I don't think it's an 'intended leg-breaker'. Gary Neville did an interesting analysis on it, albeit he's slightly bias being a former RB, but he suggested as it's a side-foot challenge it's not actually as malicious as it looks. Bardsley believes the ball is going out and when he realises it isn't, he tries to put it out. Because he can't get enough pace to cover the ground, it ends up being late and lunges through Hazard. But he hasn't gone in with his studs. Going in with the side of his boot seems intentional so that he doesn't cause a lot of damage to Hazard. in case he did mistime the challenge.

Agree on other counts though.
