polishgenius Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Arsenal reciprocate with some shocking defending on their own. How many chances do y'all want to clear it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mexal Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 That's also Arsenal at OT. Offsides and United goal on shitty defending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disturber of Peace Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 This now reminds me of when Mourinho was managing Real against Barca. Very dirty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As it is since I've seen both them and Burnley- not a dirty side- play regularly I'm just gonna have to assume there's no more fouling than there is in any normal game and Joe Gomez has just been unfortunate. Anyway, we're terrible and even De Gea is now terrible. Terrible. Gomez collided with the hoardings. but Moreno was hit by a dirty tackle over the ball (not even called a foul, never mind a booking), plus some other meaty tackles without bookings.

I'm just doubting that you're getting any really rougher treatment than what happens in any average football game. If you were playing us, on the other hand, I'd believe you with no questions. We've been booting the absolute shit out of Arsenal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iskaral Pust Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 @Soylent Brown We need to improve your patience and intestinal fortitude. It was a good game plan overall: use the back-ups to save energy for the stars, and perhaps they can do enough to get a win. If not, bring on the stars when the opponents are tiring and finish them off. We didn't play particularly well -- of course we're disjoint with so many changes -- and it's terrible that Gomez got injured (fingers crossed for him). But we conceded an offside goal to a set piece in the second half, yet we didn't collapse. We equalized with an assist from Origi, brought on the big names and got the win. Away from home against a desperate opponent who kicked lumps out of us. Keita played really well and was very unlucky not to score. Their GK made several good stops or we would have scored more and sooner. Moreno was even pretty good. And we managed the game really well, going up a gear when needed. On the very same night Chelsea lost away to Wolves and Everton dropped points too. And Arsenal might drop a couple of points too. I still miss the fluent, explosive attacking play of last season but you cannot argue that we're more ruthless this year and much better at game management, which was our major criticism last year.

AncalagonTheBlack Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Considering the many changes to the team,Gomez getting injured,i though we did really well,especially in the 2nd half.Coming from behind to win against a spirited Burnley and scoring 3 goals in the process is very positive. Making all this more sweeter is Chelsea and Arsenal dropping points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Consigliere Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Shithoused our way to a draw. Looks like Pogba (and maybe Lukaku as well) have downed tools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Consigliere Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Rojo is a master at dodging red cards. Elbows did what he does best. He might get a retrospective ban for the hair pulling though. Btw, Liverpool fans should not be complaining at all. Granted the team isn't playing fluid attacking football but I just saw a stat saying that this is Liverpool's best start to a league season in the club's entire 126 year history. Unfortunately (not really ) they are up against a Guardiola juggernaut that is going to deny them the title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iskaral Pust Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 I just watched some extended highlights and the Burnley players were absolute thugs. It's a disgrace that the referee was not handing out yellow cards. And Gomez was hurt by Ben Mee's tackle, not by the collision with the hoarding. I'll be glad to see them go down. Looks like Arsenal could have the very same complaint tonight. It's rubbish for the fans and players that football can be dragged down to the shithouse level. On the bright side, the defending for all four goals in the United:Arsenal game was comedy gold. Arsenal's second goal was the pick of the bunch on that score.

Yeah, and don't forget that if referees did their jobs and sent off every player that dared make a tackle against them they'd win ever game by five goals at least so in reality they're already the best team in the league.
