Hello to all the EDS and fellow REDS
Whingers will whinge, period.
Better start than most people expected, obviously, but we could and should have won it last night. Ings might have been a more adventurous choice but it's always easier to comment after the event. Ibe will get better as will everyone. Our young squad could come good this season. Despite missing Lallana and Henderson the team performed smoothly. Suddenly everyone's optimistic bar the whingers.
We are getting better and looked more dangerous than Arsenal. 2nd half Arsenal possession was to be expected but we still looked more dangerous than they did!
Overall, let's take the positives and stay optimistic. Also, Coutinho would need a creative partner/assistant.
Now, will BR use 2 upfront against West Ham? Credit to the coaching staff, defence looked solid.
My last point (sorry for the long post) is Lucas. How can BR want to sell him is beyond me. We looked vulnerable the moment he left the field last night. IMO, his going/staying could be a pivotal point in our season.
keep the faith, YNWA
P.S. My Gooner friends down here, are very quiet at work, this morning. Well done and thank you boys.

Did we win and I've not noticed, your gunner friends are not quite because of a result, there quite because of there start to the season so far! When did we turn into Everton, celebrating a point like plucky under dogs! New breed of Liverpool fan I guess!!

Yes Waro we celebrate draws now in matches being gifted to us.
25 Aug 2015 17:21:54
Have to really agree with Waro on this one, poor Arsenal last night that we should have beaten, their CBs were terrible. It's good on paper to get a draw at Arsenal but if we want top 4 after spending 100s millions then we really should take chances like that last night.
My opinion guys but that was two points dropped.

Apart from a few good years under houllier and istanbul what exactly have we got to shout about. I would say the Everton fans are being pragmatic and maybe we need to start doing that too. NO team has the right to beat any other, its no wonder we are the most hated team in the prem among fans.
Yes i hope we will play well and beat all that come before us but how can we realistically expect to beat every team we face knowing we don't have the best squad or manager. Considering the humiliating end to last season it would not do us any harm showing respect to our opponents and history shows we do not do well against the gunners so yes i'm content with a draw considering we have another 30 plus games to play where i hope we will win the majority of them.

And not even one mention of your idle Ron.
Stalking someone else now?
Go and stalk two wins and a draw lad!

I think it will be a good point when we are totting up our total at the end of the season , we have been lucky so far but we are improving imo. I'm a late forty something liverpool fan and a draw away to arsenal was always a decent one to get. We are not perfect by any means but it is positive, Sturridge to come back soon etc etc two tough away fixtures done need I go on lads , enjoy it ff's

I think most of us are just pleased that the performance showed some good signs, unlike the last two, Waro.
25 Aug 2015 18:30:58
There is no hope according to bobby! I saw imorovments on the first 2 games, but hey what do i know? I have watched Rossiter since he was in the u18s thinking he was a defensive midfielder or a deep lying playmaker alonso type player but he is a box to box midfielder obviously! I am clueless. Boba let's shut up shop and just give up yeah? The manager sucks, the players suck and we are the best fans in the world! Right? Riiiiight :)

New breed of Liverpool fan? Where have you been for the last 20 plus years Waro. We are hardly top of the tree or even close. Reality sucks.
25 Aug 2015 19:49:26
Because Liverpool haven't won the league for 20+years we should now just accept celebrating draws vs top 4 teams. wow how far we have fallen

Davey are you calling me a lazy scally or what?
I'm not idle, you cheeky get! 😉

Is there any difference in seeking a top four place to being happy with a draw at arsenal?
Personally I wish we would talk about winning the league rather than aiming for fourth as it implies failure before you begin. Being happy with a draw on the way to that goal however is a reasonable outcome. Not ideal as again we should aim for winning, but still reasonable.
