re: OFFICIAL LFC 16/17 Season Long Thread - Piss off, Gunners!!

I cannot believe that we still have that kind of defensive performance in us. I was hoping days like this were over, of course did you see who we started on our back four?! Can we please go get some real defenders in January? We have a real shot here but not with the way our defense is currently set up especially with an injury or two.

We had a howler. It happens

Think we needed a good wake up call cause we were looking complacent

I just hope Matip and Mané don't have serious injuries

I don't even know how. How can you look like the best team in England going forward and a U16 select girls side in defense?

I almost literally cannot fricking believe this. If i didn't just watch it I would tell the person who told me to frick off and hit him in the sternum.

I'm still not even sure what to say.

I think Karius could have done better on two of the goals.

I think Lovren only plays well when he's protected with a good LB and a good RCB. Take one of those away, and he's a complete liability. He's a potential liability at any moment even with those beside him.

Just my opinion - but I'd go after Van Dyck or whoever you have slated as your number 1 CB to partner with Matip in January. Lovren can be the fist sub there (Matip has proven to have a few injury issues) until Gomez supplants him. I may also rather Ragnar be the first LCB (though I think Klopp rates Lovren only at LCB which is why Lucas played yesterday).

I'd rather our losses be the Burnley type - I hate wasting a day we scored 3 goals. It undermines confidence in the defense and the players in their roles.

All that matters is top 4. That's all I want this season

, I mean it's a part of history whether we like it or not (and I'd much rather it be part of Arsenal's history than United, Chelsea or Evert... oh I can't even type that one without laughing)

Just out of curiosity, and positions and/or names of players everyone hopes we bring in over the January window?

I really think we need a starting CB, I'd like a solid outside back, and maybe another true forward.

We have one, his name is Mamdou Sakho and if he would pull his fricking head out of his arse maybe we could watch him partner with Matip and wreck shop.

That said, we've been linked with Van Djyk, and he certainly look like the real deal, but man, he's expensive.

With Coutinho injured, Mane leaving, and Firmino, Lallana, and Studge dealing with niggling issues, I think he'll move for another attacker as well.

VVD and Matip at the back would make me happy... I know he's pricey, but it'd be so worth it to be rid of Lovren as a starter
