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

I don't think it was intentional (not trying to convince you otherwise), but it was a terrible tackle and he should have been sent off...

Class act Hendo was, after the match...

His a right cu-nt, it wouldn't surprise me if he did it on purpose. He was reckless the entire game. Their whole squad seems to be of the mentality to injure the opposition. Second derby in a row they've been out to end careers.

the best part to me was seeing EVERY ONE of those guys, even the guys that were subs, like Can and Sturridge, elated with the win

Agree with that - was very happy to see how excited Studge was and he and Klopp hug. STudge is a talent - a talent we can't rely upon, but a talent we will need at times. Like Monday.

My main take away - (and I hate to disagree with you about Chelsea) - its not that Chelsea are playing out of their minds (in fact, I would argue they aren't playing all that great in a lot of their games), they just have the quality up top for Costa to get them a goal, and the defense (Kante has been a huge transfer) to pretty much never concede. They have won FOUR matches in a row 1-0. And several of them you would say barely outplaying the opposition.

We did it ourselves Monday. Though I would say we decidedly outplayed them in the second half, chances were still hard to come by. But we found a way to win 1-0. To me, that's the impressive thing - in prior years we could have easily found a way to tie that game or even give up a soft goal at some point. But our mental toughness, hard working attitude and going for it are all being finely developed by Klopp. Still way to go, but there's no arguing its improving. We NEED games like this to show that, even in a tough game, we can get that magic right at the very end to turn 1 point into 3.

I'm not sure Klavan is an every day starting LCB, but I wouldn't' mind seeing he and Matip as a partnership for a few games. But Klavan was huge a few times early in the game not letting Lukaku get in front of him for some of those crosses.

Bob played a terrible game and still almost had a goal.

could have easily had a hat trick... but he hasn't looked himself the last few games (hate him out wide)..

Chelsea will be tough to over take, but its not too far fetched...

Now Im seeing we are possibly going to test the waters with Draxler, though PSG are the big favorites to land him...

He'd be expensive, but very much worth it IMO... more versatile than a player like Zaha, too..

Definitely don't see this happening... but I'm off for the next two weeks and bored

I'm with you... More on board for Draxler, but would probably #ride4Zaha as well(with less excitement).

I don't even want to talk about transfers right now though... I am suffering FIFA 17 transfer PTSD because Coutinho wanted to leave in the game, Klopp said "lol no", and then the board stepped in and sold him anyway.

Good thing I don't remember any of my dreams.

I just want Phil to be healthy again. Hopefully he doesn't come back too soon and reinjure himself, because I think a Phil-Origi-Bob or Phil-Bob-Lallana front would be more than serviceable for when Sadio is gone for ACoN.

Honestly, if I could bring one player in this window it would be a LCB.. a LB would be next...

Yep, this 100%

Saw where Draxler signed with PSG. Don't know the accuracy of that news or whether true or not.

Can you sign before the window opens? Because the transfer window isn't open yet, is it?

Yep, deal is done but the paper work with the french FA won't be officially done until the window opens
