No, *you’ve* been watching too many Kai Havertz compilations… 🫣

Looking at the Chelsea team sheet… Acheampong Adarabioyo Andrey Santos Badiashile Buonanotte Caicedo … It’s one way to pick a team.

The Gabriel Martinelli incident appears to have sparked Man City into form.

Okonkwo saves from Hutchison. Hale End.

Sky have announced a new show, in which Howard Webb and Michael Owen meet for one hour to talk about Gabriel Martinelli. It will run for an initial 12 episodes weekly.

Anyway, we can all agree that Diego Costa did it best.

A good time to release the Saka contract news. 👍✍️

Liverpool: 0 games Manchester City: 521 games Everyone else? We analyse how many games since each Premier League failed to have a shot on target 👇 theanalyst.com/articles/liv...

Putting sellotape on top of the little square hole on top of a cassette in order to record the radio.

Just as Arsenal like to bait the press, the Press like to bait Arsenal.

Anyone notice how Van Dijk tried to start a fight with Rice when Arsenal played to the whistle when Frimpong was down, but Liverpool did exactly the same when Martinelli was down?

If an Arsenal player rolled back on the pitch in stoppage time at Anfield in a 0-0 game where we’d not had a shot on target, I’m sure there’d be another framing available.

A. “Arsenal extend lead at top of table as Champions Liverpool fail to muster shot on target” B. “Threadbare Liverpool frustrate Arsenal in Slot masterclass” Choose your poison.

On Liverpool’s “threadbare squad.” Of their players who’d actually play, they were missing Isak and Ekitike (we also were missing 2). Salah’s absence was known prior to the season. Their lack of options is because they spent big on three players rather than addressing their wider squad.

Ok, so the Gyokeres pros: - Price allowed for further signings - Has been available most of season - Has played a part in mostly flawless team performances I don’t know how much more adaptation we can hope for, but maybe not being our only striker might take some pressure off him.

We’ve forgotten what a bad game is. They played for a draw, to negate our creative players and break up our passing, slow down play, and they did so, with a good manager and good, expensive players. We didn’t concede chances, we didn’t lose, we didn’t pick up suspensions, lose our heads. We continue

That 0-0 (against a team with no shots on target) ends our run of 12 consecutive home wins in all comps. It's ok guys.

Sometimes look at how teams think they have to play against us.

There’s ‘domination’ and domination.

If Liverpool were 10 points better off we’d hear about this being a tactical masterclass, the top teams cancelling each other out. But because we’re so far ahead it’s paradoxically seen as a failure by us to not break them down.

Havertz will return to some heavy expectations.

Am I the only one to see Gyokeres as quite an intense, closed-looking person? I wonder how much he has actually bonded with the others. I don’t understand how little connection there is between him and Saka in particular.

Sky have found their moralising angle from… *checks notes*… Roy Fucking Keane.

Arteta hasn’t signed too many forwards, but I think that playing as a forward under Arteta is really hard. He’s so specific on how players should play, and I think it stifles players whose natures are to be spontaneous and creative. Our best forward under him, Saka, is mainly functional/efficient.

Probably played Liverpool at the worst time. Slot is on damage limitation and has found how to control games better while creating less, and he took that to an extreme today, playing without a forward and crowding our creative players. It was impressive, and Szoboszlai in particular was excellent.

Honestly, that was like a game of chess played by two AIs, which in some sense it literally was.

Maybe it would have suited us if Liverpool had a striker.

Myles is not passing the Arteta test.

Get a hypnotist to convince Gyokeres this is Lisbon.

Right, I watch too much football but understand it too little. This feels like a game where the ball bumbles its way to Eze and gets smacked into the net. So I’d do something to make that happen 🤷

I feel like Gyokeres can do more. Is playing for Arsenal the limit of his ambition? Seems to lack the intensity I expected him to have.

Why is Saliba only passing inside?

Has a team ever played a deeper block against us?!

It should be Gyokeres’s dream to play alongside Saka. Yet there is no connection there.

No Kai. Looks like everyone else (bar Cala/Mosq) available.

Same time of year we heard about Rice and Zubimendi.

How are Liverpool fans feeling about tonight? Genuinely curious.

For some reason I can’t help but expect a surprise absence tonight. Can’t remember the last time we had so much availability against a big team.

These ‘Class of 92’ players need to talk less about Utd. Take a look in the mirror at how old you are, how far gone that era is, and accept that the entitlement has no basis.

My procrastination has reached new levels today. Just make it 8pm already.

The Tottenham barista.

If you were a Tottenham fan, and it was your child’s birthday, wouldn’t you think you had the opportunity to break the curse and buy them a different team’s shirt?

Does Thomas Frank have a Goodly Morning mug?
