LIVERPOOL 3 v arse NALondon 1
ChRiS> watching a replay this morning (29th Sept) whilst noting how FEW modern fen way / "BLOwJO" cloned fans honoured Shanks; without whom there would be no global icon as LIVERPOOL ... he would never have surrendered to the fascisTORY rulers ... nor excluded TRUE REdS from the EMPTY ANFIELD stadium...
the TV station had false sound to match the false panic!
the REdS had more than 20 attempts whilst arse naLondon had their ONLY corner in the 77th minute, so much for the new "main rivals" it for LIVERPOOL to lose their title .. Robbo gifted the london based side their goal but scored the 2nd from a Trent assist, these 2 are WING halves & the usual formation is NOT 4-3-3 is it 2-3-3-2! ...
GINI performed his under-valued link role without fuss & probably ny unsung MoTM , although MANe , determination & talent again showed him to be , again, the STAR of the show... Naby , for me , suffered from trying to rasie to the (Stevie) 8 shirt... still not the marketed box-to-box player match winner expected ..
JOr & VVD were sound, AB too but Adrian could have played last night without losing the game, one save at 2-1 was important.. Bobby seems to be listening too much to the neggies, I really do NOT get JK subbing him on 90 mins for Tako!! thats not motivating.. IMO!
Jota looked sharp enough, and on another day Mo might have scored 3 .. Fab looked comfortable and controlling , and buried Willian in one tackle & politely apologised too! :) ...
just for the moment lets enjoy MERSEYPRIDE with both LIVERPOOL clubs at the top and both mancs in the bottom half.. !

THE ONLY Boss who will never be forgotten
Today 29th September back in 1981 - Bill Shankly died. Undoubtedly the
greatest ever influence on the reds, he MADE LIVERPOOL club and city into a world renowned entity , arrived as Manager in December 1959 and shook the club to its roots. He took us out of the Second Division in 1962 as champions and three years later led us to our first ever FA Cup. He also led us to three League titles, the UEFA Cup and another FA Cup before retiring in July 1974. BUT its the foundation he built unfortuantely tarnished by the boardroom who try to discard his socialst ethics that we "Shankly boys" HONOUR today!
TEAM proposed; if match fit ; Joe with Fab on bench

LIVERPOOL v arsenal
Both sides have started 2-0 this season, with the champions winning that barnburner against leeds before bossing chelski, and arsenal downing newcomers fulham before edging out wham.
The big question, though, is whether arteta i found the answer to stopping this mighty REd machine that has bascially rolled over everyone over the last couple of seasons? Back-to-back wins over the Reds suggest the goonners may just be growing into the role of bogey team.
Due to the stupidly congested football calendar, this is the first of two matches this week between them, with the Carabao Cup to tie follow on Thursday - maybe this should be a winner-takes-all and let the teams have a night off?
The two fixtures will be a great yardstick for Arteta to see exactly where his team stands in their development, and whether they can go toe-to-toe with the champions on their own patch - where they've been utterly dominant, and without a league loss since April 2017.arsenal have been put to the sword at Anfield over the last few years, but Arteta's new formula of sitting back and trying to pinch the points may give them more of a chance this time around.
Looking at those last two wins for arsenal against Liverpool, they had just 31 and 40 percent possession and mustered just four shots on target across the two games. They didn't fall into the ole rsenal trap of trying to attack the Reds - something they'd done at Anfield when matching and even twice edging the possession stats yet coming away with 3-1, 5-1 and 4-0 defeats.
arteta has surely learned that if arsenal come out and play against Liverpool they'll get well beaten. It's a temptation he must not succombe to even with the Reds having a few big injury problems with Jordan Henderson out and doubts over Thiago and Alisson.
Goals the norm in this fixture
Both teams usally find the net here, 14 of the last 16 have converted for BTTS backers, including the last seven, while 10 of the last 12 league meetings have contained over 2.5 goals, and nine of those have gone even further with at least four goals involved.
Over 2.5 goals in therefore an unsurprisingly prohibative 1/2, while over 3.5 no doubt being popular at 5/4
Goals have also been flowing in recent Liverpool home games too, with an average of almost 4.5 in their last eight Premier League games at Anfield while in their last seven home league games with Arsenal they've won five, drawn two and scored 25.
All the stats point to a Liverpool win with, but at the odds the majority of those backing a home win will roll it up with either both teams to score (9/5) or over 2.5 goals (evens) and over 3.5 goals (2/1) given the nature of this fixture.
Penalties have been a theme of the weekend and the new season as a whole, with VAR and the new handball rules causing confusion but also leading the penalties being given left-right and centre. The Gunners gave away three pens in six awaygames against last season's to six sides, including one at Anfield.
Put a razor-shapr Mo Salah with this Arsenal defence and throw in those handball rules and 15/8 on there being a spot-kick in this game will certainly appeal - as will 3/1 on the home side being awarded a penalty.
Firmino to find his scoring touch
Salah being on the pens help reduce his goalscorer price to 5/6 but maybe this could be the game for Roberto Firmino to find his scoring touch again at 23/10. The Brazilian has scored more against Arsenal than anyone else with eight - and seven of them have come at Anfield.
Last season was the first time in five Anfield league starts against arsenal that Firmino had failed to score - and even then he hit the post! So in those five games he's scored in four, all of which have been Liverpool's first goal of the game and three of those the first scorer in the match.
A goal has been coming as well, Bobby really should have scored against Leeds on the opening day, he had a shot on target and an assist against Chelsea and in the Community Shield against arsenal he had two shots and two key passes so was well involved. He's due a goal and it's amazing home many times players get a liking for playing one particular team, arsenal could be just what Firmino needs to find the net again.
Prediction: Liverpool 3-1 arsenal
Liverpool v arsenal team news
Hendo is definitely out but Joe has returned to training and should be fit enough to slot back in alongside VVD, Thiago is facing a late fitness test.
Goalkeeper Alisson will also have a late check after missing training and he'd be another big loss if he has to be replaced by Adrian , whilst tierney should be available for arsenal after he missed last week's late win over West Ham after pulling up in the pre-game warm-ups with a tight groin.
