I love losing money on Liverpool but I think I will give this one a miss. I think we can control the game and out muscle Arsenal, but its a case of 'what happens next....' for me. Without any wingers or a real 'outlet' they struggle to create chances. Then when the chances do come, they are missed
Before New Year, we would beat teams (Boro, Newcastle, Pompey) but missed scores of chances. I would honestly say we scored 1-in-5. Now those chances arent in such abundance and we are struggling.
Between them, Liverpool's front 3 have made 63 starts and scored 11 goals. I think that speaks for itself really doesnt it. A few injuries has meant we havent been able to rotate the team and so those that are playing are tired. Our season started in July remember. Gerrard has played 40 games in total this season!
Still no sign of Garcia being fit and TBH I am not all that optomistic. On the face of things, I would say we can keep it tight but fail to score. Henry tends to drift in from the left (our right) and this is where we are strongest and fastestat the back. Between them, Carra and Finnan should have him under control (famous last words
). If there is a worry, its our left side and the relationship between Hypia and our left back. Rafa hasnt played the same LB consistantly and this has got to be detrimental to the understanding at the back. No co-incidence that the bumbled Own Goal last week was as a result of a mixup on our left side.
I would dearly love to see a 4 minute hat trick from Robbie again, sadly 0-0 or even 0-1 is the way I see it going tonight
