Tsimikas broke his collarbone thanks to the overwatered Anfield pitch.
Comments like this….and y’all say I have conspiracy theories.

Yes, he slipped all by himself :eyeroll:
The best is the one Arsenal fans who said Klopp was out of his box, and they showed a picture with Klopp on his box and Arteta out of his box. It’s so silly.

People say Klopp complains too much about the elements, and they want to say the pitch was overwatered. It’s just funny.

hope everyone has a nice Christmas

I know they some people said Poch wouldn't last till Christmas and he did....but he shouldn't have.

The fullbacks are funny to watch, they have no idea whether to cover the wide man drifting out or the player drifting in, they basically just chase whoever has the ball.

Arteta is outside of his box all the time. A hilarious example from just three months ago:


Referees don't care sadly.

Must be nice to have officials be favoring you!

If only that was true we would lead by more points!


Whatever, the table i was looking at wasn’t updated after the game yesterday. Anyway. Two scumclubs in the bottom. No surprises there.

Last are Chelsea, but nice try.

Also, Spurs are first in tackles won. If you're scared to play hard, don't play Tottenham

Arsenal are 15th in tackles won, next to last in fouls committed and 1st in Fair Play.

Team doesn't like to get their uniform dirty and maybe break a nail. Can't miss their tanning bed appointments, right Ben?

Soft team will collapse late when it gets hard, just like last season.

When you're an Arsenal fan, you're so desperate for any title that you'll take the Fair Play crown. England won the fair play award at last year's World Cup - it came home!!!!

Chelsea are bottom of the fair play table, which makes me mad because it's due to how many profoundly stupid yellows we take. Nothing to do with dirty play, everything to do with boneheads kicking balls away. Scumminess need not enter the chat.

I remember a few years ago when Chelsea went a whole match without a foul, and it was (rightfully, IMO) seen as a bad thing because it showed how low the team's intensity was.

No, Saka slipped which caused him to run into Tsimikas.

There were a ton of slips. Off the top of my head, it happened to Martinelli multiple times, including keeping him from scoring, Saka multiple times, including him slipping into Tsimikas (which still wasn't a foul, other than in Kavanaugh's Liverpudlian head) and nearly hyperextending his knee, Zinchenko, giving up a 5 v 1, and Odegaard, which caused his arm to hit the ball.

I don't remember Liverpool sliding as much, but that's because I frankly didn't care. It's not a conspiracy when you can see how wet the field was. But fair enough. Overwatered may be inaccurate. Liverpool might just not have the ability to drain their field.

This is gonna shock you, but I'm not actually the manager of Arsenal.

No, we just have the ball so much we don't need to have a CB two foot everyone and then complain about Matty Cash.

You guys are so tough you're whining about Matty Cash

just for the record, did I complain about anything other that the handball call ? Which even Saliba and Ian Wright thought was a handball?

You are not the manager of Arsenal, but you are people. You are also not the only people. I would have said you if I was specifically talking about you. We can talk about all the hypocrites and people that got community noted on Twitter yesterday straight up lying about water sprinkles and touch line positions, but I’d really rather not. In fact I’m not going to; I don’t want to do it. I’m just saying people (not specifically you) will jump on Klopp saying it’s windy, and then try to say the field was too wet. That falls somewhere between ironic and hypocritical on the spectrum.

Either way. Merry Christmas

Because klopp is a manager. Do you not get the difference in roles? I wouldn’t be surprised

Spurs have more possession than Arsenal.
Damn. So spurs have more of the ball, make more tackles, and yet still give up significantly more goals and chances? How does that math math?

Honestly, no I don’t. Be at the level that you want to be at. People who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones. Don’t be a hypocrite. Don’t say Klopp is bad for talking about elements of you are going to do the same thing. Don’t call other people conspiracy theorists if you are going to talk about over-watering. It’s hypocritical
