I AM TIRED OF LOSING AT ANFIELD! LIVERPOOL V ARSENAL PREVIEW FT ROMZ

Tell Trent Alexander-Arnold to come outside, we're low-cool on Saturday. As the man said there, people deluded, I'm back again. As you already know, Elephant in the room, we've got the shirts on. It's Liverpool-Arsenal, I've got my guy Romes, who unfortunately is a Liverpool fan, lives in London. Don't know what he's on. How you doing, my friend? I'm good, glad to be back on the channel, believe it's my second or third time. But I'm good, man. I'm good, man. Both our teams top of the tree, it's going to be a mad game tomorrow. But yeah, man, I'm ready to chop it up, ready to chop it up. I don't look at the league table, so I don't know where Arsenal are. But if that's what you're saying with Liverpool, fair enough. I haven't seen the league table since August 1st or whenever, when Arsenal were top. So hopefully that is it. But let's jump straight into it, man. Obviously, it's Liverpool-Arsenal. What's your thoughts on Liverpool this season up until this point? The good, the bad, the ugly, the strengths, the weaknesses? Let me have it, man. So cool. Right, going into this season, I said to myself, because we have a new midfield rebuild, it'll be a transitional period. So I thought, if my prediction was for us to finish about third, if you told me we'll be here by this point in the season, I would have thought you were a madman. So in that regard, we're overachieving by this point. I think every Liverpool fan will agree we're overachieving. Overachieving? I think we're overachieving. The one team that obviously City have been winning the wars, but the one team that has won a couple of battles against them, the one team that has claimed the Premier League title are overachieving. The only reason why I'd say a lot of our fans would agree that we're overachieving because we didn't... You know what? There might be a small minority that believe... Premier League legend Marcelo? Generational trend. There might be a small minority, but, bro, we had a whole midfield rebound. You know that's the nucleus of the team. That's the engine of the team, bro. We had a full rebound. All that Deadwood, Fabinho, Hendo, Milner... Man said Fabinho, Deadwoods, you know? Yeah, he was done, bro. He was done. Some men will disagree, but he was done, bro. For me, he was done, personally. But because of the transitional period, I feel like we had a good season, but not to be where we are now. So, in that respect, I'm happy. But for me, let's say weaknesses, it's still we need that DM, bro. We still need that DM. Hendo of late, been playing well. We've had McAllister playing there, but we all know his better position is that eight roll. You've had Jones in there a few times this season, but that DM position is glaringly obvious. And some will say a multifunctional left centre-back that can play left-back as well as cover for Robbo. Albeit, Simicas, I'm not his biggest fan, but he's done very well this season. I've got to give it to him. He's come into the squad and he's done his thing. But overall this season, I was happy with our firing line of late because in our last seven games, it's only been Salah that's scored or assisted, bro. And normally when you think about Liverpool, straight away you think, oh, they've got a plethora of attackers. There's goals all over the team. Exactly. You think goals all over the team. Since the Forest game that was on the 29th of October, bro, our attackers ain't really been firing at us. It's only been Mo Salah. Nunes hasn't scored. Diaz, I think Diaz scored one and he came back and scored eight. But other than that, it's mainly been our midfielders and our defenders that have been saving us up recently. So I hope tomorrow they can put that right. I was at the game midweek against West Ham and Gatfoe got on the score sheet. Salah got back on the score sheet. So hopefully that confidence is slowly coming through. Who did you say? Gatfoe. Gatfoe and Salah. You don't know? I told you. Oh, that's you. They said he's on me, innit? You're being cheeky, but no. Gatfoe, you know what I mean? For me, I'll be real, he's been underwhelming this season. When he came in last season, right? No, but I'll say this season, the way he started off, bro, to now, most of his goals and better performances have come in the Europa League and the League Cup, you know what I mean? In the Premier League, he's often yet to be seen, bro. I weren't really for the signing. I've got to be honest with you. Why? Because I watched him a few times. He had a good World Cup campaign. I watched him a few times, PSV. But I don't know, man. Because I know what Klopp's like, bro. I knew his attributes. He'll try and kind of makeshift him into this false line kind of midfield role. On PSV, he was more of a wide man. That's where he was most dangerous. And what Klopp tends to do with a lot of his technicians, he'll bring them into the midfield and try and make them industrious like workhorses, you know what I mean? And I think you've kind of seen that. But then when he's played in that nine role and sometimes on wide positions, his better performances, like I said, have come in the Cup competitions, not really the League, in my opinion. But Gakpo got on the score sheet, Salah, and I just hope they can transmit that into the Arsenal game tomorrow, you know what I mean? But yeah, man. You're right, man. It's a given that regardless of the result, Mr Mo Salah is going to score. He was nice enough to miss a penalty last year. Hopefully he remembers, you know, that sort of thing. But yeah, I guess, you know, you're all right. You know, Salah has to be what? I would rank Salah as a Premier League legend. He's probably the second-best Egyptian to have kicked a Premier League ball after El Nene and that. He's all right, man. I don't know. I'm still mad at him still. But what was I going to ask you? You kind of touched on it, yeah? Obviously, when people think of Liverpool, you think of goals all around the squad. Historically, I know Firmino worked clinical, but he was like the glue between Mane and Salah. It was a great front three, really, and truly. Why haven't the other guys been hitting it on and off? Is it something to do with Pep? I'm going to say Pep. Is it something to do with Klopp? Is it because of the midfield? Is it something that the players just aren't levels? Why is it Salah is the workman in that regard, or has the workman on point? Do you know what it is, bro? It's a bit confusing because the start of the season, our whole front line started well. Jota, you're probably the forgotten man in the rivals' perspective. He started the season well. He owns you lot as well. You know what Jota does when he comes up against us. I don't know, man. I don't want the Emirates to know what we've done. I don't know who Jota is, bro. Wait, I don't know. Jota started the season well. Nunes... I said poor man's not Martinelli. He's your man, Martinelli, you know. You know he likes you. Listen, listen. You know your manager likes him. He's just going to be stripping. I'm not speaking on none of your faces. I know how the football gods work, innit? So I'm trying to be a bit coy on Arsenal's face. Hopefully Trent's stripping on Saturday, man. Nah, man. We'll probably get into the line-ups on that later. But there's a big thing I want to say about Trent, especially about tomorrow's game. But you don't have to add some pauses, everyone. But they all started the season well. Nunes got that brace against Newcastle. We were down and out 10 men. He started the season quite well. Jota started the season well. Even Gappo. And then Diaz. I think Diaz in our front five, actually, I think two, three games in, had the most GA. I'm not really a stats man, but he did have the most GA. So for me, of recent, I feel like it's a bit of a complacency issue. Where we started this season so well, and I feel like some of our attackers know because we have that Mo Salah in our team, they kind of leave the onus on him of late. I'm not saying overall in the season, but of late, they've kind of left the onus on him. And even by his standards, I think it's only two. In the Premier League, I'm speaking alone, I think it's only two in the last seven trips. Yeah, he's letting down my FPL team. He's staying in it for Saturday. I can't lie, just in case, but he's letting me down still. Of recent, he's been letting me down as well. But I just feel like, of recent, they've been misfiring. We've had a plethora of shots, bro. Most games, I think we averaged 20 plus shots on goal. Most of our games. I think the United game was the first time you haven't scored in 25, 26 consecutive games at Anfield. And you had 20-odd shots. How did you do? 36, bro. 36 shots. Yeah, yeah. I don't know how a ball didn't go in the back of the net. As you said, football gods are crazy. It was just their day, innit? Yeah, that's what I mean. When you get overconfident and think this and that happened, normally the opposite does. But I just think with our... I think it might be a confidence issue as well, because Nunez, look, if man don't know me, I'm one of Nunez's biggest advocates. You man were comparing him to certain Ireland in that way. You know it is. Indeed, you know it is. You get some of the fans that go over the top with it. There's some sensible ones. We know what Ireland is. We know what Nunez is in it. But I know what you mean. After that community show game last season... Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Arsenal fans, we've definitely been here, so it's nice to mention another team doing it still. You know what I mean? But listen, that's the beauty of football as well. You know you get the tribes, and you get some people that have their mad takes. But me personally, I went in that camp. But see, Nunez, I've been one of his biggest advocates. But I've had to calm down a bit this season, because, bro, this guy will get so many one-on-ones. You get some fans that say, but we knew this from the jump. But you know when you have that hope for him, that, nah, second season... We know a lot of foreign imports. The first season, unless you're, I don't know, an Aguero or Suarez, there's a minority that hit the ground running straight away. You're Van Nistroid. You know we've seen in the last 15, 20 years. But the majority of them, sometimes it takes them a bit to warm in. So this first season, you see him. I'm going to give him his thoughts later on in the stream, but he's a bad boy still. Bad, bad boy still. But with normally number 9s, right, when they're that foreign players, their first season, some do well. I'd say a smaller pool do well, but the majority of them, it takes some time to warm up. But the things with Nunes, a lot of our fans were on him from last year, I'll be honest. But I said, give him his second season. The second season's come now. He's not scored in, what, 12, 13 games on the bounce. It's not really looking good for him. That's not positive to hear, guys. Exactly, bro. Because we know, I say, from an Arsenal perspective, these men, these are the sort of guys, these Banduli brothers, that somehow managed to score against us. So that definitely is interesting. The only silver lining for you, bro, the only silver lining for you, bro, is that's past Arsenal teams. I'm going to give you, man, your respect, where it's due, but this Arsenal team here... Nah, we're taking it. That's what you mean. You see what we do out here. You never walk alone unless you're Trent out there against Martinelli, boys. Wait. Hopefully he doesn't go against Zinni, man. I hope... Listen, like I said, we're all getting probably to the 11s, and what you think, man, will be tomorrow. But I don't want Trent playing that right-back position tomorrow, bro. And I've got my reasons, but I don't... Because listen, recently we've been playing him in this inverted role, and you've seen recently he's been winning games for us, controlling games. Called the United game, it was a bit underwhelming. But our Rava, Joe Gomez, right, a lot of... A player that a lot of our fans wrote off. Recently, he stepped into that right-back role, and he's been stellar, bro. He's winning some of his better performances. A lot of us thought he was done out here. Come back in the season, pause, and that right-back position, he's just... He's been playing well. I think... Against... I can't lie, against Reyes and your other midfielders, Trent could get overwhelmed, but I'll take them lows for the highs he brings because he can win a game. This is a match-winning player. Yes, we know his... Defensive deficiencies. Quality player. We know his defensive deficiencies, but going forward, bro, I just think, especially in this Arsenal team where I know you lot have been defensively resolute, but if you are attacking and we hit you on the counter, this is a perfect player to probably spread from one of our front three or even in that midfield role. Exactly. And you know what? One thing I'll say about Raya, because Ramsel probably won't start and you'll agree with, Raya's long distance, because I've actually got a brethren that supports Brentford, and I do think Raya's a decent keeper, but he don't really like long shots. If you know, you know, he don't really like long shots. You've got your buzz line. I think the last couple of goals are from outside the area. Exactly. I said that in the video just before we're here now. I said, don't let him do that, bro. If they can get that ball in them central areas, bro, and just let them off, Raya, you know what I mean? Shaky hands there, do you know what I mean? He might parry it in the net or something too. Raya's hurting, lad. Alisson's been looking beaky as well, but I can't lie, I have to defend. No, but it's interesting you said that, yeah, because that's a new dynamic. Obviously I'm not watching Liverpool on a regular basis and your Joe Gomez comment is quite interesting because obviously what Trent would, obviously Trent would still play. Joe Gomez is more of a traditional sort of fullback. He's more of an industrious one, so that is a bit of a one. But I do think, you know, Klopp, go with Trent, Arsenal, we ain't got no choice. Go with Zinchenko. We know they're quite similar players in the basis of their fullbacks, but their strengths are not described as being defensive. So I think both of them are going to invert. I think both teams can kill each other on the counter. I think both teams can press high. Obviously I think as much as I'm fearful of Liverpool and what you lot could do, I think there's logical reasons to be fearful of us. I think we should be respectful to you lot, but also go out there and the midfield would be interesting. I said it on my livestream. Obviously I need the whole team, but based on, you know, Salah, Trent, all of your attackers, Zinchenko, Gabriel pulling out into that channel, Kai Havertz defensively and making fouls, Martinelli helping out Zinchenko, and I don't know if I said Jesus and Odegaard. Them names in particular, you lot need to have a good game because we need to, we'll lose battles, but we need to win the war. Of course there's going to be moments where we're under pressure. We're going to see if Raya's a good goalie. Salah's going to be banging on the door. Your fans are going to be moving mad. But I do think it'd be an interesting kind of match-up. So it's interesting you mentioned the Joe Gomez shot. And like you said with Trent, naturally when both teams are attacking, obviously the way teams are structured, there's going to be, holes isn't the right word, but it's like a by-product because of the way you're playing really. And I think both teams can cut them open. That's where I'm looking at the second half. In recent, we've started fast and I think we need to at Anfield. I don't buy into the Anfield hype in a sense of Arsenal. I think you've got to be respectful. I know they make their noise. We all know what Anfield's about. Klopp's actually been going mad about it, but for me, I know it's not the same, but you've gone to Newcastle where the atmosphere, it's one of the stadiums like with you lot there, we'll say that's one of them. We didn't lose that game because of the fans. We didn't lose against Aston Villa because of the fans. So in isolation, you're just playing in Liverpool. Yeah, it's Liverpool, it's Anfield and blah, blah, blah, but it's just a game in a stadium. Keep doing what you've done before. Be respectful when you go into someone's house, but take your opportunities. And obviously, the game last year... The caveat on what you just said, though, one thing I've noticed about Arsenal, yes, you lost against Newcastle because of an unjust decision. Yes, you lost against Villa and there ain't no damn chances in that game, but you're bang on, man. Yeah, yeah. Similar to the Villa game, I thought you were quite somewhat decent, but again... Got to put the ball in the back of the net, bro. Yeah, exactly. Got to put the ball in the back of the net. Just like last year, my guy. When we went two goals up, Liverpool as a team, you've got to... Every team for that matter, but Liverpool as a team, you've got to kill. There's no point punching you up, leaving you with breath. You need to stop you to your breathing. And when there's a bit of hope, you're going to get back in it. I think that's one thing we've kind of learnt from this season. That's my caveat for you. You mentioned Newcastle and Aston Villa, and I'd say they're two out of the top away teams that you've travelled to, but you've lost both games. Now, you lot have been good this season, but isn't that a bit of a worry? You're going to another top 10 side and you've not registered. Then again, this could be... You know what I mean? But this season, you've gone to top 10 sides away. The teams you have gone away and you haven't really, albeit whatever reason, you've not won. That could be a worry for your fans as well. It is a worry. You're bang on the money, man, because our season's been... Chelsea as well. I was just about to say that. That's my issue with Arsenal. It's a bit weird. Last year was probably more professional. Games were a bit more in a positive way, boring away from home. Our performances generally were a bit better. It was at home that, you know, our game at the Emirates where we're taking the lead, there's a bit of nerves and then there's quote-unquote late winners and things like that. You're bang on the money because we shot ourselves in the foot against Chelsea. We showed courage, a bit like you lot to get back in it, but we shot ourselves in the foot. Villa, end of the day, didn't put the ball in the back of the net. I think the performance was there, but performance or results if you're going for a lead. Newcastle, we couldn't create, let alone convert chances, so you're bang on the money. It's been away from home. I know football, it's a crazy one and, you know, three, four games across the season, there's going to be games where you're not at last-minute winner, blah, blah, blah, but then you throw in the last-minute winner against Brentford and, obviously, Luton. I think you're bang on the money and that is a concern, really. I don't know why it is. I don't think it's necessarily because of the atmosphere. I don't know if we're starting games where it's like we're going through the motions and even in the Chelsea game, we were good 77 minutes onwards. It's not good enough in the Premier League. You need to start well. As I said, there's going to be times where, obviously, Liverpool are going to be on top of us. We're going to be struggling to breathe, more or less. That happens, but we need to have more consistency across 90 minutes. Our game last year at the Emirates at Anfield is the best example. For about 28 minutes, superb. Did not get the killer blow. As you know, football is decided in both boxes. We didn't defend well enough for the goal and we're lucky Salah missed and Ramsdale had a top-top game, but when we had the chance to get the third or the fourth, we didn't do it. A bit like the fingy game, the Spurs game, where, obviously, Jorginho's made that mistake. The whole team is switched off at home for the first goal, but other than that, we've allowed teams to get back in it and we need to learn from ourselves because there's been times Man United, Brentford, Luton, actually Chelsea as well, to a degree, Fulham, even though they got the last-minute equaliser, teams haven't killed us and we've somehow got back in it. That can't happen at Liverpool. You need to be perfect and for me, I'm not going... Go on. Do you know what... No, sorry, carry on your point. I was going off topic in that there's a lot of talk about would this be a statement win and all of that. I believe yes because we get our arses handed to us at Anfield week in, week out. It'd be nice to beat Liverpool and City in one season. I'm like, all right, cool, you have arrived but at the same time, it's nothing because in general, not to negate that because some of these players have been part of that, there's no point beating Liverpool if against West Ham you mess up and we're still in December so I don't want my players, for me, obviously you've got to play the occasion, you've got to relish the occasion, you're playing at Anfield, it's a big game, it's a privileged position, it's a long way from where we used to be but just focus on the game of football, bro. They bleed just like us, they're a football team just like us, they've won, lost and drawn games just like us. We know Klopp is going to demand the performance because for me, I think there was an air of complacency with Liverpool against United and I think you lot up here, United are there, sometimes in football you drop to the other team's level. We're up here, Liverpool are up here, you're going to have to rise and Klopp, I think he's on mind games because you was at the game, I don't know for atmosphere and things like that but he seemed like he was doing the pep thing that I need you lot to be angry and things I don't blame him, find margins and whatnot but it's interesting. Before I get into the atmosphere on the West Ham game, I quickly want to mention a point that you mentioned when you were saying late winners recently, your Luton's, your Brentford's, even us, Fulham and your Palace, I was at the Palace game as well and I said to the guy next to me, if I didn't get sent off, before I got sent off I was like, this could be a hell, the minute I got sent off your decisions, I've never heard that before, fair enough man. Come on, you know we're the golden team, we're the media darlings but once he got sent off, I know what my team's like, Liverpool and Arsenal this season are very similar, even when you look at goals conceded, I think it's still the same amount right, we have that siege mentality as you lot do so the minute I got sent off I said you know what, we'll win this game now and that was still 20 odd minutes to go but there's a stat and I feel like, I've known you quite a long time now, I feel like you might agree on this stat, Liverpool and Arsenal are up there in the metrics of the most goals scored after 75 minutes plus and some fans lap that up, that's not a stat you should be proud of, for me, especially in this festive period bro, I know not every game you're going to blitz teams, that's not how football goes but majority of games you want to be 2-3 by the 70th minute then take your big hitters off, give them rest, especially you lot we're not in Champions League this year but especially you lot we're not in Champions League Listen, we're not in there, we're taking a year off, we'll be back in there playing Union, SL and them teams there, crazy team, SC Duns and that, it's crazy. Crazy bro, some teams I can't even pronounce but both of us still have midweek Europe competition and in this festive period, you know, games are every three days, this is where muscle injuries start to build up, I don't like that stat we're winning games late all the time, I know sometimes you have to but the fact Liverpool and Arsenal are both in that metric, that's not a stat I was happy about, I see the Premier League official account tweeted it the other week, I see fans lapping it up and it's like, nah man, this ain't something you should be proud of, yes siege mentality, yes it shows you go to the end but you rather kill games off early to take your big hitters off, that's the way I see that one. You're bang on the money bro, you're bang on the money because like, obviously, you know, sometimes football goes left, I always say get the result first, if you come back from behind and you win and it's dramatic, obviously we lapped it up, I was happy about obviously a point at Liverpool last year, I was happy about coming back in the Chelsea game, obviously the late minute winners against Brentford, Luton, United, probably someone else that I'm missing out, it excites me and I do think in isolation you need that, sometimes things go wrong across a 38 game calendar, four or five games a season, that happens, football is weird, like you said, football isn't one on paper, that's the beautiful thing about it but I agree with you and you're bang on the money in the sense of it's a bit too dramatic, that's not what you want, I'm pretty sure Jürgen Klopp or any manager wouldn't want that to become a consistent stat because that means a fee that you're not starting games well or you're playing well and doing things that are going to harm you and I know City are struggling but in this day and age in the Premier League, you need to be looking at 90 points and near enough perfection if you're going to pit City to that so that is something I want to get rid of and I actually feel, I think Arsenal and Liverpool are up there for defensive stats, two good defensive sides based on that but I do think the managers won't necessarily be happy with how both teams are defending necessarily if I'm completely honest because the game could have went left, I think if I look at Arsenal's progress and our projection, we're doing well I've got nothing but praise if I remove that projection stuff of when Arteta walked into now and I look at Premier League winners, I think, you know, I have to be a bit harsher we beat Brighton 2-0 and it was one way traffic they should have been killed in the first half the same said for that 5-0 victory against Sheffield United and definitely against Wolves I think it was, it ended up being 2-1 or something like that but we should have killed games and that is something that's still obviously here from what ultimately affected us in the game against you man really last year so you're bang on the money with that man would you make a quick atmosphere comment go on yeah yeah yeah I was literally going to say just on the atmosphere comment right I was in the main stand so when he was saying oh the stand behind me we had a chance and they're not getting up for it right me and a couple guys I was with we're trying to sing and people looking at us like we're mad men it's like this is what football's about and you know what one thing I'll say big up like listen Liverpool Arsenal Liverpool and Arsenal are global institutions so we're going to have people travelling from all over that come and big up but I do feel like global fans should sometimes try and tap into the culture learn the songs join because yeah you listen I'm not against taking pictures now it's your doubt you're not here often you live in a whole another country but try and contribute to the songs and stuff because when Klopp said the atmosphere was bad for me one is the psychological thing he's saying that to rev us up for Arsenal number one and I think you know that as well but number two it weren't the Kop and our new Anfield Road star that got expanded them two stars were singing he mainly meant the one behind that's why I want to add the context because if we weren't singing and the ones that were like myself and my couple other guys we were getting looked at like we were mad men we still carried on singing but that's what he means after chances try to rev us up and against Arsenal you're top of the table for a reason we have to listen we have to raise it and you know that saying the 12th man we actually need the top man because that's what got us a draw last season remember it was the challenge on Jaco and Trent Anfield erupted I think the year before that it was nil-nil our 10 o'clock have a bust up we then win 4-0 do you know what I mean so with Anfield especially against you lot we always need our crowd bro but about the atmosphere comments one is mind games it's also to get into our players head and rise it for Arsenal but two he's not literally meaning the whole ground it was mainly the main stand that's one thing I'll say but yeah nah man I think you're bang on the money and I don't blame Klopp because it's about fine margins it's a festive game it's typically a high scoring game I think if you go back to the early 2000s it was more even obviously probably since 2012 13 specifically at Anfield it's not been happy for us I know we've won a couple times in the cup and that but specific to the Premier League it's been brazy so I don't mind him because he's just telling me it's like if you're going to a rave you want all the galley shaking Nash you want all the drinks you want the man them looking lit like it makes sense in it it's an evening game it's under the lights it's Premier League obviously I hope it's boring and Arsenal win but it's one of those games that are going to be the posters for as you said with foreign fans where if somebody says what is the Premier League what's the Premier League about it's entertainment innit hell of goals controversy let me ask you something bro do you know if he's been playing you never walk alone from the speakers at London Colney this week we don't need that now we changed it we changed it he had the right idea with the wrong pattern man it's calm it's calm big boy Salivas there you know Darwin I read another stat bro and they mention it every year you know this is the highest scoring fixture in Premier League exactly that's why I just said there's going to be goals yeah there's always goals bro always like I remember a crazy it might have been free free but when we had the do you remember when we had the goal to wake it I think Giroud scored that was a mad game yes and we nicked it last minute I think it was a yeah yeah yeah you should have won that should have won that bro do you know what if we don't win tomorrow actually then I don't think there was another free free game our first season this is when we had the quartet of Salamone Firmino Coutinho we come Emirates in an orange kit remember we went 2-0 up you come back yeah yeah yeah yeah there's been mad games that's why I wish it was at the Emirates man because Alisson and Van Dijk they always bottle it man I remember Nelson and Lacazette getting on the score sheet man we do it the league was wrapped the league was wrapped up we were hanging over we're still drinking now we're coming into the pitch drunk bro listen I can only do what's in front of us we're still in the trenches man so I'm here for this do you fear Arsenal this season yes I ain't gonna come in there I'm confident I still think we win the game but I do because like I said I think I've told you I come from a household of Arsenal fans my brother my mum my sister bro when we watch the game take and bro forget Twitter in that I have to deal with literally in-house first bro but I do fear this season because again after Liverpool you'll probably see my watch the second most due to them being always on right I told you people you know black men from London they love Arsenal I don't know why they start going United to Liverpool they lead it they get led astray they get led astray man but back to you man right like I feel like this we have to give him credit this season last season I feel like he was a bit naive in certain situations like you said you would you go 2-3-0 up and then he'll do something mad whether it's a tactical decision or whatnot and the other you just give the other team life or piggyback off that comment I think our players as well that extends to our players or him going through to the players because it's like many a times last season you know even to a degree yeah you lot West Ham that kind of period it's like we've clearly prepared for something all week we start the game well house on fire the other team's done like we'll score two goals and it's like job is done now we can kind of sit off and you can't do that that's one thing obviously when I look at City everyone wants to be like them for all reasons they're the guide points but when I look at Liverpool it's the mentality at home it's refusing to die and more than anything maybe not so much this season because you kind of said you know the front three excluding Salah aren't doing it but it's ruthless historically you get one you get two you get three yeah that's what I think we need to add and even Jorginho's come out and said that recently what were the things that the fingers back to your um draft Arsenal comments here one thing I've caught this is like I said I think last season more naive this season he's got so much more tactical now sir there's games where you could be under the coach and I've just seen your back five just be resolute and that's what worries me about tomorrow bro because let's say also get the first goal or you get a quick put like this let me let me say point blank if you go to know what this year I don't think you're losing again so you didn't really I don't think you're drawing the game I think you have to go to you know what big awesome probably get their first win because I look at this trio of Gabrielle Saliba and Declan Rashid and I think triangle man she was like be careful come back you don't bring them babies and I'll be Elliot and Jones and them ---- Academy brothers round it I'll be real I don't think the majority of them will start but bro that trio big up cancer I think culture can said it tweeted it a couple months ago that if you look at title winning teams bro I think Chelsea had Carvalho Terry and check we had Matt it Van Dyck and Allison and I you you know I've had that petite job I'm sorry you know I've had Campbell you would have a Campbell I'm here with your other center back with Campbell I'm trying to think for invincible stable yeah Torey Campbell and layman and go like you're not about widgets Ferdinand van der Sar you get the gist Patrick Vieira I'm here in bare midfielders get here no I mainly I mean I guess I'm on the back five five and then yeah the DMG sorry like the quarter yeah I just feel like this year with Arsenal you have you have the personnel now to go ahead and just get the result you know I mean whether it's ugly whether it's a nice win them that quote sorry not quite because I don't Ryan Rams though I rate but not like you've had better teams in the past I think even you know I think even there's a that would be so that's where I kind of you know I'm not right out and things I like what you do with your passing and distribution I like your calmness which I actually think we need at Anfield but I've not been moved yet when a keeper's been asked to do something traditional I haven't seen the Brentford Ryal I feel sorry for him because he's come into this with the whole Ramsel and all this nonsense but you're bang on the money and that's what kind of scares me as well with your point even that looting game bro Arsenal weren't bad like that game should have been a comfortable that's what I mean to go back to your point like I wouldn't say defensively bro I wouldn't even say defensively I think those three goals I'm not having that man those three goals Raya has to hold his hands up for at least two of them but yeah even Barclay's goal Raya's done poor but as you know in football your goal is your last line of defense I'm not exalting him but I always look at what else has gone wrong before it got to that point Benjamin White switched off Saliba Gabriel switched off Gabriel Jesus Martinelli and Declan Rice all from them corners and we're one of the best teams statistically in both ends for corners so it's them kind of high standards I feel at the start of the season we were very very good defensively good in the middle third and I feel in the final third we were scoring goals but it weren't really free-flowing I think since times past I do think our tetra has found some way of breaking down low blocks looking good in the final third I still think we're decent defensively but I do think them high standards have slightly dropped if I'm honest it's a it's a bit weird and that's what I think it comes down to as I said you've got to be decisive in both boxes bro and we'll get chances we probably will score but those you know is it two was it three four I don't expect to score four against them four win four nil but it's kind of that defensively if I'm Liverpool obviously I feel safe as Inchenko we all know his faults and stuff but logically you've got to look at the weakness who is the one player that you look at and say can be got at it's Inchenko defensively all you know if he goes into there's issues if I'm Liverpool and Raya's rocking up and we know the sentiment said around him let's see what he's like because I like Raya but I've not when you when a keeper's been called to do some traditional goal in goalkeeping I haven't been moved I wasn't moved against City I wasn't moved against Spurs I wasn't moved you know you mentioned calmness yeah but when I when I've seen Arsenal in the big games against this is not say top six but the big six quote-unquote yeah that first hop that first 20 minutes at Stamford Bridge bro you know you're shaky I get into a lot of issues I say the West Ham game in the League Cup and those 45 minutes against Chelsea the first half one of some of the worst football I've seen even United bro even United though that first 20 minutes he was moving a bit shaking that maybe I think he's nearly given it to Hojda and then he had an empty net that Raya it's not really a small game in the bigger games I feel like he's getting a bit nervous and this and there's that saying off the line as well and these things do happen to Raya but this is what I'm saying and you're obviously echoing it's just the bigger games and I think there's that saying Fergie said it Mourinho said it Wenger said it Anfield one of them grounds in particular you have to quiet down the crowd in the first 20 minutes in it some will say yeah the atmosphere's been flat but I feel that for this game because we know the incentives already there it's Arsenal and I to answer your question I do fear you but when this we go top of the league irrespective what Aston Villa do because there's both of us speaking about one or two they're probably going to win before that game and they'll go most likely go top obviously not 100% guaranteed but the incentives there when this game go top of the league we're at home like as good as you lot are and I do fear you I think you look you might have been good this season I rate us or not but this is Anfield and I know that saying might be cliche but this is Anfield and I back us against none of the difference with them they might have been in the mud for the past 10 years though bro we're not we're not like them do you know what I mean but um I do feel I back us against anyone when when they come to Anfield you know what I mean so it'll be tough I respect Arsenal top of the league for a reason and would you even agree I spoke about my front line even your front line to a certain extent yeah but this the thing is there's caveat in a silver line this is because I don't think your front three has been as since today and as last season but then your goals are more spread similar to us our midfield and our defense have been winning us games so what do you actually think of that bro because your front I think you might agree your front three hasn't been as good as last season like I said the goals are more spread now we're finally starting we're finally starting to get to see them consistently obviously Saka has been ever present Martinelli to a degree as well he's come out on an occasion Jesus has had injuries I like them they can put pressure you know Jesus loves scoring he doesn't score many but he loves to score against Liverpool yeah but it's the performance because Gabriel Jesus puts in a defensive shift Martinelli's gonna have to do the same you don't have a record against us for Chelsea good as well you know find the back of sorry Kai Havertz has been the best period you've had as an Arsenal player find something and even you defensively I need those tactical fouls the transitions naturally if you look go forward you're going to be on the back foot defensively and vice versa that's why at the start when I mentioned Kai Havertz Martin Odegaard Gabriel Jesus see Martinelli I'm going to need you lot like it's a team performance it to a degree it will be a good game for the neutrals but I think it's an ugly one I don't want to see I don't really think it'll be a game where you know there's going to be dribbling stats about Saka and Martinelli and waxy lyrical these are the games you just have to muck in so you're I agree with you the problem is you mentioned it earlier you mentioned it earlier I think it'll be cagey at first I think second half bro basketball match I can see it I think by half time I think the first half will be very cagey you'll get people saying this game's a bit boring I think I think it's literally going to be a tale of two halves but I think second half is going to be what you're accustomed to Liverpool and Arsenal just gung-ho end-to-end that's what I think you're going to see you know genuinely I don't think it'll be I don't think it'll be ugly all game and cagey all game and respectful all game because I think especially there will be goals in this game 10 minute battles always saying games like this man like every every 10 different things going on and that's what I said at the start where naturally I would love to go out there blitz you lot you lot are not on nothing everything's there but in a boxing match sometimes you need to box smart in it you can't always knock out your opponent sometimes you're gonna have to take hits bob and weave and survive that's why even someone like Zinchenko against Salah you're going to I need you you're going to lose your battles win the war in it he's going to go past you skip past you every day of the week sit you on your arse as long as it doesn't lead to a goal scoring action that's cool really and truly because that means we can get something and obviously I mean can I chime in on that though bro Salah isn't as exposed we're coming of age you know I mean Zinni shouldn't be worried about Salah skipping past him on the outside he needs to be worried about Salah on the inside this is one thing I would say about Salah the last 18 months not only is goal speak for itself he's become more of a facilitator now as well he's assisting more him coming inside Paul's playing it to Nunez, Gakpo etc that's Zinchenko needs to worry about him on the inside more than the outside that's one thing I'll say that is one thing I'll say that's you're right this is the thing with Zinni like at 26 years of age obviously you can improve I look at Tomiyasu he's never going to be the most glamorous attacking fullback there's ever been but I've seen an improvement in his game and a more confidence there but that's because he thinks as an actual midfielder when you hear the way Arteta speaks about Zinchenko they say oh she put him in midfield he plays there anyways when he talks about Tomiyasu a defender's first job is to defend so for me Zinchenko I like you you have changed our system obviously you know the better we get we need players that are stronger 1v1 but you're never good and as I said you've played enough games as a defender to know to switch on but you know yourself with football my man just found himself playing at left back to get game time at City he's a 10 and 8 by trade that's why they bought him he still thinks like that that's why you do the inverted thing you know as long as the pros outweigh the cons and that's my issue yeah it don't matter if Salah is moving inside or outside Zinchenko needs to think like a defender I mentioned West Ham earlier like obviously even Zinchenko did a madness that went unpunished against Brentford I know he's had some terrible games but I always look at the West Ham game in the League Cup because obviously he was cut open by I think the second goal Kudus got or the second West Ham goal lovely ball over the top it killed it killed Zinchenko and fans were getting on to him and I was saying yeah you've got to be switched on but the ball's killed him but where he could have done better is expect that think like a defender I go back to the goal before that I think anticipate it before it happens this is it and I think the first goal before the corner I think their first goal was from a corner but in the build-up to the corner Zinchenko's done a madness and Gabriel saved him and you can see Gabriel shouting and begging him like patting up really and truly these are the things I'm not expecting Zinchenko to change I just want you to put in a performance why would I not want you to play well I know they're gonna skip past you I know you're like I said you're lunch meat you know there isn't too many per se weak areas of a strong Arsenal level Zinchenko naturally someone you're gonna get you know he's gonna invert in their space that could be exploited you know if you lock him down on the ball and all his quality he ain't bringing nothing you know if you ask him to defend there's issues and naturally you're gonna you know you're gonna pull our team apart Gabriel in our build-up play and in general is gonna have to cover that kind of left-hand side and come over and that's where you said you know with Salah maybe being a bit more central you know Shabazlai making those runs that's where the issue is that's where communication is key and that's where my defense I need you to stand up to Declan Rice it goes without saying but this is where regardless of the result I want to come out of it and say you know what Raya hell you up in it because if you can't come out I'm not saying you have to keep a clean sheet but I need to see my keeper because I know there's going to be times where shots are happening posts are being hit we're under the this is where I need to see it because that's the one thing I did Ramsdale all his mistakes and even probably mistakes he's made against you last season in this very excitement like that's Ramsdale in his bag where Ramsdale has to be kind of like the keeper's not really seeing he gets into it with the fans that's where he starts switching off that's what I want to see from Raya but that's where I know Raya's probably saying he's saying he can't concentrate the whole night isn't it he said he can't concentrate he said his goals ain't a strong point Zinchenko said that I don't really like to defend or something like that we're all madness with some of our players I'm taking a lot of it out of context that they said but yeah of course like for me I don't think fear is a bad thing fear tells me you respect someone if you don't fear anyone or anything in life that's when you get smacked up or something happens to you before I've been there done it you've been in you're not there now but you've been in the territories in terms of winning you've got quality all around the side I do want to see us get at your midfield though because I think McAllister's quality I think Shabazz line's quality but as you said it's a new look midfield I would say ours is probably gelled a bit better historically at this moment in time in the season with obviously Declan Odegaard and definitely with Kai Havertz finding his form I think midfield's crucial and it'll be interesting because as I said Trent whether he you know he's going to be inverting if he plays right back Zinni the same Jesus is going to drop both teams play a high line I do think it'll be quite condensed and quite congested but the transitions I do think it'll be a thing where both teams just need 30 seconds where somebody switched off and then whether the other team scores or concedes that that that is another thing man what would you say is the key battles over the pitch then for both teams like you said I know it's cliche but I think midfield first because obviously McAllister's out Gravenberch picked up a don't do that he's been one of our better players listen Ryan Gravenberch do you see a city that's the same you that skipped past Rodri played it to Trent and we got a win skipping past Rodri I don't think Villa were doing that like what's going on there it's a niggle that our assistant manager Peplin has come out and said he'll be back for Arsenal because he's out against United he's back for Arsenal but with that information you probably don't start probably don't chuck him into that midfield against against Rare some of us in Odegaard but for me it's the midfield battle because again we don't have a competent DM yes Endo's coming to form bro but different horses for courses bro this is awesome do I mean and in our better games he's been Crystal Palace that was like a gauntlet of fire for me he got hooked you know I mean for me I always I've always said you can be Marga as an attacker you've seen your Mahrez's and whatnot because your technical ability speaks for itself but if you're a midfielder bro I feel like and I don't listen I feel like you're like me I like technical boulders I like like Brazilians I like Jogger Medina and that but I feel like in this country especially you need some bracing power bro you need bro you need the only way if it's a small or something like that yeah he's been jogging his whole life man them guys there you need like oh you know you know I mean they've grew up in it where there's a ball at high rate Fabio Cavalli that's in Germany and can't get a game now come on you said he went alone he can't get a game yeah bro he's not playing for that's it but you know one of the reasons we're playing in midfield but he's Marga bro he's marketing he's like where he gets and that's that endo yes I'm gonna give endos juice he's played well against but he's played well in our last couple games I give him credit but for me he's still not good enough and I feel like he should be the second he should be like you lot's el nene by the sound of what you're saying that's the thing that's the thing bro if if he eventually fails we paid a low fee for him he coming as the Milner replacement he's 30 plus that's why I won't be too disheartened if you don't do well because the expectation was because you couldn't get the la vie as the exactly and it's kind of a panic bro and that's the thing the grabbing but signing I was happy with but we also live fans with a rather than another dm that's why we tried to put in the world record bid like you said for a cassette that's why we'll chase in labia so the midfield battle is key for me I think what worries me is rice older girls have it and on the transition so once we've attacked and the turnover him by himself bro and then you've got canary which listen my fan base hate me for this dd but I'm not his biggest fan I feel like his intelligence thing is everyone the thing is you know is aesthetically he's quite pleasing listen you lot have scored the most goals coming like um sean dutch and flipping looting but you men have scored the most goals from set pieces yeah yeah what can i a does he commits when he doesn't have to he makes needless fouls bro and he leaves space in behind you don't want martin any saccharine hazers running in behind to you there's times he doesn't need to um commit listen actually i maybe used the wrong choice of words for me i feel like our families overrate him that over it don't mean bad this is what people get twisted over it doesn't mean he's not like salima i'll give you that bro i was arguing my fan base last summer bro i said saliva's clearing all right no but cleaver ain't won this and that saliva's not gonna win do you know what is it they say they say dg are but who starts for france but that's based on preference bro we saw benjamin not in the spot france team yes it was politics one or he was still france's best number nine just what because just because he went in the team we're going to say oh jerusalem because he starts for france issue is i'm on if i'm honest with the france thing i think saliba's issue is obviously you're out of the arsenal system and i've seen you play on the left hand yeah the left hand side the left hand side of the center back pairing for saliba to really be world class and that i think you've got to be a bit like van dyke where you don't matter if you play for holland or liverpool or whatever your your levels in it but you know all of these players relatively are young everyone guesses it and does too much when i think canada is able to that's one thing you can do you can kind of play on the left and the right for me back to the battles right it's fullback in midfield i think midfield it's from it's probably going to be endo jones and supposedly right and again suppose i recently come under a lot of criticism you know i mean you man are saying have us over him but before rice was decided in the summer midfield i don't know so rosa has been defensively good all this season but brother that's not what we brought you in for like we need this is where ga counts we need your g to come back up a bit more cool he scored a good goal against west ham but them numbers in the league outside the area word they need to they need to start rising but i think that goal against west ham is done a lot for his confidence and you know it would be so sweet the way not you necessarily personally but the way your families have been speaking about him if he gets a winner against you if he gets a winner i would be honestly the man that can get the winner would be harvey elliott i like him as a footballer like when we play against him there's just something so dislike the shithouse yeah like when he plays for your team you love him him in a nice way you need you know he's like he's he's like you're like you're you're bruno fernandez is your yeah you're jamie vardy's like give it to the wave but for me we've touched on it earlier this stream as well the other key battle is full backs because trent probably will start right back even though me personally i'll start gomez crofts gonna charge trent you already know the nightmares martin trent won't get much sleep and trent right back man i hope clock does something big semi castle stayed left back he's been playing well i think semi castle stayed there but for me it's the fullbacks trent i'm not that confident bro i'll be real but you're attacking versus our fullbacks for me it's the midfield and the fullbacks i think maybe the fullbacks is probably the main battles i'll even overlook the midfield and say it's the fullbacks because i think again for me louis diaz bro party done him at the emirates last season he plays with too much apprehension now like the lucy as we knew when he first coming to liverpool be paused but being his all the time getting past his man now bro he's cutting inside all the time and you can tell you remember aduardo for you man when he was cold before the injury i know his injury was a bit more severe the lead break but he never come back the same play and we've seen it many times at me personally i think louis diaz is done bro and but i still feel if he gets space he could hurt who's your right back ben right because even ben right sometimes he gets pulled out of position i rate ben right highly by the way but i think diaz diaz will start on that left even i want to start nunez on the left me personally again i want to start nunez on that left because he started there against west ham gapo in the middle and it was causing problems he scares me because he's so like the thing with nunez he's so banduli like i won't i like him unpredictable i think you're so unpredictable it's like sometimes i think you're crap then i think you're good but even if i call you crap then you're the sort of crapness i like like there's something i like about darwin is random he's one of them off the cuff players as in i don't even think he knows how can the defender know if you don't even know that's what i mean there's something ruinous about how he plays like i don't know you couldn't he couldn't have been in an academy man it just don't make no sense like you don't look pretty like uruguayan players but you've got that uruguayan heart and i think that's why maybe some liverpool fans kind of allow him because that's a south american thing bro you know that tenacity and that they're just a match made in heaven no but i would say even in general bro like most south americans they've got that tenacity bro they're very they don't care never say die attitude but like you're saying the weakness i think sala versus inchenko and whether it will be diaz or nunez one of them up against ben wire and then you lot martinelli and saka versus simikasan and trent i think fullbacks is when both either team will get success and then the midfield as well but i'm back in suppose i end on that to put listen your midfield's better i'm not gonna lie like your midfield gets us i'm gonna call it call a spade a spade your midfield is better in it but listen different for different causes some games bring out certain things in different plays hopefully this is the game where they're like you know what we're showing up yes they might be better than us individually man for man in that mythical department let's show them this is our patch do you know what i mean so hopefully our players rise to the rise to the occasion bro but that's where i think the weakness is and and i think it's i think it's our back line really obviously i agree with you we've touched on it like midfield and the individual battles and stuff i think it's a couple of members of the back line because you know i'm gonna go over the i like benjamin white he's susceptible to going to like lapses in concentration i'm very confident about gabriel and saliba but naturally as i said gabriel's gonna have his work cut out in the channels saliba's gonna have to work benjamin white so you're gonna pull them apart and when you add into that i'm not saying i don't rate raya and whatnot but i haven't you know you haven't earned that credit for me to be like how you lot feel with allison like even if he makes a mistake you've done it for years for us mate so that's kind of where i'm at with the attackers it's a i know we'll get chances i know don't whether regardless of the result i know there'll be things i like but these are games where it's just about being clinical bro like i don't care if we fashion 10 chances and scream about oh yeah you know what if we scored it would have been a different game yeah nine times out of ten this is the one game it needs to count the ball has to go into the back of the net i hope we can take advantage of set pieces as well because that seems to be something we're doing and we've got height but i just think it's about shape but naturally i i think both teams shape is going to be out all out the place because of what the what would be to wrap this up then like score prediction then said it all week and i'm sticking back three two i think we beat you three two i think we like i said i think up until halftime it might be a one one quiet kg both teams respecting each other but i feel like there'll be an early goal in the second half but i don't know who for either team and then that will make it gung-ho basketball s end-to-end action but i think i back us we're at home i think we edge it you know what i'm tired of losing at anfield i somewhat don't believe this but i'm trying to talk it into existence i'm saying four three decla rice winner my pocket man like okay i'm actually tired of losing to you in the league man like it's not nice i do think if we lose gone i know i know we have a l like i know we both begin with l like lute but we're not i just want to stop losing to you man like if we win i don't want to get excited and i think if we lose i don't think it will be a calamitous l like you know jota twisting like boys against men really and truly i don't think it'll be like that but fundamentally we lost and for me it would be more it would show these players that have been here and actually the manager really because you've played liverpool a few times at anfield now you ain't one you can get over that mental block they bleed just like us you know i still wouldn't count my chickens but for as much as i can criticize the spurs the chelsea this game that game if you get something at anfield you don't obviously if you draw i'll have that but if you get a win beach city which we've done you've united nothing to brag about but historical top six side that will tell me it can be done in it and this is where i want to see it because obviously we've got some difficult grounds for us old trafford we don't win there too much a bit like that anfield still gotta go etihad still gotta go brighton and there's probably some teams that are missing out it sounds cliche but every game is difficult in the premier league especially away from home we got palace out the way thank god as well that you know saint mary's southampton been relegated so that's not a thing so it will just show me that there's that we can arrest things and again these goals these games do go either way but for me it's more how it happens and if we give our best i can't really criticize salad does some magic dances past three four players what can you say that you can hold your hands up if it's worth switching off people are not are not rising to the occasion set pieces you know david rye making a mistake and i'm not just saying him i'm just paying examples in chenko being out of position these are the things i can't have because i know it's difficult to stay concentrated for 90 minutes but this is the realm you man do you know it's bro i think i think you're banging the money as well it's like you can lose but it's the manner in which you lose you know like you said if wheels to bat you know which i don't think will happen that's when i think there will be outrage and it'll be a calamity and your fans might lose because you know football fans are quite fickle bro you're either here or you're here bro you're either one end of the spectrum on others but let's say it's we score last minute but you man's giving your all you shut up shop for most of the game it's gonna be got you're gonna be gutted in it but that's what i mean i could say you know what i but i can kind of you know all that matters is a stat we've lost it the negative start stuff keeps going we've lost the six point off but i could hold that if we are to lose one thing i'll say though you put it to win for your club i put it to win for my club but i do feel there won't be a draw i think there is a winner in this game i feel like there's there won't be another draw like last season obviously it can happen but i think either side take this one honestly i can't see a draw in this game tomorrow we're gonna have to wait and see man let people know they can find if i let you get out of it i know you got a stream in about seven minutes yeah no i love that um as always love to have me on bro you're my guy you know this bro but um yeah big six bands the main channel i'm on my boy in months there's there's a lot of even dj has a big awesome community so you've got casey and and kids on there that are um also but i'm on big
