More than a few posts in here complaining just about Liverpool.

Credit Arsenal, just a bit? Aliadière, Baptista, Denílson, Cesc, SONG & Djourou were particularly good I thought.

No surprise that Cesc had a decent game. But a real surprise to see Song playing so well.

Liverpool's team consisted of a lot of players who had Champions League experience - some of whom played & won a final. Whereas, most of the Arsenal team were youth/reserve players, some of whom haven't even played in the Premiership.

Rafa picked a team capable of winning (in his mind) and at the start of the game, the commentators & Liverpool fans I knew, were NOT surprised and expected them to do a job, lead by Stevie 'The Super World class Player Legend' Gerrard. But our kids made a mockery of them.

And I was disappointed that Touré and a good backline accompanying him conceded 3 goals. Good confidence booster for Baptista, even if it was easier than a training game when Aliadière did the work and fed him the balls.

I suppose I should give Aliadiere for taking advantage of Paletta's poor defending but he made it too easy for Aliadiere. Paletta was brushed aside on two of the goals, was easily beaten and he didnt track Aliadiere for the first goal.

You have a good point there, we only had four youngsters on so we really should have done better.

When I seen the two line-ups, I predicted a tight game and if we could nick a draw I would have been happy.

When the 4th Arsenal goal went in it was a comedy show for Liverpool. But in saying that, when I seen the Liverpool team-sheet for the F.A Cup game there, I expected a strong performance with Liverpool and a great threat - whereas in truth, it was another one of our easiest wins this season, just like the League game at the Grove when we walked a 3-0 win.

Ok ok...Dont rub it in

No go on.... Please do.

Yep agree with that. Liverpool were good but Arsenal were alot better. In 2-3 years time Asenal will dominate world football & will win trophy after trophy after trophy. No team in europe will stand a chance against them, not Liverpool not Barcelona not United not Chelsea not Inter NOBODY will have a chance. Im already scared about them facing United in a few weeks

I'm a bit late with this post, but I never would have thought I'd be in the Anfield Road stand surrounded by fans chanting "We want 7".
But, it happened yesterday

Not too far down the road there was a bluenose shouting it too m8

Michael Jackson has signed for Liverpool FC
















Apparently the prospect of being spanked at home by 11 kids was too good to turn down.

Not really mate. A racket doesn't make that much difference, especially on a back-hand where a tennis player has to play across his/her body. Goalkeepers have a smaller area to cover than a tennis player and you also need to remember that a tennis player isn't able to dive quite like a goalkeeper.



The small jump takes a split-second for a tennis player as well. After the jump, the next move that the goalkeeper makes should be decisive as the ball will be hurtling towards him. Just because he has to be decisive, this doesn't mean he is more likely to make a wrong decision. The goalie can still decide to jump left, jump right, stay where he is or even more to his left/right without diving. After a small jump, you're not commited to a restricted number of options. What the goalie should be doing is timing his small jump so that is occurs early enough for him to react to the situation. This should prevent him from losing that split-second.



Why is that? I don't see that a small jump makes a goalie more commited to any particular action. If anything, it gives him more options.



Surely if it allows a keeper to react more quickly in a penalty situation then he should have the same advantage in a freekick/long shot situation? Also, after performing a small jump a keeper is able to dive quicker and further due to the release of energy that you can get when the body goes into compression. This has to be a good thing, right?

As I said before, I haven't see the Dudek jump and so I can't really comment on that particular situation. I'm just trying to visualise what Dudek is doing and put forward some other possibilities. Over to you Forev.
