Stunning goal by Isak. Well done the Geordies.

Linked on Team Talk with the above and the Wolves left back Ait-Nouri.

I can. Diaz and 10 others. Anything less is an affront to creativity and style.

Looking forward to seeing Jaros and Moreton, shame Nyoni only on the subs bench.

I missed what the analyst said about Gethin and The Ombudsam but he did say of the triple substitution: All three substitutions massively changed the way Liverpool played but Szoboszlai was the best change of them all. He went to claim this was because Dom improved the service to Nunez and reduced Arsenal's passing options when they had possession. He regularly used the phrase, “massively changed”, when commenting on various topics. It's probably his go-to cliché but he seemed more impressed with the triple substitution than the overall second half performance, which doesn't seem to be the popular opinion on here. No matter, the video is an interesting take on the game and well worth a watch.

Good demonstration of why assessing a midfield player simply on his goals or goal assists underestimates his value to the team. Dom is far more influential than I realised. We certainly improved when he came on.

MOM, and he won the tackle that lead to Mo's equaliser.

Opinions from Sad Cafe. Honest. Watching these teams, we aren't a million miles away from them. Anthony Taylor is a scouse loving w***er. It's like playing against 12 men when he's the referee. A draw just about keeps us in the title race. Between City and Liverpool for the title. Horrible season I enjoyed Gravenberch kicking the ball into Trossard’s face and the foul given. (An LFC fan, obviously)

Just saw Saka's stats for goal assists on Sky. My guess is Curtis will be asked to mark him out of the game as he did to Palmer last week. Good choice if that's the idea.

On the plus side, our starting eleven is certainly stronger than theirs after weeks of worry by some of us. Feeling confident about this.

Donkey's have emotional needs and love carrots. Don't be so insensitive.

Mikey Moore rumoured to be starting for Spurs today at Palace. Said to be so talented he could play for Liverpool or even QPR. Looking forward to seeing the finest English prodigy to emerge in the Premiership since, erm, the last one.

Scientists claim there are 10 billion galaxies with 100 billion stars per galaxy, the total mass of which makes up 4% of the known universe. The other 96% consists of nothing. I assume this 96% includes the staggering number of empty seats at yesterdays game at the Etihad Stadium between Man City and Southampton.

Some of their posters preferred White at FB because he hasn't played centre half for two years, however others are horrified at the prospect of Zinchenko facing Mo. One or two even advocate playing Rice at centre half and/or Partey at FB. I'm sure that would do wonders for their midfield. Their match thread is unusual because it's focus is on Arsenal without the routine LFC insults, apart from someone describing Jotta as a rat. Some are predicting an Arsenal win but most would be grateful for a draw. If their injuries are true a draw would seem like two points dropped by us, defeat unbearable.

The Arsenal Talk forum are anticipating a back four of: Zinchenko, White, Gabriel, Kiwior. Kiwior is a Polish international left back who rarely gets a start. Two left-footed fullbacks against us is a bonus, hope Diaz starts.

Arsenal are not as strong as the previous two seasons. Missing Odegard has diminished their midfield, their attack is still feeble, in defence Calafiori is slower than a slug and having Saliba banned hasn't improved their chances against us. As bad as Arsenal were against Bournemouth, they we even worse last night against a very poor Shakhtar side. We are too good to drop points against them on Sunday unless we gift them goals like last season, and I just can't see that happening.

I hope this is true. Points deduction and relegation to the Championship is an inadequate punishment, City will just return craftier and wiser than before. Thirty five of the charges relate to City refusing to hand over documents or fully co-operate with the investigation, for that alone they deserve a lifetime ban.

I enjoyed listening to Raffa's summary of Curtis Jones performance. Not just his goal and penalty claim, but the bit about Curtis running wide into space on the wing to give a team mate an easy pass. It's not something I noticed watching the match. Hope Raffa appears more often on the telly.

Lets not forget: Seven minutes of extra time, enough for Chelsea to create two chances. It was like having a looney from Sad Cafe on the telly.

We had the pleasure of Gary Neville who drooled when the second penalty was disallowed, dribbled at Gakpo's offside call and almost chocked on his bile at the final whistle. Made my Sky subscription well worth the money.

Apart from their goal what other chances did they create? Steve Nicol is one of my all-time Liverpool favourites, sad to hear him spout that tripe.

Chelsea better than I thought, as was Caicadeo. Palmer didn't do much, one shot at the end of the first half was his only contribution. We beat a good side today with Virgil, Konate and Trent on top form in a strong defence. A good weekend.
