Arsenal Vs Liverpool: Full Time Statistics

Liverpool shared the spoils at the Emirates Stadium after a controversial ending to the game. Eight minutes of injury time were added on because of Jamie Carraghar's accidental KO after a clash of heads with team-mate John Flanagan. The controversial part was that Liverpool were awarded a penalty after the eight minutes of injury time were remaining.

Lucas – He doesn’t pass it forward, does he?

The longest myth going about Lucas, has been that he only plays the simple pass, and this is mainly sideways, or back-wards. This brief post is aimed to demonstrate he really doesn't, and I have taken 3 randomly selected games from this season which Lucas featured in to help explain.

Full Back Comparison: Glen Johnson, Martin Kelly & Glen Johnson

Liverpool's defense has suffered some serious injury blows in the last few days. Daniel Agger has been ruled out for the rest of the season whilst both Glen Johnson and Martin Kelly will miss the majority of it as they're facing another three to four weeks out.
