I follow a lot of Americans on twitter for the NFL and a few were questioning this! Was nice to know people watch us in the USA too even if it's just because of Brad

He's way too close to the centre back, needs to be wider. He's not in line with the back 4 either, keeps running 10 yards forward to run 30 back

Luna has been awful defending today, his positioning at times has been shocking! The amount of times the ball down there right is on and he's having to sprint back is worrying!

Christ he's looked awful today! Positioning sense is nowhere to be seen

Still think Bennett is a good player, unsure what Luna has done to "appear" so much better other than score. His defending hasn't been great and I think the medical team are still helping him after Ben Arfa tore him a new one! Bennett shown at the end of last season he was turning the corner and becoming a premiership defender and i was looking forward to him getting even better this season, just unlucky that he got injured pre season.

How is that a yellow card though, think the ref felt he had too as it was that bad! Hope refs in the prem have more sense or him and Benteke could be sent off each week

Thread for all the best gifs to come out, that's what I'm hoping this was created for and the op is just a smoke screen!

Thats complete rubbish. The difference being that their respective boards made the money available for the manager to sign those players while our board refused to back Lambert on several of his targets. Rodgers said Suarez had a valuation that wasn't met by arsenal, you could easily say that Wenger wasn't backed with the funds.Yet Arsenal then paid £42.4m for Mesut Ozil out of a reported 100m plus transfer fund. So you could say Arsenals board would only pay for one, and Wenger not being backed, as he wanted both opted for Ozil. No you couldn't say that due to Arsenal's transfer fund. Which was what?!? Arsenal have a way of leaking good sounding news around seaaon ticket renewal time which was when it came out they had 100m to spend. To me the Suarez / Ozil side is the same as the AM / Kozak side for us, both managers probably wanted both but had to choose the 1 they thought would help the most, we're just on the cheaper model

People seem to expect Randy to cover the debt each year and then spend loads on transfers as well. I think we need to get the club covering most of the day to day costs and then Randy will happily throw more money at it. Everyone says the club is still in debt but that has to be paid off each year too, and it's the owner paying that!

Seems deceivingly fast there too! Movement for the 1st and the sorting of his feet was brilliant

When the team plays as well as we have the 1st two games and we've looked like scoring in both, I don't see why anyone would want to change the team. Don't think he's played badly, just had some shots well saved. Can see him kicking on as soon as one goes in

Don't see the criticism to be honest, midfielder runs from deep and plays a 1 2 with a striker it's always the midfielders job to follow him. If a defender sees the issue and tries to stop it that's good defending even if he doesn't get there in time

I imagine the whole "first home game" and the fact he was injured for a few preseason games just made him try too hard, definite flashes that he could be brilliant, just when he finally calms down. Few sub appearances to start with to deal with the situation and environments and I think he'll play a big role for us this season

1st thing they've done really and needed our player to put it in, still think we've played well

Some of the passing and ball retention has been awesome! Looks promising to me

Exactly what happened in Bentekke saga last season and it went down to the wire Sounds like he won't push through the move like Benteke though, sure I remember reading he said he was happy there although with the amount of rubbish thrown around that could be lies too

The clause could be like Suarez where at a certain value the player must be told and can talk to the club but they don't have to sell, maybe we were hoping he forced his way out slightly and we save a few million

Love the football we played for that 2nd goal, pretty much all through Benteke but the speed and movement was quality!

Suarez is banned for either games so no worries there! Think we can beat all of them, but imagine 4 points is most likely/hopeful

Young is the only player I've been able to watch that got people out of their seats running at a defender, he was exciting to watch and I'd love to see him back here!

The comment by Okore regarding the phone call to him makes me think Lambert has a lot of influence when it comes to selling the club and his long term plan, makes me more optimistic straight away as the players will want to play for him more!

Clearly Lambert likes him then if he's got a new contract, hopefully he'll come through this season!

However unlikely this one may be, I like the fact we keep coming up in foreign media. Hopefully makes us higher profile and a few more people know about us
