76 The real Red Army robbed the rich and gave to the poor
A black and yellow figure rushed to the landing point of the ball like an arrow from the string, and when the Liverpool player in the last line of defense reacted and raised his hand to the linesman to signal that the opponent was offside, the opponent wearing the No. 14 shirt in front of him had already run wildly with the ball.

Although the Liverpool fans at the scene shouted offside, the linesman who ran forward on the sideline was unmoved, and he saw clearly that at the moment of the kick-off, Theo Walcott's position was three meters in front of Liverpool's last player!
Offside?
NO, it's good ball!
As a conscientious referee, you will not be disturbed and influenced by the outside world!
Walcott had mixed feelings, on the one hand, he did not expect to save the penalty from penalty expert James Milner, and on the other hand, he was glad that he had the opportunity to score another goal.
As a striker, scoring goals is his calling.
Besides, what striker doesn't like to score goals?
Walcott not only completed his career 100 goals this season, but also scored 100 goals for his Arsenal career in the FA Cup last month.
The milestone of completing 200 goals in one season is worth remembering for the little tiger who is no longer young when he is about to enter his life.
Before this game, Walcott's career goal record: Southampton 5 goals, Arsenal 100 goals, England national team 8 goals, this season's total goals in all competitions 15, a new high in the past three seasons, only 6 goals away from the 2012-13 season of 21 goals, as long as you can maintain a healthy body and consistent attendance, it is expected to set a new personal single-season goal record.
In terms of goal distribution, Theo Walcott has been more efficient in cup competitions than in the league, scoring eight goals in 19 league appearances, three goals in five Champions League appearances and four goals in two FA Cup appearances.
If he can score this one-on-one goal, Walcott's league goal average will reach 0.5 goals per game, which is definitely a first-class scorer.
Although he is no longer young, as long as he is given a little space, there are really few defenders in the entire Premier League who can catch up with the little tiger running at full strength.
Although the tiger is old, the speed is still the same!
The screams of the Liverpool fans could not ease Walcott's flying speed, and Jurgen Klopp, who was standing on the sidelines, did not shout at the players as before, his eyes were nothing but despair and bewilderment.
The Premier League has lost two in a row, the home team has been slaughtered, and it is getting farther and farther away from the top four, and this season Liverpool is again empty of the big four.
The only thing to fight for is to compete for a Europa League place with Manchester United and Everton behind them.
This is Jurgen Klopp's first full season at the helm of the Reds, and many have compared him to former Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers, and when they count the results of the two sides in charge of the same game, the former is actually slightly worse than the latter.
The biggest change the German boss brought to the Premier League's long-standing giants after taking over midway through last season was the infusion of passion and togetherness into the team, with attacking football, scoring the most league goals in the Premier League so far this season with 55, but likewise, 33 goals conceded are the bottom of the top seven.
After entering 2017, the draw away to Sunderland in January became a watershed moment for Liverpool's form this season, drawing away to Manchester United and sending three points at home to Swansea in the relegation zone.
Against Chelsea and Tottenham, the Reds performed heroically, but against relegation teams Hull City and Leicester City, they became the "Reds" who robbed the rich and helped the poor.
Before the match against Arsenal, Liverpool maintained 4 wins and 4 draws against the top four teams, and it can be said that Liverpool has a strong record against the giants.
But the 5 games lost were against all middle and lower level and relegation teams.
In stark contrast to the records of the strong team and the weak team, it is no wonder that it is nicknamed "the real Red Army that robs the rich and helps the poor" by the outside world.
However, the Reds' robbing of the rich and the poor is not unique to this season, in 2008-09, Rafa Benitez led the team to an unbeaten record of four wins and two draws in the Premier League BIG4 domestic war, and beat Manchester United twice, but the title was won by Sir Alex Ferguson's side.
In the 2013-14 season, Liverpool also had a good record against strong teams, beating Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United, and against Arsenal and Manchester City, both with one win and one loss, but Chelsea completed the double, but the final title was taken away by Manchester City, and Liverpool was once again relegated to second place.
Whether it is Benitez's Liverpool, or Brendan Rodgers' Liverpool, or Klopp's Liverpool, it is impossible to escape the words "robbing the rich and helping the poor", but the situation is different.
Benitez's side, the crux of which is to rely on the twin stars of Steven Gerrard and Fernando Torres; The crux of Brendan Rodgers' team is a poor backline; As for Jurgen Klopp's team, there are many sticking points, in addition to a poor backline, there is also too one-dimensional tactics.
Both Benitez and Rodgers have adapted their starting line-ups and tactics to their opponents, although their ability to adjust is different; And Klopp, it's more of a way to the black, to respond to all changes without change, even if the opponent figured out his own routine.
Whether it's a strong team or a weak team, Klopp's tactics are exactly the same.
The strong teams, the top four and Manchester United will not play too conservatively, so their midfield is empty, Liverpool has a chance, coupled with the running that leaves no room for error, you can find weaknesses and give a fatal blow, so that you can maintain an unbeaten record against strong teams with 4 wins and 4 draws.
Against the weak team, Liverpool is still such a tactic, but on the weak side, it is bound to put a bus, the running and interspersing of the Red Army players is not so important, most of the time is on the periphery of the penalty area, thunder and rain are small, then tactical diversification is needed, but Klopp has only one routine.
Breaking down dense defenses, long-range shots and individual player ability are the most important.
Brazilian striker Philippe Coutinho has the ability to shoot from distance but is more often played on the flanks than in attacking midfield.
In terms of individual ability, Liverpool players fall far short of the likes of Eden Hazard, Sergio Aguero and Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
With a weak team or a team that plays heavily defensively, Liverpool's midfielders can't pose much of a threat to the opposition's backline.
When the opponent stands on his heels, it is Liverpool's crisis moment, because Klopp sacrificed defense in order to strengthen the attack, and there is a tragedy of always being stolen by the opponent, and Liverpool has conceded as many as 30 goals in this way.
And the three goals conceded in this game are almost identical, when Arsenal is based on defense, coupled with the performance of Zhang Zhetian, who is incarnated as a master of long passing, and the myth of Liverpool's unbeaten match against the top four is shattered.
Just when everyone thought Theo Walket was going to fire another shot at a scarred Liverpool, something suddenly changed on the pitch.
