421  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Don't only pray for mass adoption, start HODLING!! on: January 15, 2024, 09:34:53 AM

Some people don't even plan to buy any Bitcoin, they are here to participate in signature campaign and they use the money for something else, whether Bitcoin goes up or down they don't care, they want their weekly payment and they are good.





I don't think there is anyone on this forum who doesn't want to own and hold bitcoin. Everyone knows about its value and potential, and I bet you no one hates money. People who join the signature campaign and spend bitcoin every week just because circumstances force them to do it because not everyone has an easy life like you or me. There are many things in life that take priority over investing and holding bitcoin, and many people are struggling out there. Don't rush to criticize those who cannot hold bitcoin because we are not in their situation, we don't know what they are going through.
422  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin as P2P currency vs Bitcoin as an asset on: January 15, 2024, 09:25:04 AM
I use Bitcoin for both. In my country not all business are accepting as a means of payment at the moment, but whenever I go to some places where they are accepting Bitcoin as a means of transaction I pay with Bitcoin. If we all keep Bitcoin as an asset without using it as p2p then I think we are not fully utilizing Bitcoin for the purpose it was created for. One of the reasons why Bitcoin was created was for it to be use as a means of settlement of transactions among peers.

I doubt what you are saying, with the current bitcoin transaction fees, I think there will not be too many people willing to use bitcoin for payment even if you are rich. No one is stupid enough to pay the bill for only $10-$20 but have to spend an additional $5-$10 as payment fee.

Furthermore, there is nothing wrong with people using bitcoin as an asset without ever using it for payment. I don't even care what purpose bitcoin was created for, what I care about is the benefit it brings me. As long as it does not cause harm and benefits us, we have the right to use it for any purpose we want. It is still bitcoin when we turn it into an asset.
423  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What do you think about ETF's? Could they help reduce crypto scam rate on: January 15, 2024, 09:13:13 AM
Can you define what's the definition of scam?

For me scam is something that use to fool you regardless it's direct or indirectly.

The example of direct scams are: ponzi scheme, sell a fake coin, cloud mining, promote a scam exchange etc.

While the example of indirect scams are: most of altcoins which created for a sake of profit, staking program, P2P lending, centralized exchange, banks, fiat and ETFs. Why ETFs is scam? you're not holding the real coin and centralized entity could going to bankrupt.

Your scam concept is interesting. If you call banks, fiat, ETFs... are scams, are you using them? Do you use a bank account, do you use fiat currency for your life?.. If you are using those things but denigrating them then you are a liar. Instead, we should use the word "risk" which would be appropriate for the examples you mentioned.

As a bitcoin investor, we don't need to talk bad about non-bitcoin things because that doesn't make bitcoin any better in people's eyes, we don't need to be so biased.

In addition, if you are not greedy and know how to control your greed, no one can scam you. So when you get scammed, don't blame anyone, blame yourself for your greed.

Inter was never out of the competition as they have being on the first position since the beginning of this season and they have being consistent with their match. I wasn't surprise on their victory yesterday because in the first half, Inter scored 3 goals to show that they must win the game. Also in the second half they scored an additional three goals.

Inter must definitely be the winner of Scudetto this season as they have won 15 matches and drew 3. A great performance from Inzaghi and his men. Juventus needs to try harder an improve their game so that if there is a slim opportunity for them to take over Inter, they will be capable of taking over the first position, but do you think Inter will allow that happen?.
Inter Milan big win increased their goal productivity this season, Monza couldn't do much to dampen the aggressiveness of Simone Inzaghi squad. This victory is a signal that Inter Milan is very ready to compete closely with Juventus in the hunt for the Scudetto this season, and will never let Juventus take over their place at the top of the standings. Inter Milan statistics this season are very impressive, picking up everything from top scorers, productivity and the lowest number of goals conceded. In my opinion, they will lead the Serie A standings until the season ends, although there are concerns that the tight match schedule in the future could shake their stability.

On the other hand, Juventus will face Sasuolo in the match that will close week 20. Sasuolo reputation as a team that can be troublesome is something Allegri should be wary of. We still remember that the only team that has been lucky enough to beat Inter Milan so far is Sasuolo, so Juventus should not underestimate them. Because if you lose points, it will be difficult to suppress and overtake Inter Milan in the future on the top.

Inter is leading the table right now by five points. I think Juventus might actually be able to win the next match and that will reduce the defense to only two points. But still, they are playing really well in this season and most definitely dominating. And I think they have a very good chance to actually be able to win the league title.

But there is a reason why that might not end up happening. And that reason is injury. I don't think if they have a few players injured, they will actually be able to perform as well as they are doing right now. But one thing there will have as an advantage is, Juventus will have to perform well against harder opponents towards the latter part of the season. So that might also make Juventus not win many matches.

Dear, i read your post and In my honest opinion if you have not much money to trade so do not put your funds in risk as trading is the risky part and you may lose your funds in trading. If you asking me Start from holding rather than trading at the beginning and hopd only Good projects in Altcoins like Arb, etc etc....
What you say is very correct, if we don't have enough funds to trade, it would be better for us to hold a certain amount of crypto according to the funds we have, because if we decide to trade, of course there is a very high risk of losing the money we have if we don't. can do it well.



In my opinion, if we do not have enough money, we should not invest, whether it is trading or holding because there is no guarantee that holding will never lose money. Holding is considered safer than trading, but it also does not guarantee we will never lose money. Once we invest to make a profit, we will have to face risks, so never have the misconception that trading is risky and holding is not. It doesn't matter which bitcoin or altcoin you invest in, but if you don't have idle money and you're investing with money you can't afford to lose. It's best that you don't invest.

Where is Jamie Dimon?

One thing I saw is that after the ETFs were approved, many people gloated and started repeating the names of people who criticized bitcoin, calling bitcoin a scam to mock them. But does this make us better? Does it make us richer than them? And is there any guarantee that they are not secretly investing in bitcoin?

I think this will go nowhere and will not bring any benefit to our bitcoin investment. Instead, we should focus on our investments and improve our position and change our lives from our investments for the better.

I think that it is ok to call out influencial people that criticized Bitcoin that it was a fraud, their stance on Bitcoin will undoubtedly influence multitude of people who follow them to think like them. So a milestone like this Bitcoin ETF that shows the SEC approval is a testament of the acceptance Bitcoin as a valued investment asset. So the likes of Jamie Dimon, who are renowned in the financial industry will understand that despite their personal negative opinions about Bitcoin that it's acceptance will keep increasing. I totally agree that we should concentrate more on our investment plans in Bitcoin, than on people that calls it a fraud.
But we don't know what their real purpose is when they do those things. Rich people never want to share their wealth with others, so they will find ways to keep others away from ways to become rich like them. I mean, those who spread negative things about bitcoin don't mean they hate bitcoin and don't invest in it. Maybe they're just trying to keep people away from it so they can enjoy bitcoin for themselves. Honestly, I have a feeling that the people who talk bad about bitcoin are the ones who own it the most. So when we criticize them, it doesn't have any effect or benefit, and it's like we're falling into their trap.
427  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin ETF Approval; Price dumps, what Next? on: January 14, 2024, 11:50:28 AM
....

Are you disappointed? As for me, although I also expected bitcoin to increase strongly, but I was not too disappointed when things did not go as expected because I knew bitcoin was very unpredictable. We should accept what is happening and plan next instead of continuing to be disappointed just because the bitcoin price did not increase in the short term as we expected. In terms of predicting what happens next, I still believe bitcoin will reach $50k before entering a major pullback.

i don't know why people should be disappointed when the price of bitcoin fell by 5% in the last 24 hours, do they think that the bitcoin etf will push bitcoin to its ath? would they have thought millions of people would immediately invest in bitcoin when the bitcoin etf launched? i don't think so since it's just a regular etf, why should people hype something that will only benefit those investment companies. moreover, the future of bitcoin is not only in the bitcoin etf, in the future the value of bitcoin will be even greater with or without bitcoin etf.

Not only many people on our forum, I see many investors also expressing disappointment that the approval of ETFs did not cause bitcoin prices to increase as much as they expected. To me, I think they are not really investors who have faith in bitcoin, they are more like speculators who want to get rich quickly. So they get frustrated and sell bitcoin when it doesn't rise as they expected.

I agree with you that the future of bitcoin does not completely depend on ETFs but I don't think ETFs are meaningless for bitcoin. I still believe it will have a positive impact on bitcoin, but things take time, we cannot expect them to have an immediate impact.
428  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: January 13, 2024, 07:30:30 PM
In today's French Soccer League match, Marseille vs Strasbourg, the two teams scored 1-1. The Marseille team started the game well. S. Gigot scored a goal in the first three minutes of the game. The players of the Strasbourg team were in the first position.  Didn't play well but scored a goal before the end of the game to draw the match. Due to the draw the points had to be shared between the two teams. However, I thought that the players of the Strasbourg team might not score any goals but they scored a goal at the end of the game.  Due to which Marseille team could not win today's match.

Because Marseille managed to make a quick goal in the early minutes of the match, what happened afterwards was that Marseille only tried to maintain the 1-0 score leadership it already had. Obviously, it was the wrong way because after all, the fact that Strasbourg could dominate this match until finally, the efforts that Strasbourg continued to make gave good results in the final minutes of the match. Supposedly, Marseille still played aggressively and had high ambitions to make a second goal but yes, Marseille did not have good effort after that, so the draw result had to be accepted Marseille at home.

I think Marseille decided to defend because they thought if they wanted to actually go on attack, they might leave gaps in the defense. And that was going to be bad for them. They could get caught on the counterattack. But in the end, all they were able to do was get themselves into a defensive mindset and they definitely did not attack as much as they should have.

Actually, they had to pay a price for that as well. In the end, they ended up conceding on the 92nd minute of the match. And it did not matter how much they tried to attack after that. At that time they had to care more about getting at least one point from the match. I can see both of the teams now do not have any losses in the last 5 matches. But I will actually say that both of them can be a little more consistent in their performance.

Complete imitation may not and will never happen, but Werner is trying to perform even better even if only as a player on loan. Timo Werner officially joined Tottenham Hotspur on January 9 2024 and will return to RB Leipzig on June 30 2024. Tottenham Hotspur coach, Ange Postecoglou, is a long-time admirer of the former Chelsea player. Tottenham Hotspur immediately borrowed Timo Werner considering that Manchester United also wanted him.
I predict that Werner will not experience problems with Tottenham's game. I also don't want to say he will be very successful with Tottenham even though I know Postecoglou is a coach who admires his figure.

When Werner becomes a player admired by the coach, there is great potential that he will be entrusted to appear every match and for Werner that is a good opportunity.
It was different when Werner was in a Chelsea uniform, who was not among the coach's first choice of players, making it difficult for him to prove himself because he didn't have many opportunities to play.

If Werner lands at Old Trafford, Manchester United, I will be very happy because he is a player I have admired since he has not yet played with Chelsea.

Well, he is only 27, so I think we can expect good things from him. I think it is going to take time for him to settle. And first I did not think that he would need any time because after all, he is playing here. But maybe there will be a difference between playing as a loaned player and a player that they have finally bought.

Of course, it is very uncertain about his future club. But I think he should be very wise in choosing his future club. I don't think he should choose Manchester United or Chelsea at this moment, no offense to anyone. Because both of those teams are not performing well right now and it can be a very bad decision for his career.

In the Sri Lanka vs Zimbabwe ODI match, Zimbabwe's bowling did better than their batting. If Zimbabwe could have batted well they might have won the second ODI against Sri Lanka but unfortunately Sri Lanka struggled to win despite being given a target of 209 runs. Sri Lanka is not performing very well against Zimbabwe. That's because we don't see Sri Lanka's strong performance on the field against Zimbabwe. If Zimbabwe had batted well, if they had not had problems with batting, their matches against Sri Lanka might have been tight. However, before the game against Sri Lanka, Zimbabwe should be able to bat well and not lose wickets too quickly, then they will do well.
I agree that Zimbabwe bowling was better than their batting in the Sri Lanka vs Zimbabwe ODI match. Sri Lanka had a hard time chasing a target of 209 runs, which shows that Zimbabwe bowling was good. But if took a look on Sri Lankan team. So we will see that Wanindu Hasaranga was also good in bowling he is only the one man Army who collected 7 wickets for 19 runs. He is the player of the match. Excellent bowling by him. I really appreciate his performance.

Well, that was the second ODI. The third ODI is also over. And the final match was not anything close to the second one. Zimbabwe did not have any chance in that match against Sri Lanka. Of course, the whole match was not played because of the DLS method. But Zimbabwe gave a target of 97 in a 27 over match. That is just not good enough to defend against a team like Sri Lanka. So Sri Lanka was able to chase down the target very easily. Sri Lanka also wins the series with this one. I definitely expected a better performance from Zimbabwe in the last match after the performance that they had shown in the second ODI.

You are doing something wrong today is not the New Zealand game today is the 3rd ODI with Zimbabwe and Sri Lanka. The first match of the ODI series was abandoned due to rain and Sri Lanka won the second match. The third match was very important for both teams but the game was stopped twice due to rain. However, the rain has stopped but the play is delayed due to wet ground. The ground will be made fit for play very soon and we will be able to watch both teams play.
The match was has been delay due to rain.Zimbabwe team has played Zimbabwe team was playing quite well in the beginning.After Zimbabwe lost one wicket, their wickets began to fall and the Zambian team was bowled out for 97 runs.Sri Lanka Bowler play very well especially W Hasaranga play excellent prefromance he took 7 wickets by giving 19 run in 5 overs . Now Sri Lanka are playing and Now he has scored 22 runs in 3 overs with the loss of 1 wicket.

Sri Lankan bowlers bowled well today. Wanindu Hasaranga's performance in particular surprised me today. He bowled only 5.5 overs, conceded only 19 runs and took 7 wickets. Because of Hasaranga's excellent bowling, Sri Lanka managed to stop the Zimbabwe team for just 96 runs. Also Kushal Mendis is batting very well today. Mendis unbeaten with 47 runs from 36 balls and Sri Lanka now collect 57 runs. Opener Denial remains unbeaten with just 8 runs from 22 balls. We are enjoying a completely one-sided match today.
434  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you have a "gambling problem" which you can sometimes control for years? on: January 10, 2024, 09:06:52 PM
This is the same in gambling where you just continue playing even though you are losing so much and many gamblers cannot control themselves due to the fact that they are addicted to playing and they don't mind what tomorrow will bring. So they will only stop when they left with nothing and that's when they realized they took the wrong path to spend their money.
Regret always comes at the end, never at the beginning, that's why it's important to always limit your budget and time when gambling. I apply this to overcome my gambling problem, which is sometimes always greedy, playing beyond limits and recklessly, learning from every defeat so as not to lose a lot of money. because there are so many gambling addicts who go bankrupt and fall into poverty, they only realize it when they feel like they have nothing.

If we have budget and time limits, of course we can know when to gamble and when to stop gambling because that's what can make me overcome my gambling problem which looks very bad and maybe this method can also help other people to overcome their gambling problems. The point is, don't really lose all your money and have nothing and then realize it because up until now, regret has always come at the end, never at the beginning.

Once one becomes addicted to gambling, it is very difficult to come back from it. As money comes through gambling, people get greedy. You know greed is sin and sin is death. Actually winning at gambling requires a lot of concentration, if you somehow able to set limits on both of your time n budget when rolling slots then it will debunk a smart direction to managing your gambling activity. Recognizing the potential for greed and reckless behavior and proactively learning from defeat are important steps in overcoming gambling problems. n order to avoid financial losses, it is important to pay attention and play within the limits of gambling. It is best to get control of this habit while there is time to avoid regret later.
435  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Succeeded in introducing Bitcoin to a friend on: January 10, 2024, 12:01:14 PM
Last week, an old friend of mine back then in the university in 2013 who later traveled to Canada to further his studies returned back to the country and yesterday, he coincidentally met my mum at a shopping mall and requested for my contact and my mom gave my number to him so he called and called the nickname that we both normally call ourselves back then in the university days I was so shocked to hear that and I called his original name and he answered and told me he is back from Canada and he requested we meet at a bar immediately.

 So with excitement to hear from an old friend after so many years I just immediately took my bath and zoomed to the bar he directed me, so I got there lo and behold my old time friend. We exchanged pleasantries and started discussing about life and I told him how life have been so uneasy but that I got a job in a factory were am paid $60 for about 2 years now and i told him that my colleague at work introduced me to a forum called bitcointalk where i registered on the forum and learnt a lot of things concerning Bitcoin and i also showed him the amount of bitcoins i have stored in my wallet so far and he became curious to know about bitcoin and i explained everything i know about bitcoin and encouraged him to join me in buying and holdling bitcoin that we are awaiting the bull market after the halving so he became so furious and told me that since he knew me that I don't normally give attention to anything online (internet) but for me to hodl such huge amount of Bitcoins that it means am really serious about it so he became interested and ask me how he can buy Bitcoin as well so I told him step by step on how to buy Bitcoin and he bought Bitcoins worth $520 that is about 0.012194 btc so he told me that he wish to acquire 1 btc so I told him not to worry that he will use the DCA method to buy same amount of bitcoins at different interval then with time he will surely acquire the 1 btc.
My question now is that is it wise that I showed him the amount of Bitcoins I have accumulated before he developed interest?
you have acted aggressively when you can have more time together since you have not seen each other for long time , there are so much time to introduce bitcoin and also showing your wallet that instant?
is this a true story or just a made one? sorry but this sounds truly a made up story for me because all the details are seemingly a book type one.

I don't even believe these two are best friends because if they really are, then why haven't they been in touch in a while when we already have social media and can connect with each other easily? Moreover, they had not seen each other nor talked for such a long time, they would have more to reminisce than to rush to talk about bitcoin or any investment. Furthermore, if I were the OP's friend, I wouldn't be so quick to believe what the OP says and invest in bitcoin without doing any research.
I agree with your suspicion, the story sounds more fabricated than a true story.
436  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What's Your Exchange to Wallet Ratio? on: January 10, 2024, 11:41:51 AM
Does anybody leave a percentage of their BTC on the exchanges, or do you guys store all your BTC in your wallets, etc?
As a businessman in cryptocurrency, it will be so senseless for me to store all my Bitcoins in my non-custodial wallet, nonetheless, I have the majority of my coins there. Also, if I am making so many gains with my trading and investments, I send more to my non-custodial wallets and it has been so easy for me. This is against what I do hear that it is so bad to have any asset in the custodial arrangement, but what about the business around it that the self-custody and even DEX cannot offer you? That is good for those who cannot maximize their earning potential with Bitcoin with what they know and rely only on what the HODLing of the coin can offer them alone.

I will continue to do my style even as I use the Bitcoin-USDT transfer often within the exchange with low fees depending on the market condition and my disposition which has always helped me rather than discouraging me unlike many here would want people to believe.

That depends on each investor. It would be a lie for someone who is a trader to say that they always store their crypto assets in a non-custodial wallet or always withdraw all their bitcoins to their wallet at the end of the day. But if someone has no intention of short-term trading but just wants to accumulate and hold for the long term, storing their bitcoins on exchanges would be the stupidest idea.

For me, long-term portfolios are always stored in hardware wallets, and part of the capital used for short-term trading is stored on centralized exchanges. Risks are always present when we leave money on centralized exchanges, but to be able to trade and make profits, we really have no other choice.

Jordan Henderson will have the opportunity to return to playing in Europe because Ajax Amsterdam expressed interest in signing the English player if he gets the green light from his current club to leave the club but Henderson has not said yes because he is still waiting for other options. https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1744705766571811317
I think this is a good opportunity for Henderson to return to Europe because in the Saudi pro league he is not at a good enough club, Al Ettifaq has not managed to win in the last eight matches in the Saudi Pro league, but maybe Henderson hopes for a better club than Ajax but the question is whether Al Ettifaq will let him go.

Differences in culture, weather and atmosphere are the reasons why Jordan Henderson does not feel comfortable staying with Al Ettifaq until his contract expiry and without half season he want leaves Saudi Pro League competition. It too short journey for Liverpool former Jordan Henderson although he has large payment salary with Al Ittifaq than his previous club Liverpool. I don't think not all europe players not comfortable with atmosphere or weather in Saudi Arabia because Cristiano Ronaldo have been two season but keep comfortable and adapt well with culture there.
Return to the top european teams seems difficult for Jordan Henderson and I think Ajax Amsterdam is good choose for him but need agreement to reduce his salary payment before than receiving with Al Ittifaq.

Well, one thing is for sure, he is going to get a lower salary from Ajax. Actually, he's going to get less salary from almost anything that he is going to go to except for the Saudi pro league. No club is going to actually waste money like that.

But one thing is, it will probably be a better competitive situation for him. And I believe he has also said that he is not liking it in the Saudi pro league. So probably this is the best decision for him even if he has to take a little less salary. Well, it is not going to be "little less". But it is what it is. He is also pretty old at this point. So he does not have much time to play as a very competitive player for a long period of time.
438  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Saudi Professional League 2023/2024 on: January 09, 2024, 08:47:32 PM

Yes but I think especially the fans are beating a dead horse in this game, if Ronaldo and Messi play at all. They hope to get the same drama and intensity that the Spanish fans got when they went into the stadium or switched on the TV to see the best Ronaldo compete with the best Messi. The coaches competed with each other, there was always insane drama and goals and envy. There were fouls against the superstars like in no other game (Pepe and Ramos against Messi) and so many other things that made these games special. Those times are over. The fans may have wrong expectations for that game no matter where it takes place.

Even though Ronaldo and Messi at this moment are still actively playing but yes, even though there are sponsors who make friendly matches and bring Ronaldo v Messi together. But for me, the atmosphere is different and it looks like there will no longer be as much tension as when they played in the El Calsico match in the Real Madrid v Barcelona match. After all, if at this moment they meet, at least it's just for entertainment and that way, of course there won't be high tension in the match. Because ya, after all, what makes or makes them more interesting is the competition for their team's position in the standings. But if they only bring them together in a friendly match, then I think it's just purely for entertainment.

I know a lot of people do not want to admit this. Sometimes it is even hard for me to actually admit but the truth is, it is actually over. Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are not the best players in the world anymore. And the days of El clįsico where both of them play against each other with probably the two best clubs in the world, those days are over. Now all that remains are the highlights of those matches and the memory of a certain generation of football fans. Now even if they play against each other it is not going to be as competitive as it was back then. Even if they go against each other in the World Cup, it is still not going to be only Messi versus Ronaldo. It is going to be Argentina versus Portugal.

Again excellent played Australian Women team. And they won the series with 2-1. India took the first turn but the score wasn't high. They set only 147 runs with 6 wickets lost. But Australia was strong and they chased the target with remain 7 wickets and 8 balls. By the way both teams played well India also tried well but unfortunately Australia defeated them. And won the series.

IPL made India the strongest team in T20 cricket, but it took almost a decade. Similarly, WPL was kickstarted in 2023. I guess it will take at least 5-10 years for the impact to be felt at the international stage. For now, teams like Australia, South Africa, England and New Zealand are much ahead of India as a result of their well established domestic structure. Apart from the WPL, domestic cricket in India is still in a pathetic state. Some improvements are being made thanks to increased funding from the BCCI, but it will take some time for the effort to get translated into performance.

In the 2nd T20, the batters had let the team down, now I think in the 3rd T20 the bowlers have let the team down for India. None of the bowlers economy was good and every one of them had an economy over 7 and some of them had an economy over 8. If you ask me, the Australian women's team has chased this target very easily. The Indian team had a good start with the bat and I thought they would take home the T20 series the way they were playing but Australia showed them who is better on T20.

India only won the Test series and Australia won both the ODI and T20 series so I guess that is an overall series win for team Australia. The Indian team has shown improvements and looks like it will be a challenge for the Australian team in the future.

I this agree with the post above me, I don't think arsenal tried to win that game, I watch the match and first half both teams played very poorly, the chances Arsenal had were never a serious threat to Liverpool defense in any way. I think it was generally a boring match and both teams did not give it their all, Liverpool had some luck to end up winners in the end.
I don't know how you judge the game play of a match, of course because I don't agree with your opinion. Both teams played well throughout the match and Arsenal had better form in the first half than in the second. Arsenal posed a threat to Liverpool's defense with several shots on target, but unfortunately they failed to score. In the second half Arsenal tried something better, but Liverpool were able to match it and lead the match until they finally won the match. Not boring at all, unless you bet on the wrong choice.
I personally watched the game and can say it was a tense one. Arsenal are not good at finishing, that was a problem before an own goal started Arsenal's defeat to Liverpool. So I don't agree with your assumption, because I enjoy their games.

I would say we saw Arsenal's dominance in the first half. Liverpool played a defensive strategy in the first half. They don't try to attack too much. Perhaps Kopp tried to find the weaknesses in Arsenal's defence. Although Arsenal played well in the first half, Arsenal failed to dominate in the second half as Liverpool's players played very attacking. In the second half Liverpool players were able to make several great attacks. Also, the performance of Liverpool's players was very organized throughout the match. Arsenal lost due to their poor match tactics and weakness of attacking players.
