Luiz is a shite defender. Always was always will be and Salah showed it in technicolor. |

We are giving them all the time in the world to play passes. They were coming off extra time midweek. I’d rather play that pool |

Game plan working ok, getting the best chances on the counter but fail to take them. Then concede from a corner, the sort of goal a non league side can score against you is particularly annoying as we’d done the hard bit of defending. Then a classic arsenal moment of madness and of course we crumble. We may be better than last season but it feels like baby steps when you see this sort of thing. So few other teams just lay down and for once the first goal goes against them. Norwich put up more of a fight, and we’re bravef than us |

The test now is to see if this team has any cojones and to see if it still fights and tries to win the game. |

We’ve had nothing in midfield all game, I think it makes sense. I think we have to be accepting of it when when we’re very much in transition and we play Liverpool way third game of the season. Whilst there is a limit, I’m happy to basically ignore this result and carry on improving. |

Early season optimism draining away.... This will happen season after season at anfield. We are no match for them on their own patch. Was faintly hoping things would be different today but deep down you knew it would be another sound beating. |

I think we’ve looked a bit more secure since he’s come on. Some thinking to do for emery and Edu for sure but it’s a stern lesson they’ve got to learn from. Guendouzi want too much time but then we knew that. |

Unlikely to make any difference to the result but missing the first choice full backs is hurting us. The difference between Bellerin/Tierney and AMN/Monreal is quite big. I wouldn’t have minded facing Liverpool minus their two full backs and with ours. Liverpool have 11 players who know the exact plan inside out, they know exactly where they should be and where they should run and who they should pass to. They are also built as a team with attributes to perfectly suit their managers game plan, fast, athletic, high tempo, and relentless fitness. We’re taking baby steps in trying to catch them up. We have some forward players who wouldn’t look out of place in Liverpool’s team but our midfield is incredibly pedestrian compared to Liverpool. On pure talent I don’t think there is a massive difference but it is the mobility, energy and know how that kills us |

Positives today: a few cameos from Pépé. Otherwise, it's as you were since last year. And Mustafi isn't even on the pitch! That summariser on Sky is describing a different Arsenal. |

I fancy us to beat them at home later in the season which sounds crazy after this. But it make sense when you think about players bedding in and players coming back. |

Gunfire wrote: I think Monreal has played well Fair. His lack of pace has been exposed, which was always very likely. Guendouzi and Ceballos below average and bad respectively. Pépé class touches if lacking a bit of fight and end product. Torreria looks out best player since coming on. Luiz again lack of pace more than anything which you’d expect at 32. Most everyone else ok. Liverpool - ruthless. |

Disappointed not to play Lacazette from the start. I’d be interested to see how many other teams decide to not play one of their first choice strikers at Anfield. With the best teams you can name their best 11 and the formation they’ll play. I think arsenal have played 3 different formations so far this season |
