Amazing , just as Liverpool looked to be on top it all went wrong.

Rodgers has to take responsibility for his poor defending. 3 seasons of it now. Good teams start at the back.

I think it's harsh to blame him on this absolute capitulation. Could have been a very different story had Sterling taken one of his many good chances.

Fcuking destroying Liverpool at the moment!

It's a strange one. I don't agree that they are destroying Liverpool by any means.

Arsenal dominated the first 10/15mins but didn't take any chances. Liverpool had a few of their own but it has been pretty balanced since then.

Arsenal have just had 3 half (not trying to take anything away from them) chances and have taken them.

I expect Arsenal will take the 3 points but there will be a few uncomfortable moments for both sides in the second half - I can see a few more goals in this game to be honest.

Interesting stat: Kolo Toure has matched Grioud goal for goal in this first half.

bad2dabone

Well this is pleasant.

gosplan

Well that was easy enough in the end.

Tough season for pool. Should look at it as laying foundations though. Vital best players don't leave though.

Osmosis Jones

Honestly praying Enrique is back soon

cson

You'd love to be sitting beside someone like Turty for this match. Or that lad who called Ozil a pub player.

Most enjoyable.

4-1 I reckon.

noodler

I'll never forgive the Cowardly committing by Moreno for the first goal.

I think they've both been poor, very shaky at the back. Arsenal have simply taken their chances.

Ozil and Sanchez quality vs the likes of Markovic really.

Sterling story gathers momentum with this result
He will get a lot of stick now.

You can take solace in the fact that you were never good enough anyway

He hasn't had that many chances and the big was Markovic's fault through his lack of confidence in his own ability rather than Sterling's fault.

Well I'm hardly gonna stand watching the Telly

Liverpool need to bring in a player who can captain the side and lead by example, i dont care what position he plays its badly needed , henderson is not captain material or a leader

Osmosis Jones

The big problem is that it's been 10 months since Suarez left and we still don't have a striker.

It hasn't really opened up for him but he has had the ball at his feet a lot and created nothing.

Peist2007

Draw is 45/1. Arsenal not impervious to serious chokage either in my opinion

So he didn't have chances like you said earlier then.

Lucas Hood

Beglin was obviously taking crap.

ronjo

Shows how important Skrtel is to Pool.

They are awful at the back today.

Wow that is some stat 1994 last time liverpool 3 down at ht in premier league

Awful at the back when he plays as well

Osmosis Jones

Moreno run completely away from the ball there

Kirby

Skrtel would stamp out those defensive mistakes.........

J. Marston

Can wants an early bath.

That's the biggest failing of the season. We never properly replaced Suarez and we didn't capitalise on Champions League football in the transfer market.

Quazzie

Deserved yellow

Petulant yellow borne from frustration.

Away to Southampton

Osmosis Jones

Took Sturridge 6 minutes to touch the ball

murpho999

Has a Rodgers' team ever conceded four goals? I don't think so.

Sterling is poor today.

What happened Kos? He didnt look injured

Easy to say about any player when losing 3-0.

Call it a lack if confidence for not taking the shot if you want but he put it on a plate for Sterling. Mr. I want to win trophies just didn't have the basic wherewithal to anticipate the pass.

Been poor for a few weeks

Especially when he is part of the reason ye are losing by that scoreline.

It was an awful pass

Make it stop, they're already dead. It's like watching Brazil in the 70s

ElChe32

The thing about arsenal is they always try to walk it in
