I'm still not counting any chickens, or any other animals for that matter just yet.

Don't be so paranoid, this game was dead on arrival

Tucking into a full Irish..
Funny listening to BT say one team is a well oiled machine and the other is Arsenal .
Geez, Arsenal are a pt off second there is a reason for that.
It's like suddenly Liverpool are great again, we all know we are far from it and far from a well oiled machine. We are a Fiat at best, fine one day and broke the next.

There are 10 of them in yellow, for those of us that are counting.

I like Wenger. I respect his legacy in English football. I appreciate how he conducts himself with class. I suppose because, inherently I've always been pro Wenger, it's not enjoyable to watch to see his teams being humiliated on, what seems like, a weekly basis.

It's also sad that, for Wenger in 2017, being tactical in a big game means trying to sit deep, hit on the counter attack and bypass a press through long balls. Compared to Klopp, and a lot of other coaches too, Wenger has looked like a coach from a bygone era, possibly because that's what he is. There's so many flaws and faults in his set up of the Arsenal team today (and in every match but not every team can take advantage of that). It's time for Wenger to go, it's been time for Wenger to go for what seems like an eternity.

Wenger will get so much stick for having Sanchez on the bonch .

Berserker

No surprises so far in this one. Arsenal toothless against a top six side and Liverpool cruising against another top six side. Burnley will be a much tougher ask for Liverpool next time out.

Obviously Lallana has been the standout so far, but Wijnaldum has been excellent as well. No one in red playing badly of course, but thought Wijnaldum deserved a mention as he isn't an obvious candidate for it today.

I love Wijnaldum. Brilliant player.

Don't be so tough on yourselves, you're an Alfa Romeo

Mr.Crinklewood

Excellent finish from Mane

GavRedKing

Sanchez on

Harry Palmr

Well that was predictable.

Osmosis Jones

Clyne beaten by Sanchez already.

BorneTobyWilde

Would love to see Liverpool play smart and do a defensive job on Arsenal in second half.

Osmosis Jones

Next goal determines the result

BorneTobyWilde

WHAT A SAVE !

5starpool

Great save, danger signs.

Osmosis Jones

Milner twice got it under no pressure there and hoofed it away.

What a save, not easy for Liverpool so far.

GavRedKing

Thats a great save.

martyos121

Incredible from Mig there, not just for the save, but for intentionally tipping it onto the bar so he could then catch the ball.

BorneTobyWilde

It's one thing saving it, it's another to push it up and over bar.
Great goal keeping

Osmosis Jones

What a wonderful turn.

Osmosis Jones

Klavan wins the ball, then messes up the pass and is completely out of position.

Vicxas

Completely different Arsenal time after half time

GavRedKing

Arsenal back in this now. If they started this well it might be a different scoreline

5starpool

A 3rd on the break to kill the game would be pretty sweet. Dangerous free now.

martyos121

This free is going into the top corner.

GavRedKing

Good place for a free kick

Liverpool are getting the next goal.

5starpool

First challenge was a foul, second was mostly a dive.

Osmosis Jones

Could Coutinho recreate his free kick at the start of the season?

BorneTobyWilde

Arsenal will need to score two and hope Liverpool score no more to make it 2-2

Osmosis Jones

That's too fcuking easy. Mignolet should never have come out for that.

Quazzie

To be fair Liverpool players are dropping to the floor with incredible ease.

martyos121

Ah fcuk. Crap defending.

Vicxas

What was Mig doing?!?

Osmosis Jones

Shooting himself in the foot there. Quick Arsenal second on the way.

GavRedKing

Welbeck got lucky with his touch but thats a very composed finish.

FACT!

Harry Palmr

Over-committing - Klavan was wayyyyy up the field just a moment earlier.

or Arsenal

Osmosis Jones

That's such a tight finish if Mignolet just stays in his goal.

GavRedKing

You cant bench your star player for tactical reasons and then be amazed that he changes the game.

What was Wenger thinking.

Welbeck has been almost totally anonymous so far.

Probably get second now

very sloppy defending. From the moment Firmino hit the ground, there was no engagement from anyone from Liverpool to the attack. Sanchez let run too far.

5starpool

Liverpool will need a 3rd to win this game (or draw even). Almost certain to concede again.

There are some impressively bad haircuts on show in this game.

Wish coutinho would shoot instead of lashing it across the box everytime

Jesus christ can we ever just shut up shop and close a game out
