Playing a defensive midfield three of Henderson, Milner and Fabinho for this was so daft. Arsenal were always going to sit deep and counter even before the red card. Milner's given us nothing and Henderson hasn't played a decent ball forward so far. Firmino has his back to goal far too often as well.

I don't know why we don't play Matip in midfield sometimes, he's literally does the job our midfield should be doing. Create and take players on.

Liverpool looks toothless. Saka will give everything out there, Great kid.

Arsenal better without Xhaka.
I don’t know why we were so open at the back before.
It’s a two legs game. 0-0 or 1-0 defeat is a good result. We need a solid performance at the Emirates.

I think Liverpool should have signed Demarai Gray for a backup to Mane and Salah.

How fecking dumb must his brother be that his mother entrusted the keys to him?
This is the eternal question.

In other news…

Partey - AFCON
En Neny - AFCON
Odegaard - COVID
Xhaka - Suspended
Torreira - On Loan
Guendouzi - On Loan
Smith-Rowe - Carrying Injury

And for some reason we also sent Maitland-Niles on loan. We saw that our midfield was getting hollowed out for a variety of reasons… and just sent one of the last available ones away.

Why klopp is playing without a midfield today? Feels like watching 424 formation

I know one of their long balls resulted in a red card but since then Arsenal have been so deep that Liverpool cannot just constantly punt balls from their full backs and they’re looking clueless. Without the magic of Salah, Liverpool were always going to look ordinary.

Liverpool looking clueless because Arteta has sett up the low block
and they don't have salah and mane constantly making runs behind....they don't have any creative players on the pitch right now so this low block is going to be a massive issue for them

Saka has to do better there. That pass from Tierney was excellent.

Tavares wouldn’t have done that.
