Classy Arsenal vs us there, Diaby and Arteta owned the midfield and we were chasing shadows; screams of ole,ole,ole as Arsenal passed it around us and boy oh boy did Gerrard look like an old man.
On the positives Raheem was just fantastic, his attacking and tracking back was superb and JoJo showed that he should be a first team regular now.
Before we all go over the top, lets just remember that we do have the players but BR needs time to impliment his sytsem;it may take 15 games to start playing as he wants. I didnt expect such a a poor performance, and that has nothing to do with a new system but lets be honest the players were just plain and simple rubbish.
Word out to Arsenal, well played and you did muller us at Anfield.
Last point......Arsenal 0-2 Liverpool at the start of last season, everyone wrote Wenger and Arsenal off; let them have their day believe in the manager and the players and we will get better.
Arsenal were just better...massively.

arsenal are a decent side. i don't think they'll get top four unless they sign a top striker.

Very very gracious Got_Better
You really have a player in Sterling. And IMO you have the right manager to get the best out of him!

Liverpool need to stick with BR for at least the season, hopefully 2 Allen/Sahin/Gerrard are a great midfield trio to have & Sterling looks top draw!
Suarez is a good player but you need a goalscorer for sure! Give him some time, bring in a GK & forward and i think you'll be alright once you start playing the Brendon way

I think Arsenal deserved to win but massively better? No. Arsenal Should have been better considering we are changing our style of play to something they have been doing for years. But well done anyway.

Fair play, GB. Seeing Mertesacker up against Suarez at the beginning had me fearing the worst.

Lets make no mistake, Allen, Sahin, Sterling are better players than we had last season; the whole world and its dog know that we need a striker,lets hope LFC are working on getting a freebie from somewhere.

Not sure that's a great excuse considering like you, we had 3 new players starting today. Your team has a lot of good ball players. Dropping Gerrard and getting someone better than Borini is your final step to actualizing Rodger's style.

Agree with G_B On today's performance I think Arsenal are going to have a very good season indeed but time will tell. Some great signings by Wenger.
I really enjoyed watching Liverpool last week and was a little disappointed that they shot themselves in the foot against City with the goals they conceded. Give Rodgers some time and I think he will do well.
