Massive 3 points for us in the top of the table clash.
Barring a massive fack up in the last second of the first half and the first 5 minutes of the second half we were excellent and ran out well deserved winners.
Liverpool returned our gift with one of their own to win it for us, before it was sealed in injury time.
Jorginho was excellent. Ran the game from deep.
Martinelli troubled their defence from the start, as oft he does when against TAA. Bradley was a big miss for them, strangely.
Another goal for Saka - the fact people think he is having a bad season shows his quality.
They only had one shot on target, and never really troubled our goal - it took Gabriels hand after Saliba and Raya's mix-up. Other than that the defence didn't have a great deal to do, with Jota anonymous and Gakpo crap.
Konate got the red he deserved at Anfield.
Can't really have any complaints. Taken 4 points from the league leaders. Have to be in the race now, as long as we get revenge on West Ham next week...
Great win!!!

It was a good decision by Arteta to start both Jorginho and Rice for this game.

Agree. Was sceptical but Jorghi for was MOTM in the end. More than decent.

Great game. First enjoyable game against Liverpool for a while where it just felt like we would win, far too good for them. They are a very different team without Salah, and VVD just looks an accident waiting to happen.
That should kickstart our season again, they will be buzzing in training. Tomi, Jesus, Partey to be in the squad next week hopefully and go from there.

Partey? Didn't he just have a setback with a potential long-term absence?

Saka has scored 11 in all competitions so far this season and managed 15 last season and he's apparently having a poor season. It's extremely likely he will better last season's talley.

Saka is not having a poor season. The weight of expectation on him with every other attacker in the club not contributing enough is why many chat a lot of chit about Saka.

Saka should be subbed at times though, he doesn't have to play every single minute of every game.

We had 3 leaders in midfield today, all were impressive.

Subbed for who though? With the likes of Havertz and Vieira, we've made far too many ineffective attacking signings - not mentioning already having unproductive mediocre players like Nketiah and Nelson on the bench.
