It's you.

There no real difference. He's never been amazing on ball. Hes best cos hes works so hard and never stops.

Arsenal were not any class. Fitness didn't actually tell. We killed them first half. Absolutely killed them, they had no answer and were one dimensional.

I agree but it's been a mental two years for him. In fact it's to be expected really given the level he was playing at. Still worked his bollox off though

Same goes for Trent.

Yes, that is about right.

Their tactics were suicidal, leaving the fullbacks of Liverpool free and hoping to squeeze the CBs?

But they were so awful, the front three of Liverpool could have and should have scored a hat-trick each

They were making cross box passes which is a crazy thing to do when Liverpool players press very quickly.
Saying that, Pepe was great and should have scored one goal at least.

We had 25? Shots only 5 on target.

Arsenal got away light.

Just compare our press on goal kicks to theirs.

They kept playing it to their left side and we had Trent in the press ffs. So predictable and they just couldnt get out.

Thry ran their own team into ground chasing shadows.

When we had a goal kick Adrian simply pinged it out to full backs as they were so narrow we didn't even need play it to cbs.


We had both full backs snd both wingers as easy out ball every single move today. They flogged themselves.

Having torreira on bench was a fatal error too.

Suicidal tactics really. Ceballos was lighweight and got closed down a lot.

Kamikaze side passes in the box

But I was genuinely impressed with Pepe. The first touch he had, he took on VdV and left him for dead.

Shame his finishing is so bad. It's genuinely as bad as Sissoko's

How did he manage 23 goals last season if his finishing is so poor? Very odd thing to say based on that.

He will do very well this season for arsenal. I expect him to get at least 15 this season.

I would have loved him to join is, but £70+ million for backup to Mane and Salah is too much.

He will be off to Real or Barca in two or three years.

Yes Jim, it’s you

Having said that, Trent clearly needs to work on his final ball.

would've been interesting if Pepe had some composure, first when he skinned Van Dijk only to stand on the ball in the box and then when he tamely shot when 1 on 1.

scoring first would've suited Arsenal's tactics of sit deep and counter attack at pace, moment Liverpool scored first game was over.

Yeah, his assists tally shows how bad his final ball is

Klopp said before the game it is hard to analyse our opponents before hand as nearly all of then change their approach and tactics against us. I mean they used a diamond yesterday which indent think they have played before with Emery. City also change their approach against us.

Footballers will always say they need to improve, he’s not going to say he doesn’t need to work on his game, is he?

That’s different to you saying it though, his assist stats are better than any other right back in the league.

The title run in started on game one, between us and City...... Yesterday’s game just had the usual effect of bringing you gooners back down to Earth after a few flat track wins.....

So me and Trent are right and you’re not.

There’s a reason why our fullbacks get so many assists other than just being good full backs. It’s called a system.

Trent got into a good position so many times yesterday and the majority were poor. That’s objectively true regardless of whether he got an assist.

Me and my mate Trent

Metro, your dislike (or your Brother's ) of Trent has been visible since he first started getting games in the first team. You, or your Brother , have repeatedly hammered him.

His final ball yesterday wasn't great, but you should listen to what the manager had to say. He highlighted at half time to the forwards needed to split their runs. Our fullbacks, even with a the space afforded to them had little to hit at times in the first half.

Criticism of Trent s defending, particularly his positioning and occasional switching off is far more valid, rather than the one area of his game which is genuinely world class, namely his quite superb passing and crossing.

I have no dislike of the lad.

I thought he had a weak start to last season and I’m seeing similar signs this season too.

I pointed out his final ball because in a Klopp system, the fullbacks are the wingers as well as the defenders.

I’m pretty happy to state that I’m a Trent fan. I prefer Robertson as I think there’s more to his game and he’s more consistent.

The general consensus on Trent so far this year is that he must improve. That’s not a contentious point - although T1 has an issue with it.

He peaked last season...now it's about consistency.
