Arsene Wenger will not be rushed into any panic buys despite Arsenal getting their Premier League season off to a disastrous start on Sunday, in which their inadequate transfer business was exposed by a Liverpool side that needed just 45 minutes to work out how to crack Wenger’s makeshift defence.
The England worldwide said that they have “got to be delighted” to return to Merseyside with “three points” as he said that their second-half performance “at times was very good” and “especially” when they “went two or three goals in the lead”.
However, Mignolet believes the Reds were good defensively on the day, but did admit that there are “lessons to learn”. “We all want him to have them because he can produce that, and I think that’s the best I have ever seen him score”, Lallana told Liverpool’s official website.
Bascombe suggests that Milner will be Klopp’s first choice in the role on his return from an ankle injury, despite the vice-captain not favouring a move from the midfield. In doing so Coutinho took his goals tally in all competitions for Liverpool to 30, with 13 of those being scored from outside the opposition penalty area, which testifies his wonderful ball striking ability. That’s what happened with the deflection.
“The moment shifted when they got an equaliser in the last minute of the first half”. But we kept our heads and got back to playing at the level we were at in the opening 20 minutes of the second half. “We were far away today from showing our whole quality”, he said. “We had studied where Arsenal players put their penalties but it was hard because their normal penalty takers weren’t on the pitch”.
That shouldn’t be completely glossed over just because they held on to win the game, but equally any criticism should be kept in perspective because a win at Arsenal means you have done a lot more right than wrong.
“The longer we go on and the closer we get to the end of August, people might think it was a fair price and a good deal”.
