Liverpool do have noticeable holes, particularly on defense – Lucas Leiva gifted a goal to Jamie Vardy.
Despite the weird mishap Liverpool stormed to victory, making it 4-1 with Roberto Firmino’s second goal in the 89th minute.

“When I speak about this, I have to say (to the fans). please don’t sing my name before the game is decided”, Klopp said on Saturday.
“We’ve had two weeks now and I hear a little bit of doubt in your questions”, said Klopp. “It would be really nice if they could stop this”.
We had a minimum 30 to 35 minutes at Arsenal which I didn’t see until then from us in the movements, which were so strong and clear. I didn’t speak about the goal we conceded, I spoke about the reaction we showed after the goal – that made no sense. We have a good team spirit here and it helps in moments like this.
