As well as being able to have a good old laugh at our Premier League rivals, Arsenal fans can, I think, take a lot of heart from the result of today´s early kick off in the Premier League, as Liverpool who have once again been saying that this is their year, were held to a draw by the unfancied Watford.
Just like Arsenal, the scousers main problems were at the back as they also conceded three goals and went behind twice, but the main difference was the outcome,as the Gunners managed to score four while they could only manage three.
Jurgen Klopp had seen his side bounce back from an early free header from Okaka through Mane, but minutes later they were behind again and unlike us went into the break trailing. After finally getting the attacking side of their game going they scored a quick double but could not hold on and conceded an injury time leveller to stun Klopp and the Anfield mob.
The fact is that Arsenal, while also making defensive errors, did manage to lock out the game once ahead and while all of our main centre backs were out of action Liverpool had a full squad of fit defenders to choose from. These things can happen, especially early in a season, so does this Liverpool draw make you Arsenal fans feel better about our own struggle to beat Leicester?
