Liverpool have taken the lead after Diogo Jota has walked through our defence before placing his weak effort beyond Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdsale.
While our team has started brightly, already the Reds have had the ball in the back of the net twice, albeit with Matip clearly offside for the first which was rightly ruled out, but we cannot afford any more mistakes like we have just witnessed.
Jota has nutmegged Tomiyasu before cutting across both centre-backs before his weak shot has dribbled past the back line and into the goal.

There is plenty of time to get back in the game, but it definitely wasn’t the start that we wanted, and we need to be focused at both ends of the field if we are going to reach the final.

Smith-Rowe, Tomiyasu aren’t fit, Lokonga needs help.
There is definitely a wide gulf between Arsenal and Liverpool. We are just passerby the whole match.
This transfer window has just become even more important.
Buying another TOP Defensive midfielder(Not Melo) in front of the back four, and a forward who can put the ball in the net, are vital.
If Arteta, Edu and the Kroenkes need anymore evidence then they just have to look at this game.
If we do not get those two players in this window, I cannot see us finishing in the top four.
If we do not get into next seasons UCL tournament we may find our better players are poached.
The Arteta revival may just fritter away.
Fingers crossed Arsenal Fans, that a miracle will happen !!!
Another DM? We don’t even have one! Partey is a B2B midfielder actually.
