Good thing we don't play Arsenal away every week then isn't it.
Also Ali and Virgil don't make howlers like they did today every week.
People need to stop crying and get a grip.

We shouldn’t be talking about next season. Klopp started today with 16 league games left to win the league: now that he’s going it doesn’t matter if he panders to egos.
We have some good rest between the next two league games, then a long break for cup games til it restarts:
We have time to fix this lack of cohesion.
We’d have lost to a number of decent sides away today. It’s not like Arsenal were at their best either beyond just targeting our right side over the top repeatedly.
We can talk about whatever we want mate ... it won't affect the team
But the fact is we don't. Before today we've "lost" 1. Most teams don't have the defensive quality in their sides like Gabriel Saliba Rice etc.
Arsenal need us to drop more points but not against City. They need us to beat them
Surely the worst possible outcome was to lose both?
Felt like we had too many things stack up against us and it all came to a head.
TAA coming back from injury, so the plan was always going to involve Bradley. That went out the window with the sad news about his father.
Szobo's injury adds to this.
Nunez picking up some kind of problem adds another element.
And that doesn't even start to get into Salah and Endo not being around.
Anyway, fuck that, on we go. Arsenal won't stick with the pace.

Depends on your view of fixture congestion.
They most likely won’t. But they were celebrating as they know they’ve handing a huge advantage to city in the title race.
Maybe it’s my fault for that “the squad” thread. This is why I’m glass half empty… from now on, normal service to resume.
But tbf we were really using the dregs of the squad today. Let’s hope it makes us really step up for the rest of the season. We have proper leaders back from international duty or injury in Endo, Mo, Roberton and Szobo. We need that leadership and influence across the team.
I love the performances we’ve had from Jones, Macca this season but there wasn’t a shred of leadership in midfield today.
Agree that Klopp will go with Trent at right back. But should he? On recent evidence, it seems more clear than ever that he shouldn't.
First bad game of the year, we'll be back quickly.
A few days ago after beating Chelsea, we were talking about how great we looked.
Let's not lose the head
& tell Jannno Binomial thinks she's a massive cunt.
I'm disappointed about the result but it hasn't ruined my evening. I was more disappointed when we drew against Luton, Man U and Arsenal, because I felt like those were games we had to win. Beating Arsenal away or getting a point feels like a bonus. The real work should have been done at home, but we did it in the cup instead.
When we lose, I usually turn off the TV avoid the papers and the internet in general and focus on something else but for some reason I find myself watching the post match discussions and Klopp's post match press conference.
The race isn't over, it's still in our own hands.

Agreed, we always learn from these things. And we have things to learn. And honestly, I don't want to win this league without beating Man City. And now we have to.
Its also a reminder to stay away from this place when we lose a game. People react badly to a loss and its not very constructive.
Better to stay away and come back for the next game.
Hard to win at Arsenal with the team we had to play. Add Nunez, Salah, Sob and Bradley to negate their attack and we would have won.
Spot on, Arsenal had more energy than we did.
I’m just watching MotD and it seems that Allison kicked Virgil’s thigh when trying to clear the ball…after VVD had been barged in the back by Martinelli who is not making any attempt to play the ball in doing so…
I thought at the time it should have been var checked (and not sure if it was or not) but, regardless, I’m don’t understand why no one seems to be debating if it was a foul. The goal changed the whole complexion of the game.
It doesn’t ultimately matter, they weren’t as good as the media take but deserved the win against an abject Liverpool performance…but I’m not sure the decision would have overturned if the ref had given a foul against Martinelli.
