How bloody great is Jota? Suits Liverpool's system perfectly.

I was wrapped when we signed him, but never did I think he would be this good.

That was a statement win. Massive for us, now to get some players back and go again!

Was waiting for this. Difference between saying "firmino won't score" and saying he has had a bad season.You're not very good at this
Though this is more warranted than Brades putting his foot in it.
When he went down holding his knee I feared the worst for the season.
Arsenal were pretty poor. Should have won it but our finishing was average. With Everton and Chelsea next, 3 points would have been handy.

All started with a great header from Jonny Evans.

Dominant from start to finish against the team that was top going in to the weekend.
That's the kind of performance I was expecting us to put in. Few people questioning us and our over exaggerated injury crisis, other teams getting talked up, but we showed why we're still the team to beat this season.

It's a great system, reckoned the lino would've given that if there was no goal line technology. Only 1 error has ever been made with it (Villa game late last season) and that was due to a freak occurrence.

Most of those are the Liverpool supporters on here. It will be closer this season but Liverpool are still the team to beat.

I never got the panic of the whole Liverpool crisis through injuries covid etc, when you have a great manager e.g klopp, fergie they get the best out of the players on the pitch whether they're a scrub or a star and it just goes to show.

Jesus, I did.
I was desperate for Spurs to make an approach.
He's class. Firmino will be a nice bench option for you too once that front three of Mane, Salah and Jota is established.

All of a sudden it makes cashing in on selling one of the front three an enticing proposition
Certainly understand the panic, losing both first choice CB's (one a beast, the other not) for the season, TAA, Thiago, Allison for a stint, Matip, Henderson, Salah (Keita and Shaq on the list too now) is going to make it real tough, in a side that's been questioned several times over the last 18 months about it's depth.
I still think it will catch up with us, but as I said in the LFC group at the time either we throw our skirts over our heads and give the season away or just get on with it and back our manager, kids, culture and remaining quality players to put up a fight. Good start so far, long way to go though.

Over-exaggerated or not, it's still annoying that we've got up to 11 players unavailable and every day is met with a new injury concern.
While only 2 (VVD/Gomez) are long term, and 1 is medium term (Keita), we still need Salah, Arnold, Thiago, Henderson, Ox, Shaqiri, Rhys Williams and Nat Phillips back soon to lessen the load on the guys that are fit and playing every 3 days.
Why ?

Because for the last 12-18 months the thought of losing one of Salah, Mane or Firminio sounded like a disaster as they all seemed irreplaceable
Now if one of their heads were to be turned by one of the Spanish teams Jota simply steps into that players starting role and the massive transfer fee goes back into the squad

Diego Jota has more goals at home this season than Man Utd do.

Really need to petition the FA to let Pepe only get 1 game ban. Want him in for the derby.
What was he thinking going full Zidane.

What did they pay for that useless grub again? Something north of 70m quid wasn’t it?

I've been pretty critical of Pepe in his time in the PL but played probably his best game for Arsenal this morning.

When I first saw the line up I thought the midfield looked a bit weak. But they were all superb. It helps when Mane drops deep to pick up the ball, and Robertson gets forward. Jota was good for Wolves but he's taken his game to another level.
Had to feel for Bellerin, Pepe wouldn't chase back at all and it was constantly 2v1. Arsenal actually improved after he was sent off.
