This is true

Another 5 mins we would have took the game, we took 40 mins to get going but then we were relentless and you struggled so badly with the press

No, you scored a scruffy goal in the first half that was arguably against the run of play.

Better possession
More shots
More shots in target
More passes
More expected goals
More clear cut shots

The most important stats we were ahead so tell us Arsenal deserved to win?

2 games in a row they got lucky against us and the ref clearly picked his side

And again, most of these were in the 2nd half after Arteta, for some strange reason, went ultra defensive after dominating the first half. The times when we played our football we created chances.

Dont mention the ref. Another weak ref influenced by the Anfield crowd. What did he book Saka for? Yet Henderson was chirping away at the ref all game.

Lets face it, Liverpool are a shadows of the team from the last few years. There are clear weaknesses in this team and I cannot understand why our manager didnt go more cut throat after effectively exposing these weaknesses in the first half. You were allowed back into the game. Why, I dunno

From what I can see, Arsenal has the more difficult run-in. I can't see Man City dropping many points in their games.

Agreed. If Arsenal had won today I think we could afford to lose at the Etihad. Now we need at least a point there and Im not sure we're gonna get anything away at City

I don't think there is such a thing as a more difficult run-in. You all play the same teams twice over the season. You can only beat what is in front of you at the time. If you're good enough to be the best team then you will win whomever your opponents are.

i think the fact that arsenal dont have europe midweek will give them a bit of an advantage

No further action will be taken against assistant referee Constantine Hatzidakis following an incident involving Liverpool's Andy Robertson, the Football Association has said.

Hatzidakis had been stood down while an investigation was held after Sunday's match between Liverpool and Arsenal.

He made contact with Robertson's chin after the player approached him at the end of the first half at Anfield.

"I look forward to returning to officiating matches," Hatzidakis said.

"I fully assisted the FA with their investigation and have discussed the matter directly with Andy Robertson during an open and positive conversation," the match official added.

"It was certainly not my intention to make any contact with Andy as I pulled my arm away from him and for that I have apologised."

The FA said it had reached its decision after thoroughly reviewing all of the evidence.

"Our comprehensive process involved reviewing detailed statements from Liverpool and PGMOL, as well as multiple angles of video footage, in relation to both the incident and its surrounding circumstances," an FA statement said.
