I'm an Arsenal fan but I must say the Liverpool players did not give up and did themselves proud.Oh well, 2nd defeat for us, it's back to the drawing board.We cannot lose anymore.

it is me bad to earlier predict a score for Liverpool to be beated by 2 goal margin. When most of us believe we could win...we failed...but when we are a bit down..then the team sparkled the fire.
Points to note :
1) Rafa changes
a) Finnan and Riise - Both are used to play and bought to play as defender. But are being played as midfielder so far this season. back to their comfort role...they performed much better than Josemi+Traore. They both keep Ljunberg+Pires quiet, quick, and assist to attack and did numbers of crossing. THey are playing like a wing back.
2) Gerrard - he is the missing element in the last 10 games. He's back..he is everywhere. Playing along with such a captain..others are motivated to fight for a victory. I dun believe he is handled a free role from Rafa (this is not Rafa style) but his desire and hungry for success had pushed him to go forward to fight for every ball. In comparison , Although Viera had scored a goal..but his unsporting behavior to dive without Hamann touched his hair (he has hair anyway) really make him ugly. Shame on u.
3) Arsenal is beaten by a good team. Even Wenger praised Liverpool after such a performance.. Not like MU beaten Arsenal by cheating, diving for penalty, offside. The good point is...we pick up no yellow cards. This is a class of Liverpool..the Liverpool culture that earn the respect.
4) Arsenal is totally outplayed by Liverpool in the 1st half..Shot on and off target is 0. Could u believe that ?? I wonder whether Liverpool is damn good or the gunners is really off form last night ??
5) Striker - the strikers are being played on the striking depart rather than warming up the bench where the midfielder are to learn how to play as striker.
6) Villa, M'boro lost..and Everton drew...a good result for Liverpool favour.
7) Kewell did not reallt have significant contribution. Besides of the header that Lemon managed to get it. The worst is that he gave away too many possesion. And I could not believe that his contract with Liverpool had made him top 9 best paid player in EPL...his performace so far after joining the Reds, are no way near the top 30 best EPL player. If Diouf is a flop...he is too.
as cheesecake,
Hope the momentum will go on..as Gerrard said " we are aiming higher than 4th seating".

silly me of not finding this thread just now. ;p
Anyway, I still can't get over how Alonso's side-footed goal shot can be so powerful. That is really some control.
And reading from BBC, Wenger said that the Mellor's goal was not good but bcos Arsenal make mistake. Hmm ... give me a shot at 20 yards like that and it swerve past lemmon in that manner .... that cannot be a bad goal ...

it reminds me of Biscan goal agaisnt fulham...hahahaaa....
side footed is less powerful..u are correct..but very accurate.. If uf can practice the side footed way with a stunning power...then u are like henry...and beckham...most of the free kick taken by side footed. We are paid to work on PC and click on mouse, while they are paid to kick the ball...1 week of their hard work is more than u working for the whole year..Imagine your cheque is GBP80k a week !!!
No doubt ALonso is very good footballer.
Mellor goal is not good..But good enough to win Goal of the week, good enough to beat a no-good keeper Lemon, and good enough to win the game against a no-so-good team Arsenal..
His statement, we could understand and Cantonese would call them - fell on the ground but grab a handful of sand.
Mellor's goal had a lot of luck in the build-up of the chance but the way he took it showed an instinctive goal poacher's touch. that was the kind of goals shearer can put in. it was utterly instinctive and he didn't even need to think about it. the swerve of the ball, the placement, the pace was perfectly calculated. forget about mellor being a non-entity in the game for a moment, he was trying hard but doing little and maybe some experience would do him good. he lacks pace, he's strong but not intimidatingly so, and he's not the biggest chap on the pitch but he showed a goal scoring instinct that you cannot teach in a player, only cultivate. but he needs to develop an all-round game; learn to play the ball, to move off the ball (which he did well, in the first goal) and to make space for himself. then he would be really deadly. i have high hopes for him as he could be the finisher we need. with xabi alonso and gerrard spraying the passes, mellor could be the one to put them in. i hope rafa will give him time to develop rather than let him go, he could be the focal point of our attack in the future. baros or cisse (or pongolle) are pacy players and i think they would do well playing off mellor, with kewell and nunez (or garcia) running in from wide.
it was a great win. just to note though, we had not yet shown ourselves to have "turned the corner" ; to quote gerrard houllier everytime we win a match under him. the finishing was still not sharp enough, we're short of width (kewell, wake up!) and the defence can get intimidated and panic when faced with pacy players and quick passing.
i will treasure this win for a long time to come but i would be willing to trade it for a 10 match winning streak over teams like boro, charlton, everton, etc.
i do hope this win will give the lads confidence that they can match anybody and beat them fair and square. no need for fergie mind games or intimidation tactics here.
let's hope we see more improvements and hopefully some consistency.

also, issit just me or we huffed and puffed a lot more during the second half? players seemed to still lack the fitness to maintain a high tempo game for the full 90 minutes and also lack the savvy to be able to dictate the pace of the game.
still, it was a hard-fought match and the spirit they showed was remarkable. fought for every ball, closed down well most of the time and always looking for the goal (under houllier, we may have rolled over and died after the equaliser),
