You can’t afford to have off days like Arsenal did today. Liverpool were clinical when it mattered and that’s the difference at the top level.”
Arsenal’s defenders were caught ball-watching and were punished for it. It’s moments like these that separate the title contenders from the pretenders.
It’s clear that Arsenal still have some work to do if they want to be considered serious title contenders. They need to be more consistent and resilient in games like this, where they are expected to dominate.
As a fan, it’s frustrating to see them let a lead slip away like that. But as Gary Neville said, it’s a big day in the title race and Arsenal have missed an opportunity to close the gap on Liverpool.
They need to learn from this and come back stronger in their next game. That’s what being prepared to do the business is all about.”
