Welcome along Liverpool held to a stalemate by the gunners at Anfield as Mohammed

Sala contract question comes into focus. Red sit and watch on as the transfer clock ticks down with only exits on the horizon.

And Yurgen clock out to avoid a sting as the bees head to Anfield, all of that as well as our team selector and

it wasn't one for the purest was it not going to live long in the

diet wasn't really and soon as Grandiach I got sent and that's a kind of regroup and then you're almost got the

impression that they were pleased with not so much pleased to lose a man but pleased that they were given the opportunity to justify a game

plan, just getting nine men beyond the ball and digging in deep and defending and hold them

what they haven't taken it to the Emirates.

So I think with more than two-thirds of the game to go you thought Liverpool might have been on to the winner and

I agree with clopsier next time when he said that you know he felt the

the play is so on a bit of unnecessary pressure once to send them off.

It was almost like they had to take advantage of it to the extent where they were trying to put

the entire tie beyond the arsenal to make the the second leg almost an irrelevance and that's all fine
