This podcast is part of the Sports Social Podcast Network.

It is the Anfield Rap, the Anfield Rap in the gap, the gap between the first two games,

between the start of Christmas really, which is the 23rd against Arsenal and then the second

game right the way through which is the game against Swansea City.

I am Neil Atkinson later on in the show I will be joined by Gito Kuellen.

Gito will be in to have a little chat to us about what Swansea are up to so we can look ahead to that game in a bit of a preview format here

But before then we have to look back at Arsenal 3 Liverpool 3 Steve Graves-Stuwright and John Gibbons all with me and it seems a bit simplistic to say it, John,

but if it wasn't for five minutes it would probably be a very, very good game to look back on.

As it is, it's a painful outcome really, it's a hell of a way to to score three goals

not get beat at rivals ground and still feel pretty downbeat about the outcome.

Yeah it's frustrating I mean I was going

into a confidence that I think a lot of level fans where I've heard a few people say

oh well you took a point before the game but but I don't think we could have really

not because because of how things have gone recently and

because of you know all this talk of how we've rotated so refreshing and

everyone else going into Christmas and people are kind of excited to see that and also the fact that

the Arsenal are suited to how we play you know certain teams make it difficult for us and

certain teams like Bormuth last week you know are sort of better than Bormuth, but still teams are set up to the way we play.

I know most Arsenal fans were really worried about this game and then the game starts and

we just look head and shoulders above them and it's even better than you kind of thought it would be if you

like you think well yeah this is perfectly settle for us so somehow to drop points from that position

when the two nil up is just really frustrating as you say it's only five or so minutes
