Arsenal draws 6-goal thriller at Liverpool, Leicester wins

“I don’t know Louis too well but we have had a few intensive games”. That’s possible. You don’t need to think too much about motivation in these games, but you need the balance.

“It’s always important that if you don’t win, you don’t lose”.

“We are different characters”.

“What happened tonight strengthened my belief we can have a big part to play in this league”.

With Liverpool’s passing becoming ragged, Arsenal grew in confidence and playmaker Mesut Ozil came more into the game in the second half to spark risky counter-attacks.

However, their squad depth is relatively weak in comparison to other clubs, such as title rivals Manchester City, with many players out of favour at the Emirates.

Klopp, who has consistently backed Mignolet, added: “On the second goal, on a ideal day he can make a save but there were a lot of mistakes before”.

Toure is hoping the weekend’s match is not so frenetic but admits they have to tighten up at the back.

“It was a great football game, how it should be”, Kopp said.

The Gunners needed some heroic defending from veteran centreback Per Mertesacker, left back Nacho Monreal and Cech to avoid conceding further goals before the break as Milner, Alberto Moreno and Firmino went close. Manchester City’s goalless draw at home to Everton means they remain three points adrift in third spot, while West Ham’s victory at Bournemouth moves the Hammers above Manchester United into fifth spot. But in the final minute, three Liverpool substitutes helped produce a merited point for Juergen Klopp’s team.

“You can celebrate big wins together, go through defeats together and that is what football is”. Ironic as it may be for the fans from the Emirates they started up the chant of ‘Where’s your famous atmosphere.’ As the last syllable was sung – Firmino smashed in a 20 yard drive and Arsenal fans found the answer to their question.

“Elneny has joined us and we will see if he can qualify for Sunday”. “If you’re going to give them, fair enough, but you need to be giving them on a regular basis”. Had we been offered a draw prior to kick-off we’d have taken it without hesitation, so we were naturally stunned when Roberto Firmino put us 1-0 up after just 10 minutes.

Klopp jumped to the defence of goalkeeper Simon Mignolet after the Belgium international’s scrappy performance allowed Arsenal to twice come back from a goal down.

United have been on a poor run of form of late, wining only one of their last eight league matches, but Klopp remains wary of Van Gaal’s side, despite the Dutchman coming under increased pressure at Old Trafford.

“He scored flawless goals”.

“We could have done better, we could have done worse, some ideal moments, some average moments”.
