Arsene Wenger admits Sanchez omission backfired

Can has started to win back the confidence of Liverpool fans after improving his form recently. “We know what we need to work on”.

They’re unbeaten against the top six this term, and their last two Premier League victories have come against Manchester City and Tottenham. They have earned 19 points in those matches.

Second from bottom Hull, who are just three points adrift of Leicester, are a more resilient side under Portuguese handler Marco Silva and could prove a more obdurate foe than Klopp’s players did.

“How do I bring it out in the players?” Arsenal paid a predictably heavy price for Wenger’s stunning gamble, delivering a flat performance in the first half of the 3-1 loss.

It’s unbelievable that a huge club like Arsenal are stuck in this trend for the past ten years where they settle for top four, and don’t strive to be better and take a chance to win the league. Monreal shouldered him, allowing Sanchez to further cut inside to create chances.

Sanchez would have been unimpressed to hear Wenger’s insistence on Saturday night that it was “easier for the strikers” after the break – rather than it being the player’s contribution alone which briefly swung the game back towards Arsenal. Who provided the assist? “The collective response was very strong in the second half”. I bought him and I always played him. In fact, it nearly certainly cost Arsenal a vital three points. Welbeck chipped the keeper to give Arsenal some hope at 2-1.

Klopp is desperate to avoid a similar scenario in 2017-18 and has vowed to bring in new players in order to strengthen his team.

Although there were many times over the past decade when Wenger seemed on the verge of being out in North London, this moment seems more real than the rest. Liverpool with their leaky defence were under pressure immediatly and that meant that Arsenal had lesser attacks to deal with and were much more free going forward. It is unclear whether that contributed to Arsene Wenger’s team selection against Liverpool or if it was just some tactics for the Arsenal manager.

Klopp enjoyed a remarkable 4-3 victory at Emirates Stadium in his first ever Premier League game on the opening day of the system, but admits that his side can no longer ignore their problems as they battle to achieve their goals.

This season, Mane scored the victor against Everton in the Merseyside Derby.

The Gunners took the lead in both games, but ended up losing 2-1 on each occasion.

Sadio was rightly awarded the man of the match in this game after another stellar performance.
