Petr Cech saves Arsene Wenger’s side
Ramsey beat Reds goalkeeper Simon Mignolet with a low drive on eight minutes, after being set up by a superb Santi Cazorla pass.
The Gunners responded to the home defeat against West Ham in their Premier League opener with a victory a Crystal Palace, but were held by Liverpool.
“Defensive organization will be the platform for us with all our creative flair”, Rodgers said.
Emre Can has stated that Liverpool were unfortunate not to come away from the Emirates Stadium with all three points on Monday. “From the timing. I thought maybe the angle on television would be different, but it was not”.
He added: “We were insecure at the back because we had a new defence but second half we were more stable”. This one on Alexis Sanchez in the 60th minute just defied all logic in how that ball didn’t go in.
“Our performance level is growing all the time”.
Christian Benteke and Philippe Coutinho had chances and after the first half, Arsenal came back with an attack.
“It looked in, yes”, admitted the Reds boss. “We hit the crossbar, we hit the post and their keeper made some great saves”, Skrtel told the Liverpool Echo.
Cech then saved attempts from James Milner and Coutinho, before Mignolet produced another good stop on 83 minutes when he reacted well to save a Ramsey effort which took a deflection off Dejan Lovren on its way through to goal.
Aaron Ramsey has said that the majority of top professionals want football to follow rugby union’s example by using video technology for key offside decisions.
Liverpool remain unbeaten from their opening three games having seen off both Stoke and Bournemouth leading into Monday night’s encounter. “I could prove to you that it’s not necessarily right”, Wenger said when asked about the need for more “powerful” midfielders by reporters. I could see live that he could not be offside.
It was a game of two halves, with the visitors dominating the opening period, only to be denied on several occasions by the brilliance of Arsenal goalkeeper Petr Cech.
“Second half, I think we should have won the game, we were a bit unlucky, we lack still a little bit physically and collectively to finish well what we start“.
