Those who sat down to watch today’s early kick off will not have been disappointed. Unless they were affiliated to Arsenal that is. The Gunners travelled to Merseyside to take on fourth place Liverpool looking to stretch their lead at the top of the Premier League table, but things didn’t go to plan for the capital side.
Liverpool’s home form has been notoriously strong this season and they stunned the Londoners with two goals inside the opening 10 minutes from Martin Skrtel, and another from Raheem Sterling in the 16th minute.
Arsene Wenger was understandably livid, but it only got worse as Daniel Sturridge made it four on the 20 minute mark, and Sterling got his second of the game shortly after the break, making it 5-0.
It wasn’t something that was expected despite the strength of the Reds’ side, and the travelling fans were not scared to voice their frustrations. It was a sluggish performance by all accounts and there were plenty of reasons for the loss, and although they did pull a goal back through Mikel Arteta, the 5-1 thumping has left a sour taste in the mouths on Gooners across the country.
Liverpool were wonderful to watch but Arsenal were woeful. Here are three players who I would drop if I was Wenger, on the back of this display.
