[Uncle Peter]

Poor first half in general. Liverpool picked up the pace in the second half and it paid dividends. Nobody is going to walk into the Emirates and trample over Arsenal... Wenger is a tactically shrewd operator and to suggest that they have a poor squad even without Fabregas and Song is doing them a disrespect. With 65% of the possession to Liverpool in the first 20 minutes when it was still 11 v 11 does however indicate that Arsenal were off colour today. They were still dangerous on the counter though with Nasri and Frimpong (desipite his indiscipine) inparticular causing problems.

We (Liverpool) still appear to be struggling for match fitness with the exception of perhaps Downing who always looks lively and Jose Enrique who seems to have slotted in nicely in his brief tenure up to now. Still lots of work to do for everyone and nobody should be getting ahead of themselves.
