Love it when the ref is the player that manages to gee up an away crowd

It feels like so much of the conversation around Arsenal is coloured by a weird folk memory of the 0-0 at the Etihad. It’s now got to the stage where they can outshoot the champions at Anfield but be decried for their caution because of a Szobszlai screamer.

With a bit of reflection, a terrible display from Arsenal. But we used to go to Old Trafford a bit off the pace and get battered. Now we win. In May people won’t remember how we got these 3 points, just that we have them.

Carragher seems to be doing a lovely job of counting Wirtz good passes but blind to the bad ones so far. Always pointless having him on commentary for Liverpool games.
