Awful performance from pretty much everyone against Arsenal. Cissokho absolutely atrocious and if we could terminate his loan on the back of that, I would. Outclassed overall though, not a surprise. I'm mostly disappointed that we didn't even make Arsenal get out of second gear.
We are still far away from Arsenal, City, Chelsea, Spurs... Even United. In saying that, if we want to break into the top four, we don't necessarily have to win games like that. Would've been nice like, but I expected nothing less than a loss in that game. Our midfield, and probably our defence, isn't good enough to win those type of games. We need to just keep beating the teams we should beat. Surely there's a case for Agger to get back into that defence now. We've let in 7 in 5 games without him or something, without a clean sheet.
The derby in a couple of weeks is going to be massive. We didn't beat them last year, and they look much better under Martinez this year. They also have Lukaku who slaughtered us last year.
Rodgers struggles against the bigger teams, no doubt.
