We've Lost, No Complain

12 Nov 2006 Arsenal 3-0 Liverpool - EPL

BBC - Mathieu Flamini put Arsenal ahead from close range five minutes before the end of an evenly contested first half. But Arsenal moved into top gear after the interval, Kolo Toure racing on to Robin van Persie's clever pass to slide home a cool finish after 56 minutes. William Gallas was then left completely unmarked to head in Van Persie's corner to seal the win with 10 minutes left.

Carra: "It's another disappointing result, but we've got to try and look ahead now. You never want to look beyond the next game, but we've got to remember what we did this time last season and put together a long unbeaten run now. A lot of the toughest away fixtures have gone and we know we've got to make sure we improve on our away performances.
"We'll never throw in the towel at Liverpool, but the first thing we've got to do is to get ourselves into the top four. We had big ambitions at the start of the season, which is only right at a club like Liverpool, but we also know it's important to make sure we're in the top four as soon as possible, and then we can start thinking about what's above us.
"There's still a long way to go, and Arsenal, Manchester United and Chelsea will all have to come to Anfield during the second half of the season. We did well to win five games on the run after losing to United, and now we've got to put a longer winning run together."

Speechless, gutted, and inconsolable. We all knew how important that three points was. The first away win this season against a great side, and most importantly, going back to the top of the table. I was worried because we needed the win so badly that if we fell, it would hurt like hell. Unfortunately it just happened. Couldn't be worst. Well beaten, no spirits, and that yellow away shirt. Yes, that yellow away shirt. Never like it. A reminder of poor away preformances the season before. Even worst, seeing Gerrard and Riise arguing on the pitch after Gallas scored. What the hell was going on, I thought. That just showed how frustrated the players were. I've never seen Liverpool players do that since I started watching them.

And all those about Gerrard's future and position debate started again. The English press just never get tired of that. It seems that Liverpool is all about Steven Gerrard, and playing him in the centre can solve all the problems, if not, he's leaving the club. Come on let's be honest, we're just not preforming at the moment. And stop putting those headlines singling out Gerrard's frustration. That's extra pressure on him! Where were all those speculations when he was doing well on the right last season??
