Five things we learned from Liverpool vs Arsenal

Liverpool piled more misery on Arsenal. Goals from Sadio Mane, Roberto Firmino, Danny Sturridge and Mohamed Salah ensured the Reds marched past Arsenal in an emphatic manner. The Anfield side are still unbeaten this season whereas Arsenal succumbed to their second successive defeat of the season albeit in a humiliating fashion, a result that has seen them drop to 16th in league table, nevertheless. It was an entertaining game at Anfield, and this is what we learnt.

Coutinho Can Go.

Jurgen Klopp has effectively got his men playing some good football without Coutinho. No player is bigger than the club, they say Liverpool should consider allowing Coutinho his dream money while they reinvest his transfer money into better quality players.

Liverpool's Attacking Trio will hurt teams.

Sadio Mane, Firminho and Mohammed Salah were terrific again and proved too strong for Arsenal's defense who found them difficult to cope with.

Arsenal's Rot Continues.

The manner of which of Arsenal succumbed at Anfield ridiculous just to put it lightly, lacking any sort of fight and cohesion. Arsenal hardly troubled Liverpool whole game and barely managed any shot on target. The worst culprit of Arsenal's humiliating defeat was Danny Welbeck, a surprise starter ahead of Alexandre Lacazette and Oliver Giroud. The Englishman missed a glorious chance to nick the first goal for Arsenal and offered nothing in attack, make it eight goals conceded in three games so far Arsenal fans might be in for a long grueling season as their defense doesn't seem to stop conceding goals, the worse may yet to come unless Arsene Wenger finds quick fixes to the team's issues.

Switch Back To 4-2-3-1

Arsene Wenger needs switch formation as he tries to revive his beleaguered team's fortunes, the 3-4-3 formation currently used by Arsenal, seem not to be working anymore, after scraping an opening-day victory over Leicester Arsenal has been below par in recent games, players themselves no longer look confident in the setup as its evident with their performance, with football going on international break, Arsene Wenger has all the time to decide and switch back to 4-2-3-1.

Jurgen Klopp Needs FSG's Support.

Jurgen Klopp has been calm on Liverpool's transfer dealings this summer, the situation, nevertheless, isn't encouraging, with four competitions to play for this season Liverpool are in need for signings if they are to back the glory at Anfield, Jurgen Klopp is no doubt a good manager, but he will need a good level of support, especially on transfers if he is to achieve any success with Liverpool, with Coutinho expected to leave for a big-money move to Barcelona, FSG will do well and give Jurgen Klopp to buy quality he needs.
