Geez, i nip out to the shop expecting we've lost and i see 2-3 when i get back.

How is our squad a shambles? We have the best midfield we've had in years, granted we're light up front but to say our squad is a shambles is ridiculous. If you thought things would improve over night then I'm sorry but you're wrong, it will take a long time for the team to adjust to Rodgers' passing style, maybe even a full season. He's a manager, not a miracle worker. I have faith in him, I think that he'll bring the CL nights back to Anfield in a few years.

We weren't that bad today btw. Arsenal played a very shrewd game; defend deep and catch us on the counter attack. We had chances, we should of had a penalty, we were sloppy in the final third but we weren't that bad.

Keep the faith.

Your view on Joe Allen is hideous. He controls the tempo of games, superb on the ball and his passing is quite something. He really is a brilliant player.

I bet you don't rate Xavi because all he does is "move the ball on".

And how much use was that today when the midfield was well and truly bossed by Abou Diaby, Santi Cazorla and Mikel Arteta and the Arsenal team passed triangles around Liverpool all day? Gerrard has nothing left and Allen and Sahin were anonymous.

You need balance in a team and Liverpool don't have it. Who wins the ball for Liverpool in this team? With a midfield of Allen, Sahin and Gerrard, exactly who breaks play up and ensures you have the ball in order to control the tempo of games and be superb on the ball and display your passing skills? The ease with which Arsenal flooded through your midfield whenever Gerrard needlessly gave the ball away must be a concern?

Have to agree that while Gerrard has been a fine player, his time is looking up at the top level - Watching today, I had to wonder how long Rodgers will put up with him giving the ball away, while attempting his trademark 'Hollywood' pass, considering that the new manager is trying to instill a culture of keepball at Anfield?

He'll no doubt have flashes of the old Stevie G this season, but I think one of Rodgers major jobs will be to find a new midfield general to take his place as soon as possible.

Are you really this dim? Lucas is our ball winner, he's just been injured and he'll be out for three months. Allen will have to do the role now but it isn't the same. Without Lucas we lack balance, but stuff like that happens in football.

As for today. We never really asked much of Arsenal for long parts of the game, but we were relatively comfortable throughout. Their first was a fine counter-attack, a direct result of Gerrard cocking up. We had more possession than them today, we just lacked composure and quality in the final third. For me, our defence and midfield (with Lucas) is pretty much spot on, the problems occur out wide and up front, where we are thin and lacking variety and depth. Suarez was poor again today, trying too hard but coming up with very little. Gerrard was just wasteful and appears to be trying to play his way, not the team's way. Allen was good again, whilst Sahin was fairly quiet and underutilised. Sahin is a class player who should add a bit of everything to our team, but he will take time to gain influence in the team. Watching him today was a little like watching Aquilani when here, lots of quality and clearly gifted, but not given the ball enough and often making aimless runs that nobody wants to use.

Arsenal did not boss our midfield today. Gerrard was pretty poor today granted. Allen was good and Sahin did okay. Allen wasn't anonymous, neither was Sahin.

Like I said we were beaten today by a team who took their chances. We weren't as bad as you are making out, we had more possession, but we didn't do enough with it.

Gerrard and Reina both looked a shadow of there former selves today, i hope they can get back to somewhere near their best pretty quickly.

Anyway, since you have been very vocal on Liverpool's shortcomings this weekend, and throughout the season so far, you seem to have stayed pretty quiet regarding your own team's shortcomings on Saturday.

Why is that?

Everton had a bad day at the office, Liverpool are PERMANENTLY garbage. That fact is more fun to discuss

And yes feel free to use that statement as a Sig when you inevitably beat us twice this season

Can't understand what's happened with Reina, nothing adds up other than poor form and confidence, but even then, he's a goalkeeper so it shouldn't be too hard to pick up your confidence or form. He had a poor season last year and he's continued in the same vein. Gerrard clearly is a natural decline through age and probably still paying for the Euros. We should be using him less and less now, or looking to play him into a different role. I'd consider moving him up front, Totti-style, if he continues his sloppy play as a midfielder.

He's going stale at a club who are sinking beneath him.

Agree about Gerrard, i would put him on the right of the front 3, this would allow Borini to come on from the bench to replace one of the 3 in the 2nd half.

This would also give us a more stable 3 in the middle with Lucas (When playing again) Allen and probably Sahin.

Should give us a more attacking bench as well with the likes of Borini, Downing and Assaidi ready to come on.

I'd say Everton losing away to a fellow mid-table side in good form is probably the expected thing and not really worthy of much discussion.
