Liverpool 1-1 Arsenal Player ratings and match reaction

[Letters]

I think we are a very good team but as ever don’t have enough up front. If just one of Saka, Martinelli or Jesus activated beast mode I think we would win the league. They won’t score enough to get us over the line and in Martinelli’s case I think he has arguably gone backwards from last season.

Every title winning team has a player who goes above and beyond and I don’t see who will do that for us this season. We need a Haaland or Salah transformation from someone.

On the plus side, Saliba, Gabriel and Rice are exceptional so that will be enough to keep us there or there abouts as we are not easy to beat.

I reckon I was watching two sides who will be there or thereabouts come May.
I don’t think Villa have the legs for the long haul and Spurs are…Spurs.
So that leaves Liverpool and us and we would be stupid to discount City.
I think it will be a good race this year. I worry about the lack of firepower but I reckon we will be close this year. We’ve got the experience of last year and a stronger squad. I don’t think we will run out of steam so quickly.

Yeah I’m not worried this time about bottling it or how the team deals with adversity, I think we are made of very strong stuff now. I just think there’s a missing piece of the puzzle up front and that wastefulness might cost us in the end.

It does feel like you could win the league with less than 90 points this year, so that helps too.

As previously said, I believe you cannot dismiss anyone currently in the top five, including Spuds and Villa. Both clubs have decent players coming back from injury and suspension. It's going to be a close one this year.
