Liverpool-Arsenal: Konaté and Saliba unsinkable, the Reds attack still ineffective... The tops and the flops

TOPS

Even if the two French people do not play in the same team, in defense they were once again impeccable. Present from the start of the match, Ibrahima Konaté immediately set the tone for his teammates. Many daring tackles in midfield that could have cost his team dearly, but each tackle was precise and prevented counter-attacks. On the other side, William Saliba performed at least on the same level as his compatriot by preventing several opportunities from the Reds. It is partly thanks to him that the Gunners keep the lead in the championship at the end of this 18th day.

Declan Rice confirms again and again that he is one of the best midfielders in the English championship. Solid in duels, calm when restarting, the former West Ham player plays fair and helps his team get out of dangerous situations. He is also always there to defend as on this withdrawal against 5 Liverpool players, where he plays the move perfectly to force this strike from Alexander Arnold.

Central piece of the Liverpool attack, the Egyptian brought animation to a very sad attack at his side. Hard-hitting, often stuck to his line to cross, he was sharp and provoked Zinchenko who had difficulty keeping up with the pace. As evidenced by the Liverpool goal, where Salah did his special by cutting inside on his left foot to curl the ball at the near post.

FLOPS

To accompany the Egyptian, Cody Gakpo and Luis Diaz started but did not contribute much. Luiz Diaz managed to cause fouls but in the game, it was more complicated for the Colombian. Gakpo, more in a pivotal role, was not served enough in the heart of the game to really weigh in this meeting. The entry of Darwin Nunez changed nothing, and the Reds can blame themselves given the numerous missed opportunities, like this 5 against 2, which ended with a strike from Alexander-Arnold on the bar.

The two Arsenal wingers were sharp in the first half with numerous strikes which undermined the Reds' defense. The Brazilian and the Englishman had their legs full of fire and this showed during their numerous calls. But when we returned from the locker room, it was as if the fire had gone out. Also less found by their teammates, the two wingers clearly did not weigh as much as in the first act. The Gunners still maintain the lead in the championship.
