Gakpo again played as a striker I don't know why. He is a left winger normally as you know. While you have Firmino and Nunez for the centre-forward position why would you choose Gakpo instead?

Gakpo could have played in Jota's place and we could have seen one of the duo I mentioned on the front. This way Liverpool could have been more effective about benefiting from their goal chances. They had only a couple of shots on target and none of them ended up with a goal. At least they didn't lose of course. But they should have been able to win this while there was a really bad performing Crystal Palace against them.

There is nothing you will say that will improve the performance of Liverpool. Once a club starts performing poor it will be so difficult for them to get anything right. This is because the coach Will be under pressure and will forget some elementary things.
Even in the training ground he will forget many things and behave like an armature coach. It's normal

Liverpool's problem is that they are very discouraged, they have not had a very good performance and that usually affects them, also the defeat against Real Madrid was a very hard blow, it can even affect the confidence of their players, here psychologists must do something urgent, because the players must have all the motivation to try to remedy the bad performance, although it is not a bad performance as such because Real Madrid is a team that showed all its power when they played, the fact that Liverpool started winning and then they have come back the way they did is something that is difficult to overcome on a mental level.

One thing I have noticed alot this season about this Arsenal team is how the players are more interested in winning than who start a game. Even before Jorginho came, it was obvious from someone like Tomiyasu too. I guess it's because they are charging for the title. But regardless, it's a good thing to have. Another thing I've observed about this squad is the 'goal getting' & 'never say die' mentality & that trumps all. Long may it continue.

Arsenal is always making comeback. The mentality of the squad is very good. A few times arsenal was making an impossible comeback in a difficult situation. I can't even imagine how arsenal was able to comeback against bourney in a few seconds before match end. Arsenal already evolved under arteta. Arteta didn't have good achievements when he was still become a player, especially playing for arsenal. The mentality from arsenal looks very strong although when it was under pressure.
It looks so amazing to see arsenal already developed until now by arteta.

You have to recognize the mentality that the Asenal players have,it is not easy to overcome games where you were losing almost all the time, the last games I have seen of Arsenal have been very good, I honestly like how they are doing, their football is nice, you can't see that they are playing under pressure, on the contrary they are playing as if they were having fun,that's why they say that there is no better job than the one that is enjoyed, and being a fútbol player must be a very good job to have fun and winning big, I think the Arsenal players are very motivated.

Eddie Nketiah provides Arsenal injury update for Sporting amid Gabriel Jesus return hint

Quote

Arsenal centre-forward Eddie Nketiah has taken to social media to update Gunners supporters on his recent ankle injury.

Nketiah missed the matchday squad for Saturday's dramatic 3-2 victory over Bournemouth, with manager Mikel Arteta confirming that the seriousness of the knock remains uncertain ahead of the Premier League clash. "We are assessing him," Arteta said during his pre-match press conference last week when asked about the 23-year-old.

"It's a bit uncertain what will happen with him to be honest in the training sessions." The Spaniard continued: "Lets see, lets keep the options open. Hes very positive about it and hopefully hell be fine."
