Macca scored a great goal but didn't do very much else. I wish he made a
few more runs at the defence. But the level of play was indicative of
Liverpool's confidence (which is low at the moment). They were playing a
team which isn't doing very well either.

The acid test comes this weekend. If Liverpool comes away with a win or
draw against a rampant MU side, they would have salvaged their pride.

Friedel won't be coming to Anfield and Evans will have to look elsewhere
to buy a good keeper. James played well at Highbury but he IS
inconsistent.

The defence needs reorganization. The individual players are good and most
of the defenders will get a first team slot at other premiership teams.
While some do not like him, I am looking to Mark Wright returning ot the
side.

Regards
Bill

Your talking out of your arse :-) The keeper can only do so much, but
at the weekend James was faultless, only on one occasion did he look
even barely dodgy and that was when he was fouled anyway.  The Liverpool
defence played really well and limited Arsenal to *** all.
