we have a great chance against arsenal, to have a midfield of kewell, garcia, alonso, gerrard, cisse and baros up front we have a chance for the title i honestly believe that, so exciting to be a liverpool fan again.

Im also all of the above but the ****** are out of everyones orbit at the moment and I fear they may just well repeat last season. We have got to be realistic although Im confident Rafa will get us there sooner rather than later.

Our aim should not be focusing just on beating Arsenal, United and Chelsea....our aim should be to ensure we do not drop points to the other teams in the league.  During the last regime to often we used to lose or draw with teams below us in the league.

Q. Can we play football as attractive?
A. I dunno, cos they play some gorgeous footie, maybe we'll see in a few months when Beni has us playing his way.

Q. Can we beat Arsenal?
A. Yeah I think we can beat them as long as we play well for 90 minutes and not one half.

Gorgeous football?

Go support spurs or West Ham. Winning football is far more important.

As Rafa keeps saying, "its about doing the right things".

[stapo1000]

we need to start playin like they do: as a team if we want to beat them. thats another thing i hope to see rafa adding to our team. you can see the team spirit in arsenal when they celebrate etc...

[Stan Laurel]

Why not? We can beat them, of course we can.

We can beat Arsenal, there`s no doubt in my mind. And, imo, the game today shows that. I can`t see a reason why we can`t score 3 at Highbury when `Boro can. I`m also quite confident that we wouldn`t let Gooners put 5 behind neither Dudek nor Kirkland.

[A.B.]

Of course we can. We are different then Baro. Baro were fools to settle with 3-1 against Arsenal, I guess they didn't see the Arsenal vs. Liverpool game where Liverpool was leading 2-1 and ended up losing 4-2. Why did we lose? We settled for 2-1 and of course our squad wasn't good then as it is now.

Arsenal are a club that will fight until the ref blows the whistle and ends the match. We should be the same. Arsenal are not unbeatable,invincible,unstoppable, every squad has a flaw.

This just gets me more exicited about the upcomming LFC games. We can't afford to draw or lose. Every game should be a must win.

Very good point. A couple of seasons back we were beating Arsenal, Chelsea, Newcastle and the Mancs but losing or dropping pts againt lower positioned teams...

On the can we beat the Gunners, well of course we can. Last seasons first half performance at Anfield proved we can outplay them and we ought tochave gone in 2 or 3 goals to teh good but we conceded a sloppy goal at the end of the first half and fell away second half before succumbing to a wonderful Pires strike .....

[A.B.]

I think we have learned our lesson about Arsenal, you can not settle for a score when playing against them. With our current squad we have a good chance of winning, our midfield is better and their defence isn't all that good.

[Dalglish]

As a unit Arsenal are superior to LFC at the moment , no use arguing any different.

The Table doesn't lie but this season should be an interesting one and we will truly see how far we have come when we face the strongest team in English football.

Peter Reid was on the box tonight and he was the last manager to defeat Arseanl in the Prem whilst at Leeds. He talked of having the players to do it and we certainly have that but interestingly packing the midfield with 5 and playing a lone striker up front. He also ended the discussion by saying you have to have the luck as well............

watching the 2 games and the NA preseason games -- we already look as good as a good day last year-- mind you this is the beginning of change not the end and the boys that know his style are not playing yet -- arsenal isn't until late nov therefore we have lots of time to gel

arsenal can be beaten remember iraq beat portugal-- they are very good but you know -- look at the midfield pretty good -- strikers pretty good-- backlline good -- goaltending -- better than arsenal's and this is just the beginning of the change -- he's got biscan playing well and risse looks like before

new players new coach life is goooood
