1. A new striker is still top on the agenda - So with only a few days of the transfer window left, Arsene Wenger and Arsenal have still not addressed the striker situation at the Emirates, and are quickly running out of time. It was evident once more on Monday night that a world class striker is needed, as Olivier Giroud failed to impress once more, being hauled off with 20 minutes left for Theo Walcott. Make no mistake, Giroud is a very good striker, but he is not world class, and until this is addressed Arsenal will not win the title.
2. Ramsey needs to play central - Aaron Ramsey has failed tor recapture his form from the 2013-14 season, and I feel that this is hugely down to the fact that Wenger keeps on putting him on the right wing. It is evident that he is not the quickest player, and he becomes very isolated in games. This then leads to him trying to get involved in games by coming central, like last night, which then led to there being no width at all, until Oxlade Chamberlain came on in the last ten minutes.
3. Sanchez is still not match fit - Though his work levels and passion is still there, I still feel that Alexis Sanchez is still a few weeks off from being 100% match fit. Personally, Wenger has rushed him back too soon. He hit the post, when he should of scored in the second half, if he has that chance in a few weeks time he scores, simple as that.
4. Cech has arrived - The veteran keeper well and truly announced his arrival on Monday night in spectacular fashion. After a disastrous start to his Arsenal career on his first appearance at the Emirates on the opening weekend against West Ham, he well and truly atoned for those errors made. He single handily kept Liverpool at bay throughout the first half, including two astonishing saves, firstly from Christian Benteke and then from Phillipe Coutinho.
5. Gabriel can do a job when needs to - The Brazilian really impressed last night in which was a mixed night for the Arsenal defence. He was quick, strong and showed during the 90 minutes that he can push to get into the team this season.
6. Chambers on the other hand... - It was a complete different story Calum Chambers at the heart of the defence yesterday, who had a bit of a nightmare. I can understand it slightly though, given the circumstances, with Mertesacker and Koscielny both being ruled out. So it meant there was a complete new partnership at the back, and for large parts of the game it was catastrophic. Lets hope this was largely down to nerves, because I still feel that he is developing and can be one for the future.
7. Coquelin once again solid - The Frenchman is getting better and better by the game in my opinion and is really making the central defensive midfield role his own. His hunger, fight and passion is incredible and was notable once again on Monday night, at times holding together that ropey defence.
8. Ozil much more influential in a big game - It was built up on Monday night to be the battle between Ozil and Coutinho. Personally I feel they are two complete different players, both brilliant in their own different ways, and you cant really compare them. Each player dictated each half, it was Coutinho in the first half, he pulled the strings and had Arsenal running ragged. But in the second half, when Arsenal did decide to turn up, everything came through Ozil and his brilliant start to the season continues.
9. The Ox needs to start - It baffled me firstly to why Oxlade Chamberlain did not start in the first place, but then as to why Wenger brought him on with 10 minutes to go. The game was calling out for his drive and pace. For me he is our most direct player in the team, he just wants to run at defences, and the build up of play was too lethargic on Monday. Soon as Chamberlain came on it was a different story. He has to start on Saturday at Newcastle.
10. Start to the season has been average - Arsene Wenger even said after the game that the start to the season that Arsenal have made has been 'average'. They cannot afford to drop any more points, with Manchester City already breaking clear at the top and Chelsea bound to get back to full strength in weeks to come. The performances have been too casual and sloppy so far.
