I'll tell you what definitely is a disease. . . hatred.As I've said plenty of times before, he's a disease.
I'm not sure you can say that until the end of the season. Personally I am not sure that Van Dijk will be the answer to their defensive issues on his own - just look at our woes. The real measure of each team is the final league table and Liverpool are just as unpredictable at the back as we are.The reality is that Liverpool is a better side than us at present. The table doesn't lie either.
I think VanKijk adds a lot to their defence as long as he settles quickly. we don't really have anyone like him now.I'm not sure you can say that until the end of the season.

What I meant is that it is a team mentality and with a keeper like they have, it must be nervous watching.I think VanKijk adds a lot to their defence as long as he settles quickly. we don't really have anyone like him now.
Point taken. They definitely need a new keeper,can't believe they haven't addressed that long before now.What I meant is that it is a team mentality and with a keeper like they have, it must be nervous watching.
Trust me bro, Liverpool are a better side than us at present. Take a look at the games between us for the last 2 seasons and then honestly ask yourself which team is better.I'm not sure you can say that until the end of the season.

Are we nervous watching Arsenal defend?What I meant is that it is a team mentality and with a keeper like they have, it must be nervous watching.

It amuses me now, because I've been guilty of it in the past, how many of us on here laughed at Liverpool and Klopp , yet his team has embarrassed us on the football pitch several times since he's come here. Sure they have problems but they finished above us last season, demolishing us twice in the process and are on course to do the same this season. Should they finish above us again it would be the first time in Arséne's Arsenal career that this would have happened.
Quick question.
Which player in their squad has won the most trophies?
There is a simple argument there that I won't get into. I still contend that Liverpool are a better team than us at the present and the table will prove that come end of season again. That's my hunch. If you believe that Arsenal are a better side, fair enough but I've seen little evidence of that to date.
There isn't much room for logic as good as that on this thread.Of course its not as simple as that, I agree with you.
The point Im trying to make here is that perception is not always reality. You are right when you say that Liverpool have embarrassed us on the field of play, one too many times. However for us to sit here and think that we are worse off than they are is just wrong.
Sp**s, not too long ago, were the world cup winners in waiting. Today, you hardly hear about them, any shift of power, etc.
What happens off the field with transfers doesnt always translate to success. Its a combination of money, good management, good facilities and being in the right competitions. Liverpool have improved and are moving in a good direction, but no need for panic just yet I reckon... they havent passed us.
There's no panic but I believe they have passed us at this point in time. Now, everything is cyclical and that trend may change soon but under the present regimes of both clubs I'd bank on Liverpool finishing above us for a while.Of course its not as simple as that, I agree with you.

For all your admiration of Liverpool, their slight advantage on us has meant nothing in terms of success. One League Cup in the last decade is hardly worth worrying about. Nobody will recall our 2nd place to Leicester a couple of years back, or their victories in the league over us.Trust me bro, Liverpool are a better side than us at present.

I agree and I would contend that if a team smashes the bejesus out of you on a regular basis over the last two seasons whilst also maintaining a higher league position, then logic would assert that that team is better than you. However, that logic might not fit your argument.There isn't much room for logic as good as that on this thread.
