Hello everybody, welcome to the Redmen TV and your daily news update show. My name is Dan Club. I'm here for the next half an hour also to speak about the things going on in the world of the Reds. Hope everybody's good, hope everybody is well and had a good weekend. I was gonna say an excellent weekend, but yeah, I'll hold that word for now because it wasn't ultimately Liverpool obviously beaten yesterday at the hands of Arsenal or Anfield. Bittersly disappointing afternoon for many reasons really. I think obviously the result is one thing, I think given the levels of optimism and given sort of the building of those levels of optimism heading into it. I was down at Anfield pre-match bumped into a few people obviously, a few chats with a few different characters around them including Jamie Carragher. There was a sense of what if and a sense of again growing sort of belief in the Liverpool ranks and that hasn't been completely wiped off the face of the earth. Just one loss isn't going to do that, especially given the manner of that defeat. But it is a little bit deflated.

Deflated, not defeated is how I'm going to sort of pitch myself this morning after it. But yeah, disappointing as I say, but hopefully it's good, hope everybody has managed to get their heads around it. If you haven't, there's plenty of content we should do. So we're going to have a little bit of a chat about it. Now, obviously there'll be the final word show over in the Redmen Plus app as well in a little bit, plus the podcast this afternoon. So really, yeah, go over it with a fine tooth comb and hopefully try and digest what we witnessed. And I hear that we got Rob, but I can't blame the rest of the naught shots on target. And Alliann Kirch has bozo moments. Yeah, listen, the goal we can see is stupid, ultimately. And we can't say we haven't been warned. So Alisson Becker can't say he hasn't been warned because it's threatened to have been happening for a few weeks now, that type of thing, where he's just been a little bit lax in his passing out from the back. And this time, obviously, we were punished. Yeah, daft goal to concede. You can't afford to go one-nil down against the side as hard to score against as Arsenal. So you give them a lead, give them something to hang on to. Then guess what? They're going to hang on to it with everything they've got. And they deserve an immense amount of credit for doing that because they did defend absolutely incredibly. Like in terms of the commitment and the willingness to put their bodies on the line, to keep a clean sheet and just to keep the lead. It is something to behold, it genuinely is. It's not necessarily how I'd want Liverpool to play football or yeah, it's not necessarily pleasing on the eye, but in terms of getting over the line and winning games of football and ultimately last season winning the Premier League, you've got to give it its due.

Yeah, I think for me, the zero shot on target thing, I don't think it's true, to be honest. I've watched Lex McAlister take a ridiculous and a highly ambitious half volley from like 40 yards numerous times again this morning. And if that's not a shot on target, I don't know what it is.

It's never going to score, but it's going in. Like if David Ryan doesn't catch it, it's a goal. So I don't know where the zero shot on target thing is stemmed from necessarily, but I don't believe it's to be factual. But it doesn't take away from the fact that we were blunts. And we never, whilst we built up numerous heads of steam, we never really managed to carve out anything in terms of massive chances, in terms of anything clear cut. There was moments where the ball just broke in the box, there was a bit of a scramble and who knows on another day it may well fall to a Liverpool player who manages to fire it home. But yeah, whilst we had tonnes and tonnes of the ball and tonnes and tonnes of waves of what felt like a concerted pressure, the reality of the game was that we never truly managed to test David Ryan or indeed the Arsenal back then. I don't think we really put them under any significant amount of duress in a weird way. Like I say, there are moments where they had to dive in front of stuff and certainly be at it.
