What I like:
- Liverpool has organized their defense very well under Hodgson. Carragher, Skrtel and Agger have shown they can be a reliable defensive trio as Arsenal failed to create many good chances despite winning the possession.
- N'Gog continues to improve as he scored a sensational goal after scoring three important goals in Europa League qualifier during last 2 weeks. He should now be top back-up for Torres ahead of Kuyt and Babel until we get a higher quality striker. N'Gog almost scored a header but was unlucky to be cleared off by Gunners' defender.
- Mascherano still plays hard and keeps great form even if he expressed his desire to leave England for Inter or Barcelona. Until LFC receive geniue offers from those big clubs, here's hoping Mash can keep fighting hard for the team.
- Gerrard may not play many supporting striker/attacking midfield role this season as Joe Cole will take the supporting role for Torres. Gerrard will play in deeper role in midfield as the midfield general, a role that Alonso used to serve two season ago. I like what I see so far.
What I don't like:
- Joe Cole should have got a yellow card as his tackle is not intention. Yet, it's an unnecessary silly tackle. Certainly, this is a debut game to forget for the sorry Joe Cole as he will now serve 3 game suspension beginning from next game vs Manchester City! In fact, Gerrard also made some stupid tackle and was lucky to escape a yellow card in the 1st half. Here is hoping both Gerrard and Cole avoid silly tackles in future games.
- LFC still doesn't have natural winger. Kuyt and Jovanovic have done well, but both are scoring midfield operating in the wing and neither is natural winger who can attack through the flank and use the width effectively. I would prefer to see Maxi start on right and only either Kuyt or Jovanovic start in games together.
- Torres is back but it may take considerable time for him to get back to his best form. LFC must sign a quality scorer to upgrade the fire-power up-front.
- LFC is extremely unlucky. When will "bad luck" disappear from our team? How can Joe Cole and Reina both been so unlucky in the game.

- Agger already hurt? I hope Mash is okay too. Where the hell is Aqualini?
Best moment:
N'Gog great goal in 2nd half to help 10-men Reds take the 1-0 lead.
Worst moment:

Worst moment:
Joe Cole's red card or Reina's blunder... you take your pick.
Man of the Match:
Mascherano: if he will leave LFC soon, he is making sure he will leave on a high. Mascherano provided perfect display in defensive role in this game and even made an important assist for N'Gog goal.
