Are Liverpool too meek?

Rick Edwards is joined by Luke Kempner, John Gibbons of The Anfield Wrap, and The Athletic’s Laurie Whitwell to discuss Arsenal’s 1-0 win at Anfield. Should Alexander Isak have shown more ‘passion’ to go down for a penalty when his shirt was tugged by Jurrien Timber? And on a weekend where Man City drop points again, did this show why gnarly Arsenal remain the clear favourites?

Laurie explains what’s next for Lisandro Martinez – and Michael Carrick – after another deeply disappointing weekend for Man Utd. We also hear from Lloyd in Argentina, striding confidently into the Superclásico with Rob Beckett. We hope he’s okay.
