"You cannot dominate here [Anfield] for 95 minutes, it's impossible. You're going to go through those moments. We navigated without conceding anything but at the end you need to find a way to win the big matches. A lot of times individual moments decide it and unfortunately that was an unbelievable free-kick."
"You have to put the ball in the back of the net. We were much better than last year when we drew the game. Today we have 3, 4, 5 situations inside the box 1v1. You have to put the ball in the net if you want to win."
"We lost Martin [Odegaard], we lost Kai [Havertz] then we lost Bukayo [Saka] the week before. In the warm up you lose [William] Saliba. It impacts you but I'm really proud of the players and how they reacted. The margin was almost zero."
Arsenal lost 1-0 at Anfield to Liverpool after Dominik Szoboszlai scored a 30-yard free-kick that dipped and swerved past David Raya. The defeat ended Arsenal's perfect defensive start to the season and was decided by a single individual moment in a cagey game with few clear chances. Arsenal had several one-on-one situations inside the box but failed to convert them. Recent injuries to Martin Ødegaard, Kai Havertz, Bukayo Saka and William Saliba reduced squad options and impacted preparation. The team showed a strong response despite personnel losses. Arsenal's next match is Nottingham Forest at the Emirates on 13 September.
