With the amount of possession and chances liverpool had last night under previous managers we would have got hammered
we are clearly together as a unit than we were before and arteta is clearly doing work but it doesnt happen overnight
we are going in the right direction

The performance and result was near identical to last season's game under Emery. Arsenal set up the exact same way last season, looking to defend deep and hit us on the counter. The only difference was last season Arsenal didn't get the first goal, although Adrian tried his best to help you with that but thankfully Auba wasted the chance.
The tactics of Liverpool gifting them goals and missing loads of chances? I'm not sure that was ever a sustainable game plan although when Robertson set-up Laca it was fearing the worst.

That's just what he says. Leeds went Toe to Toe with them and they didn't get destroyed.
Us missing chances had nothing to do with Arteta lol. I do think hes moving you forward but that last night was poor.
As above, last seasons performance under Emery was near identical to last nights. It's not a criticism of Arteta, there's just no right way to play against us. You can sit back and try to play on the break but the likelihood is we'll just grind you down and VVD will deal with any long balls or counter attacks you can come up with or you can roll the dice and try to play an open game.
Arteta was very honest in his post game interview, he literally said that we're so hard to play against because we dominate every area of the pitch. He gave the example of the difficulties of trying to play on the front foot and press us - he said you can do all the right things in pressing us and stopping us from playing out from the back but then VVD will ping a 60 yard pass onto Salah's chest and you're in trouble.

We might have had a chance if the Mane incident had been properly punished.

It was a deliberate arm in the face.
It was a deliberate action, although I'm not sure he expected to catch him in the face. It wasn't violent though. He wasn't looking to hit him but to push him away and shield the ball, hence why it was reckless and a booking and not violent conduct and a red card.

Scott Parker is deluded. He’s imagining his team are playing well, when they are completely awful.
