Arsenal were ripped apart today by Liverpool with a effortless counter-attacking display at Anfield. The pro 'Wenger out' fans will, without a shadow of a doubt, be in full voice tonight after seeing their team hammered by 4 not long after their 1-0 defeat to Stoke.
It was Roberto Firmino that broke the deadlock for the hosts with a clinical header in the 17th minute. Liverpool immediately looked to double their lead with chances coming left and right from Mane and Firmino before they got the second five minutes before halftime. Their goalscorer being Mane who ran on to a Firmino ball and curled it past Cech.
Halftime, Wenger was trying to pull everything and anything out of the bag with a change in tactics for the second half while taking of Ramsey who was having a mare, replacing him with Francis Coquelin. Things did briefly start to look up for the gunners, with Mesut Ozil's shot going needle-pin wide of the goal. The success Arsenal began to experience was short lived when Salah bagged Liverpool's 3rd in the 57th minute.
Their 55 million pound man, who was on the bench, was brought on for Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Giroud replaced Sanchez. The changes were too little too late and before long Daniel Sturridge had made it 4.
Arsenal will be looking to fire back while Liverpool will be looking to furthering their push for the Prem while simultaneously be seeking Champions League glory.

I agree. Enough is enough. FA Cups are not enough if they are not at least challenging for the title.
