Although Jürgen Klopp's side were able to compete in large parts of the game against Arsenal, they ended up losing yet another game that pushed them further down the table, with the Merseyside side taking more negatives than positives from this game, as although the three points were crucial in their fight to get into a better position, the apparent injuries to Luis Díaz and Trent Alexander-Arnold are more important for a team that will have a very tight schedule during the month of October.

Colombian Luis Diaz had to come off the bench after that great through ball to Darwin Nunez, with the nature and extent of his injury unknown as the only visible information was when he was seen clutching his lower left leg. If the injury is confirmed, Diaz could miss a couple of very important games for the club, facing Rangers in the Champions League on Wednesday and Manchester City in the Premier League at the weekend.

Liverpool's disgraceful first-half marking against Arsenal

In the first moments of the second half, things were getting more complicated for Jürgen Klopp than necessary, as in addition to the 2-1 deficit, his controversial British defender, Trent Alexander-Arnold, also had to leave the game through injury, making way for his teammate Joe Gomez for practically the entire second half, where they ended up going down 3-2.

If a serious injury to either of these two players is confirmed, the situation for Jürgen Klopp will be complicated again by this issue, because in the Colombian attacker he had found that constant danger that was so lacking in his team, while with Alexander-Arnold, the German tactician was experimenting with some specific orders that made him shine last Tuesday against Rangers but that against Arsenal did not turn out so well when he noticed again those deficiencies when it came to defending.

In addition to the defeat, Liverpool picked up a couple of injuries 

Overall, Liverpool came away from their visit to the Gunners with too much damage, as in addition to Arsenal breaking the illusion of improvement that Klopp's men showed in the Champions League, the Merseyside team returns home with a couple of physically depleted players in a week too complicated for the institution, with the German coach waiting for the medical report to be able to plan his next strategies for their midweek game.
