Unai Emery must sort out his issues with Mesut Ozil if Arsenal are to perform better in the upcoming matches. Ozil is one of the few Arsenal players capable of holding the ball and creating moves in the final third.

However, he was not a part of the Arsenal squad yesterday, and it was evident that Arsenal lacked ideas upfront. To make matters worse, Alexandre Lacazette, who has been one of the better performers for Arsenal this season, did not start either, and only came into the match after Arsenal had already conceded 5 goals.

Arsenal actually did look better after the introduction of Lacazette, as he troubled the Liverpool defenders to an extent with his quick turns and dribbling. The likes of Alex Iwobi and Aaron Ramsey could not trouble the Liverpool defence at all, and Arsenal did very little to suggest that they had actually progressed as a team under the tutelage of Emery.
