Not yet a crisis but Rodgers will be worried

Liverpool 0 Arsenal 2

One point from the opening three games may not yet be the stuff of crisis, but goals from Lukas Podolski and Santi Cazorla, the latter aided by some dreadful goalkeeping from Pepe Reina suggest that there is at least a state of high alert around the club.

The situation has not been aided by a bizarre transfer deadline day in which, according to reports, Rodgers fully expected to sign Clint Dempsey as replacement for the out-going Andy Carroll only to see the Liverpool hierarchy fail to complete the signing.
