TERRACE TALK: Arsenal - Arsene Wenger doing his best in the market? Really?

The fragile truce that has existed between the Arsenal’s factions lasted all of an hour into the new campaign.

After the sort of dominant first-half display that suggested “Project Klopp” is still a work in progress, it was disappointing enough to be pegged back, following award of a soft free-kick that resulted in Coutinho’s stunning equaliser with almost the last kick of the half.

However, the sun was shining, the footie was back and we still had another 45 minutes to prove that our uninspiring attack was sufficiently more potent than the Scousers, to pocket the all-important three points.
