We asked for your views on Arsenal's Premier League match against Liverpool.
Here are some of your comments:
Sam: For the first time in a while, I think we can be happy about getting a draw. The first half was shambolic - Liverpool were bullying us. But in the second half, the decision to move Gabriel Martinelli to the middle from Mikel Arteta proved key and it was a brilliant fightback against the champions. Without Mikel Merino's red card, there might have even been a chance we went on to win it.
Phill: Is this season still going? Really though, after that Paris St-Germain tie where we gave so much, and on top of the rough season we have had with injuries and cards, that first half was very expected against a Liverpool who have been supreme this season. I liked that Mikel changed things up and focused down Liverpool's left-hand side.
Rachel: After a disastrous first half, we managed to salvage something from the game and save face. Arsenal were just heading into anonymity as seems to be usual at this stage of the season. I'm proud of the way the players picked themselves up and dug in. Let's see if we can hang on for second place.
Ali: Seemed a bit flat first half, probably post midweek. But whatever Arteta said at half-time worked. Same issues in terms of directness but he's done a fantastic job this season. We just need a few clinical attackers to partner with Bukayo Saka, and a rejuvenated Martin Odegaard.
Lew: First half was so bad from Arsenal - running around like a bunch of headless chickens. William Saliba hasn't been the same since Gabriel got injured and all the Real Madrid rumours. We are missing players and now we have lost two more with Leandro Trossard pulling up and Merino's red card.
Vince: Trossard seldom disappoints and this game showed once more how valuable and underrated he is. He was everywhere and, perhaps with most of Liverpool's defensive attention trained on Odegaard, Trossard had space to dictate play. He single-handedly pulled us level with his energy and if Merino hadn't been sent off, we could have nicked it towards the end. Pity.
