We showed again that even against a team that is top of the table we can compete and we take it with us for the next weeks and we move on.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Read on for more of the No.8&#8217;s reaction&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>On whether the first half was about &#8216;fight&#8217; and &#8216;resilience&#8217;&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>I think it&#8217;s always about fight, to be honest, because in the Premier League you have to fight to get results. I think today each of us&#8230; everybody showed we are able to do it. From now on nobody can say we are not [fighting] in the team. We have to keep on going and work as hard every week as we did today.<\/p>\n<p>On the second-half performance and being in more control&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>I think in the first half we also had a couple of chances and also we managed to keep the ball a couple of times. But, of course, it&#8217;s not easy to play here against such a great team. I think none of the teams like to run against the ball in the Premier League, especially when two teams play with such a big quality. <\/p>\n<p>In the first half we tried to keep the ball as much as we could and in the second half the same. I think in the second half it was a little bit more than the first half. We hardly created any [clear] chances, but I think if I had a better day then I have a couple of better shots.<\/p>\n<p>On his efforts at goal during the second half&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>It looks like I still have to practise [free-kicks] even more! They defended well and we take the one point.<\/p>\n<p>Published 10 hours ago <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u200c Published 10 hours ago By Joe Urquhart Dominik Szoboszlai viewed Liverpool&#8217;s battling 0-0 draw at Arsenal on&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":396874,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[1720,1721,1708,1716,1710,1722,1724,1723,1711,1715,1714,1709,1719,1712,1717,403,99,1713,1718],"class_list":["post-396873","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-soccer","tag-alisson","tag-firmino","tag-homepage","tag-klopp","tag-lfc","tag-lfc-news","tag-lfctv","tag-lfctv-go","tag-liverpool-fc","tag-liverpool-fc-match","tag-liverpool-fc-news","tag-liverpool-football-club","tag-mane","tag-reds","tag-salah","tag-soccer","tag-sports","tag-the-reds","tag-van-dijk"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/396873","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=396873"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/396873\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/396874"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=396873"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=396873"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=396873"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
