Merson: Liverpool underestimated the importance of Alexander-Arnold, and now opponents can double-team Salah at will

Today, Paul Merson talked about the impact of Arnold's departure on Liverpool on the show.

Merson said: "I think Liverpool didn't have an ideal start to the season. They won some games, but looking back: the game against Burnley was won in the last minute, the game against Newcastle was scored at the last moment, and the game against Bournemouth was won by two late goals... Actually, I think Arsenal were very relaxed at Anfield. Even if the away team won at Anfield, "I think Slott thought he could beat the opponent with Isaac and Wirtz, but he didn't consider how much Liverpool would miss Arnold." "Liverpool underestimated the impact of Arnold's departure. Now suddenly, the opponent can double-team Salah."
