Liverpool vs. Arsenal: Best Twitter reactions
Following their capitulation to Crystal Palace at the weekend in which the club captain, Granit Xhaka, swore at the home fans, it’s fair to say that Arsenal are a club in crisis. They had a chance to make amends against Liverpool in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday but, despite leading 3-1, 4-2 and 5-4, The Gunners snatched defeat from the jaws of victory yet again, eventually drawing 5-5 before losing on penalties. We take a look at the best social media reactions.
When Arsenal were 5-4 up it looked as though some of Unai Emery’s former words might be prophetic.

Unfortunately the Spaniard, they couldn’t hold on and the pressure is undeniably piling up now, with the fans seemingly ready to abandon their attacking verve in favour of results.
Unai Emery’s biggest achievement at Arsenal has been managing to make a huge section of the fanbase warm to the idea of José Mourinho replacing him.

With Jose Mourinho seemingly ready for a return to club management, his name was a mentioned a lot.

It was a Shkodran Mustafi own goal that initially put Liverpool ahead and someone thought it was a very selfless act.
Have to applaud Shkodran Mustafi for taking the attention off Granit Xhaka with that own goal. That’s what proper mates do.

Xhaka was given a torrid time by the Arsenal fans at the weekend, yet it was an ex-player who got jeered against Liverpool. But did they know he was an ex-player?

An exiled Gunner proved a point to his manager, putting on a masterful performance in which he had a hand in most of the goals.

But Liverpool have got their own cult hero who seems to score in all the big games.
