Dave Davis returns with another edition of Newsround, reacting to Liverpool's frustrating 1-0 defeat against Arsenal at Anfield and examining the growing concerns surrounding Andoni Iraola's attack.
Despite dominating possession and enjoying extended periods of pressure, Liverpool struggled to turn promising attacking positions into clear-cut chances. With just 11 goals in nine Premier League matches, Dave questions whether the Reds have enough quality in the final third to compete with the league's best teams.
Attention turns to Trey Nyoni, who delivered another outstanding midfield performance, completing 96% of his passes and demonstrating remarkable composure against Arsenal. But did Liverpool lose control when Iraola substituted the youngster?
Dave also assesses Dominik Szoboszlai's difficult introduction, the performances of Bradley Barcola and Cody Gakpo, and the ongoing concerns surrounding Milos Kerkez.
With Arsenal now nine points ahead, Liverpool face an uncomfortable reality. Is the Premier League title already beyond reach, and should securing Champions League qualification now be the priority?
All this and more on Newsround with Dave Davis.
