“To be able to bring Luis Suarez and Raul Meireles on at 0-0 against Arsenal tells you that you are only as good as your squad," said the Liverpool boss.

“The first goal might have been a bit fortuitous but the second one was a great period of passing. We understand Arsenal were not at full strength but that’s not my problem.

“The team is important but the most important thing is the squad. We have a stronger squad than last year.

“We still have to get Luis and Raul up to speed because they missed a lot of pre-season, but we are spoilt for choice this year.

“A victory always helps belief doesn’t it, but in terms of anything else, you have to manage it,” said the manager. “If you’re losing, you’ve got to get through it. If you’re winning, you have to keep grounded.

“Everyone will enjoy the moment as it’s a fantastic win but we will keep giving this football club the respect they deserve.

“The football punters at Liverpool are among the most educated out there, we know that. They will come along with us, they won’t carry the weight and neither will we.”
