He said: "Playing against Arsenal in that vein was tough for anyone to stay with," claims Liverpool's Assistant manager. "There was some fantastic skill on show and you have to applaud that type of football.
But at the same time our players showed they can match anybody. The performance level and skill we showed was of a high standard which made it a fantastic game. We have matched Arsenal.
"We have to make sure our level of performance is of a high standard and that's what we are looking to aim for. We fully justified it against Arsenal and the game down at Highbury was a justified draw. As everyone knows we probably should have won it in the end. We were not the best in the first half, but our second half performance was brilliant."
