Liverpool head coach Andoni Iraola, spoke to BBC Sport after his side's defeat by Arsenal: "We wanted another result definitely today. We are to blame, especially from the beginning of the game. After we conceded the goal probably you had nothing to protect so you play more freely, we played more brave and I think we turned the game in the first half, we finished very well. We tried it in the second half but were unable to score.
"We had good chances - we hit the crossbar and had good situations we were not able to finish. We definitely deserved a goal.
"I loved the reaction from my players after going 1-0 down. We finished the first half very well, kept pushing. I loved a lot of moments of the game.
"We have to keep going. It is very early in the season. Arsenal are in the best of the situations but it is just the start of November today. A lot of games to play."
On not getting any penalty shouts, especially when Alexander Isak had his shirt pulled inside the box: "It got seen. There is a clear grab the shirt. Alex was just in front of him, he was going to head in front of the goal but couldn't because he had the shirt. I don't understand why they didn't call it, probably because he has not gone to the floor.
"I think the [Cody] Gakpo one was not a penalty but the Alex one he was going to head the ball in front of the goalkeeper. He grabbed the shirt. I don't understand why it wasn't called.
"You have to dive, if you don't dive they won't call it."

Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk, spoke to Sky Sports: "Disappointment. We play at home, we had some opportunities. We tried everything. We could have done a bit better in the last 15 minutes to get more balls in the box. It wasn't enough today and that's why disappointment is the feeling I'm having.
"When we conceded we played much better. Alexis could have changed the game."
On if Alexander Isak should have been awarded a penalty: "I think it was a clear penalty. I've seen it back and I've seen it being given. Today it wasn't meant to be.
On if Isak should have reacted more: "We have 50 cameras. Why does he have to complain when there are so many cameras. Everyone has seen it. In the end it wasn't given and we lose the game unfortunately, so well done to Arsenal."
On the team's momentum: "When someone new comes in the building and everything changes, it just needs time. I'm pretty sure things will click and things will work out.
