Losing Salah and Mane's two fangs, Liverpool became a toothless tiger that could not tear up 10 Arsenal

Liverpool drew 0-0 at home to 10-man Arsenal in the Premier League Cup. Arsenal midfielder Xhaka was sent off in the 24th minute of the game for a foul on Jota. However, Liverpool did not seize this opportunity and won the game.

Such a result of the race has led people to believe that this is related to the absence of Salah and Mane.

Liverpool's two main strikers are competing in the Africa Cup of Nations for their national teams Egypt and Senegal respectively.

After Liverpool drew with Arsenal in the semi-finals of the English League Cup, fans agreed that without Salah and Mane Liverpool, the level would drop by one notch.

Losing salah and Mane's two fangs, Liverpool were toothless tigers at Anfield, doing almost nothing on the offensive end.

In fact, for Arsenal goalkeeper Ramsdale, the game was quite easy. He spent a fairly relaxed evening at Anfield.

Rumsdale made only one real save against Liverpool, and that was in injury time, he saved Curtis Jones' shot.

If Egypt and Senegal perform well in the Africa Cup of Nations, Liverpool risk losing their two ace players for almost a month or so.

Fortunately, Liverpool's schedule in January is not difficult.

In the Premier League, Liverpool have two more opponents in January, Brentford and Crystal Palace. Liverpool also have a second leg of the English League Cup semi-final, with Liverpool away to Arsenal.
