Kieran Tierney has detailed Mikel Arteta's 'tactical change' which kept Mohamed Salah quiet in last weekend's clash at the Emirates.
The Reds lost 3-2 in controversial circumstances on Sunday, with goals from Darwin Nunez and Roberto Firmino not enough to equal Gabriel Martinelli's early opener and a Bukayo Saka brace. Jurgen Klopp cut a frustrated figure after the final whistle, citing a potential offside in the build up to Martinelli's goal, a missed handball by Gabriel and the soft penalty call that handed Arsenal their winner as three decisions which went against his side on the day.
With Oleksandr Zinchenko injured, Tierney was in-line to make a rare start start his and go head-to-head with Salah. But just a few days before Arsenal welcomed Liverpool to North London, Arteta told the Scot he would be picking Takehiro Tomiyasu - naturally a right-back - on the left instead in a tactical tweak designed specifically to quell the Egyptian King.
