‘He absolutely bottled it’ – Liverpool fans mock Napoli striker Dries Mertens after ‘This is Anfield’ comments
Liverpool supporters had the last laugh on Tuesday night following Dries Mertens’ pre-match comments about the ‘This is Anfield’ sign.The world famous wall adornment did not impress the Belgianinternational when he visited Merseyside for the first time as a player.1And before Napoli and Liverpool met in their vital Champions League match he recalled the time at Utrecht where he missed the sign altogether.Speaking toThe Times, Mertens said: My strongest memory is that they have a sign saying This is Anfield and everyone was talking about it, so I was thinking its very big, you know.I came through the tunnel and I asked, Where is the thing? and they said you missed it and I hadnt noticed it.So, in the second half, Im looking at this small thing and asking, Is this so special?And after Liverpool ran out 1-0 winners in the match with Napoli, their supporters weren’t going to let Mertens forget what he had said before hand, as you can see below…

Mesut Ozil reportedly out of Arsenal squad for Liverpool match due to knee injury
Mesut Ozil has reportedly suffered a knee issue and so will miss Arsenal’s match against Liverpool on Saturday, live on talkSPORT.The Gunners team bus arrived in the city on Friday evening, with every member bar one disembarking as expected.2Ozil was the sole notable exception – not seen or pictured by photographers who witnessed the arrival – and it was later revealed by BBC’s David Ornstein that this was due to pain in his knee.It is understood that the German midfielder encountered the problem while training on Friday and was then withdrawn from the side.Under manager Unai Emery, Ozil has struggled for consistent game time, playing just 20 minutes between mid-November and late December.He was substituted at half time during Arsenals disappointing 1-1 draw at Brighton on Boxing Day.Reports have suggested that the 30-year-old could leave the club on a temporary basis when the transfer window opens next month, but Emery insists he is not planning to lose him.2At a recent press conference the manager stated: I am not thinking about this situation.He has scored three goals, he give us assists. Some matches we need different things tactically and individually. Its not only for him.For me the players salary is not important for me, I dont know the players salary because for me they are the same.Every player, I want to give them the same conversation or the same decision for play or not play.The most important thing for me is the commitment and they are every player with the commitment. And then when I decide they are not to play because of a tactical decision, its with him and another.If you are asking this is different because one is with more salary and the other is less salary, for me its the same.
