Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher admits Arsenal are genuine title contenders after Sunday's 1-1 draw at Anfield.
Carragher said: "Arsenal are a great side, but we were very close to them, we are just six points behind and it was nearly a couple less with that display.
"We battled hard, and we are proud of the way we played with commitment and effort, but Arsenal did play well, they are going to be a tough side to catch.
"Unfortunately we have picked up some more injuries. Torres will be a big loss, but Peter Crouch was excellent when he came on.
"But we have been under the cosh a bit from the critics, who seem to have forgotten that we are still unbeaten in the league ourselves this season."
Carragher added: "We have been under pressure, people keep saying how bad we have been, but I didn't feel that pressure despite everything that has been written about us since we lost in Istanbul.
"We know we have had too many draws. We have just held Arsenal, which we feel is a good result, but we now must improve our home form."
Liverpool goalkeeper Jose Reina backed Carragher's view that Arsenal are a top side.
He said: "There's not much doubt they were one of the best sides I have ever played against."
He added: "I think it is a point gained because they were the better side.
"We tried to fight and to keep our level as high as we could but they were one of the best sides I have ever seen.
"They were brilliant but I think we had some chances as well. We probably did not deserve to win but we didn't deserve to lose either."
Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard admits he was bowled over by the performance of Arsenal rival Cesc Fabregas in yesterday's 1-1 draw.
Fabregas, 20, scored his 10th goal of the season to return Arsenal to the top of the Premier League on Sunday.
And Gerrard, who also scored in the absorbing encounter, said the Spaniard was playing at a fantastic level.
He said: "The world is his oyster. He can go on to be one of the best in the world, there is no doubt about that."
"So far this season he is having a fantastic time. If he keeps working hard at his game and stays as dedicated as he has been so far, he can achieve anything," Gerrard added.
The game was a intriguing battle between the two players, which Fabregas said he would learn from.
"I would love to have (Gerrard) in my team," said Fabregas.
"He is the player who four or five years ago when I was in my house I was looking up to him.
"And now I have the chance to play against him which is fantastic for me to keep learning because he is one of the best midfielders in the world."
Manchester United gaffer Sir Alex Ferguson believes that Arsenal's young players are good enough to stop Manchester United from retaining the Barclays Premier League title this season.
Players such as Cesc Fabregas, Robin van Persie and Denilson have caught Ferguson's eye and the United boss believes that Arsene Wenger's team are good enough to stop United from winning their tenth Premier League title.
"The title race is still open, but Arsenal have made a great start and you can't deny that," Ferguson said. "And in Arsene Wenger they have a manager who has been there before and they also have the players who done it as well. Kolo Toure and Gilberto Silva know how to win the title, so the inexperience of some of their younger players won't be a handicap.
"Some of the youngsters haven't experienced it before, but the same could be said of some of our players last year and we led the Premiership for three-quarters of a season. We have missed players this season through injury, but we have got on with it and won games, so everything is coming together well."

A new DVD, 'Arsene's XI', is due to be released on Monday with Wenger giving his personal opinion on the top players in his time at the Gunners. Wenger's XI:
DAVID SEAMAN
(Goalkeeper; 245 apps)
"HE was always so calm, he was always smiling.
"When his back was to the wall he always responded well. He hid his steel behind that nice smile of his."
LAUREN
(Right-back; 227 apps, 14 sub)
"HE was playing in midfield when I signed him but he didn't know he would be my replacement for Lee Dixon.
"Lauren's a very tough guy, you can go to war with him as he is a real winner.
"He will fight the toughest players and never lie down."
ASHLEY COLE
(Left-back; 218 apps, 10 sub)
"ASHLEY will remain red 'n white all his life.
"He is a defender who loves to attack. Everybody loves him because when you regain possession of the ball, he is there alongside you, ready to attack. A top-level performer."
MARTIN KEOWN
(Centre-back; 250 apps, 14 sub)
"MARTIN had a tremendous appetite for winning. He was unbelievable in one-on-ones and had the technique but not always the confidence."
KOLO TOURE
(Centre-back; 217 apps, 27 sub)
"KOLO was turned down by three clubs but I signed him after a short trial.
"His conversion from midfield was an amazing success.
"He has a natural desire to help people, to give everyone and everything 100 per cent."
FREDDIE LJUNGBERG
(R-midfield; 285 apps, 43 sub)
"I became a fan of his the moment I saw him play for Sweden against England. He took on Martin Keown and got past him. When he loses a game he is sick for two days."
PATRICK VIEIRA
(C-midfield; 393 apps, 9 sub)
"WHEN I knew I was coming to Arsenal, I asked Patrick to come as well. He had it all.
"Whether it was Sheffield Wednesday on a wet Monday or Milan in the Champions League, he gave you his all."
RAY PARLOUR
(C-midfield; 270 apps, 48 sub)
"LOOK at his medals. It tells you he is one of the biggest-ever players for Arsenal.
"He is better in the last minute than the first. Ray's an engine that never stops."
ROBERT PIRES
(L-midfield; 238 apps, 46 sub)
"I think he's the best left-sided midfielder in the world.
"With the ball at his feet he became a ballet dancer. He will remain one of the greatest- ever players for this club."
THIERRY HENRY
(Striker; 337 apps, 33 sub)
"HE had lost his appetite at Juve and was convinced he couldn't score goals!
"But for us he had years when he was the Michael Jordan of football - he could score when he wanted."
DENNIS BERGKAMP
(Striker; 298 apps, 78 sub)
"He was the most gifted player when I took over. Ask Henry or Ian Wright who they wanted alongside and it was Dennis. You could almost touch his class."

"watching ARSENAL is like making love to a beautiful woman. you go to sleep afterwards knowing life is good"
Theo Walcott memperlihatkan potensinya dengan dua gol yang berkualitas serta satu assist yang diselesaikan Cesc Fabregas. Kemudian Cesc Fabregas kembali meneruskan penampilan cemerlangnya dengan dua gol serta satu assist ke Alex Hleb, tapi yang paling mengesankan saya adalah penampilan Alex Hleb, mungkin ada benarnya beberapa media yang menyebutnya “The White Ronaldinho”, dribbling, trick, passing dan shootingnya berbuah satu gol dan dua assist yang diselesaikan oleh Cesc dan Walcott, serta satu shooting keras yang berbuah gol bunuh diri Hubacek.
Gol terbaik mungkin adalah gol keenam atau gol keduanya Cesc Fabregas, disini Arsenal kembali memperlihatkan counter attack mematikan dengan alur serangan yang indah dilihat, satu dua sentuhan yang mengalir cepat dimulai dari dribbling maut Alex Hleb di sisi sayap sebelah kiri kemudian mengumpan ke Adebayor ditengah, kemudian bola diterima Walcott yang hanya dengan satu sentuhan langsung mengumpan ke tengah kotak penalty dimana sudah ada Cesc yang tinggal menyelesaikannya jadi sebuah gol.
3 Passing cepat …. Magnificent !!! The Finest Counter Attacking play I’ve ever seen.
Dengan dua pertandingan penting berikutnya yaitu melawan Liverpool dan Manchester United, kemenangan ini merupakan sebuah pembangkit moral yang sangat bagus buat Theo Walcott disaat van Persie tidak dapat diturunkan karena cedera (“His injury is a medial knee ligament. At one stage we were scared it was a cruciate but we had good news and the scan was positive. But it is still a long injury.”)
Theo Walcott kemungkinan akan masuk dalam Starting Line-up bersama Adebayor menghadapi dua tim kuat tersebut, mengingat Eduardo masih belum dapat beradaptasi dengan kondisi pertandingan di Premiership.
Semoga kemenangan ini dapat menginspirasi tim untuk mencapai hasil yang lebih baik…..

Kunci keberhasilan Arsenal : Wenger, Rowley dan Scouting Networknya Start yang dilakukan Arsenal musim ini terbilang sangat bagus, mengingatkan kita akan Arsenal sewaktu menjadi juara Liga dengan tidak terkalahkan. Padahal saat ini Arsenal didominasi dengan pemain-pemain muda, yang pada awal musim kompetisi banyak orang meragukannya.
Banyak orang lebih memilih untuk menjagokan Liverpool dengan pembelian Ryan Babel dan Fernando Torresnya, kemudian Manchester United dengan Owen Hargraeves, Nani, Carlos Tevez serta Chelsea yang membeli Florent Malouda, namun Arsenal?
Wenger hanya membeli pemain-pemain yang tidak terlalu dikenal seperti : Eduardo Da Silva, Lukasz Fabianski, Bacary Sagna serta pemain-pemain muda yang tidak cukup kita kenal sebelumnya. Walaupun pada awal September terungkap Arsene Wenger mempunyai dana melimpah untuk transfer pemain sekelas Franck Ribery sekalipun ( +/- £ 70juta )
Wenger : "Money is there if I want it, but I will only spend it if I think it is necessary.
"Money is there to help you create good team, but when you feel you already have a good team, you do not need to spend."
"I believe in this side, and have said that many times.
"That is not down to how much money is or is not available - it is purely down to the fact that I believe this side is good enough to achieve something together."
Ya, memang seperti itulah kebijaksanaan Arsene Wenger dalam pembelian pemainnya, mengutamakan pemain muda berbakat yang belum matang untuk dipoles menjadi bintang, serta membeli pemain sesuai kebutuhan tim-nya.
Harry Redknapp kemudian dalam tulisannya di harian The Sun mengatakan :
"I'm ready to admit it - I'm jealous of Arsene Wenger at Arsenal and I wouldn't mind betting there are another 18 Premier League managers who feel exactly the same way.
"The jealousy isn't because the Gunners are perched top of the table after a blistering start to the campaign.
"No. It's because the scouting network Arsene has developed is second to none and has set the benchmark for all of us to try to follow.
"Just how does he keep finding these talented kids who have got everyone raving over their polished performances despite their tender years?
"Who spotted Emmanuel Eboue? Who unearthed Abou Diaby? Who discovered Gael Clichy and who found 17-year-old Armand Traore?
"And how did Arsenal manage to nick Cesc Fabregas from Barcelona of all clubs?
"These kids weren't on anyone else's radar yet Arsene has snapped them up, stuck them in a red shirt and the rough diamonds are shining as bright, if not brighter, than anything in the top flight.
"Steve Rowley has been the Arsenal chief scout for years and a lot of credit must go to him for the endless work he does behind the scenes.
"But crucially for Arsenal, they have placed staff in several countries around the world whose sole task is to go out and find new talent.
"They have personnel in all the major football countries but importantly I believe they also have full-time staff in many African countries and European back waters."
Masih banyak pemain-pemain muda Arsenal yang akan menjadi bintang dibawah polesan Arsene Wenger : Carlos Vela, Gilles Sunu, Fran Merida, Havard Nordveit, Kieran Gibbs, Henry Lansbury, Nacer Barazite, dan masih banyak lagi.
So... kita dukung terus kiprah Arsenal di English Premier League....
