Somehow it still doesn’t feel like this new Liverpool team has really clicked. Several new signings look really classy but might still need more time to fit into Arne Slot’s plan. Nonetheless they still somehow managed to win every league game and sit comfortably at the top of the table. Let’s see if Arsenal, City, Chelsea or anyone else can mount a challenge, but so far it already looks like Liverpool are once again the team to beat.
Thought Liverpool were noticeably better once Robertson and then Bradley came on. Not convinced by Kerkez and, great though Szoboszlai is when he fills in at RB, he’s not really right for the role of bombing up the wings.
Thought Wirtz was starting to show some nice moments yesterday, more than he has done so far, but he does seem to get bullied a bit, unfortunately. His attempts to link up with Salah were exciting though, so very close things as they played 1-2s in the Burnley box.
Funny game yesterday - Liverpool were pretty lucky, but they also absolutely deserved to win the game 😁
I agree. Liverpool started to improve as the game went on. I’m still a bit lost on Wirtz though. He’s clearly a very gifted footballer, but he still looks a little bit out of place in this team. Perhaps it’s just the period of getting used to the much more demanding Premier League. I don’t think the Bundesliga is a bad league at all. Nonetheless, the intensity across 90+ minutes of football is higher in England and some players take some time to get used to that.
