I’d be worried if I was a Spurs fan. Yeah they got a goal back, but most of their threats came from set-piece situations. You can’t be paying De Zerbi this much and spending the GDP of a small country to play like Nuno’s West Ham at Anfield. Fernandes improves the team overall, but Tel and Marmoush are some of the worst footballers I’ve seen play the game. For the neutral, class game. Rain, under the lights, Spurs are Spurs, and a screamer from the Liverpool #8. For Liverpool, the concern comes from the fact that you have an asset like Gravenberch rotting on your bench. He doesn’t even look Liga de Acenso MX standard. Szoboszlai keeps being the worst and best player, so he’s worth keeping around. The McConnell and Koumas two-man showed the movement of two kids who were taught by Klopp, and I hope we see them in the league soon. Macca was a class above everyone on the pitch, and I felt like the result was never in doubt as long as he stayed on. Top 10 CMs in the world for me. Renew his deal. Also, average Mama game:

Davide Massa (born 15 July 1981) is an Italian football referee who officiates in Serie A. He has been a FIFA referee since 2014, and is ranked as a UEFA elite category referee. He is by far one of the worst referees I have ever seen officiate a match. He absolutely fell for Atletico’s and Simeone’s favorite dark arts bits, and he ignored a clear back pass from us. It is no wonder Italian football has fallen off so much when referees like these are the standard. I thought we weren’t good, yet we still deserved to win. Iraola experienced his first comeback win, and I have full faith in him as a manager. I was really impressed with how he set us up after we took the lead, it looked far better than anything under Slot. For the nostalgia merchants, KLOPP won most of our Anfield games like this. Sit back deep and counterattack while pressing like dogs. I thought VVD and Jacquet were excellent, and Kerkez was not as bad as the brain-rotted trolls claim. Our LWs always help our LBs defend, and I think Rio let us down in that regard. Szobo looks better, especially in how he connects with Wirtz. Muñoz looked like he had on the wrong boots when he came on. Gravenberch won us time by getting fouled, but he’ll need to be sold in the summer. Barcola looks like a player who hasn’t played since July, but his base looks promising. I was not surprised by that miss at all, he’s a player who takes 10 shots and misses 8. Frimpong doesn’t look half bad as a winger, but we’ll need Gomez back. Atleti have to be a social experiment by the way. How anyone can follow that team has to be a test of character. I hope we never see them again, and I can’t wait for United to face them. And to any United and Arsenal fans clowning Barcola, have fun with your unsigned Vinis and washed Rashfords.

Big win when everyone lost. These are the kinds of performances you need in order to win leagues eventually, and even though we’re far from that, I’m glad Iraola knew how to react once we jammed a lead. Bournemouth are a good team, probably the best they’ve ever been, and they were probably up for it after winning in Europe and facing their old boss. James Hill was their most impressive player for me, and even though Rayan was the most flashy, Christie feels their scariest. As for us, Wirtz is a problem. I like the guy, but this is arguably the closest Bundesliga style pitch in the league, and to mess up that many plays was concerning. Klopp needs to get in his ear or something, because for us to be sacrificing a body in midfield for another attacker, means he had to do more. Same goes for Barcola, although he did have more moments today. Isak is nonexistent in general play but he’s at four goals this season - he can do ballet on the edge of the box for all I care, as long as he sticks it in the back of the net. Gakpo is playing like 19/20 Gnabry, simply unplayable, dribbling and jamming in the ball anywhere. Macca and Szobo will go under the radar today, as will Kerkez, but all three were really good at just making it hard for Bournemouth to play. Jacquet looks like the heir to VVD, for all the hate Hughes gets, he got that signing right. Look at Lacroix and Konsa this weekend, then look at Jacquet. The kid might surpass Varane in talent and achievement. Nyoni needs to play more. The fact he came on and we didn’t notice him, is a testament to the player he has become. To be that calm at 19, IN MIDFIELD, is incredible. He needs to be starting next to Macca. A word on Alisson. Simply the best GK in the league. How many times he’s saved us is insane, and for him to only have two leagues and a UCL is kind of disrespectful. He needs least another UCL here. Thought Iraola reacted well, closed up the team, and got us to October undefeated. Good weekend.
