Liverpool

The Liverpool I've wanted to see is finally here! The first half had us bag our two winning goals very early on, with Isak being supplied brilliantly from Gakpo. Seeing these two alongside Wirtz co-operate together so well tonight was very fun, especially with the struggles all three players had last season. The second half had us slow down significantly, I'm not too big on it but at least we're doing this kind of play while we're ahead for once. Barcola got a runout during this half too, and his pace and skill looked exciting from the admittedly brief glimpses he got to shine with the ball at his feet. Other things I would like to point out are Szoboszlai learning to play deeper, he did it initially starting at DM and kept at it when he moved to the RW later on. Munoz, who started in that position, still looks brilliant and I think should be starting and playing there as much as possible. With the RB position, Iraola's risky decision to move Araujo in there paid off tremendously. He looked sharp at the back all game, and I think the physicality of the league and less eyes on him from the lack of armband wearing him down will make him back into the star defender he was a few years ago. Andoni's arrived in the way his predecessor did: a 2-0 away win at Portman Road. This time around though, I'm hoping to see some intensity, physicality and (of course) some more trophies come in over the next couple of seasons.

We have one more point from the same results during our title win…(lost to Forest then)…spot on review, though. I loved Araujo at RB, I think it balances the space Kerkez leaves us with. I think Szobo is a big problem unless you have him out on the right. He treats the ball like an explosive, which can be good on a UCL night at home, but horrible during an away game like this. Grav didn’t impress too much either, which really leaves that one spot up for grabs. Wonder what we’ll see Wednesday.
