Wow, what a first main event of the season. The game started very fast, couldn’t quite believe how quick Elanga was for that first goal, almost feel quite happy for him as well considering the amount of criticism he received from the Newcastle fans last season. I was surprised by this new look Newcastle team, I had a real bad feeling for them this season with Bruno G, Tonali, Gordon and Eddie Howe all departing, however they looked bang up for it. New signing Amar Dedic looked excellent, was completely owning that right hand side and caused Kerkez an awful lot of issues, him and Elanga partnered really well. Hornicek looks like he has a bit in goal also, however it’s hard to judge a goalkeeper off one game. Yoane Wissa my personal MOTM, looked a shadow of his Brentford self last season however today he showed that quality and even more, his hold up play was immense and for a little fella he has a huge leap on him. Excellent. Onto Liverpool, I thing Cody Gakpo’s goal was excellent, it shows exactly why Roberto De Zerbi is desperate for him at Tottenham, however you have to feel following today’s performance and the reports surrounding Omar Marmoush, it’s hard to see that deal materialising. One constant for Liverpool throughout both last seasons poor showing and the sloppy start to this season is no matter how the team plays, Dominik Szobozslai will turn up, another quality performance from him. There was always gonna be a dramatic ending to this game, there always is. I was disappointed that Isak didn’t step up to take the penalty but who can blame him when Szoboszlai has the ability to do that under immense pressure. Overall, a great game to watch, Liverpool will 100% take a point, however Newcastle will be disappointed not to have won.
