Who was your man of the match against LASK?
Great analysis David,
I agree šÆ % in your report.
Ryan G. Was my star man, heās definitely a player whoāll become a regular. He was solid.
Felt for Stefan and it made me realise how good Trent is, he still a fantastic job.
Diaz is so exciting to watch and even on slow motion, the speed of his finish was electric!
Great result.

Honestly I thought that Alisson would have saved it. Otherwise decent.
Gravenburch outstanding????ā¦..really???
Good.
Another brilliant match report, David. My go to channel now for succinct and accurate analysis for the mighty Reds.
Donāt know what game Lynch was watching. Endo had a solid game. Stats support that. But I guess peopleāll see what they want to see.
I couldn't watch the match so thanks for the analysis. Keep up the good work.
Diaz+Nunez+Salah definitely start vs West Ham.
Granenberch wasn't outstanding at all.
We need to play Endo as the centre midfield defender as he shows at international level that is his position so give him that roll then that would free Mac Allister and Szoboszlai going forward forward and coursing havoc then add ā¤Gravenberch into the mix and then our fire power up front is just mouth watering I have to say.
Then ball from Gravenberch to Luis Diaz was just world class and if Messi, Ronaldo or Kevin De Bruyne had made that pass we would be drulling over it. You can see the togetherness in this team and it has showed since the Premier League has started the mentality monsters are back, playing heavy metal football like when Klopp first arrived in October 2015. He is loving it and in his contract there is a 2 year extension clause and the players that he has signed there contracts finish in 2027/2028 and if he signed the 2 year extension clause that will be one hell of a signing and showing to the youngsters he is going know where which would be unbelievable.
ROLL ON WEST HAM YNWA
Surprised at your opinion on Elliot and gravenbercheās performances. Elliot for me was absolute class and showed what he has been showing off the bench, and gravenberch was very sloppy first half, as many misplaces passes as endo (not that he had a bad game at all, personally just felt Elliot was the standout midfielder)
this iis how midfieldplayers should play. Ryan n Endo never stop running, always within reach of engagement. Only problem is to watch for injuries to their feet n legs…..because with all the turning n twisting, opposing players mistime tackles.
I thought he was poor first half but grew into the game Gravenberch also there was alot more worst performances that first 45mins than Endo
Are you kidding? Gravenberch played poorly.
Also their goal was not a wonder strike. Chill out with the stupid Bias, it's just annoying.
Tsimikas being captioned as simulcast š
very pleased with Gravenberch he showed exactly why I always wanted him, great on the ball, very technical, great movement, love his ability to carry the ball, press resistant, intelligent, just needs more game time to build up confidence and get more familiar with everything and he is gonna be a huge success, he pretty much carried the midfield till Szobo came on
he cant be happy every game Liverpool have started they have started very poorly ,this is a problem others will take note of Napoli did last champions league season .this is not the standards of a premiership challenger ,Wolves , Chelsea ect this season hopefully top four if others slip up
Good game.
Sloppy = Shit Pitch
The bounce/roll was pretty unpredictable which would be even more challenging if it is your first games of the season.
