Klopp keeping his powder dry for the second half with that XI?

Can see why Nunez hasn’t started but thought Jota might get the nod up front. No major shock otherwise.

Soft early goal. Ideal.

Class claw away from Alisson, although it wouldn't have counted due to offside.

Trent's distribution is a welcome return. Big feature of the game early on.

I don't see Liverpool keeping a clean sheet tonight, but they might score 4

Much better but should be 2-0 up. Salah butchered a glorious chance. It was a simple lob, ball sat perfectly on his left, not sure how he skewed it so far wide but he did. Atalanta do look a threat with basic play though. I must say their press is really intense. If we can just play the ball forward more direct we will turn them and get more chances. But we look dodgy at the back too.

Front 5 are fucking hopeless. No cohesion at all. Pen and set piece v united, fuck all v palace and a pen again tonight.

All shockingly low on confidence and cant even do the basics ffs.

Salah missed a simple enough chance earlier.
Not been at the races for a while.

Was a potential red card for Atalanta too for handball when potentially clean through but would probably have been harsh.

I actually think Atalanta’s press is good and we have struggled to make good decision in the final third or midfield because of it so we will need them to tire if we want clear cut chances.

 

[Philby]

Liverpool running out of juice. No grandstand finish tonight boys.

 

[Orchard thief]

Complete rubbish.

Salah/Diaz should be flogged in summer.


In for a few bleak years unless the owners dig into their pockets.
