The Official Liverpool Thread - Part 2

[Shabby]

True but long way to go. Looked out of his depth tonight.
Endo brutal. Milner at 38 way more pace and power than this lad!

Both are very new to the whole setup, Doak is just a kid and Endo is gone from a team struggling at the bottom to a team that dominates most games. His use of possession is poor because I think he’s more used to breaking up play than passing the ball around.

Time will tell on him but he’s not after a good start to life at the club but he might adjust. Looks more a squad option than anything which is what his fee and age would have suggested anyway.

With 4 comeback wins so far, could beat Newcastle's record of 12 in 01/02

Is there a table for that? I'd imagine United 2013 would be high up?

And under Olly in the season which was mostly behind closed doors too.

I was impressed with Gravenberch last night. He showed glimpses of his quality and is defo more of a box to box midfielder than a number 6 which we still need.

Yip. For PL comeback points... https://www.football365.com/news/premier-league-comebacks-man-utd-newcastle-arsenal-spurs

Man Utd 20/21 had one more comeback win after that article, so Newcastle still top for comeback points in a PL season, and had 2 more in other competitions.
Man Utd 20/21 2nd and Man Utd 12/13 3rd.

In PL history, Spurs have the most points won from losing positions (427)

Not sure about him. He hasnt played a full senior match since a meaningless CL match 1st Nov 2022. This was only his 4th start in 2023, the last was at the end of May when he did start(surprisingly ahead of Goreztka who replaced him) and play 70 mins in the Bundesliga decider v Cologne. The two previous seasons he started 31 and 26 matches for Ajax winning the league both years which is impressive for a midfielder aged 18 and 19. Something seems to have happened in the last year and a half, ie he only got one cap for Holland in 2022 (having got 10 in 2021)and didnt make the WC squad. He did play in the Euros u21 this year but Holland drew their three matches and were knocked out.

Gomez, Matip, Van Dijk, Robertson,

Mac Allister, Szoboszlai, Jones,

Diaz, Salah, Nunez.




Subs: Kelleher, Endo, Konate, Gakpo, Elliott, Jota, Tsimikas, Gravenberch, Quansah.

I'd have preferred Konate ahead of Matip up against Antonio's physicality.
