What we realized from Liverpool vs Manchester Metropolis

Haaland is playable: Virgil van Dijk and Joe Gomez gave everybody within the Premier League hope. You possibly can play in opposition to Erling Haaland. After a poor begin to the season, many anticipated Van Dijk to be run round by Haaland. That wasn’t the case. In any respect. Haaland nonetheless had just a few seems on objective however he received his headers mistaken, was denied by Alisson and couldn’t get freed from the Dutch heart again and Gomez who doubled up masterfully on him. This was a vital battle within the recreation and Van Dijk and Gomez gained it for Liverpool.

Liverpool vs Manchester Metropolis dwell evaluation! – By Joe Prince-Wright at Anfield

Wrapping issues up from Anfield after a wild recreation (and particularly second half!), I spoke with Klopp about his pink card. He tried to elucidate himself.

Pep Guardiola isn’t pleased with the choice to disallow Man Metropolis’s objective. In any respect. He says the officers acknowledged that they might let every thing go and so they did. Aside from the objective.

FULL TIME: Wild celebrations right here on the ultimate whistle as Liverpool win 1-0. Klopp is again out and his celebrations are fairly muted after his pink card. That’s comprehensible.

Diogo Jota is carried off the pitch with an damage that appears actually unhealthy.

Six minutes of stoppage time. Can Liverpool maintain on!?

Jurgen Klopp is SENT OFF!

Sensible clearance from Van Dijk with Haaland about to move dwelling. Man Metropolis throwing every thing at Liverpool now.

Anfield is completely bouncing!

GOALLLL! Liverpool forward! Alisson’s lengthy kick ahead finds Salah after Joao Cancelo couldn’t clear and Salah completed beautifully. Anfield erupts. 1-0 to Liverpool! This seems like a HUGE second within the season for Liverpool.

Salah curls one simply broad at one finish, whereas Haaland is denied by Alisson on the different. That is getting very tense now.

CHAOSSSS! First, Foden thought he had put Metropolis 1-0 up however referee Anthony Taylor went to the monitor after VAR advised him to verify a foul by Erling Haaland on Fabinho… THEN Liverpool break and Jota his the submit when he ought to rating…. THEN Pep Guardiola will get into it with the Liverpool followers across the Metropolis bench and goads them…. THEN it seems like just a few issues are thrown in direction of Pep and his employees. That is wild. How is it nonetheless 0-0!?

What a begin to the second half! 

 

HALF TIME: Liverpool 0-0 Manchester Metropolis – That was an excellent watch. The 45 minutes flew by. Possibilities at each ends. Haaland had a few alternatives in direction of the top of the half however Liverpool had been stable sufficient and seemed a menace on the break. To this point, so good for Jurgen Klopp’s facet.

CHANCE! Kevin de Bruyne clips in a stunning cross for Erling Haaland however his header is straight at Alisson. He needed to generate his personal energy on that however nonetheless, he’ll suppose he ought to have scored.

The sport has opened up now. Elliott virtually received in at one finish after which Foden was performed in however dallied on the ball when he ought to have gotten his shot off. Haaland has header over. Effervescent up properly right here…

OVER! Good ball in from Milner which Ederson pushes away with Jota lurking, then Robertson drills the rebound simply over. Constructive vibes right here at Anfield as the house followers roar in appreciation. Robertson is offended with himself. He ought to have hit the goal there.

This can be a actually bizarre formation from Manchester Metropolis. Seems to be like they’re enjoying a 3-1-3-3 at instances. Gundogan enjoying actually excessive and Bernardo Silva a lot deeper than common.

CHANCE! First large likelihood of the sport and Diogo Jota heads at objective however it’s straight at Ederson.

Liverpool have began properly and try to pin Manchester Metropolis again. This recreation has but to get going.

KICK OFF: What an environment right here. We’re off and operating right here at Anfield. Milner at proper again for Liverpool with Fabinho, Elliott and Thiago in central midfield. Gundogan is enjoying in a really superior function simply beneath Haaland.

It’s louddddd right here right now.

Workforce information is out and it seems like Fabinho could possibly be at heart again or James Milner at proper again as Liverpool attempt to deal with their defensive damage points. Cancelo seems like he’s enjoying at proper again with Akanji and Dias at heart again, plus Gundogan again in midfield.

Howdy and welcome to a stunning early fall day right here at Anfield!

Key storylines

Liverpool shall be buoyed by their hammering of Rangers however Klopp’s facet are giving up large probabilities galore in every recreation they play and the steadiness is completely off. Particularly in midfield and protection. The likes of Virgil van Dijk, Fabinho and Jordan Henderson look properly off the tempo, whereas Mohamed Salah hasn’t scored in his final 5 PL video games. Klopp will hope Salah’s unimaginable six-minute hat trick (a Champions League file) at Rangers will get his season going. With accidents piling up and the formation being switched round, that is going to be a really robust ask for a Liverpool facet seemingly questioning their ways, skill and cohesion all on the identical time.

Man Metropolis look fairly unstoppable proper now as Kevin de Bruyne, Phil Foden and Haaland prepared the ground. All throughout the pitch they’ve fantastic squad depth and Guardiola is rotating his crew expertly. After this recreation at Anfield they’ll count on to win just about all of their remaining PL encounters earlier than the World Cup break and that ought to transfer them again to the highest of the desk. Metropolis are 5 video games unbeaten in opposition to Liverpool and are unbeaten of their final 22 PL away matches and haven’t misplaced within the league in virtually eight months. A real juggernaut is chugging alongside properly.

In-form gamers to regulate

Liverpool’s Mo Salah shall be flying after that unimaginable hat trick at Rangers however it’s Roberto Firmino that Metropolis must be careful for. The Brazilian has develop into the forgotten man in Liverpool’s assault after the arrival of Luis Diaz and Darwin Nunez over the past two switch home windows. Nonetheless, Firmino has scored eight targets in 12 video games this season and has six targets within the PL. He solely scored 5 PL targets all final season. Diogo Jota additionally assisted all three of Salah’s targets in midweek and is beginning to look actually sharp after accidents impacted his begin to the season, whereas Nunez has scored two in his final two.

Manchester Metropolis’s Erling Haaland is on observe to attain 63 Premier League targets this season (the file in a 38-game marketing campaign is 32) and he has 20 targets in 13 video games in all competitions. Sufficient stated. Kevin de Bruyne leads the Premier League in assists (9) and scored dwelling and away in opposition to Liverpool final season. On the different finish Ederson has probably the most clear sheets (5) within the Premier League as Nathan Ake and Manuel Akanji have each stepped in and seemed excellent in protection.

Liverpool crew information, accidents, lineup choices

Luis Diaz, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Joel Matip stay out, whereas Arthur Melo can also be lacking. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Naby Keita and Curtis Jones are additionally doubts as they proceed to get well. The excellent news is that Andy Robertson is again at left again which is a large increase. Klopp has been going for what is nearly a 4-2-4 system in latest weeks however it seems like he might swap again to his 4-3-3 system for this one with Joe Gomez at proper again, Henderson, Thiago and Fabinho in midfield and Salah, Firmino and Jota in assault.

Manchester Metropolis crew information, accidents, lineup choices

Kalvin Phillips, John Stones and Kyle Walker stay out for Metropolis, so which means Joao Cancelo is prone to begin at proper again with Nathan Ake probably at left again and Manuel Akanji and Ruben Dias at heart again. In midfield Kevin de Bruyne and Bernardo Silva will certainly begin and it could possibly be Grealish alongside Foden and Haaland in assault.
