Isak scores!!

 

[Henabi]

ISAKKKKKKKKKKKKK

 

[cwcyenk]

Look so much better without a lazy player

 

[messi7]

Shld keep Isak on and Ekitike replace Gakpo instead

 

[spotoflove]

At least we are not the team in disarray.

 

[Home1015]

Yeah.. 2-0

 

[Preacher1010]

gomez assist ball, sweet

 

[Preacher1010]

So we keep Mo on the bench now? LLOL

 

[cwcyenk]

Hopefully Slot learnt his lesson by putting certain players on the bench and play with a proper RB

 

[Preacher1010]

Gomez is our talisman.
Dont ever doubt Gomez!

 

[PES1989]

Slot manages to survive for the time being. West Ham didn’t hammer him and put the final nail in the coffin, wasted.

 

[Lonewolf83]

Let’s hope this is a wake up call for Slot
Try to be smart aleck and he will be paying with his job

It's evident.. wirtz is salahs replacement.. that RW position gonna be made defunct soon.
4-3-1-2 is the new play.

Strongly agree with you bro! i be very straight and frank! without salah the game really felt better in a good way, Gomez took over RB and szobo had so much freedom! same goes to Wirtz he had freedom and performed really well.


Last but not least, so glad Isak scored! this is a huge morale boost and his confident will be better! Currently Slot is in deep sh1t and last warning, he needs to stop being so stubborn and pathetic.

This team feels the most balanced by far this season. Mixture of Klopps experienced players and new players, best is that more service to Isak and Isak run around more for involvement.

West Ham team is built to play Potter style so lucky for Liverpool.

New manager Nunes cannot made them defend better, How they let Isak free to tap in the goal.

Starting of the game I had be negative with both Isak and Gakpo.

Especially seeing Gakpo play for 90 mins and Isak for some miss control and have a shot well wide.

Lucky for us they both score.

Good job let win against Sunderland coming Thursday morning.

slightly better performance but attack with no real threat

Today Wirtz was way better he kept creating but nobody to finish.

 

[s7460597]

The team will get better. As isak said stay humble and work hard

 

[messi7]

Today Wirtz was way better he kept creating but nobody to finish.

Still building the understanding with the attackers but Wirtz movement and passes is really good in the game.

Gakpo for once recognized the run from Kerkez and will start to pass to him, oso less cutting in to shot and crosses more to Isak to attack

Kerkez and Konate defended well this game

Gomez played well as our right back too

Slot should stick to this lineup for now and not go back to starting Salah again. He can come on as impact sub instead

I feel Kerkez and Wirtz are unlucky. Someone mentioned a lot of times even during the early few games, he created but nobody to finish and when he was in good positions, Salah decided to go on his own instead of passing to him. Then he became the scapegoat because of his stats, which is not entirely his fault if the player he passed to can't finish or if his team mate is selfish.

Same goes for kerkez, when he makes good runs, nobody passes to him they judge him for his mistakes. Fans only look at the results and who plays the final balls, they dont look at the build-up play. Thats what I observed about Nunez and Diaz in Klopp's last season. They were involved a lot in the build-up, Nunez created chaos without the ball and it helped the build-up play but now without him we dont have that chaos while also not being able to be precise with our play.

Klopp probably understood this: that it was easier to get 1 player to create chaos in the opponents' half than get half the team to be able to play technically superior and precise football. Nunez might be one of the worst finishers, but the fact was that he even got into so many good positions to miss those simple chances speaks alot about him. Isak and Ekitike are technically way more superior than him but look at how many such positions they can even get themselves in during an entire match. Most of the time they cant even get a shot off.
