45 minutes was the answer.

Would reckon was a pre-planned sub given the lack of football he has played

What a hit son, what a hit.

Special that.

Will be hard to top that for goal of the season. Unreal strike.

Thought McConnell and Nyoni were excellent...and Koumas never stopped

Lucky to take the 3 points home

Maybe, but they did take the 3 points home. They would have lost a game like that last season, and in fact did lose away to Bournemouth last season!
Still unbeaten and plenty of room for improvement. They won't be winning the title this year fair enough but I'm optimistic things are going in the right direction.

Can't see them finishing above City or Arsenal but 3rd is achievable.

Defence with JJ and Araujo seem to be a lot better
Attack if it clicks could be fun. Would like it to start soon

Head to the three week break on a high

One or two injuries could derail all but a strong 12/13 there

More thoughts as I get them 🤓

Unbeaten start to the season, albeit a bit up and down, is not to be sniffed at. Defensively starting to settle, a new manager should always build strength from the back. Become stingy on goals against and the goals for would come.

Isak is a supreme finisher and if serviced right will hit 25-30 goals a season. Wirtz is a worry but I reckon he will come good.

you would hope so but a full season and 6 games into the second it is getting less likely

Armamike · September 21, 2026, 12:47:04 PM

I've big doubts about Wirtz as well. Not seeing any improvement yet on last season.

brokencrossbar1 · September 21, 2026, 12:50:26 PM

I know, sometimes it doesn't work. The price tag can also weigh heavily on people sometimes so perhaps there is that. With stability behind him in a double pivot I think he would improve significantly

I dont think Liverpool can afford to carry Wirtz much longer. The midfield area is crying out for more athleticism, aggression, and defensive cover.

Unfortunately the only position i would consider playing Wirtz in right now would be as a false 9. And with the purchases of Isak and Ekiteke, Liverpool wont be going with a false 9 for the foreseeable
