Liverpool (N) - Community Shield | Man of the Match

[CityPar]

The whole team in general were poor and sluggish. Hardly surprising given it's was only our 3rd pre-season game which compared to pretty much everyone else means we're behind in terms of match practice. Wouldn't be surprised if we struggled next Sunday as well. But this has always been the case with Pep and usually things turn out very nicely in the end so I'm not worried. I though Alvarez looked decent when he came on and Silva for me tried to get things going but was not really supported well enough by the rest. As for Haaland the performance was underwhelming but he did show nice runs at times which promises much. Surprised how for a big lad he lost a few physical challenges. Needs to do better there at least. He's only played 2 games for us. He can only get better and then it'll be Nunez who??

Walker and Cancelo looked especially poor defensively.

I wonder if the injury that Walker had last season will affect his pace? Cancelo, really played poorly. We need that left back signed quickly.

Just put it down to another bad day at the office. A frustrating performance -as it always is against the Dippers.
Does Klopp not have the best managerial head to head record against Pep??
We’re never properly at it against Tottenham as well - we allow Son to showcase his considerable skills again and again and again.

Bernardo

Thought our entire back 4 looked woeful

Yep.

Thought Kev was pretty poor if I'm honest.

Very little went right for him yesterday.

Bernie.
He was popping up everywhere in the first half and getting involved and he was our most effective player.

It looked like only Bernie was prepared to put the leg work in yesterday.
But the guy hates the Dippers so that was just standard.
Thought Walker was poor, he seemed like he'd already thrown the towel in just before their 3rd.
Grealish really needs some big performances this season.
Anyway it starts proper next week

IMO He’s generally ‘not quite right’ until he gets up to full match fitness . . seems to have a few not so great games at the seasons start and upon return from injury. But then a few games in and then he’s his regular awesome again.
