Nah mate, if that header finds its way into Liverpool's net it's one of the goalkeeping howlers of the early season I'm afraid. Good save but one that any average Premier League goalkeeper makes. I agree about the saves but his all round play is miles better than the other two and they deserves to be picked up on. He did get away with one on the first half today but his all round play on the ball is so much better and will make us a better team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UNORTHODOX 179 Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 Another clean sheet the improvement defensively from the early parts of last season is incredible really, Van dijk is brilliant and Alisson is looking very good so far. I'm just hoping we can get to around December without having a rough spell like the last couple of seasons we certainly have the personnel to avoid that now.

We were very rusty today. Missed so many passes and every attacking player looked to be lacking that energy they usually have. It's good we got away with the three points. Trent probably my man of the match. Milner and Andy up there also... 5 hours ago, RandoEFC said: Brighton did well.

But he does exude calm and composure and has been good in his judgement from what I've seen. Think that is rubbing off on the defence too and the reward is 3 clean sheets... 5 hours ago, LFCMike said: Wasn't great that but we did enough in the end.

The defensive improvement gives me more confidence that we'll be more consistent in getting those results against the 15-20 ranked teams that we've historically always dropped points against... essential if we're to make city work for their title win...

Subscriber Mel81x+ 3,611 Posted August 26, 2018 Subscriber Share Posted August 26, 2018 Thought Gini was one of the better players yesterday. Seemed tuned in more than anyone else and might have even got a great assist for Salah as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inverted 1,776 Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 It is actually pretty surprising that Liverpool shiteness in close games vs underdogs really was just down to not having a reliable goalie and central defence. Honestly didn’t expect the improvement to be so straightforward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly didn’t expect the improvement to be so straightforward. Too early to be sure about it as its all different shades of grey. But considering we attack like a top 2 team, it stands to reason that adding quality players to the defensive positions will result in some improvement.... Whether we still come up exposed in those games where we attack a lot more forcefully (i.e learn that Klopp football is just not that solid at the back) we’ll find out soon enough.

The Artful Dodger 1,831 Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Liverpool actually did pretty well against the lesser sides last season didn't they? They'll want to pick up more points against the 7-8 this time round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not that they lost many but last season they were leaking goals in games you might have expected them to win... 3-3 against Watford and 1-1 against Burnley & 1-1 against Newcastle for example... This time round they look far more solid and organised and less likely to leak those types of goals that cost them points against sides that at least on paper they should be getting the better of.. Against Watford and Newcastle for instance they threw away points from a winning position... Still a long way to go and lot's of games and competitions to play in yet but playing at a level lower than you are capable of and still getting all 3 points is a good sign..

Although two wins from six against the relegated clubs wasn't great. Certainly need to improve against the top 8 this season though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Palace Fan 3,400 Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 What were Brighton doing for that Salah goal. I thought Brighton got better as the game went on but I think Liverpool winning by the one goal was well deserved. On a side note, what a difference Alisson is going to make. Second week in a row he's plucked out great saves when needed. This was exactly the type of game they would have lost last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cicero 5,265 Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Yeah like the look of Alisson. His distribution is great as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
