73 minutes Allison missed a punch over his own left-hand post under pressure from Watkins. The referee gives a foul against Watkins. It seemed a little soft, but perhaps fair enough.

70 minutes “Looking at Darwin’s jersey numbers, how prolific Liverpool’s former number 27 Divock Origi would have been if he had enjoyed as much playing time,” Peter Oh begins.

Had that minute been a sub, he would have scored 424 goals. It’s all Everton.

69 minutes Liverpool were shaken for a while after Watkins’ goal, but now they’ve calmed down a bit. I’m surprised Villa hasn’t signed Danny Ings yet.

56 minutes Buendia plays a good pass to the right to Bailey who can’t decide whether to shoot or cross towards Watkins and does neither.

56 minutes “In Suarez’s first full season liverpool, he broke the record for the number of times he hit the post,” says Matt Donny. “It was in the season that followed that he really hit the ground running.

53 minutes Fabinho is 25 yards out and forms a slightly wide noose curling shot.

52 minutes “Be careful what Cole and Nunez say! says Daniel Sixsmith.

“I agree about Fowler vs. Villa.” Edward Ricketts says. “Perhaps the only other goal in that category was his two goals at Old Trafford in 1995: an effortless lightning strike with little backlift to the top corner followed by a shoving of Gary Neville. and casually tipped one of the all-time great keepers.. pure joy in the embodiment of young unbridled talent!”

“Five other Liverpool front six (Robertson and Alexander-Arnold backing them up) are doing well,” says Andy Flintoff. That will probably come in time, but it’s clear that his current role is to make space for others to work and move the most forward.

half-hearted reading

“I don’t know if Nunez is out of skill or out of luck.”but he missed a lot…” says Jeff Sachs.

He reminds me of Andy Cole in his first years at Manchester United – missed many chances and may look very clumsy but always good because of his movement and irrepressible demeanor Timo Werner was pretty similar at Chelsea too. Either way, he’s a lot of fun to watch because there’s always something going on.

34 minutes “Watching Trent’s out-of-the-boots pass to Robertson made my jaw drop, but watching the replay shows that Robbo knew or just expected the pass to be made. ,” says Neil McKee. “Just like every other day. Trent got the ball and Lobo jumped into space assuming he would be found. It always amazes me what top level footballers take for granted.”

32 minutes “TAA is playing like they’re trying to prove their point,” says Matt Donnie. “Alison is playing like last month. And Nunez is playing like he embodies the concept of chaos personified.
