Liverpool vs Leeds Utd - Premier League (20/21 - Game 1)

[Buzzo]

Plenty to work on, but 3 points in the bank and Salah with a hat-trick.

Feel like a signing might freshen it up a bit. Also think we might need to see Joel and Virgil back in tandem.

[Buzzo]

Also. We’ve started getting pens again we got **** all last season.

[BigChief]

Huge, huge win. So many players got to wake up. Starting with VvD. Suppose Klopp had to use this game to get Trent and Hendo match fit. But boy did we not help them out with our general ****iness. Gomez and Firmino, my God.

Like I said about Norwich, after the first game last season- Leeds will have no problem staying up!!

God our defense was so bad- sign of a good team, to get the points when we played **** though! Hopefully we are a different animal next week or Chelsea will put us to the sword! If we had dropped points there, the next 2 games would have looked very daunting!

Glad for the 3 points and off the mark. Hat trick for mo, who looked sharp. Need to be much more clinical, as was the case since coming back from lockdown, bobby & mane chances today at the least should have been scored. Defense can only get better performance wise moving forwards. On to the next game!

Yeah VVD needs to calm down on the ‘Highlights reel’ overplaying. That’s a couple recently now.

We should not feel we’ve not been good today. Leeds will cause most teams a lot of problem this season. Their problem will be to keep their level up all season. We were not at our best but a lot of our problems were due to the quality of Leeds and their peculiar way of playing.

Performance-wise that was almost as bad as it could get, truely shocking, result-wise we got lucky

Yeah they went toe to toe. And lost. I’d be up for more teams trying that with us as the season progresses.

It wasn’t really. Leeds were our match today and there is no shame in that.

So-so I'd say. No worse than the rest of the midfield

Yup, very decent going forward but lost his man off the bench. But that happens, we've all been there off the bench.

Leeds might be the new Norwich. We were absolutely dire today, everyone apart from Mo didn't show. All round we won't play as bad this season.

We had shocking errors at the back not just for the goals we were all over the place at the back. The midfield was poor, at times we could barely string two passes together, the pressing was poor. Leeds had more possession better pressing and they made the game very even. Up front we missed chances and all our goals came from set pieces. Aside from Mo everyone was under par.

The only good things to take away were the 3 points and the fact that it was a huge kick up the arse that we need to learn from.

Not often I agree with Souness, but saying Leeds might have done us a big favour there ain't far from the truth.

That said, theres a lot in that performance that's been evident since the return and we've not clicked out of it yet.

We were not at our best definitely but it was far from being shocking. A couple of goals we conceded were sloppy but did you expect us to walk over Leeds first game of the season? I didn’t.

We won without playing well again. This type of efficiency wins leagues and I’m not concerned yet.
