I just watched Liverpool squeeze out a win in style against Fulham. This is coming off the back of the win we got last weekend against Arsenal. Wow! I'm buzzing right now with excitement.
This game was a rollercoaster ride for Liverpool. It's a typical game of two halves. The first half of the game was horrible for Liverpool. We were very unorganized and we played in a way that makes you wonder if this is Jurgen Klopp's squad.
The second half was a half of awakening for us. It started rather slowly, but the lads grew into the game, and BAM! We started banging in goals. The main stats for the game are highlighted in the screenshot below;
Now, let's dig deep into the key takeaways from this game.
Firstly, we gifted Fulham that first game. We were obviously under a lot of pressure in the first half of the game and we lost touch of the ball in the final third of the opposition. However, that goal we conceded was due to a defensive stinker at the back. VVD headed the ball into the feet of the opposition and that's the sort of error you rarely see from Big Virg.
Secondly, this Bradley lad is legit. I had the pleasure of watching Bradley in the 20 minutes he played against Arsenal. I thought he would be smoked by Martinelli, but that wasn't the case. He got to play for 90 minutes today and I'm very confident about what the lad brings to the team. His 1v1 defending is lit. Bradley is the truth.
Thirdly, the timing of that double pivot attacking substitution from the gaffer is electric. Klopp was quite stubborn last season and his substitutions showed that. However, I'm genuinely full of praise for the gaffer and his subs this season. His subs have secured a lot of points for us and that's exactly the case in tonight's fixture. The moment Gravenberch and Elliot were replaced by Nunez and Gakpo, it completely changed the game for us.
Lastly, the mentality of these guys is overflowing right now. Can you imagine Liverpool getting these wins in games even in the absence of very important folks like Salah, TAA, Robbo, Szobo, and Endo? We still squeeze out wins and I'm happy with the result. I'm not over the moon, but I like what the lads are doing.
Happy days for us. Haha.
Thanks For Not Missing Any Full-stop or Comma.

One thing I love about Liverpool is that even when they are down, they will find a way to rise again.
That's true and we've seen them score quick-fire goals this season. Haha.

Very good win for Liverpool.
The Premier League and Europe needs this team to be good and, beyond the victory, what I love is to see how they are getting victory with the heavyweights they are missing.
Another element that I consider important is to see how Klopp has understood the need to rotate his players, since this team always has to play them all. In addition, this rotation system allows you to test players and strategy, to have them ready and able to take on leading roles before situations like the ones the team is going through and that they are solving in a positive way.
Good analysis. Regards
This is true. You have a very deep understanding of what is going on in Liverpool and I think you are spot on about the approach that Klopp has taken towards rotating the squad for the most of this season.
We've seen a lot of rotations and I'm glad they started doing this squad rotation early enough because we are losing a lot of important players at the moment due to injury or International competitions. Yet, Liverpool are still grinding out results.
That's possible because even the young academy lads come up and know there is a place for them in the squad if they do a good job.
Thanks
