Result: Brentford 1-4 Liverpool
It's not a difficult game. Liverpool As for the unique goals scored by Darwin Nunez, Alexis McAllister, Mohamed Salah, and Cody Jacobo, most of them were the result of defensive errors. But the Brentford match itself should be viewed as a frustrating match. With both Curtis Jones and Diogo Jota lost due to injury issues. Who still does not know how long they will have to rest their legs.
Kevin Kelleher – 7 – There is a chance to make some serious saves. From a shot on target, 6 rounds for the home team. Including the ball that missed the goal. In fact, he was able to save the first moment. It was just that the ball moved forward until Ivan Toney finished off it
Andrew Robertson – 7 – He plays with good qualities as a left back. The entire defensive game there were no mistakes made. In a well-coordinated offensive game with friends, the ball is released threatening to hurt the opponent. Although it may not be filled all the way to the top.
Virgil van Dijk – 8 – He creates a lot of danger by adding to the game and helping with set pieces. He almost added the fifth score in the last match of stoppage time. While the defensive game was not a problem. Especially when children eat in the air. The only drawback is that it did not succeed in preventing the child from cracking the egg.
Ibrahima Konate – 7 – Played at the level it should have been, coordinating with Van Dijk to close down Brentford's attacking game well throughout the match. Although there was some open space for Neal Maupay in the first half.
Connor Bradley – 7 – It was another good game for the powerful right-back. A new rising star is better than a swan star. With a defensive game that does not make mistakes and an offensive game that helps move the game smoothly to the right. Plus you have the opportunity to add the shot yourself at once as well.
Curtis Jones – 6 – I haven't been able to do much yet. I just played a passing and tackling game in the first half hour. He was injured and had to be substituted in the 34th minute, which must be monitored to determine the severity of the condition.
Wataru Endo – 8 – The Japanese national team captain is highly involved in the game and it is clear that he plays as one with his friend in the Liverpool midfield. Although the offensive game is not great, he can be relied upon to help in the defensive game.
Alexis Mac Allister – 8 – There were chances to count a few times, but there was one goal from extra time that went past the local goalkeeper. It was considered another satisfactory match for the world champion midfielder.
Luis Diaz – 8 – He may be less prominent than the fellow strikers around him. But there is a style of play that is causing immediate headaches for Brentford on his home turf and he also has one assist for Cody Jacobo on the strike.
Darwin Nunez – 7 – Liverpool took a 1-0 lead with a superior goal in the 34th minute, opening up Liverpool's ability to play with confidence after that. It was a shame that we were eliminated at the start of the second half. Which I hope won't cause another injury.
Diogo Jota – 7 – Even without points, he coordinated the attacking play with his teammates excellently, and the 1-0 goal, which was a header, made Nunez escape alone and deceive the goal, which clearly shows that Jota is a player who is always loyal to playing for the team. From now on, you'll have to wait and see. How severe is the pain? How long should I rest?
Spare
Ryan Grafenberg (Replaced by Curtis Jones, 34th) – 7 – Coming down to stand on the far left in midfield to replace Jones after half an hour. Although it's not a very great game. But play with discipline and according to his boss's orders
Mohamed Salah (In place of Diogo Jota, 44th place) – 8 – At first, I still couldn't quite catch the rhythm. The ball rose high and the opportunity wasted. But when they got to the right spot behind the house, Brentford were completely unable to cope. In this match he scored 1 and made 1.
Cody Jackpo (In place of Darwin Nunez, 46th) – 8 – Like Salah, he came off the bench and performed very well, including one goal and one assist. If he can always play with this kind of performance, the fans will be happy.
Joe Gomez (Replaces Connor Bradley, 83 years old) nothing Go down to fix the leading score. It was considered that there was no foul in the last 7 minutes plus another 7 minutes of stoppage time.
Harvey Elliott (Replaces Alexis McAllister, 83 years old) nothing Go down to add power in the midline towards the end. But I couldn't play with the ball much.
