League Cup vs Man City (A) - 3-2
For the neutrals and Man City fans that was a great return to English club football after the World Cup. For Liverpool fans it was a mixture of good and bad. We should've been blown out of the water in the first fifteen minutes of the first half, but we stuck at it and went in at half time level. Then immediately conceded in the second half, got back in it straight away and then threw it away again. I do have some sympathy for the team that started, who were a bunch of first and second teamers playing against Haaland, KDB, Rodri and Gundogan. But it highlighted that we need some new players in January. Nunez had a hat-trick of chances that he failed to get on target. Villa away won't be easy on the weekend but VVD, Konate, Firmino, TAA and Alisson might be back by then.
Kelleher was great. Milner was fine. Matip was good. Gomez was fine. Phillips was fine. Robertson was fine. Bajcetic was fine, Elliott was fine, Thiago was fine, Henderson was fine, Fabinho was fine, Keita was fine, Ox was good, Salah was fine, Nunez was fine, Carvalho was good.
