And now you will believe them.
A 2-0 victory over Manchester City means that Liverpool at the head of the Premier League table opened a lead of 11 points. Her triumph in the Etihad Stadium means that you have completed a League double compared to the Champions, and Arne Slot seems ready to steal Pep Guardiola’s Krone in the first year.
A faulty city was severely hindered by Erling Haaland’s absence after enjoying a lot of territory and a large part of the ball. Sky Blue Storms were weathered with serenity by the efficient Reds, who managed the competition in the second half after a 2-0 lead before half-time.
Here were the best and worst players of both teams from the important duel on Sunday.
January -S. Omar Marmoush Last weekend in the Premier League with a hat trick against Newcastle, and the followers of the city should undoubtedly be encouraged by the talent they have available.
The victory against Eddie Howes Magpies showed how effective marmoush will be with Haaland during the tandem. He was forced to take a greater responsibility against the Reds with Guardiola again, which had decided to use him as part of a false nine pair with Phil Foden. There was a lot of drift, where sparks appeared when he fell between the lines and his finish (from an offside position) showed how efficient he can be in front of the goal.
Liverpools Imperious Center-Backs made this a big challenge, but the threat of the Egyptian was obvious in the opening lesson. He is able to produce something out of nowhere.
Concerted efforts were made to maintain Kevin de Bruyne For the “big” occasions during the most likely swan song of the Belgian in Manchester. However, the midfield was an unused replacement in Madrid on Wednesday, and he hardly had an hour in his locker here.
Physically, the 33-year-old de Bruyne is no longer strength. While the Belgian can still weave his wand and masterfully generate from both feet, the running force of his Apex has dissolved. The knee tendon surgery, which he was subjected to in 2023, asked for its toll.
The iteration of de Bruyne, which manifested itself against Liverpool, was far from the city’s power package, which cited several title triumvy. He must be seen at Dominik Szoboszlai with a bubbling envy.
Liverpool was brilliant as a collective and the basics for their victory were from behind. Alisson exuded calmly after a nervous early blow and her center-back pairing defended the box with vintage power.
However, it was the inevitable power of the red, which again proved to be a difference.
City Limited Liverpool on moments, but that’s all Mohamed Salah Required to lead visitors to a local triumph. The Egyptian has Bournemouth’s estimated coach (and Dominik Szoboszlais, the delightful film) for the expansion of his powerful impressive torah run, which extended to eight games.
Salah then replied before the break and looked up at Szoboszlai to achieve Liverpool’s second in which the game went beyond the hosts. During this term in all competitions (41 in the Premier League), he achieved 50 tore posts and continues to begin one of the big seasons ever.
This would certainly have been a different game if Erling Haaland had taken in the Liverpool box in the Liverpool box, since the wing players had been enjoyed the success of the loss of success against their respective full-backs.
Savinho and Jeremy Doku could not deliver with reliable accuracy from intersection situations, but a large part of their stake – to use a golf reference, was Brillant. They were relentlessly able to create a courtyard of separation, and Doku was particularly effective against Trent Alexander-Arnold. The English full -back constantly tried to take possession of the Belgian when they did one to one, but documentary feet were far too fast.
Alexander-Arnold was over eight times eight times in the first half alone, and Slot finally made changes that offered more support when Wataru Endo entered the fight and joined Liverpool’s backline. Andrew Robertson was also replaced by Kostas Tsimikas.
This was certainly not Manchester United at home by Alexander-Arnold, who offered a certain value in possession, but Doku made this a difficult trip for him.
