Liverpool gives no option to surprises

Liverpool 3-1 Newcastle United

No one is unaware that the great obsession and challenge of Liverpool This season is the Premier League, a competition that has not won since the name change and has not played since 1990. The Reds have been there for 30 years, which at that time have won the Champions League twice, the last of They in June. But those of Jürgen Klopp remained instead at the gates of the domestic title in May, before a great Manchester City. So this year they don't want to give anything away and from the beginning in the Anfield team they started more than plugged in, with 4 consecutive victories in August that soon placed them leaders.

Today they received the Newcastle United in a simple a priori match before the start of the Champions League during the week. But the magpies started strong, with a goal from Jetro Willems in the 7 ’that already made the local team restless. And is that the reds They found it difficult to find the rhythm and its best version. Little by little they were cornering their rival in their area, who barely dated shy cons and limited himself to defending. Until in the traditional offensive torrent and high pressure of the European champions, Sadio Mané found a hole to open the can with a masterful shot, after assistance from Andy Roberton on a good play by left wing. The Senegalese, as usual, was in charge of unblocking the game, and would mark the second, and shortly before the break (40 ’) to mark the second after a sensational theft and assistance of Roberto Firmino, although with the collaboration of Martin Dubravka in a clamorous error.

After the break, Jürgen Klopp's pupils had more room to develop their idea, always without leaving high blood pressure but with more spaces to play than in the first part. The slogan: avoid scares and wait for errors from the rival behind to sentence. Although it wasn't until 72 ’when Mohamed Salah did it, in a fast boarding school that left Fabian Schär on the ground. The Egyptian scored one of his classic goals: power, speed and subtle definition, to tie the three points well in Anfield. Although, yes, the technical detail of Roberto Firmino in his assistance is to see it in a loop for an entire afternoon. They were the best details of a game that had no more history, and in which the reds achieved the full to 15. Five victories in as many Premier League matches.
