Hugo Ekitiké MUST be Liverpool's number 1 ST target. Forget Alexander Isak. This is football's Victor Wembanyama. This is a generational striker. 🧵.

Real Madrid’s LW spot is now firmly Yan Diomande’s.

Obviously one of the finest technicians on the planet but it’s always the mental side that blows me away with Arda Guler. He has such a big pitch personality; comfortable absorbing so much pressure and seems to dissipate it for his teammates.

It’s for moments like this why I knew Ronald Araujo would be the perfect Liverpool defender; 2 intense but simple defensive actions. But it’s the level of effort and force exerted in each action that gets the Anfield crowd on its feet: this is what the Liverpool supporters want to see. Conversely, the Barcelona fans would not want to see Araujo smash the ball in close proximity, and gets a collective groan from the crowd.

He’s got a future at Liverpool.

Just 12 games into the season and Jeremy Jacquet is already becoming underrated. That performance that he put in vs Brighton was effortless yet it looks like a normal 7/10 display from him; this is the same thing that happens to Virgil van Dijk. Rolls Royce.

I don’t think people realise just how impressive these set of results are from Liverpool. The amount of top sides that are going to drop points to these 3 away (granted Liverpool still have to play Brighton away) is insane.

That’s 4 performances on the bounce from Florian Wirtz after the Man City game. If this is the floor level of influence that Wirtz can have on a Premier League game, then he’ll be a success. It’s all down to the mental; there seems to be a real confidence to every action now.

This is exactly what you want from your £100M+ signings; making the difference when it matters. Love the contribution from Barcola to chase down that ball but the movement from Isak is outrageous. xitter.cf/TGZ0050/status/2114361…

He’s moving with confidence.

I never sold my stocks in Mathys Tel: this is what he can do.

This is an upgrade on Emi Martinez.

England’s current period of dominance in Europe is greater than any other nations period. Name me another country who had 7/8 sides beating the rest of Europe’s elite comfortably.

This loan is doing Ifeanyi Ndukwe a world of good.

This has to be Florian Wirtz floor; the absolute minimum level of influence and personality imposed on the game.

Trey Nyoni belongs on the UCL stage.

Lovely finish from Florian Wirtz which catches out Gulacsi all because of the way he strikes the ball. Strikes the middle of the ball which keeps the ball on the ground.

So many elite details from Rio Ngumoha here: ~ Receives the ball and immediately wants to drive at the opposition and force his opponent backwards ~ Look at his balance @ 00:07 to stay on his feet after absorbing the contact ~ Head up

I prefer Joao Neves but Vitinha’s ability to pop up with big-time goals is outrageous.
