Cody Gakpo watched Liverpool stutter to victory against Leicester from the stands. Jude Bellingham cannot solve those midfield problems. Wout Faes helped.
It is a rare but beautiful thing for the trending topics on Twitter to provide a concise yet entirely thorough match report. ‘Faes’, ‘Sideshow Bob’, ‘David Luiz’ and ‘2 own goals’ left absolutely no doubt as to the state of affairs at Anfield by half-time.separate Liverpool and Leicester
It could and probably should have been a happier return to Merseyside for the Leicester manager. His Foxes were, on balance, the better side for at least a first half during which Cody Gakpo must have wondered what he had signed up for. Liverpool were dreadful in the opening 45 minutes, loose in the pass, leisurely in the press and looking like they were taking the p*ss.
They were a constant threat on the counter-attack, helped in no small part by the particular carelessness ofand Andy Robertson in possession. There was a bafflingly high volume of passes played straight from players in red to those in blue, especially in Liverpool’s own half. Stefan Bajcetic did at least impress in a late substitute cameo. The teenager’s crunching tackle on Luke Thomas was celebrated vigorously by Klopp, who must have been thrilled at the sight of someone actually carrying out their role competently.
