2-2, Semenyo scores again. Awful defending by Liverpool.

Konate is having a nightmare game. Looks sluggish.

Salah

Well, they have a lot to clean up. They definitely should add a CB before the window closes.

Salah tearful seeing the Jota tributes from the fans. Very emotional game.

I don't remember Liverpool not tracking back at all last season like nobody helped the two central defenders for the 2-2 goal. Very lazy counter attacking goal. Gravenberch or McCalister has to play every minute for the balance. Slot made too many changes in defence, midfield. Kerkez didn't struggle as much as Frimpong, Robertson.

Second match now (Palace last Sunday and Bournemouth today) we missed Gravenberch.

With that said, it's a worrying trend now including preseason where the defense hasn't played well.

No question about it, this club is still hurting.

Just got round to the second half, Semenyo received racial abuse from a Liverpool fan and Carragher completely dismissed it. Can’t say I’m surprised at Carragher doing that tbh…

Liverpool have a few teething problems it seems despite winning, I’m sure they’ll figure it out.

Baseline81:

Yeah Szoboszlai is brilliant box to box player and
great at pressing but he shouldn't play nr.6 role. He is too attack minded and play chance balls very deep. The counter attack goals was because the lack of control in the midfield. The attack was great, Wirtz needs time.

I just saw that cuz I watched the game on stream long after live. It was very emotional watching Salah with teary eyes. It made me feel again the harsh reality of Jota being gone.

Poor first half from Aston Villa, especially since its their home opener.
