General rehearsal for Liverpool this Wednesday evening in the Premier League with the reception of a invigorated Newcastle, but without its scorer Alexander Isak, a week before the 8th round of the Champions League against PSG. Arne Slot almost lined up her typical team, since Eliminated from FA Cup, the Reds will not play this weekend and will be able to prepare their European shock. And the match quickly turned into a defense attack so much Liverpool stifled his opponent.
And it was materialized very quickly. On the left side, Luis Diaz took advantage of the apathy of Schär, on the decline, to enter the surface and serve behind Szoboszlai, who crossed his strike and cheated Pope (1-0, 11th). Newcastle took incessant waves on its goal, with Luis Diaz's activity and Jota's good orientations, but did not give in again. He even found a little air in the following minutes, but inevitably, left space in which the men's men were rushed. Wilson, tenured at the forefront of the Magpies attack, did not forget Isak and Loupait the frame on an equalization bullet (30th).
Dominating liverpool without forcing
In pouring rain which did not facilitate technical flights, the two teams competed in intensity, but we felt a more Liverpool in management. Upon returning from the locker room, Newcastle tried to accelerate but came to the solid defense of the Reds, who were going to prick against it. Rush of Mac allister full axis, shift on Salah which gave it back to the surface for a victorious rolled strike (2-0, 63rd). Without even forcing his talent, Liverpool was breaking.
Arne Slot could run, and thus put Gravenberch at rest, again sparkling, and Alexander-Arnold, not always fair. The scoring no longer moved, even if Pope had to make a few parades. Liverpool thus takes 13 points ahead of his runner -up Arsenal, held in check by Nottingham earlier in the evening. We already wish PSG good luck to try to destabilize this diabolical Liverpool in the Champions League next Wednesday, as this team has few faults.
