This was a surprising result following how late Newcastle equalized and it would have been easier to have ruled the game off as a draw. Liverpool didn’t play at their best today, the red card was all it took to give them the advantage but even then, Newcastle was such a challenge in the end, they just were unable to take the lead or hold the game in a draw. Ekitike has gone to be such a force in Liverpool, has scored in both Liverpool games thus far.
The last minutes goal for Liverpool was a shocker to Newcastle at the moment they had thought it was all going to end in a 2:2 draw, a result which would have favoured Newcastle the more because they were playing a 10 man team. Scoring 2 goals with a red card against the defending champions Liverpool, I think Newcastle actually tried and should be applauding for that. The Liverpool defense too wasn't looking good which was why Newcastle could have gotten those 2 goals, which is something that should catch Arne Slot attention to find a solution for that this season. It wasn't a convincing win actually.
Despite Newcastle defeat, they deserve praise for still being able to dominate with 10 men. I'm also confused by Liverpool's inability to capitalize on their opponents' 10-man defense and instead they were constantly pressured by Newcastle. Luckily Arnet Slot knows how to win.
Yes i agree with you. Despite two wins in their first two Premier League matches this season, Liverpool performance is still worrying especially in defense. It's clear their defense isn't solid they concede goals easily in situations they should have anticipated, and they're also vulnerable to direct attacks. Arnet Slot must find a solution immediately to address this. Remember, defense wins you titles.
