Paul Gorst delivers his Liverpool match verdict on the emphatic Europa League Group E win over Toulouse at Anfield
If the old adage in football is that trophies are won on the strength of a team's defence, Liverpool are having a right good go at proving the exact opposite this season.
If the tribal nature of football can too often veer into the unwanted extremes on social media, the passing Everton chairman Bill Kenwright this week has at least reinforced the idea that those on Merseyside can come together when they really need to. It was no doubt a proud night for the staff at the Kirkby Academy as Liverpool fielded as many as three graduates from their ranks in Trent Alexander-Arnold, Curtis Jones and Luke Chambers, four if you include the fleeting period Harvey Elliott spent with the youth teams in 2019/20. Caoimhin Kelleher also kept goal for five.
The teenager can rightly be proud of his efforts and will privately be anticipating further involvement over the next few months in the cups as Robertson recovers from shoulder surgery. It was the Uruguayan striker's 20th for Liverpool in just 32 starts and Klopp's Wednesday insistence that the £64m forward is no longer in his adaptation period feels like an accurate summary at present. He was a constant problem for the overworked Ligue 1 side with his willingness to run and raw speed.
If defining Nunez's first campaign on Merseyside as a struggle is harsh, it would be entirely fair to label it an adjustment. But having rattled two past Newcastle back in September, he has looked a far more polished prospect and in this team, he will score goals. No question.
