[Music] anfield one of the most stored venues anywhere in the foot e [Music] [Applause] good Lu let's take a look at the Liverpool starting 11 Allison gets the ND in goal Andrew Robertson starts with Trent Alexander Arnold in the fullback positions Mohamad Salah plays with doo jot in the wide positions and the idea is to have just the one Striker up there trying to pose problems for the opposition and here's the starting 11 for bretford well it'll be interesed to see how the Wingers play today will they stay high and wide will they come in field and support the center forward and how deep will they come out of possession they're going to be key to this formation follows number one Alison number 66 Trent Alexander Arnold number five ibraim Kate thank you anfield enjoy the [Music] [Applause] game and the game begins great strong tackle throw in [Applause] forthcoming Salah now with Alexander Arnold return to Salah and an astute piece of Defending and a brenford throwing [Applause] oh he's through here and nicely struck oh excellent diving [Applause] stop they take it short and he takes it on and the keeper more than equal to the [Applause] task that'll be a Liverpool ball the ball lost here this might be the perfect counterattacking [Applause] opportunity can he play it in [Applause] he'll be delighted to have won the ball having made that difficult challenge a chance maybe from the wide position [Applause] fabinho the supporters want to see him have a go oh he saved it well [Music] [Applause] but he's gone short with [Applause] it just the clearance that was needed and he might be through [Applause] here firing is in and Diving to towards him [Applause] trying to pick out a teammate relatively straightforward to mop up defensively L into the box and the problem not completely solv oh the crossbar is still reverberating me well you sense the goals coming they're getting so close now they just need to take one of these chances yes a really open flow to the game end to endend stuff Alexander Arnold takes the shot using his body a good [Applause] effect bodies forward and the break looks on and pushed away to [Applause] safety vjo van dijk Henderson and Liverpool might be able to cash in based on that challenge you wouldn't be at all surprised if the referee reaches for his pocket and a yellow card it's going to be Stewart yeah the ref got that right it's a yellow card all day long [Applause] and you've got to say meat and drink to those in the [Applause] wall Yensen Josh D Silva can they hit on the break well it petered out well there you have it Liverpool have controlled most of the possession but they haven't done enough with it particularly in the Midfield areas where their passing has been far too safe and that needs to change quickly if they're to win this one no doubt they go to work moving it around again accurate ball into towards the near post struggling to get it away well the goalkeeper in charge of the situation well this is a big moment and don't these fans know [Applause] it now how about the short corner and cutting inside superb block and it could be a chance for Liverpool to take the lead from a corner [Applause] can someone get on the end of this well a struggle to get it away properly a high degree of difficulty with that sort of attempt well he's just mistimed it hasn't he didn't catch it how he would have wanted and well that's the result [Applause] [Applause] not the best Challenge free kick [Applause] pretty comfortable piece of Defending no more time left first half is over here at [Applause] anfield well not really too many opportunities for Moos Salah to show his class in this game Stuart well he's had no real on the game so far yes he's been tightly marked but he has to work hard to make things happen he's been really [Music] disappointing and the contest begins and nicely struck oh excellent diving stop [Applause] well as they get the ball rolling again interesting to see how this second half pans out well that looked to me like excess of force what was the referees reading of it well he's going to be taking no further part in this match well it's not a clever challenge is it they're going to have to dig in now [Applause] [Applause] up for a Liverpool [Applause] throw J just not looking confident in possession this might be ideal for the count and it looked like open road for them but up a dead [Applause] end now let's see what they can do here possibilities inside the box and keeper ball he made it look as though it was never in any doubt what a shocking pass really a reminder that the stadium is a family friendly Environ ands seat you forer Henderson has it Henderson and he stopped them in their tracks now counterattacking possib here Defenders need to cover well it was a superb Counterattack but no goal yeah really good play won the ball back well and then counted a great speed that deserved a goal [Music] [Applause] fabinho Alexander Arnold and a good challenge to bring that attack to an [Applause] end [Applause] yanel and into the last 20 minutes [Applause] me Yensen wha has it how far from the ideal pass you've got to say ja and the pass not quite accurate enough and a throw in then now they're going to alter things here's the substitution Vitali [Applause] yanel well that pass easy on the eye and it all counts for not this is Thiago the high press was very much [Applause] on and given the situation a goal at this stage might well turn out to be a [Applause] winner and after the cross a tremendous block and the opinion of the referee that is a [Applause] penalty and it is substitution time at this juncture not just from one side but from both best to make it one nil and he puts it away confidently [Applause] well as you can see the keeper makes no effort in the end he was hoping it would be struck down the middle but it's an easy finish [Applause] really goal for dramatic moment near the end and that might well be the decider Liverpool trailing late in this game but who knows what happens next this could be the equalizer but no when your goalkeeper comes up with a save like that late in the game you have caused to be thankful well that could be a key moment they have to take those sort of chances they won't get too many more but let's credit the goalkeeper [Applause] playing it in outrageously good piece of Defending on the line well a corner right on the back of the last [Applause] one tried to pick out a teammate well the header needed to be a lot better than that didn't really make the keeper [Applause] work Liverpool have a all to do and that's easy peasy for the keeper and there goes the final whistle not what Liverpool fans anywhere wanted to see it's a defeat for them your assessment yes Derek they were well off their usual standards today and with the quality that they have in their squad I think it's fair for the fans to demand more too many bystanders for me just not good enough well as we run the rule over this man's work positive after positive Stewart well I enjoyed watching him today his work rate skill and movement were excellent and he fully deserved to score that winning go [Music]
