The first one was a clear pen. The only reason it will be seen as debatable is because of what happened in Liverpool’s previous match.

**** Liverpool have bought so well. We'd still be on top of the league if we'd bought Fabinho instead of Mahrez.

This is so true. Who'd have thought a full back from Hull a few years ago would be amongst the best left backs in the league?

Not by me, every player new to the league and country needs some time afaic.
I've wanted him since he dominated us 2 seasons ago. Big, mobile and technically solid. Could've been our new Yaya.

Totally agree with you on the time to settle point. I'm just sure I'd heard or read that he'd been a poor signing so far.

Haha thought you were talking about Fabinho there for a second, and became a little confused

Haha, imagine Fabinho playing for Hull. He'd wonder what all the fuss about English football is for.

He had a nightmare game against someone, I can't remember who. Might have been the first Arsenal game? I don't watch a tonne of Liverpool games as I find them largely insufferable as an entity but IIRC he didn't play that much in the early season.

Yeah the game at Arsenal was one of his first starts and he was bad.
Their strategy has been so simple as well. Have almost exclusively signed players in their mid or early 20s who have had multiple good seasons in a big league. And their forward signings turned out to be such great value that they could then do their biggest spending on a CB and GK, which would usually be a bad strategy but was fine in their context.

I remember when Salah was at Chelsea and one of his rare opportunities was against Shrewsbury in a cup tie and it is probably the single worst performance by a top level player I have ever seen. He had 2 shots one hit the corner flag and the other went about 20 yards over the bar. That was before christmas in his only season there and they got rid soon after, the rest is history.
