Despite not scoring, midfielder Alexis Mac Allister had an assist on the official debut of the new team.

1. Darwin Nunez fired lightning fast

All eyes were on Darwin Nunez last summer when he joined Liverpool for a transfer fee of up to 100 million euros. This player did not play too prominently in his first year with The Kop.

However, the Uruguayan striker started the new season quite smoothly with a goal in the 3rd minute of the match. It is a good momentum for Liverpool fans to hope for better things to come to Nunez this season.

2. Trent Alexander-Arnold “carrys” the midfield

All eyes were on Liverpool’s midfield ahead of the game, mainly because of Jurgen Klopp’s new recruits. But in the end, Alexander-Arnold played the most impressive.

The midfield area of Liverpool was empty of both Jordan Henderson and Fabinho. Most likely they have to get used to this absence next season.

Meanwhile, Alexander-Arnold had 64 touches, passed with 93% accuracy and only lost the ball 7 times. On the other hand, he also has 7/9 long passes to the right address.

In addition to the excellence of Alexander-Arnold, coach Jurgen Klopp also created a highlight when he let right-back Conor Bradley play in central midfield. Obviously, Liverpool’s system does not depend on one person and Klopp is finding new cards.

3. Rookies make an impression

Two rookies Dominik Szoboszlai and Alexis Mac Allister were both introduced in the match against Karlsruher. The Hungarian looked quite active, while Mac Allister coordinated well with the young players in the second half.

He even left a strong impression on the opening day with a pass for Diogo Jota to score in the final minutes of the game.

However, the Mirror assessed that the Liverpool midfield still needed more recruits and Klopp needed to recruit them quickly.

4. The morning star leaves its mark

When Klopp introduced Ben Doak to the field last season, he won over Liverpool supporters. Doak rejoined the first team this time and kept demonstrating his enormous potential.

On the right wing, he dribbles extremely quickly and demonstrates that his ability in one-on-one matchups is his strongest suit.

Along with the newcomers the German tactician brought to Anfield, Doak will be one of Liverpool’s stars to monitor in the upcoming weeks.
