Liverpool lose to Salzburg in Nunez’s first start!
On Wednesday, Liverpool suffered a 1-0 loss to the Austrian team RB Salzburg.
The Community Shield final starting lineup has been teased by Klopp,
Nunez is still developing, and Sesko, a target for Manchester United,
makes an impression. FIVE LESSONS from Liverpool’s 1-0 loss to RB Salzburg
Liverpool opened the game with a lineup that was mostly made up of reserves,
and they struggled in the first half.
Manchester United target Benjamin Sesko scored the game’s only goal.
Darwin Nunez failed to hit the target but demonstrated that he will have many opportunities.
The team led by Jurgen Klopp will now focus on Saturday’s Community Shield final.
Liverpool will be coming off a loss following
a lacklustre performance against RB Salzburg into their Community Shield final matchup with Manchester City.
The hosts won 1-0 thanks to a goal from Benjamin Sesko,
and Jurgen Klopp’s lineup that night provided a preview of his starting lineup for Saturday’s match against Pep Guardiola’s club.
Liverpool lost 1-0 to RB Salzburg
and will enter the Community Shield final on a losing streak.
Klopp makes a suggestion about the Community Shield team.
In their final friendly before competing for trophies this weekend,
Liverpool had an intriguing starting lineup.
Against the Austrian team,
Jurgen Klopp elected to start with backup players before bringing on many of his star players in the second half.
At the hour mark, Mohamed Salah,
Luis Diaz, Thiago, Jordan Henderson, Virgil van Dijk, Joel Matip,
and Trent Alexander-Arnold all entered the game. Andrew Roberson entered the game shortly after halftime.
Due to their shorter playing time against Salzburg,
the Scotland captain and those who entered the game after 60 minutes all seem destined to start against Manchester City on Saturday.
Who plays down the centre for Liverpool on Saturday will be a key question.
Darwin Nunez played for the opening 45 minutes before being substituted by Roberto Firmino.
There is no guarantee that the £85 million acquisition will take the field for this weekend’s match,
and it’s possible that Klopp decides to start his trusted Brazilian player instead considering
that he previously played with other Reds stars who are expected to face Pep Guardiola’s team.
Nunez is currently being developed.
Rarely has a player’s evaluation been made as quickly as Darwin Nunez, who cost Liverpool £85 million to sign.
During Liverpool’s first preseason games,
the Uruguayan striker appeared to lack confidence in front of goal, but he quickly recovered with an incredible four-goal performance against RB Leipzig.
Nunez made his debut against RB Salzburg,
and even though he was unable to score, there were still positives to take away from his performance. In the first half,
he was the most alert player wearing Red.
At the Red Bull Arena, Liverpool took some time to get going, but when they did,
Nunez and Harvey Elliott were right in the middle of the action.
The Reds trailed 1-0 at the half, but Nunez was in position to complete a hat trick.
He did a fantastic job of taking the ball down under pressure,
but with the defender on the ground,
he was unable to completely get it out of his feet before it was taken away.
Nunez then missed a wonderful opportunity after being assisted by Isaac Mabaya.
