Apart from Jackson it was a Potter team playing today under a better -we think- manager.

In the first half we definitely looked like a team able to score. Second half was Potter ball. Don't know what happened but we were sh*te, not counting Mudryk or Caicedo's mistakes.

He 's not a premier player. He could do that in Ukraine against Dnipro-1 and other schoolboys. Those clever scouts should go to the Faroe islands next and buy the best fisherman.

Look the first half was unlucky. 1-1 instead of 2-0. In the second half we were a Potter +++ team, even before their second. About Caicedo what can I say on a first day ? Never mind the pen he made two childish errors before that.

I wish we kept Havertz or Mount and sold Mudryk.

Appalling second half - boring to a neutral spectator. West Ham were going to park the bus in any case and the first ten minutes of sloppiness gave Antonio the second goal. Mudryk can stay in west London if he wants to sell pizza.

Can you believe this ?

Enzo tried to make a Jorginho run but in the end it was obvious for the keeper where the ball was going.

Who was after Jorginho ?

Badly executed penalty. Don't we have any good penalty takers ?

I 'm afraid this looks like another Kante story.

Aube scored twice against Panathinaikos. There were two more Marseille goals in which he had direct involvement, fractionally offside disallowed by VAR. A small difference in pace compared to premier makes all that difference in a player ! In Zagreb Dinamo lost also because of lack of pace. Whereas they pressed and dominated in the first half, in the second half the Dinamos were ... searching for water ! So AEK found ways to play their game and they could have won by more.

Panathinaikos is said to be the team with the bat's bone. Look what happened yesterday.

the bat's bone is a potent talisman

Panathinaikos too went through - the bat's bone worked.

AEK beat Dinamo 2-1 in Zagreb. The Croats were 1-0 up at half time but in the second half they were crushed - could have been 5-1 for the Greek team. In the last five minutes with AEK 2-1 ahead their keeper Livakovitch made four (4 !) fantastic saves to keep the score down. Meanwhile Panathinaikos looks like going down to Marseille.

Lampard used to do that, also Tuchel. Yesterday we played well - like against Dortmund in Germany if we compare with recent Chelsea matches. But just like then we could not find the net.

In Ukraine - Greece - Romania ... the pace of football is slow. So it turns out players who are legends over there cannot really make it in the premier. There may have been exceptions but it's an old story and it is the case with Mudryk I 'm afraid.

Jackson impresses me rather favourably. Also RJ was fantastic today. But the rest of the attackers no. We don't see slow motion Potterball anymore but they cannot score.

Liverpool will lose to City by 5-0, to Arsenal by 3-0. Also to United and scores of other teams.

There are harder obstacles up ahead. And Mudryk is worse than Sterling, that says it all about Mudryk.

Imagine us having Hazard and Eto'o today. What would be the score ?

Even Saleh was replaced by Klop for being a spectator.

There are excuses.

Well if you think they are the team of Keegan and Dalglish that is so. This Liverpool won't qualify for Europe this season.
