What were your main takeaways from the game? 🤔 We were clinging on a bit at the end… Isak, Munoz, Ngumoha and Nyoni singled out for praise The red card was the turning point in this game, no question about that, but it does not change the fact that Liverpool have gone to a team who many had expected them to lose to, and have come away with three points. Florian Wirtz’s performance was hugely encouraging, and he deserves a mention after taking so much criticism recently, but Murphy also picked out Alexander Isak, Victor Munoz, Trey Nyoni and Rio Ngumoha as being ‘positives’ for Andoni Iraola and Liverpool fans to focus on.

Munoz has been a breath of fresh air, he’s a young lad but he’s embraced playing at Liverpool, has played in different positions, he scored again. The two young boys, Ngumoha and Nyoni did well.” READ MORE: Liverpool given prediction over how long Dominik Szoboszlai will miss after Brentford injury However, Murphy then went on to detail why the game could not be seen in a wholly upbeat manner, eviscerating Liverpool’s attempts to press Keith Andrews’ team and claiming that they are still far too easy to play against.

Wirtz is playing as 10 behind Isak, he’s not in the right position, they’re not ready to press. “I think at the moment although Liverpool show moments when they go forward and they’ve won today, they are far too easy to play against and are conceding far too many chances to be competitive at the top of the table.” Liverpool could have been cleaner in certain aspects, and there was a period in the game where Brentford felt to be slicing through them at will with the ball.
