Florian Wirtz struggled again for Liverpool when in direct competition with Manchester City playmaker Rayan Cherki, while Bradley Barcola is still waiting on his first goal contribution for the Reds. Michael Owen has told GOAL that “Mo Salah numbers” will forever haunt big-money additions at Anfield, with transfers worth more than £100 million ($132m) piling on pressure.
Liverpool are reportedly exploring the transfer market for a new right-back as doubts grow over Jeremie Frimpong's long-term suitability in defence. The Anfield hierarchy have identified Barcelona star Jules Kounde as a primary target following a string of inconsistent performances from their recent summer signing.
Jeremy Doku delivered a devastating substitute performance to help Manchester City secure a convincing 3-0 victory over Liverpool at Anfield. The Belgian winger turned a tightly contested Premier League clash completely upside down, driving his team to a statement win.
