You’d always take four points from the first six on offer. And you’d definitely take them in the circumstances that Liverpool have faced; an unfinished squad with an opening game away at a top six rival, followed by a home game in which they fall behind, and spend most of the second half with ten men.
Well, I thought that this would be a game we might not learn much from and in reality, I don’t think we did. The game, from a Liverpool perspective, felt like a continuation of what we’ve seen in pre-season.
