LIVERPOOL 2-1 CARDIFF | PATERSON

77: Wait … it was not in the script! Liverpool concedes a first goal in the Premier League at home since West Ham on February 24th.

Junior Hoilett's low ball slows down Virgil van Dijk. This contact places him right in the path of Callum Paterson and he pushes her to the back of the net.

Cardiff surely can not do the unthinkable, is not it ?!

72: Jurgen Klopp makes a difference with James Milner replacing Roberto Firmino, who was very quiet.

69: Will the valves open? You would not want to bet against this because the Anfield faithful are heard. Fabinho and Mane exchange a few quick passes before the winger is spiraled to the ground. No penalty given.

LIVERPOOL 2-0 CARDIFF | MANE

66: Game, set and match. Liverpool put the game to bed with a second strike from Sadio Mane.

Cardiff can not erase his lines and Mane makes room before throwing the ball into the far corner. Could Etheridge have done better? Maybe not, it was a rocket!

63: Penalty call! Alberto Moreno screams for a tight kick as he passes his arm crossed over Hoilett. It would have been hard enough considering the distance of the ball. Anyway, Salah's corner is poor and Morrison clears.

60: Just 67% possession of Liverpool for this second half. Jurgen Klopp makes a difference with Xherdan Shaqiri in place of Adam Lallana.

59: And another centerpiece for Cardiff, who has really tested Liverpool since the restart. Josh Murphy decides to abstain from any complex game and imposes a wide and wide effort of 25 yards.

56: purpose refused! Cardiff has the ball in the net, but he is excluded. Morrison returns home after a scrum but he left a few seconds too early.

54: Aron Gunnarsson is preparing to throw a long throw into Liverpool's penalty area … Trent Alexander-Arnold is sure of nothing. Liverpool takes a break right away but Adam Lallana and Mohamed Salah can not combine on the edge of the box.

51: Cardiff failed to hit a single goal in the Liverpool area in the first period. They still do not have …

48: Jose Murphy tries to start the half with a little spice but after cutting the inside of the left channel, he runs into a brick wall in the shape of Dejan Lovren.

LIVERPOOL 1-0 CARDIFF

45: And we're back, guys. No change for both sides, but I hope a slight increase in tempo.

The Reds are currently in the lead and will stay there for at least 48 hours if they see it.

LIVERPOOL 1-0 CARDIFF

HT: Liverpool does not have the sweat that goes out as he enters with a break advantage. Mohamed Salah scored the only goal of the half by reacting fastest after the blocked shot of Wijnaldum. Cardiff plays a game of damage control – and they do it very well indeed.

43: Good behavior from Cardiff's roaming fans: they love life in Anfield despite the fact that they did not shoot at goal. "What it was that bloody mess," was sung as Firmino struck a long ranger on the crossbar.

41: Now, what can Liverpool do from this corner? Van Dijk and Lovren still in the penalty area … the Dutch defender flies high in the stands. Roberto Firmino then picks up the ball just outside the box and stands up.

38: It's the most comfortable 1 to 0 you've ever seen, but it's not really amazing. Liverpool is content to handle possession statistics and wait for the opening of Cardiff.

35: The most deadly weapon in Cardiff? Gunnarsson's long throw … Now, Liverpool knows something from his coach. The latest has been done, but Virgil van Dijk is ready to emerge.

33: Oh, a bit of danger for Liverpool to handle while Camarasa intercepts a lazy pass across the midfield. The midfielder makes a bad pass and Fabinho is here to recover. The match slowed down a bit since Mohamed Salah's first match.

30: Fabinho clearly amuses himself in the middle of the field. He pulls the strings and keeps possession. Jurgen Klopp played the game giving him time to adapt – Red Star Belgrade and Cardiff are two of the best games he could have hoped for.

27: Trent Alexander-Arnold is the freedom of the right flank and he certainly benefits. He collects after a very impressive approach part, rotations and wide shots.

24: Nice break from Camarasa and Josh Murphy, but they can not find anyone in the box. Alisson gets together and Liverpool continues his happy journey.

21: Alberto Moreno did well to take a free kick on the left touchline but Salah's power was too low and Paterson released him into orbit.

18: Just the 85% possession for Liverpool so far. That's all, only 85% …

15: God, Liverpool could have scored three or four.

Adam Lallana has let Mohamed Salah go but Cardiff goalkeeper Neil Etheridge anticipates it and moves away to take a break. Moments later, Salah falls under Bennett's pressure but the referee is not interested.

13: woodwork! Liverpool thirst for goals and Virgil van Dijk has almost one. The center back meets Mohamed Salah's center and deflects the ball to the far post. Inches from the opening.

LIVERPOOL 1-0 CARDIFF | SALAH

10: I was going to say that Liverpool was slow and methodical … no more!

This is not an easy task, but Mohamed Salah does not care, he throws the ball next to Jurgen Klopp in the tenth minute.

Mane and Wijnaldum both blocked their efforts and the Egyptian star managed to lead him.

8: Bobby Reid looks for a spectacular shot over the head, but he completely missed the ball and came into contact with Wijnaldum's chest. Do not worry, after a few moments, he gets up.

5: Liverpool enjoying the essence of possession early. Jurgen Klopp's team is in no hurry to score – she has this confidence of the "champions" that it will come.

3: Neil Warnock meets Jurgen Klopp for the first time and the two are hugging each other before KO.

A bit of concern for Paterson, who takes a shot at the head when he challenges Moreno for an overhead ball. Rub quickly and it is good to continue.

LIVERPOOL 0-0 CARDIFF

1: Are you ready for this? I do not have Mohamed Salah in my fantasy football team – so I'm sure this guy will score a hat trick. Crazy goals are coming to Anfield!

I will keep you informed of the results elsewhere as well. I am nice like that.

Fill in: Some muppets want the same XI start to start all matches in Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup and League Cup. Why do we even need more than 11 players in the team ?!

Abby: The major difference between this season and the previous ones is in the turnover. There are four of our top 11 players who do not play today and that always seems to be a good start group.

Cheryl: Ahhhhh a merger because the team was announced. We support them all because Jurgen Klopp is the manager, and he chose the team to understand, eh!

It's been a long time …

2:50 p.m.: Cardiff's last win over Liverpool came in December 1959 in the second period, a 4-0 win at Anfield in Bill Shankly's third league match at Liverpool.

Sulky Salah? It was a relief!

2:50 p.m.: Mohamed Salah has not celebrated Red Star Belgrade by relief, said former Reds coach Stephen Warnock at Express Sport.

Liverpool striker Salah hit hard when the Reds beat Red Star Belgrade 4-0 in the Champions League on Wednesday night.

And Warnock, who grew up at the Anfield Academy and made 67 appearances before leaving for Blackburn in 2006, believes that Salah's sulky behavior was a relief.

"I think it was a relief," said Quest's pundit, Warnock, at Express Sport, about the muffled celebrations. It was probably his way of venting.

"Many things have been written and said about it this season, but it remains a considerable asset to Liverpool." Against Huddersfield this weekend he scored and it seemed like the sky could open. have not done at this time, but scoring twice will be good for gaining confidence and he will play a key role this season. "

She: Moreno & Lovren !! Klopp has once again pushed the limits in terms of the number of "not good enough" players that I can recruit and still get a result. Not enough respect being shown here, will bite one afternoon and can be avoided !!

Jacob: I know he's been injured for a long time, but Clyne has been in shape for a while, but does not show up on the sideline. Prior to his injury, he was one of the first names on the team sheet and the league's second-leading scorer against Walker, a better option than Moreno at LB.

Scott: Why is everyone talking about Moreno? It's not ideal, but it's only Cardiff FFS!

Defense

2:40 p.m.: The biggest improvement Liverpool has been in the back. I think we can all agree on that?

Virgil van Dijk and Brazilian international goalkeeper Alisson combined a defense that kept seven draws in 13 matches in all competitions.

Warnock revealed that he had missed the opportunity to have Van Dijk sign a few years before Liverpool made the Dutchman the most expensive defender in the world after bringing him from Southampton in January.

"I'm delighted (Van Dijk) to play like him," added Warnock. "We could have bought it at Crystal Palace for £ 6m, but my head manager said it was too slow, I think it's still a job."

Van Dijk and Sol Bamba at the center post? Phwoah!

Great gesture

14:30: Jurgen Klopp is a crowd favorite at Anfield – and no wonder.

On Friday, the Kop leader donated £ 4,500 to injured fan Sean Cox to help him recover.

Father of three, Sean is in a re-education unit in Dublin after being brutally attacked outside Anfield.

He faces a medical bill that can cost millions of dollars and has been unable to communicate since his coma withdrawal in July.

Klopp not only made a huge move towards the 53 – year – old supporter, but the club announced that he would dedicate the game today in Cardiff to amass more.

In addition to the £ 4,500 given to Klopp, another 4,500 were paid anonymously, bringing the total for Co Meath's man to £ 65,000.

"Almost impossible task"

2:20 p.m.: Jurgen Klopp mocked Neil Warnock's claim that Cardiff would have a "virtually impossible" job in Liverpool and stressed how eager he was to meet the boss of the Bluebirds.

It is almost certain that this is the first time I hear someone who can not wait to meet Neil …

Warnock said yesterday: "It's huge – it's virtually impossible for any team in the current match."

When it was presented to Klopp at his pre-match press conference, the manager of the Reds said with a laugh, "I'm really looking forward to meeting him, I've heard a lot about him and he's obviously very talented.

"It will be a great pleasure to meet him – I am not sure for 90 minutes, but before and after, I'm sure he looks like a character, a very very emotional and lively person.

"I've watched a lot the last period of the championship last year and the way they did it was awesome." Of all the big English active managers, he's the last one I have to meet I can not wait to see him. "

Tom: Today's line-up … I would not have personally put Xherdan Shaqiri on the bench. But I understand that bring Alberto Moreno and Dejan Lovren. Give Joe Gomez and Andrew Robertson need to rest!

Jacob: Jurgen Klopp takes Halloween very seriously this year and puts Dejan Lovren and Alberto Moreno in the back, the scariest thing I've ever seen!

Michael: I hate to criticize players who wear red, but I really hoped to see the last of Alberto Moreno wearing a red jersey. Hoping he plays an absolute blinder today!

Gobeljic, Jovicic, Krsticic … It was too much for me, but they will forever be etched in my memory.
